[@radiofry]

Great stuff! Exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out. I’m trying to move past practicing scales and riffs to playing along with songs, and I needed just a little help with how to do that.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

brilliant!!

[@sagehopkins1]

Fun lesson with great suggestions Ed. Especially as I am so improvisationally challenged! I like that you name dropped Van the Man with Moondance (Van's a very decent harp player too!) The Hobo T-Shirt is awesome!! :)

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

I didn't know Van played harp!

[@bracarat]

this is exactly what i needed as a new player. i’m curious how you would add harmonica to pop/punk/emo style songs !

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

@@bracarat great! The principle of this is the same regardless of the style of music. You may want to phrase according to the style of the music. Keep the harp angry and raucous for punk :)

What is the name of your harmonica. It sounds great

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

thanks! It's a Marine Band crossover with a custom comb.

[@turkeytrac1]

Great video, but could you explain to me what is meant by "position" when playing a harmonica? And if you could maje it real easy, lol. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Comping is a real skill... Very confusing and difficult to teach... One has to jump in and FEEL it...

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]
