5 Stupidly Simple Harmonica Grooves (Guaranteed to Impress)

[@MattH1874]

Guitar player here. Had a bad finger injury that needs surgery. It's been driving me insane not playing. So, I'm gonna be with you for a while. I hope ❤ ☮️

[@Harmonicacom]

YES!!! You got this! 👊🏼 Repetitive stress syndrome from playing guitar is what drove me deeper into harmonica way back in the day.

[@no1philosopher]

hows it been going?

[@richardjohnson2484]

Just great Luke , 87 years old and still trying

[@Harmonicacom]

YESS! Right on Richard!

[@michaelliuzzi]

[@Mysteryman11850]

You can do it grandpa! I’m 52 and trying:))

[@letsbefrank6269]

[@poobird3606]

[@JimKinman-b9t]

After breaking my left arm, and unable to play my guitar for a while, I still needed music in my life. I came across your lessons by chance and must say, thank you, your a dedicated teacher. A new chapter begins :)

[@Harmonicacom]

AWESOME! I started on guitar and got much deeper into the Harmonica when I got repetitive stress syndrome in my left hand. 👊🏼 #silverlinings

[@AntonioLeist]

I got a harmonica today for easter and im so happy about it because im a huge fan of western music :D I instantly subscribed to your channel because you teach very beginner friendly and its relatively easy to follow, i hope i get good at this and i wish all the best to everybody who reads this and is also practising

[@Harmonicacom]

Welcome aboard!

[@steveo865]

That ons is killer so manyb😮options and variations if have the ability to bend slide or just a solid foundation on the instrament

[@simonhicken3892]

how far have you come?

[@reedbender1179]

Happy Easter,good decision...practice is the key,so stick at it ,you will get better over time...choose what you enjoy and then enjoy working it out! Once you can master just one lick you're laughing,the rest will follow. Just go for it !👍

[@eddiebear34]

I played for about 7 months solid when I started. I felt I was a quick learner with it. Stopped for about a year. Now I'm back at it. Your videos helped me in the beginning, now they are getting me up to speed again

[@Harmonicacom]

Right on Eddie. So happy to hear it. Rock on! 😎

[@Lecon60]

Nice. I carry my harmonica everywhere and I'm always playing, willing to put it to music. I started about 6 months ago. Many times when I know a solo, I kick in with my harmonica. I'm having fun.

[@Harmonicacom]

AWESOME!!! Keep it up man! You're making the world a better place. Rock on! 😎

[@GeraldPatt]

Thank you Luke. I’ve been learning to play since 2017. I mostly play for myself and children. I buy harmonicas and give them to interested children, teaching about four of them what I’ve learned. You’re a great and inspiring teacher. I’ll be sending my $thanks here.❤😊

[@Harmonicacom]

Aw that's so cool! Good for you. Keep up the great work! 🙌🏼

[@AndréCamelierCujo]

I've always wanted to play the harmonica, and even started by myself, but always felt I wasn't getting any better. Your lessons really made a difference, and I can't thank you enough for it. Best wishes from Brazil!

[@Harmonicacom]

Right on meu irmão! Aloha from Hawaii.

[@greggmarkowski5203]

These are fun simple groves/riffs that any beginner can "master" and then have a blast playing for friends and in the right situation play along with KZbin and recordings. Kind of jump start the fun of playing. Great video.

[@Harmonicacom]

Right on Gregg! You got it. Rock on! 😎

I love a fair bit of western medias and blues music and I'm a newcomer to the harmonica. Somehow it never crossed my mind to use the mouth shapes of vowels and syllables before. This really is a game changer! Instant subscribe. I feel like this channel may come in very useful in the future! Edit: I'm gonna need a link for shirts like that cause it looks awesome.

I’m am not a player but am thinking about it. I like your videos. I have one suggestion that I think may helpful to beginners and it is to color code blows as red numbers and draws as blue numbers.

Hi Luke ! I've just discovered your youtube page, it's undoubtedly one of the best. Thank you for your work! I really like Juzzie Smith's Jamming, I discovered this artist in your video. I play the riff but I'd like to add his little harmonica phrases at 40'', 50'', 1'00'', 1'13'', ... in the official video. I don't have the ear to hear the notes, with the microphone it's very difficult. Do you have a tablature please? I would be very grateful Thank you once again for your content!

Thanks, Luke! Understanding music is not my forte. Can you link to a melody to which I can play the second groove?

[@chrishammonds72]

Seems like the norm in comments for guitar players switching over to harmonica due to hand/shoulder injuries interfering with their guitar playing and I’m definitely one of them too. When one passion becomes less fun due to injuries it’s good to pick up a different instrument and learn something new that keeps you enjoying the passion of playing music.

[@Harmonicacom]

Yep. I already had been playing harp for a couple years, but when I got repetitive stress syndrome in my left hand and had to stop playing guitar, I started playing A LOT more harp!!!!! Silver linings...

[@strudelheiman3030]

Guitar player here having more appreciation / being impressed for instruments that don’t have a huge variety of different notes and positions Also been getting into Ron Mckernan from Grateful Dead and his harmonica playing Every guitar player wants to play lead when we jam so I figure I’ll play rhythm and bust out the harmonica haha
