I'm a USMC veteran, and I've been having some mental health issues due to tinnitus, focus has been an issue. This inspires me to learn to play the music to the soundtrack of my life. Mahalo

Absolutely fantastic

[@CamiloJamesGuitar]

Love this so much my friend, am very glad I stumbled upon your channel 🎶

[@williamthelast1]

Harmonica is so small !!! But it gives so strong émotions, the instrument of angels coming to us. (Thanks Eurythmics ...)

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

Lol! It's not a small harmonica, it's actually a chunky chromatic. It's pretty heavy and solidly built.

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

Wow brother! Now I’m gonna have to dive into chromatic! Sounds awesome

[@cggambill]

You are spot on!!!

[@NiekaSystems]

Magnifique!!!

[@phatman3573]

Hi Pat! I'd like to personally thank you for putting together of this 'Stevie Solo Series'. I know this takes a lot of work to get all this together. I have purchased all 10 of these and working on mastering all 10 of these ( hopefully in a few months.) My 2 personal favorites are ' Just The Way You Are ' and 'There Must Be An Angel '. I play these 2 everyday and I do like 'I Feel For You'. ( It's the only clip that requires at least a 14-hole chromatic. All others can be played with a 12-hole chromatic). I know that there are many great chromatic harmonica players out there but in my book, Stevie Wonder is the greatest!

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Thankyou, glad you are finding it useful. Would love to hear them when you have them down, feel free to use the backing track and make your own video!

[@alexlysyj924]

@@thesteviesoloseries3598 I can give it a try, if I can have your email.

[@hiroshimatsuzawa7937]

Super!!

[@chrisdepino7423]

So good 👍

[@philippeadnot3270]

Really cool… well done guy..!

[@ettorekun]

Great! I’m waiting for All blues (live at the last) Spain (live at the last) (Should be for both the concert in London) And the solo of “fragile” with Sting

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Thanks! This is the last in the mini series, 10 solos and some incidental choices throw in!

[@harmonikaph2037]

FRAGILE solo with Sting please ❤

[@dhanimcca411]

HERMOSO

[@DeltaBluesGuitarLessons]

Very nice Pat I just bought one of your transcriptions, is there some type of Key which explains the TAB.

[@moabmoron8607]

🎶🥺💔😢😭

[@ejo6225]

Great job as always Pat! Don’t keep us waiting for more videos. How about ‘A little more time with you’ by James Taylor next? Keep it up

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Glad you’re enjoying them, and that one is a belter!! Unfortunately the series has come to a close, but all 10 solos featured are available from my website PatLevett.com

[@da33ie]

The suzuki scx48 in C. Will that be capable of playing every note in this tune? And is that the one your using in the vid? Cheers

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Yes that’s going to be a good choice. I’m using the Suzuki G48 here.

[@williamelias3706]

please help me out as i just got the forerunner 2.0 chromatic in c and it doesn't sound like this. i cant produce those sounds the same even tho you said its in the c key. what is my problem?

[@sammyflores6607]

Man, thats great! What key harmonica is it ?

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

It’s a chromatic harmonica in C

[@wizardaka]

I know you must get asked this on every video, but could you recommend a reasonable budget harp which has the range to cover the songs you show please? Really want to start learning this and would love a recommendation to know I'd be getting something suitable

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Sure, a Suzuki SCX 48 is a great harp to start on, key of C - Good luck!

[@Ezekiel_the_roach]

Yeah I bought a SCX 64 and it works great. A little big, but at least I get practice with heavier reeds.

[@isaiahbishop3323]

can you do a tutorial on “love me in a special way”

[@thesteviesoloseries3598]

Thanks for the request but the series is now completed, however private lessons are available

[@us254761]

Please forgive me, as I am easily confused. The second note of the first measure is tabbed 5+. On my harmonica, that is a D. The sheet music shows a C#. Where am I going wrong?

[@allzoutproductions4440]

Was wondering why I couldn't play it because my harmonica doesn't have that piece. Mine is cheap that one sounds way better.

[@bu88en46]

what does the () mean??
