Harmonica Scales For Beginners (While Learning to Play Something Cool)

[@euniceis70]

thank you so much. brilliant. Ive just bought a harmonica to learn something new in lockdown .never thought at age 79 i,d be able to play a little tune. You are such a good teacher.

[@Harmonicacom]

79 years young and still learning new tricks! Way to go! Thank you for your kind words.

[@dustydirect1]

Definitely worth all the sweat! You put in! I appreciate what you’ve done here. I didn’t know why every time I played I was getting no sound in my 5 hole on the draw, so hearing your reference pitch I could tell something wasn’t right. So I took the thing apart and fiddle with the metal tabs on the inside and they were rust shut on some of them and Misbent on others, so after some adjustments I can now play “in the jungle”!! Props my brother!! And I applaud you too, Eunice! Your abilities are astounding!!! Keep up the good play!!!

[@Jabbsy27]

I teach special education as a career, I just want to say how much I admire your teaching skills! You are clearly understanding, concerned about the whole student (me in this case!) and patient. You deliver all of this SO WELL. Thanks for making these. I'm learning to make better use of my idle time, but this brought me added joy because you are obviously passionate about life and people.

[@Harmonicacom]

Aw right on Rachel. thanks so much for this note. I've been involved in assisting people with disabilities in my life and it was both rewarding and challenging. God bless you for what you are doing! Glad the vids are helping. Rock on! 🤘🏼

[@guloguloguy]

Thanks, Luke, for this nice beginning lesson. I'd like to know more about the "relationship" of the "primary key" (=> "CMaj chord"), and the ("G7" ="Dominant 7 chord"), and then what is "First position" vs "Second position" vs "Third position"??!!....

hey Luke, first of all thank you for teaching us (I never imagined I can play any musical instrument ever) and you are awesome tutor too! So, I just wanna ask how did you do that jump on the "In the jungle" first line from 4 Blow to 4 Drow?

[@billyost7683]

Awesome beginning lesson, Luke. I really liked the fact that you gave a very basic lesson and turned it into a song immediately. I have to ask... Is JP still playing? I haven't seen him in quite awhile.

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey Bill - cool. Thanks. Yes, JP is still shredding the harp like the badass that he is. But he’s letting me do some vids for Harmonica.com now.

[@billyost7683]

@@Harmonicacom Glad to hear he's still harpin' (and not like my wife does). I worked with him and Jason (if he's still there) on the Breakthrough Blues and Jam-Along programs a little. Hope the chance comes along to help out again. That was a blast. Give them my best. Keep up the great lessons!

[@rhmtoo]

Maybe you ain't doin' it right bro.. I been learnin' from Luke for almost two years now. I just watched it at 4:20 with my GrandGuys and they loved it! Luke's videos have inspired me to learn how to blow harp in a way I never imagined possible... Maybe try again? 😂

[@ecalzo]

Hey Luke .. Sorry for the many question .. !!! it is normal for a beginner to have a sort of feelings on the lip where you put and slide the armonica? I'm practicing every day.. maybe a hour .. and i notice some feelings to my lips .. not pain not bad feelings but some i will call "scrub". .. that's normal... anyway .. i'mm beginning to be able to isolate notes .. thanks to you ,,,

[@Harmonicacom]

Ask away, my friend. Congrats on beginning to be able to isolate notes! Yes, that's normal to have the lips feel a little chaffed after playing for an hour. Depending on the harmonica you're playing, some are more comfy on the lips than others. Plastic combs are more comfortable than wooden combs. Cover plates that hide the reed plates completely are more comfortable than ones that have the reed plates a little exposed. If you're interested in considering purchasing a different harmonica, here is my article about brands: www.harmonica.com/which-harmonica-to-buy/

[@ecalzo]

@@Harmonicacom Yes , thank you so much.. already read it .. the Lee Oskar is lost into the postal service .. i got a Hohner Blues Harp that seems to me at least better than the Fender.. unfortunately it was the only one i could get at my local store .. dammit ..

My harmonica makes a dog squeaker toy type sound on the 4 or 5 draw. Is that normal?

Hard to say for sure if it's technique or harmonica. What brand and how old is your harmonica?

This was very helpful. what i was attempting felt like the deep end of a pool compared to this

Right on Jonathan. Slow and steady wins the race!

[@rebeccamoehring]

WHY IS U WORKING FOR THIS CHANNEL AND NOT YOUR OWN???

[@Harmonicacom]

Rebecca - because Harmonica.com is the bomb dot com. I hadn’t put up a video in like 2 years, lol, so thanks to them for persuading me to start making vids again!

[@contagious_noob3651]

Man I picked up a harmonica and tried to learn blues off the bat and I had to take a step back and think how did you learn sax ahh yes scales

[@Harmonicacom]

Yep, first things first! www.harmonica.com/how-to-play-the-harmonica/

[@brettallenwong]

Why are all the blows lower than draws until you hit 7 and then it flips? How do harmonicas work for that to be the case?

