Harmonica Box Shuffle & Partial 7th Chord Vamping

[@Bloozguy]

My goodness gracious! Does the internet realize how information packed & valuable the musical information being dispensed in just this one video is????..... and, being delivered here for.... F R E E??!! I mean, this could even be a bass guitar lesson if you're paying attention. ...and then think about how guys like Alan Wilson learned how to play harmonica in the age when there wasn't anyone to teach you, nevermind a step by step method like this, that you can slow down, and repeat all you want.....and from a world class harp player to boot! This is even going to help my guitar playing out in terms of swing etc. That pen analogy was great! I bet Alan would have been drooling for something this back in 1964! No wonder there's so many people playing really good blues harmonica these days......You definitely are a very generous person.... Stellar lesson brother! _It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!_ 🎷🎸🎹

Nice mate. I love a good box shuffle. Thanks for teaching me how to play these.

[@A-staticCal]

Mooncat, my man. I've been struggling for some inspiration, calling, new jam, whatever you want to call it to get me motivated again. This did it. Thanks, brother. Stay safe and have a good weekend. Can't wait till everyone is on the road again. I missed it the last time you were through my way.

[@frankmeese1171]

Great fantastic lesson... I learned a lot regarding this video. About the root... Fifth... Flat7...and the octave...

[@jasonricci]

Thats it!

[@TooleyPeter]

Thank you for the tutorial! Always great to see you, Jason.

So much passion in Jason guts. I'm always excited when I open one of your vids cause I know the amount of knowledge and passion I'm gonna receive. I hope you know the number of people you touch with your videos. Thanks man.

Dude, this was it! I’ve been working on teaching my student something related to this and you just went next level! Thank you Jason. So grateful to God for you and your work. God bless you and your family. This was providential. Thanks again! -Ronnie

[@rustyharp2020]

Damn! Love your enthusiasm!

[@MrHallamshire]

Thanks Jason. I started learning harmonica several years ago and found you then but because of not being able to practice at home I didn't make much progress so I bought an electric guitar with headphone socket and have been having a blast. This lesson on the box pattern really helped me. It's surprising how much I learned from my harmonica efforts that really gave me a leg up learning blues on guitar. Keep up the good work. You have a way of explaining things that is very entertaining.

[@Voltanaut]

Mate, that 6/9 split at around 4:30 sounded funky!

Nice homage to The Blind Owl!

[@vinsamson8061]

Jason, I must say, you are “on fire” at the moment and it is great to see and hear you so motivated because that really does pass onto us disciples and keeps us motivated and eager to progress. This I think is the best video you have done and is so valuable to me personally at the standard am at presently. It may have blown my mind two years ago but now thanks to you and your excellent tutorage it goes in pretty quick and I can use it in my own playing to make it more expressive and stand out! I have had many great comments and praise of my playing on the limited gigs I have done with the band and that reflects on the instruction from you and obviously practice time too! Many thanks Jason. You are now undoubtedly the “King” of harmonica tutorage for the intelligent player who wants to stand out and be noticed. I will be signing up to your Patreon as you deserve it! Keep up the great work you are doing. Congratulations again for the award nominations for your abilities also👌🤘🎉🎶

[@jasonricci]

Awe Kevin! Thank you for taking the time write all of this! Really means a lot! Holler at me at [e-mail] if you ever want to chat.

[@vinsamson8061]

Jason I’d like you to have a listen to one of my own tunes that was featured on the local BBC radio Station last night alongside my other tunes. The harp on the tune is first position and it sits beautifully over the banjo(no don’t run yet!) thanks to your wonderful tutorials. I don’t only limit myself to this style of playing/genre but also play in 2nd /3rd position thanks to you in a full band situation also as harp guy using one of your mics and lone Wolf pedal set up also. Thanks again Jason for helping me on my way harmonica wise as Clifton Hicks has with my banjo skills. Without you guys I’d be nowhere still🤘🎶kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ3ToZWfe7iKgNU

Cool groove as always man. Ty.

[@MrFozinator]

Maybe best ever

[@CandidHarper]

Dude what's that thing you do to breath out? Kinda answered my own question but not really. Could you break it down? Because when you do it there's no harp sound so it don't sound like your doing it rhro the harp? So are you doing it away from the harp?

[@jasonricci]

YES!!! Check out my video called chugging on the inhale only! : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2W2ioRret-nnZo

That was awesome Sir. Loved your enthusiasm, playing and concise explanations, was that Schroedingers cat? Physics and the harmonica sweeeet;) Inspiring, Thank you. I felt I learned a ton but will have to revisit this a lot to learn more:)

[@jasonricci]

Ha you CAUGHT that!!!! Thank you!

[@derweakzaeg894]

This lesson made me sound better instantly! Although I can't keep it up for too long, because I'm inhaling way too much air...any tips? I tried loosening my lips on the blow holes, but that sounds aweful 😅

[@jasonricci]

Try short QUICK breaths OUT in-between notes!

[@derweakzaeg894]

Thank you, J! I'm getting the hang of it! Making the notes just a bit shorter has also helped a lot with breathing! ('Ta-ta' instead of 'Da-Da')

[@mcclaskeyj]

Another great lesson, thanks for sharing! If you wipe down your camera lens, it'll remove that haze from your video next time. ;)

[@petercollins2905]

Jason, Please clarify this for me. The 7th and the flat 5th exist in each of the 1st, 4th and 5th cords. They do not represent notes on the major/minor scale.

[@jasonricci]

flatted 7th's are in 7th chords/dominant 7's and both flatted 7's and flatted V's are indeed part of the blues scale in particular. there is a flatted 7th in the mixolydian mode which is major and probably other places. Here in this video we only discussing where, roots, regular 5th's and flatted 7th's are in each of these chords. Hope that helps!

[@petercollins2905]

@@jasonricci Thanks for the clarification.

[@CandidHarper]

Plus what you using to tap beat? On. Great beat going there

[@jasonricci]

Just my feet! I cant stop em! Haaa

[@TalkingPoints1]

The one chord (10:02) here reminds me of Whiskey and Women by John Lee Hooker and canned heat.

[@jasonricci]

Keep eatching I actually play that track in the video for you!!!

[@serhatozertan3636]

I just watched this video and bulb went on! Thanks Jason and here is one question, if fifth of V chord is 3 draw whole step bend wich is also 6 draw, why people dont use -6 more often???

Thank you for listening!

[@edwardmulvey7385]

too hard to understand, he aasumes we have musical knowlwdge. Talking about 5ths 7ths etc. Too hard to follow

[@jasonricci]

But wait!!! I give you the actual hole numbers TOO for each lick so you can LEARN WHERE a 5th 7th etc is ❤️... How is that an assumption❓ What more do you want? There's the hole numbers, the video and audio demo AND the scale degrees (to easily be matched to the the hole numbers by you) all for FREE! I don't get it?
