How To Play Blues Harmonica - Absolute Beginner | Day 1

I'm a guitar player playing fingerpicking blues guitar for awhile, I just got a harp I gave a friend back over a year ago since they didn't play it an now that it's back in my hands an I've already had a interest in playing an messed around on before ima trust you an I feel you are right because so far he's the only one I've learned something from an I'm getting the hang of it.

It’s 2 in the morning, I have class tomorrow, I’m naked sitting on the back porch and no clue where my harmonica is rn. Imma blame it all on this guy :P

[@thewisemanwalks]

My husband... Where do I start. Being retired, he's been trying to find something to do to fill his hours of "him time". God save us all, he's found music. He's tried trumpet. That found it's way into the trash one day. He bought a violin that "fell behind a cabinet and is currently still "missing". Then he some friends gave him their Marlboro codes and he got a harmonica through the mail las week... I nearly drove it up his ass with my foot last week until I came across this tutorial. I sat him down in front of the laptop with that horrible noise maker of his. Well, it's a week later now. He's no maestro, but then again, his playing is far better than something that sounds like a cat with it's nuts in a vice, so thank you very much for the video! His playing sounds allot better and he continues to improve daily. Good job! :)

The best sign of a great music teacher, is when the person cant help but have a good time while teaching you. I picked up most of what he was teaching before the video was over just playing along, if this rate continues ill be able to make believe I’m an actual musician in no time 😂 😂

Alright so how are you getting on with your harmonica playing

[@vicval001]

Adam, I have had my blues harp for 25 years and played it briefly at the start. Coincidentally, it is a Hohner in 'C'. I hung.on to it because I knew one day I would pick it up again. Now, at the age of 61, you have inspired me to get started. Thanks for starting me on this journey.

[@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726]

You're welcome!

[@greggusan]

Ha your comment made me chuckle. Bought my hohner C harp in 88. Then about 4 or 5 other keys. And played all of them rarely and badly off and on for a while an gave up. Then realized that youtube could probably provide the teacher I always wished I had!

[@kishascape]

@@greggusan ain't nothing wrong with playing badly long as your having fun. That's why people in the wild west had them in the 1800s.

So how did that go? You dabble for a few weeks and forget about it or are you quite competent now?

I was just about to write this, I’m 61 and the last time I picked up my harp was about 25 year ago

Thank for this. I honestly just want to play some music from “Cowboy Bebop” just for myself. I got a harmonica as a gift but it has no letters or numbers. I did learn from this video and have a direction and how to go from here. Thank you

That is my reason to bud

Lmao been rewatching it and I have had a harmonica for years that I had never tried to learn so I figured why not learn it!

[@zeyface6366]

For me it was the Travelers song from Outer Wilds

Holy crap it's my people Lmao Cowboy Bebop inspired me to get a harmonica and the first song I learned was Travellers from Outer Wilds.

My dad was a master with his guitar and Harmonica at c the same time. I'm the only onenof his kids that plays more than 1 instrument... my beloved Daddy passed before I could get to learning this one. I will be playing it at his services in 3 weeks. Thank you for the assist here. You are a fantastic teacher. It would thrill my dad to no end to see me learn this. Thank you

I've read that Hitler tried to ban the harmonica because he thought it was low class. Then he learned that about 90% of harmonicas in the world are made in Germany, and he meekly retreated from the idea.

Was already subscribed to you as a newer harp player, but this video is without a doubt the best "first" lesson of any instrument I've ever learned. Teach the student just enough to get them feeling music and having some fun, without overwhelming them. Also, students now probably have on average much lower attention span vs 30 yrs ago, and this fits that very well. Looking forward to this adventure!

I happened on your channel, because my Granddaughters have been playing around with a harmonica someone gave them. They were so excited and enthused after watching your lesson. Thank you so much. My dad could play honky tonk on the harmonica and piano. He taught himself, couldn't read music but had an ear for it.. He was a country boy brought up on a farm in Cleburne Texas. Listening to you brought back memories of my dad playing his harmonica 😊

[@CarlosSansores-i6p]

something that I noticed when I just opened my harmonica a day ago (a C one too), is that if I blow from 1-6 I'm gonna have a low note, and if I draw air I'll have a higher not, but is the opposite with the 7-10 (if I blow, is a high note, if I draw, it's a low note). Is there a technique to practice or memorize this in a easy way? I have zero technical knowledge regarding music, but I'm a self-learner and I always wanted to learn how to play harmonica

[@lucasaimar6427]

Thanks, A lot. It's a great way to bring such beautiful sound to us beginners. I've had mine forever. And it's going to sound silly but the worst thing and why I moved apart from the sound I love, and the feeling I got while playing with my harmonica, the worst thing was of how I placed my lips. And I blamed myself saying I lacked rhythm, lacked what it was needed. Even though I enjoyed the Blues so much, I left the awesomeness to the pros. Then I grew up, I mean I was 8 when my mom gave it to me, and guess what, for Christmas. I always enjoyed picking it up from whichever drawer it was in, recalling how it used to drive airport security nuts: "the boy, the boy! Get the kid, he's got something", damn right I had my Bluesband Hohner International with me, 'cause it was my precious. Even though I couldn't play it, in the hands (and lips) of pros, it made a heavenly sound that moved my soul. I just found it again! At 36 years of age I decided I couldn't leave it for later anymore. No more, I'm too busy, I don't have the time. I don't need others to tell me how good I make it sound, well maybe later if I'm not too old, but right now I only need to let myself remember how much I enjoyed it as a kid. And how good it feels to hear "her" again. Thanks again, guess I'll watch all your videos, but after I feel The Blues.

Hey Brotha, With all these comments, I know you won't even see this... but I just have to say, I watched this video and went straight to the music store and bought a Horner Special 20 in C. Then I bought your lesson package... That was yesterday... I'm now on day 1 of your course and I can't believe I'm already making progress. This is such a gift and I'm so inspired. Thank you Brotha. I'm a veteran of 2 wars... this is medicine for the soul and I'm so grateful. You put this all together as a business because it's your passion. Now it's mine too... Keep rockin in the free world🤙
