Been playing diatonics for about 10 years. Went out and bought a chromatic specifically for this song. Now I just need another 10 years to learn this song.

[@pipfiction]

sad but true haha

[@academiaprof.diegorodrigue6972]

Yo también compre un cromatico para interpretar esa canción, Misty es un maravilloso tema Musical. Te felicito amigo Excelente interpretación y muy sentido. Saludos desde Asunción Paraguay.

[@manuelfranciscoflores]

ahora voy a por una cromatica para aprender a tocar esta melodia , de la peli misty !!

[@murraycharters6102]

@cascadiaweasel. I have got exactly the opposite problem. I play all the old standards and other songs by ear on the chromatic harmonica BUT I am bloody useless playing blues on the diatonics. I can bend the notes blowing and sucking no problem but apart from a simple 12 bar phrase that I can play I just have no ability to be a good blues player

Thank you for this lovely video Filip! I have been using it to learn Misty. You play it very nice! I love what you are doing in the last half of the B-section. It sounds so smooth! I am having a bit of a difficult time understanding what happens, but I will figure it out :)

I found a tab I really like for this song, and I was able to play most of it. This song is a pure joy to play, and it's been womderful to go around youtube to hear different renditions of this song tonight. Beautiful soulful performance here :)

[@FilipJersMusic]

Thanks for your kind words! 🎵🙏🎵

[@robertma6068]

@@FilipJersMusic One thing I like about this as a song to learn is that it's the perfect song to leran first without ornamentions and flourishes, and you can add them later in. I've gotten a lot of the song off the bat, but the faster parts in the higher registers are something I have to slow down and practice for awhile.

[@haggbard]

I usually say that Toots is the only harmonica player worth listening to. Now there is also you. Sjukt fint! Tack för den fina tolkningen!

[@FilipJersMusic]

Tusen tack för dina fina ord!

[@alanjones1274]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much. I recently heard an up tempo of 'Begin the Beguine' by Artie Shaw. A great swing number. I would love to hear a master like yourself play it.

[@FilipJersMusic]

Great suggestion!

[@InTheGrooove]

You are an inspiration. Just bought my first Chromatic 👍

[@danagreen6518]

marvelous, my god this great…I just started this today in Eb and Bb versions…are you in the original key of Eb? I want to study your intonation and phases…your the best, dana via Maine, USA, thanks so much for providing this video…

[@FilipJersMusic]

Yes, correct this is Eb. This song is a great study! I am using a 14 hole chromatic in this video.

[@brianwalker1933]

Just discovered your channel and have subscribed. I admire and enjoy your relaxed style of playing. I play the 10 hole diatonic harmonica and l’m happy with my playing of it. I recently bought a chromatic harmonica but l’m hopeless at playing it, when using the “slide button”. 😩 I just can’t figure out how to play it. I don’t know when and when not to push the button to get the sound l’m expecting. Are there any tutorials available on how to play these chromatic harmonicas? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated…Watching from Australia. 🦘🇦🇺🦘

Wonderful! Can you please send me the link for this back track a others so slow?

[@marcelovelardecanazares7791]

Great performance, really!! Perhaps I´ll try my own one day, haha, but as a pianist (amateur), I'm interested in the band behind... Who are they? Where did you get this version in karaoke? Thanks and best regards from Argentina

Very nice, well done! Curious to know the model of this harmonica ..Thanks!

Thanks Dan! This is a Suzuki Sirius S56.

Tack!

[@intothefoxhole7985]

What brand and make and how many holes is your harmonica? Im thinking about getting a chromatic.

[@ricardocortezsr2651]

Excellent ! is this Harmonica tuned in Eb like ten hole hohners that come in every key ? Thank you

[@FilipJersMusic]

No this is a 14 hole instrument tuned in C. Lowest note on 14 hole instruments are G.

[@anpo6063]

Hi Philip, thx for this! I have a question is this a chromatic in C? I'm trying to figure the song out by ear...

[@harmonica212]

"WOW," I thought this was really good sounding it reminds me of Toots Thielemans playing. You can hear his sound and his style of playing.

[@Solutions1Strengths]

What key harmonica is this? Is it a Low C. What key are you playing in? (or what note are you starting on?). Thank you. This is FANTASTIC!!! Love the sound!!

[@FilipJersMusic]

Hi! Thanks for your kind words! It is a 14 hole Suzuki Sirius 56S.

[@FilipJersMusic]

This is a C chromatic!

[@kyrenallen9382]

Does anyone have the tabs to this???

[@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt]

Beautiful playing. Is the chromatic harder to say than diatonic? And what's a good starter model for chromatic? Thank you

[@FilipJersMusic]

Hi! Yes, the chromatic is a bit harder. Or - they are both tricky in different ways. A great starter model is the Suzuki SCX48in C.

[@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt]

@@FilipJersMusic Thanks so much, very kind and much appreciated. I've always loved Misty, and you play it like a true master.

[@elrey7608]

Hey Filip is that an SM58?

[@FilipJersMusic]

Yes correct!

[@FrostRare]

Strangely, the most difficult part of playing harmonica for me is my high blood pressure and the rapidity at which I get light headed. I need to control my breathing. Any tips?

[@danagreen6518]

Is “Misty” a lesson in your course program (website)?

[@FilipJersMusic]

No, sorry I can only teach my own material on my website.

what is the brand of the armonica

[@FilipJersMusic]

Suzuki Sirius56S

[@johnvanes7117]

Where can i find the sheet music or tabs

[@FilipJersMusic]

The sheet music you should be able to buy online somewhere. I don´t know where to get tabs, sorry.

[@SimplicityForGood]

anyone that know which Key this chromatic Harmonica is in? - I wonder what people think of playing solo on a chromatic harmonica as a beginner set in the key of Bb? :)

[@FilipJersMusic]

This is a C chromatic, 14 hole model.

[@mrchow9492]

Suzuki should design a 14 holer mellow harp dedicated to you

[@FilipJersMusic]

Thanks for your kind words! That would be lovely :-)

[@urbansketcher4488]

What is the key of the harmonica?

[@FilipJersMusic]

It is a C 14 hole chromatic.

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

This tells me that my idea of replacing "bassoon, clarinet, oboe, and flute" by "bassoon, chromatic harmonica, oboe, and flute" might work. (Why would I want to do that? I dislike the clarinet timbre.)

[@FilipJersMusic]

Good idea! I love the clarinet, I play a bit clarinet myself actually :-) And I also played basson a long time ago.

can I paint it with something? For my lips not to touch the harmonica? Have you heard about it before??
