Gold gold gold!

Hey yo white 😎🐱

[@jasonricci]

Haaaaa

[@carltakats327]

Saw your interview. Great talking about everything. With me being sober. I have 6 years now by the grace of God and the fellowship. I understand about relapsing. I did a enough of that myself before i finally got it. It feels great but its even better helping out other people. Let they say got to give it away to keep it. Have a blessed day. Love you bro

[@jasonricci]

Amen Carl!!! "WE" "WE" and "WE" right!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@peteaustin5327]

This reminded me of when I did an open Miic. And this local harp player Tall Richard said to me after a set He said son you need to calm down and stay on beat and I followed his advice and it worked out allot better. Thanks Jason for reminding me of that.

[@jasonricci]

Remind ME again later and were even!

[@benhawthorne123]

I play alone almost exclusively. I'm listening to my instrument, nothing else. I'm gonna get back to listening to your blues harp lesson. This is such a blessing, to have someone who plays like you, Jason.

[@funwithmadness]

"White"... That was hilarious! This video and your part 1 are probably two of the most important videos I've watched about playing harp. Great job!

[@andyhowe1302]

You just blown me away 😊 in a nice way 😊

[@OmniphonProductions]

10:00 - SO GOOD!!! I love the way you changed from counting quarters to eighths to sixteenths, followed by interspersing them all with each other. I find that, when you break down rhythm to its mathematical components, it makes the often-intimidating _effect_ of the technique feel immediately more _accessible._ It inspired me to start playing Mix&Match with rhythmic fractions, and that simple exercise _immediately_ upped my game...including "letting it breath" by incorporating _rests!_ GREAT LESSON!!! I've added it to Watch Later _and_ Favorites. SO GOOD!!! 12:35 - Another option for wrong notes in a solo comes from the Miles Davis school. _Commit to it!_ Sometimes the coolest thing you can do with a wrong note is stay there, _lay on it,_ and milk it for every last ounce of uncomfortable dissonance, so when you _finally_ resolve that note (or the chord resolves to _it)_, the sense of _release_ is that much more satisfying...and the audience is _tricked_ into thinking you _meant_ to hit that note all along. 16:33 - YAY!!!!! I've missed Blues Stories. For those of us who were simply born and raised in the wrong time and place, stories like these (from someone who knew and love the people in them) are the best way for _us_ to get to know them...especially when they help to reinforce the lesson of video. I'll say it again. SO GOOD!!!

[@josephsullivan1760]

Hey Jason I always play alone and end up playing every lick pretty much the same. I jumble it up and most people I don't even think notice it.But I always try and think of different notes to play but it's not easy for me. I get a lot of excellent and very eye opening things from you. Your street wise way of talking shows me that you have a ton of real life experiences to offer and lots of times i think of my own past life and ended up where i am now which is a good place.Thanks for being a special Ain't No Bullshit type of guy.

[@jasonricci]

Thank ⚜️ You for telling me that Really helped me to hear that. ❤️

[@michaelkral]

You're answering to so many questions i have in this video.. everyone should watch this everyday for a month while practicing!

[@OmniphonProductions]

AGREE 100%!!!

[@kirkgombos4078]

Great lesson J R .... Anyone can learn how to play a note or series of notes but the key is to be able to play them in a rhythm ..... It's just like when we talk we naturally say words in rhythms .... Playing harp is no different the key is developing rhythm .... Love this riff you play when your telling this story it sounds so delta blues something right out of little Walters riff book .....

[@saschaschmidt1121]

Hey wish yuh a great Earthday on 3.Feb. Jason! Thanx for the lesson & the Story, yuh ah Killa wid E-Motion! 😎

[@jasonricci]

[@vinsamson8061]

Great great lesson Jason! And some “Blues story” too. It’s my favourite one when you spent time with the Kimboroughs . And thanks Jason if it wasn’t for you being on, René and Manny’s “ Troubled Men” podcast, I wouldn’t have that wonderful thing in my life either. Keep up the great work Jason. You are doing great🤘

[@jasonricci]

Love those guys!! So glad we're here!!?

[@johanback9832]

[@jasonricci]

Beautiful ❤️!

