Alternate Harmonica Tuning Masterclass (Brendan Power)

[@ZvikaDror]

Amazing showcase of Brendan's great contribution and inspiration to the modern Harmonica! Thank you JP for putting this up

[@Singzdream]

Mad scientist of the harmonica!

[@goodtohaveinajam8148]

My fave carry around harmonica is the Lee Oskar A, because guitars are tuned in E, which is cross harp to the A. Also use the Natural Minor keys, and I like the Dorian scale. Lately have been recording as backup to my friend's poetry, working on his Pandemic series. Free form, super fun and creative.

[@Harmonicacom]

Fantastic! I love the natural minor keys as well. And I love playing in 3rd position on regular harps as well (dorian.) Rock on!

[@Danzeeman]

very interesting, love your way of improving on that fantastic little instrument Brendan. I'll sure stay tuned, thanks, Dan

Vous êtes splendide ! Bravo!

[@HarmonicaVaudeville]

really interesting! Thank for that great tutorial!

I love how you play Irish music with harmos. Would you recommend any Lee Oskar harp which tuning could fit for a beginner in Irish music ?

[@howlinhoward]

If you can find someone to tune the 3 blow up one step (on a key of C harmonica, up from G to A), you have a Paddy Richter tuning (Brendan mentions this tuning). That's a popular tuning for Irish tunes. You'd want harmonicas in the keys of G and D.

[@teliph3U]

What's your opinion on the augmented tuning (all 12 notes in order on 3 holes) for chromatic harmonica? I'm really fascinated by the idea and I'm trying to find a harmonica without paying a fortune. And idea? :)

[@srrlIdl]

Where can I get that thumb ring?

[@CasaErwin]

I'm a big fan of the Paddy Richter tuning, but I find the others too confusing.

[@corrindion]

Fabulous!

[@Harmonicacom]

A whole new universe!

[@jackdueck4370]

What Is best train whistle sound special tuning?

[@Harmonicacom]

Standard tuning, key of G or A.

[@ChromaticHarp]

So draw 6 is now G on a C harp and will bend? And the B draw 7 bends?

[@Harmonicacom]

-6 is and A on C harp - yes it will bend. -7 and -8 will not bend. But BLOW 8,9,10 bend

[@ChromaticHarp]

@@Harmonicacom that’s just like a normal harp

[@willieboy8798]

if you want to play better harp... learn to sing, hum and whistle. I learned to get rid of a morning frog in my throut by the doc. My speaking has become better as a result as well. those muscles in the throut make all the difference....i can bend a note to hell and back and hold it, shift it and ease it back. good job on the video...

[@Harmonicacom]

Cool!
