@thedek12 been playing 15 yrs or so and "competently" is subjective but after a couple of years I started to feel pretty good. I'm always learning and trying to perfect my craft: tone, technique, flow etc. It's a life long journey and that's what keeps me going is that there is so much to learn. The better ya get, the more enjoyable it is because you can express yourself more accurately. biggest obstacles for me were bending in pitch and overall control.

Ronnie, Thnx for the rhythm stuff! EVERYONE: Ronnie has a couple of downloads that are absolutely full of jewells. Playing over the IV chord is one. Playing over the V chord is another. Both are absolutely worth it. Tons of riffs to get you thinking out of the box. HINT: repeat a riff that is unusual for you until you develop the muscle memory--then it will come out automatically later without thinking.

@Santi2c while i lack in theory, i can tell you for certain that 3 draw can sound great on the IV chord. perhaps not as a long draw note but i use 3 draw all the time as a passing note within licks.

Boy how I dig that solo from 2:09 - 2:41! Might raise the rhythm topic in one of the Open Feedback Sessions. I have the rhythm down but I'm struggling with adding riffs in between and move back to the rhythm afterwards. See ya in class soon

For someone getting a different sound from him, try to blow more than just one role at the same time making a rhythm. Like -(123) +2 -1 +2 -(123) -3 -3 +3

@tRonnieShellist Hey Ronnie , i think this lesson is really great , So practical and really got me thinking , i was always under the assumption that i should change the lick or emphasis from the I to the iv chord, almost automatically, and this demonstration opend up my mind , ofcourse the theory is intresting but just showing is an example , i mean actually making us hear it is where its at. I hope you make more lessons like this. Thanks alot, love your playing and phat tone

the major 3rd of the key (draw 3) doesn't sound good on the IV chord. If we're in a G blues: G7 vs. C7, the major third ('B') on the I chord is the major 7th of C, but it's not C maj7 it's C7. CLASH... between Bb and B. Bb (minor 3rd) works on both chords, B (major third of the key) works only on I chord. But I agree that overall the language is similar on both (with the exclusion of the major third.)

I've lost so many harps. I've got to replace my A and my D and G. I'm down to 2 Cs and a B. Ronnie likes to do his vids with an A it seems. And every key has its own feeling of course so even though he says what holes to use, I'm used to using my ear more than tabs.

Always good stuff, Mr. Shellist. kudos! I think there are a couple of I chord riffs that don’t work on the IV, but they are exceptions to the rule. I wrote a song with the infamous I-V-vii-IV pop change. Interesting what riffs work on which changes in that arrangement. It opened up my playing, fer sure.
@Harmonica1234 жыл бұрын
i want o hear those I chord riffs that don't work on the IV. All musical ideas I've heard, in the context of I IV V blues, that work on the I chord work fine throughout the progression.

"everything that sounds good on the I chord sounds good on the IV chord"... Not major thirds, surely? I'm a beginner but always flatten the third over the IV chord...
@Harmonica1234 жыл бұрын
I am speaking of ideas not note choices and yes you can use the major third on the I and IV, they key is that it's a passing tone.

what # holes are you playing this in??? what key is it the harmonica? sorry but I just started playing last week and I don't know much about music. I would really like to learn this. I've been trying to play it by ear but I can't get the sounds to match. I have a cheap plastic harmonica but I should be able to get something somewhat similar even with this shitty one. thanks y'all!

He's playing 2nd position on an A harp, which is key of E for blues (cross harp). if you have a guitar or keyboard, you can figure out the chords of the backing track, the I / IV / V is E / A / B(flatted 7) and it works with an A harp in second position.
@TimDevine3117 жыл бұрын
BRUHSTRADAMUS easy way to figure out key's is as follows: if you have a harp in key of "C", count up 5 keys from "C" and you get "G". this is the key you need for the backing track.
@1N2themystic7 жыл бұрын
Bro...you really need to go get a real harp. I'd recommend a Lee Oscar in C or maybe A but a Honer is good also. Anything in the $40 range is going to be a good harp that plays well and would probably be stage worthy,there area couple metal harps for around $10 that would bea lot better than what it sounds like you are using. those plastic things are only going to frustrate you into giving up. Hang in there man.

@@Harmonica123 re-start! I picked up the harp and the board during lockdown in my mid 30"s, in fact, i picked up the harp because i broke my elbow skateboarding, couldn't play guitar so decided to learn the blues harp, now (despite the injury) they are the two reasons to get up in the morning... whilst the world descends into chaos
