@@MitchGraingerMusicI'm buying a Harmonica because of the movie "once upon a time in the west" staring Charles Bronson. I see a lot of tutorial videos that show the song is literally just 4s & 5s, it's still a little confusing but I'm getting there. Do you think you can do a visual tutorial on how to play it. I'm 41 & it's my favorite western movie so I decided to learn how to play that Harmonica song.

@florpyjohnson9531 2 года назад

i never knew you could breathe in on the harmonica to create other notes. whoever designed the harmonica is a genius. i play the flute as well and it drains your breath very quickly and it takes years of practice to learn the right techniques to not make it do that. with harmonica, you just play and you never have to stop to breath or anything. you can go forever until your lungs stop working. it makes it very addictive to play

@ironman20150 Год назад

you can also breathe in whilst whistling to make notes as well

@johnbonthron8528 3 года назад

Age 73, I have been inspired to learn this ‘harp’. In Scotland we call it a ‘moothie’ or mouth organ. Thank you Mitch, you are a star.

@MitchGraingerMusic 3 года назад

Hey John! I like it. I'd never heard the expression 'moothie' before ether!

@johnbonthron8528 3 года назад

My Dad could play the moothie a bit and whenever Larry Adler came on our radio, Dad would get in the groove again. I suppose back in his day, the mouthorgan was affordable and portable. Keep up your good work, Mitch. You have a great knack of communicating, very droll!

@caroldier6425 2 года назад

Hi John, my uncle played the mouthie and the piano accordian too.New years day was alway awash with laughter and song, thanks to Unce Jack. I bought my dad a hohner chromonica 280 C, thinking he mih give it a wee try after Uncle Jack passed. Sadly he didn't like to, and I have 'reinherited' it. Now I find masel here, looking for some tips and tricks to ge me started. Any easy (ish) Scottish folky tunes you'd recommend. At 50 nw, my memory doesn't let me rememebr the ones Jack played for us, but I'm sur it will come back, as i\ get fmiliar with the instrument.

The lesson was just the right amount to be not too hard, not too easy. Looking forward to the next one after I practice for about two weeks. Fun instrument, glad I tried it out. Thank you!

I just want to say thank you for sharing this with us, you're awesome. I haven't even thought about paying the harp for awhile, but recently I decided that I want to get my kids interested in playing musical instruments, and there is no better way than to show them how rewarding it can be. My vision is having a family bluegrass band, we have a fiddle on the way, and it will take years, but I want to be able to play "Blue moon of Kentucky".

@MitchGraingerMusic 4 года назад

Hey Jon, Thanks so much, that's awesome. Ps. I'm working up Blue Moon of Kentucky as a jam track/play a long for my website! :)

I thought playing the harmonica was just like whistling and you decide the chords. I decided I should buy one after this.

Well, I’m a guitarist from…..I’ve been around a minute. Got hurt. Can’t play; RIGHT NOW. I hope to be back soon. Thought I’d try a new instrument. Being the musician snob that I am, bought an $1800.00 bone harmonica (key A) hoping I could make it work. No COVID. Just more money than sense and a love for all things blues. Thank you for these lessons. Very practical and approachable. I look forward to following every post.

Angelica De La O u always say that there are a certain amount of practice hours you must do to sound awesome. Let’s say it’s about 50 hours.. I used to recommend 20 minutes a day, when people have busy lives. Keep up the practice and you’ll be rocking before this quarantine is over for sure. 🤙

@shatteringairfist191 5 лет назад

Hello! I just randomly bought a harmonica in Ross for the sake of curiosity. I notice the left side , low note, responds well with the air pressure i apply to it. However, the other half of the harmonica, to the right, does not respond well. I have to blow harder for it to generate the sounds. Is that how the harmonica works or i bought the broken one?

WOWEEEE!!! Thankyou so much! My Daddy use to blow harp when I was little. I have messed around through the years but have never been able to figure out how to get that bluesy sound. I'm knock..knock...knockin' on SEVENTYS door but I learned more from you today than in all the years I've been blowing. Too boot...I have COPD. If for no other reason I breathe better after blowing the harp for a half hour. THANK YOU SO MUCH MITCH...God bless you and yours. JoAnne from Southwest Ontario Canada.

I am a beginner and a smoker too, the thing is you breath in and out of it so you need to control your breathe more than to have a huge lung capacity or whatever .. if you like it start, and maybe you'll stop smoking then ;)
