[@KerinGedge]

Glad to hear it! Well done!

[@tonniebaumeister]

I also play harmonica. It is remarkable that when you turn the Italian flag 90% you get the Iranian flag. And there this song is popular in the struggle against dictatorship. Just as it was in the past in Italy. I love songs with a story and with emotions!

[@KerinGedge]

Hey, this is a very hard song... I've been trying to figure out how to teach it...

Bella Ciao una Mattina mi son svegliato o bella ciao bella a ciao...

[@KerinGedge]

It's a beautiful song!

[@farnazg]

my blues harp is in the key of B and it sounds a little different ! I mean not the sound but the tone is also different. can I play it with that?

[@KerinGedge]

Yes, turn the volume down and follow the arrows!

[@upscstudie]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KerinGedge]

Thanks for watching:)

[@fadiyousiffy]

I'm new to harmonica and mine is also in the key of c but it hasn't the exact sound of yours , may I ask why?

[@KerinGedge]

How many holes does yours have? Also mine is done with a midi controller, I don't make videos with real harmonica because it takes too long

[@seaman5561]

i think phrase 2 can be played the same as phrase 1 because they're basically the same? is it so or we still have to do it this way?

[@KerinGedge]

I think it depends on if someone is singing along with you... the extra beat in phrase two accounts for the lyrics.

[@faisaly5328]

I have c device and getting different tone when following these instructions

[@KerinGedge]

how many holes does it have?

[@Neeraj_453]

Which company's harmonica is best for a beginner ?

[@KerinGedge]

not sure about "best" but I'm a big fan of Hohner

[@PaddyHackettYoutube]

Can you do house of the rising sun on 24 tab tremolo?

[@KerinGedge]

Working on it now... probably won't upload it before the weekend though!

@@KerinGedge oh that's not house of the rising sun

[@KerinGedge]

Sorry I thought you were one of my Bello Ciao requests, we'll get there eventually

[@vigilaguilera9711]

Do you now any tips for a 42 or a48 hole hermanica

[@KerinGedge]

Do you mean tremolo? I have videos for that! Except what might call a 48 holes harmonica I would call a Tremolo harmonica with 24 holes... you treat the holes on top of and below each other as if they were one hole

[@karen2781]

Could u please do this on a 24A harmonica

[@KerinGedge]

Don't worry, it's coming soon!

[@karen2781]

Happy to hear that!! :)

Hello please where do you complete the song

[@KerinGedge]

Hey, this is all I have done I'm afraid

[@ayisha2259]

What is the brand name of this harmonica

[@KerinGedge]

The harmonica picture is a Hohner Marine Band, but the audio is a simulated sound of the same type created on Logic Pro.

[@topchefoframen1378]

Could u pls do it in tremelo harmonica

[@KerinGedge]

Yep, I'm working on it!

[@topchefoframen1378]

Thx :)

[@KerinGedge]

Here's my first tremolo lesson for this song, there will be another soon kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OkaGeiqJqChpo

Thank you sir :)

When I start with 5 I lose confidence it takes for ever.😒

[@KerinGedge]

If you keep practicing you'll get it.. but I bet after a year you've managed to master it by now?

[@megan_sun]

My harmonica has 10 holes but the sound is not the same😢

[@KerinGedge]

It's probably in a different key. Try turning the volume down and following the arrows!

But why mine have 13 place?

[@KerinGedge]

Do you mean 13 holes?

[@thibault8619]

the key of the harmonica kind a matter if you wanna play the song corectly

[@KerinGedge]

depends on your definition of "correctly".. remember this is Tune Basics not Tune Masterclass ;)

[@funtimeartistica5630]

It didn't work, it's not the same sound :(

[@KerinGedge]

Turn the volume down and follow the arrows

[@Hana-bw7vk]

My harmonica is without numbers i feel its more difficult to me😭

[@KerinGedge]

Just pretend it does! The lowest note is one,the onen next to that is two and so on! After a while you'll get the hang of it:) What kind of songs would you like to learn?

[@SATYAMSINGH-oj1or]

God have special place for you in heaven.

The fifth part seems off tune rest all is really good

[@brambrg]

Don't think this is the key in C

[@KerinGedge]

The song or the harmonica?

[@brambrg]

@@KerinGedge it sounds like a harmonica in the key of G

[@KerinGedge]

Interesting, definitely in the key of c! The same song plays in the same key on all of my instruments

[@johannesarvag6723]

@@KerinGedge it sounds much darker

[@ahmedaldawoodi3063]

I have a harmonica with ten holes. Class C. But the sound is completely different.

[@organicculture5897]

Fake audio... You are playing it on electronic keboard instrument and think that we all are fool here

[@KerinGedge]

Um, so what? Of course it's fake audio. I have a day job, I don't have time to make videos using a real harmonica. There's no conspiracy here. The tabs however are accurate and most of my subscribers aren't here to nit pick
