Excellent tutorial. I wish I had seen it five years ago. I have tremoloes in three formats: this one ("Asian"), Richter, and Solo tuned. Each has its advantages. Solo tuned is the most straightforward layout. Richter has the I and V chords for self-accompaniment on traditional tunes. But this Asian layout has a complete scale in the low octave and gives a warm rich tone not available on the middle octave or on a Richter. It's the reason I'm drawn to it. It's also the hardest to master for several reasons. Thanks for putting it up.

Edit: I have a question at the end for you! I've had a C tremolo harmonica since I was very young, it was a gift from my mums school friend. I only ever messed around with it, and with quarantine, I thought it was the perfect time to learn how to play it. I only just figured out today what type of harmonica it even was today, because I was looking into harmonicas and the only examples were diatonic and chromatic and I was like- I don't think mine's either! I don't know how to play a single instrument and can't read sheet music, so I guess I'll just practice as if I was learning how to run without knowing how to stand up! One step at a time, I suppose... - How do you blow into an individual hole, wouldn't you blow in or breathe in groups of them together? And also, how do you read the notes?
@darkespeon644 жыл бұрын
i think you AND i should start out with a more simpler harmonica with single holes of 10 i kiiiiinda learned how to play it assuming mine was one and it seems much easier and that's coming from someone with music background even the sheets are easier to read

Blowing into an Individual hole is something you need to practice first. It's important to get a feeling for your harmonica and the positions of the holes
@KerinGedge3 жыл бұрын
For this type of harmonica you treat the holes that are on top of and below each other as one hole... you would only breathe in through a single hole on a tremolo if you were trying to bend a note, which can be quite difficult on a tremolo. In any case I made a video about blowing into single holes a while back kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKnScmeQhZqlmq8

This was very helpful. For a while now, i've only been playing to my favorite songs by ear. But i can pnly go so far if i dont even know how to read the notes or at least memorize the notes on my tremolo harmonica. Currently using my partner's tremolo and i use it more often than my diatonic since i couldn't play "Doris Day's Dream a little dream of me" from a diatonic since i can't bend my notes yet this is why I prefer the tremolo. Im saving up for a chromatic too, hopefully by next year after i've learnt more of the basics from your channel. I'd really like to one day play my favorote jazz sheets from a chromatic or tremolo harp. So im excited. :) Also... your tutorial is very helpful. Especially for beginners, other tutorials head straight into bending which i still haven't i've barely done.

The hardest part for beginner is that the note is not order at a normal sequence, I think the proper way to recognize the note instead of memory the number about the hole to play a song. If you want to become a better performer.
@KerinGedge3 жыл бұрын
The way the notes are arranged on harmonica is very important and absolutely crucial for the instrument. 1. it allows you to be able to blow into the neighbouring holes without it sounding bad because the notes harmonise together... 2. The order allows you to be able to play the same song on different harmonicas in exactly the same way... the hole numbers will be different but the blows will still be blows and the breathes will still be breathes no matter what type of harmonica you play. If it wasn't this way, if the numbers were in sequence like they are on a piano then the harmonica would only be possible as a single note at a time instrument, it wouldn't even be called a harmonica because there would be no "harmony", also for every song you wanted to play you would have to learn how to play it all over again if you decided to try a different type of harmonica.

Mr. Kevin Gedge, I am a harmonica beginner and my grandfather gave me one of his harmonicas (it was a 20 hole harmonica), and I wanted to ask, is it the same for 20 hole harmonicas? I've been wanting to find a note chart for 20 hole harmonicas but unfortunately I couldn't find any.. If you could help me, I would greatly appreciate it, sir!

Do u blow into each double hole on top and bottom. Example C blow only and breath out bottom hole of c
@KerinGedge3 жыл бұрын
No you treat the top hole and the bottom hole as if they were one hole... the only time you would breath into a single hole on a tremolo, that I know of, is when you want to try bending one.. but that's pretty tricky!

@KerinGedge Жыл бұрын
Hi Jack, sorry it took me this long to get back to you, but the numbering you are describing is pretty simple. When you see this sort of numbering, it's your harmonicas way of telling you the order of the scale. So if your harmonica is in the key of C all of the "1" holes would be the note "C".... all of the "2" holes would be the note "D", 3 = E, 4 = F and so on. You can still follow the numbers/tabs that I have set out in my videos, just ignore the numbers that are etched into your harmonica when doing so.

Para explicar la técnica en síntesis es que tú vas tocando de celdas en pares dos de arriba Los de abajo por lo tanto son cuatrinas. En el mismo tono igualarlo con las tablaturas que se usan con las armónicas bluseras . Qué nos lleva que por ejemplo la posición 6 de la blusera es igual a la seis de la trémolo.

In my tremolo, there is no continuously increasing numbers from 1 to 24 instead it has 5,2,1,4,3,6,5,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,7,3,2,5,4,1,6,3,7............are these both ways equivalent?.....Please help me understand.
@KerinGedge3 жыл бұрын
Don't let it confuse you, the numbers in my video are still relevant, except the makers of your harmonica are being clever.... the 1's = C, the 2's =D, 3=E, 4=F, 5 = G, 6 = A, 7 = B - assuming your harmonica is in the key of C... if your harmonica was in a different key, for example G, then 1 would be G, 2 would be A, 3 would be B etc etc

In a typical scale you have 8 notes. Octave means 8. The 8th note in the scale is the same note as the first note but 8 notes, or an octave, higher.

@KerinGedge10 ай бұрын
It's either not possible or really hard to do with one tremolo... to play a song that requires sharps and flats you generally need to have a second harmonica that's either raised or lowered a semitone in key so that you can use that one for the extra notes.
