I seriously cant begin to explain how nice it is to see such a happy person who loves life so much teach such a beautiful instrument. You exude such wonderful and inspiring passion. You are an inspiration to us all. Your personality is truly a gift from the universe! The millions of lives that you touch are motivated to not only live life as happily and calmly as you do but to continue to play the harmonica and stay positive and optimistic! Thank you for all of the work you have put in! You are a great human and role model! Thanks again!

[@Harmonicacom]

Wow, Chace. I just got out of a 3-day meditation retreat and your comment really gave me the energy to keep sharing the good vibes.

[@Omar92Canada]

[@mrdesperate1]

Dude, that is incredible! You are awesome I hope you've stuck with it and been making some progress in your harping!

[@norman-gregory]

Hi Omar...hopefully you're going well with your Harp. Kindness from Australia. Cheers.

[@rodneyhenson]

Okay, I took the plunge and bought a C Harmonica and have been watching your videos! I'm not sure who is more "entertaining" in you videos, you JP or your many students who are all so focused and fun to watch as you teach. I think I'm going to move to Hawaii!! Anyway, wanted to say thank you so much for your Toodle-Ta lessons. My goal is to play some Bob Dylan solo stuff while performing and you inspired me. Thanks JP!

[@bakerqazz]

more of those blues rift plz : ) ! thx im learning because of you

[@TheCharleseye]

On the second line, -1 2 -2 -2 feels better than -1 2 3 3 (if that makes sense). Granted, the two draw is trickier than the three blow but once I got it down, it made this much smoother for me to play. Just my 2¢. Thanks for the lesson.

[@captainjosh6200]

Thanks alot ..I got it right from Nigeria

[@Martyn0001]

Great teacher. Thanks.

[@domingocuellar4060]

thanks for this video. very patience teacher

[@melissaburgess5390]

This is the best explanation I have ever heard! You are amazing! I am a beginner, was very confused by everyone that tried to teach me that technique, so I just played the numbers. You don't have the tabs to Hank, Jr.'s song The Blues Man, do you? I have tried so hard to find it and still coming up empty handed. Keep up the posts!

[@Darren-D.C-Cross]

Fantastic lesson.Great teacher! Awesome.Muchos Gracias!

this is great, Thanks.

[@TheAndikrueger]

Thx, helpful lesson!

[@xWestCityx]

thank you very very much :D

[@gracetsai104]

Ur awesome!

[@simondwong8036]

HI. Thank you so much for posting this. I really enjoy it. I have a question and I am hoping you can answer. The "Toodle" has two syllables, and you can clearly hear that when you play "Toodle" with the inflection change. So my question is when you are blowing into the harmonica for toddle, how are you properly blowing to get the right sound? I hope my question makes sense, if not I can try again, Thanks!

[@TheNotoriousVandal]

hey there, a long time I had the same problem, and the key to your question is probably: Bending! If you don't know what it is or how its done, just search for tutorials and with this youre really gettin into blues harp

[@gaboruiz12]

epic! thx !

[@cristianagarcia7424]

awsome

[@debojitdebroy6651]

Sir plz give lessons for 24 hole double reed harmonika.

[@phillipmanship343]

Im having confusion on your -ta toodlle -ta in correlation with -4 4 -4 3. I read the tab as draw, blow, draw blow and if im not mistaken you're saying draw, blow, blow, draw

[@klebermariano7605]

Very good class! I have a question about the second line. Do you present us the sequence -1, 2, 3, 3 in which case could you use the sequence -1, 2, -2, -2? Thank you very much in advance. Hugs from Brazil.

[@Harmonicacom]

Yes, correct. You could always substitute 3 for -2 and vice versa. Thanks for watching!

[@Ivy_1057]

Thank you for this nice explanation. I am a beginner. This -Ta Toodle -Ta helps me with the rhythm. I have a problem with that. Already’ve got a metronome, but don’t know how to use it. How should i set it for this particular lesson?

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey Inessa - start at 60 BPM, and if it has any other kind of settings, choose quarter notes, and 4/4 time. See how that feels. Hope that helps! Aloha, Luke

[@Nanik_Krist]

Hi sir, for TA -TODDLE-TA which one we blow them? Thank you

[@foryomother]

dope

[@skipperdelcara5910]

What harmonica are you using?

[@azmildman]

Uh, kind of an important point here, after the first minute or so, the camera cut of the top the screen so we couldn't see what you were pointed at, which made your pointing nothing but distracting.

[@geraldjoe]

what is the function of the number? great video btw :)

[@GaryHess]

The hole number on a 10 hole harmonica.

[@piousgold5207]

nice work bro please i dont understand what u mean by the numbers in d video. can u pls elaborate

[@monroeyork7610]

How do u do -ta toodle -ta

[@melissaburgess5390]

Does ANYONE have the tabs to Hank Williams, Jr.'s song "Blues Man"? I can't find them anywhere and am so frustrated. I am few months into the instrument and am ready for that song!

[@romanis6660]

Why is it that almost all harmonica teachers are so secretive about what key harmonica they are demonstrating in?

[@markdorie4345]

repeat after me owah tagoo siam

[@GreenGuyMan2]

oh what a goose i am

[@clapdrix72]

Why does this tool keep putting all his groupies in his lessons? (rhetorical question)

[@clapdrix72]

Nice try McTrollerson but I'm not taking the bait...I stand by my initial statement :)

[@scottt3100]

Why not? Lol. Trollstoy actually thought you were angry. Hah! Well, toodle loo.

[@xhaffox]

I couldnt understand -Ta toodle Ta on which numbers?

[@melvind1343]

Why does my -2 choke when I do it.. any tips please

[@chelij92]

i dont understand what note(1-10) you play the ta toodle ta

[@derose2026]

I started messing around and I think it's 1-3 at the same time. Breath in then out twice and in again

[@elfrank333]

-1-2 (same time) ta 1 2 1 2 same time toodle -1-2 (same time) ta

[@douwevenema3748]
