The harp player is the great Norton Buffalo. Nice lesson

[@gsteve8125]

Norton Buffalo did play on a couple of Doobies tunes in the later 70’s but, not this one. Tom Johnston played the harp on this song.

[@farblunjet14]

@@gsteve8125 Thanks.

[@Donfleebie1]

Play it more in its entirety. This would help grasp it easier. Chopped up like this is tuff to comprehend.

[@carlmccarty6470]

YES PLEASE!!

This solo is my ‘White Whale’ - been try’n to crack the sucker since 1973 . . . most other people’s versions are ok, though pretty straight forward, but this one is the Rubik’s Cube of solo’s . . . Oh well, looks like it’s back to the drawing board, AGAIN !!! Sorry to my neighbours Thank you for posting son, this means a lot for me

[@Learntheharmonica]

You’re very welcome Anthony, happy to be of service and I wish you the best of luck learning your ‘White Whale’! 😎

[@christyreilly3327]

As per usual, a brilliant lesson, Liam of a "hard riff for me," makes it attemptable . It would make it even easier if you could do a full play along with the fantastic graphics at the end . I generally learn by ear and to play a Longside makes it possible for me . Again, brilliant lesson, thank you.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Great suggestion! Thanks so much!

[@christyreilly3327]

I started playing in lockdown, and your lessons got me off to a great start . Your teaching methods and graphics make it easier for me. Keep up the great work.

[@5StringRob]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! It's actually simpler than I expected. Note I said simpler, not easier. I expect the challenges with this will be timing, achieving speed, and the doing it all consistently.

[@sagehopkins1]

Awesome lesson/song study Liam! Probably my favorite from you so far! Thank you!!

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@Magicrat999]

Great lesson ( tough one to play I’m thinking) and love the software & graphics. Thanks!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks, glad you liked it! 😎

A very good lesson 👍

[@lodydemelker9453]

Great lesson

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks!

[@danwilliams8695]

Well done

[@johntaylor9381]

Great lesson, as always.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks John!

[@TruckeeDwaynee]

Good luck mikkey!!

[@timmiddleton7493]

I play the last line as +3 x 6 because the feel is more percussive using diaphragm hits (releasing the build pressure, if that makes sense)

[@Learntheharmonica]

Nice!

[@markwalmsley5892]

Hey Tomlin love your videos been watching for years this tablet your is almost fail proof wish all tabs were like that

[@deepseadrumz1]

Awesome!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Cheers!

[@taki9269]

とてもわかりやすいです！

[@taki9269]

The explanation is easy to understand. Especially the slide on the right side is very easy to understand.Thank a lot!　From Japan.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Glad it helped!

[@ronnyf8871]

Hi Liam, can you do the song Lonely Shepherd by George Zamfir? Love your lessons. Thank you

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks for the request Ronny, I'll check it out! 😎

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

Classic harp solo! I've done it once or twice with my band, but this really spells it all out; thank you! BTW, is the Special 20 your favorite harp? It sounds great, in my opinion.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks, glad you liked the video! Yeah I find the S20 is a good compromise for me - reliable, playable, but not too expensive.

[@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt]

I heard you do it with your band and you played it just like a king

[@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt]

Btw special 20 is my fav harp. Great sound, price and fits my hand and face, lips, tongue better than any others.

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

@@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt And response? Overblows? Overdraws?

[@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt]

@@dovlandzbaum5036 the Spec 20? I'm advanced but still haven't quite cracked overblows/draws (on my current to do list), so not best placed to comment. I've heard they aren't bad for it, though maybe not quite as good as Golden Melody's.

[@elviodantas]

Great lesson for a beginner. My english is not advanced. Is it possible to have interaction with you on classes? In your opinion...

[@Learntheharmonica]

In my online harmonica school students do get interaction with me. Check it out here: www.learntheharmonica.com/harmonica-courses-school-signup

[@ChromaticHarp]

It should be noted that the studio version features the incredible Norton Buffalo on harp.

[@gsteve8125]

Tom Johnston played this solo.

[@ChromaticHarp]

@@gsteve8125 You are Correct!

[@silkroad1201]

Buffalo can't play harmonica. That would be silly

[@MrSupersidewinder]

Fantastic lesson and format! What is that software called, the one that displays notes around harmonica???

[@alfredynda2488]

Music transcription

[@Sakaukayo]

I wanna learn this but I don’t got a harmonica

[@nomecognome7271]

Armonic tonalità in C?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Yes :)

[@streetracer2793]

I don't know how I ended up here

[@donaldblankenship8057]

He absolutely missed the entire theme. High speed trains ooze from the song. The Doobies pour coal into that fire box. The harmonica IS the steam locomotive. Sexy too, right? The host of the video is an amateur brick layer.