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey Brett - great question! Harmonicas are tuned this way so that we can get a C major chord when we blow, and then a G7 chord when we draw holes 1-6. There are LOTS of alternate tunings that are becoming more and more popular. If you're interested in exploring them, you can check out this forum thread: forum.harmonica.com/t/different-tuning-harmonicas/5989?u=luke A lot of the alternate tunings still have this switch between holes 6 and 7, but not all of them. It's just something we have to get used to. Hope that helps. Rock on, Luke

[@brettallenwong]

@@Harmonicacom Thank you for replying! That was really informative and I appreciate you taking the time to help me out :)

[@rebeccamoehring]

LOL i just noticed that "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is from "The Lion King"

[@shivasirons6159]

2:20. When you say we,re in first position, whats that mean?

Nope. That was an accident too.

NOPE. You don't need to be able to read music in order to play the harmonica! This is part of the philosophy of my Beginner to Boss course: www.harmonica.com/lessons/

[@rippi37]

I taught myself to play 'Oh When The Saints...' decades ago. It took such a long time memorising it all. I've recently found it again , and watching your video made it all make sense !! That's what the numbers are for ...lol.......Thank you's x the truckload !

[@Harmonicacom]

That's awesome!

[@tombankes-jones964]

What’s 1st position? Don’t understand positions.

[@Harmonicacom]

Positions are confusing at the beginning and take time to understand. But the gist of it is: 1st position means using a C harmonica to play a song in the key of C. 2nd position means using a C harmonica to play a song in the key of G. The root chord for 1st position is 123 (or blowing anywhere on the harmonica) and the root chord for 2nd position is -234 (but -1 is also in the chord.) To get a little more insight on 1st vs 2nd positions, click here. You can also hear the difference here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGPEoJ6Gbayln6s

[@MYVOICE1232]

Is it diatonic??

[@Harmonicacom]

Jayakiran - yes, diatonic!

[@twelvemeister]

4 and 5 are smooth but when i get to 6 it gets harder to get a clean note and 7 really hard . is that just how it is or is my cheap harp not helping

[@Harmonicacom]

Everybody struggles with high notes, ESPECIALLY at the beginning.👌🏼 -7, -8 are the most frequent ones that REALLY trip people up, but anything above 6 can prove problematic! Remember to be patient with yourself. This may take some time... These are the tips for a getting good clean high notes. 1.) Let gravity lower your jaw so that it's totally relaxed and in a nice "aw" vowel shape, your teeth should be far apart from each other 2.) Keep the back of your tongue down, like it is when you yawn. Make sure it's not in the "Kk" zone (how your tongue is when you say a "Kk" consonant.) 3.) Nice steady, GENTLE, airflow. Most beginners (and many intermediate and advanced players) use WAY to much pressure. Hope that helps! 😎 Aloha, Luke

[@twelvemeister]

Hi I started to learn to play tremolo harmonica since just last month but I plan to buy maybe just an easttop T800k model. I just request maybe if you can put in the titles the lesson number so that for example a beginner like me could trace the chronological order of what video should I watch first then so on. But it is okay if my request will not be granted I will still continue watching repeatedly your videos because it is very entertaining to watch and very informative. God bless your channel.

Hey bro big sweater here too lol (end of the video) awesome teacher 37 now played guitar started when I was 13 kinda took seriously for couple years then girls happened lol. But never was able to get as serious as I'd like to be due to the fact I've had arthritis from a young age so can only play for tops 1 hour then just couldn't , Would just be frustrated and even the next day my wrist would be inflamed and very stiff, then a my grandfather passed about 3 months ago not covid just old age any way he had a tremelo harmonica and then started messing around just bought and has arrived my first real Horner's key C Harp .so basically just thank you Really getting obsessed with blues and no arthritis pain playing harp thanks again. Greg

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey Greg - thanks for the note, man. Yeah, actually I started on guitar as well, I started playing harmonica around 16 or 17, but then got really serious with it after getting repetitive stress syndrome in my left index finger (from over-practicing) which prevented me from being able to play guitar. There's something magical about instruments that are played with the breath, I think. Rock on, my friend!

Never knew how easy it can be to learn how to play the harmonica. I will be starting when I get my set of harmonicas tomorrow. I've "tinkered" with a couple of them before. But, have never had my own to play. Am just going to be playing for fun and to have something to do with some of my spare time when I'm not in the mood to paint, do needlecrafts, etc. Also, I'm a 52 YO lady who loves doing many different crafts. And, I've often wanted to learn how to play the harmonica. Specially the theme song to "The Walton's" because I always loved watching that series as a child. Is there any way you could make a video on how to play that theme song. I'd appreciate it so much if you can. Keep your videos coming for us all, please. And, thank you so much for this one. It has made me unafraid to "pick up" and add a new talent to my repertoire. 😉

Wow, that’s so great to hear, Curtrice! I’ve thought about doing videos of TV themes, I’ll add the Walton’s theme onto the possible list ;-

Does this work with a G harmonica?

Awesome Bruce - thanks for the note!

Its so hard to bend notes. Play major notes is so easy for us in indonesia coz the same as our tremolo harmonica

[@Harmonicacom]

Yes, bending isn’t a beginner technique. That’s why I’m dealing here with the part of the harmonica where you can play the major scale without bending.