[@olegivanov73]

Great lesson and interesting story. Thanks Jason👍🙂

[@harmonicamanrandy]

Thanks again for the great video lesson Jason. It's too bad your tour shut down.

[@rustyharp2020]

Fantastic story Mooncat! Love you brother, keep on keeping on my man! We'll catch you on the road soon enough!

[@mcclaskeyj]

You're an awesome storyteller! The wife and I were laughing hysterically at your blues story intro cut. 😆 Loved the clam recovery bit too! Will probably end up using that advice.

[@jasonricci]

Thank you ❤️! Glad to be in your living room! Check out the other Blues Stories episodes some of them are hilarious 🙂

[@iggoartetattoo3469]

Great pic. Look at that attitude

[@Voltanaut]

[@levargas3675]

Man, very nice tips for breathing. I really enjoy it. Thanks a lot. Great lesson.

[@thedyslexicharpplayer9774]

this peeks my curiosity a lot!

[@medinablack5141]

I've learned quite a bit in these two videos. I really appreciate you teaching what I've been trying to understand for years but, wasn't really sure what it was they've been answered. Thx Jason...

[@jerryguy2845]

Wow. Your last few videos have seemed exactly aimed at what I need most at this stage in my playing! Stay out out of my head 😀 NOT! Thanks Jason.

[@jasonricci]

Haaaa! That's awesome!!! Akashic resource!

[@lulushowjuly]

Musical😁😁😁‼︎

[@johnkurtyka]

Great lesson as usual. Loved the story!

[@etaborya]

Thank you Jason, really cool video! It really motivated me to practice some beatboxing stuff. I also love your using of ghost notes. I usually use ghost notes as doubled notes/chords, but I love your way of using ghost notes in line, can you make video/give advice how to practice it?

[@dorkdelacruz6340]

thanks Jason!

[@ChristianandresCervera]

Guauuuuu 1234 1234 q grande j.r el mejor the best ❤ the king of the harp rey de la armónica saludos desde Argentina jr 1234

Hey Jason happy 48th birthday.

[@Alonelybedindesert]

[@lorenzocaruso9142]

N. 1 grande

[@Alonelybedindesert]

I never use my mouth to make noise . It’s so. Cool advise to try

[@dogseverything]

Can anyone tell me the title of the song at 16:45? Thanks. @Jason Ricci: you're fantastic as always.

[@jasonricci]

From the Soul it's on the channel here! Thank you ❤️

[@dogseverything]

@@jasonricci Thank you

[@jeffboyer4204]

Yo J. Hope ur well.

[@nothankyou8365]

Not sure but your hair style reminded me of alice in wonderland :)

[@jasonricci]

Haaaa Koala's in wonderland!

[@k.rock1016]

My clock must be off !

[@jeffboyer4204]

When your exhaling on the beat box are you above the harp w your mouth. Below it. Or are you pulling it straight away?

[@jasonricci]

Anywhere really even just a 1/4 inch off it works.

[@AdvancedLawn]

Cmon man. Release it nowwww

[@jasonricci]

HAAAAAA

[@long2376]

When you say you’re playing a sea harmonica customized… What does it actually mean? I have a lot of harmonicas and I play in a band and I try and play along with some professionals like yourself, and I’m wondering if I need a special tuning to get some of the notes that you guys seem to get that I can’t even find? please confirm that I am not losing my mind and that customized Harmonicas or something that I might need

[@jasonricci]

No it's basically just a regular harmonica in the key of C that has a fancy comb and sometimes covers. Work has been done to make the reeds a bit easier to play by making them more airtight but it's essentially tuned exactly the same. More info at www.bluemoonharmonicas.com

[@patrikduller8449]

Ah too late!

[@MJDForestry]

Hi Jason, would you ever consider doing a solo acoustic album? I’d really like to hear what you’d come up with, thanks for the video!

[@jasonricci]

Like just harmonica?

[@MJDForestry]

@@jasonricci yeh, I imagine it to be just like busking, harmonica, tapping, some vocals, maybe with some percussion or something? The two players I’d most like to hear play that way are SBWII and you, what do you think?

[@jasonricci]

I think I'm flattered to be in that company!

[@warrenfloyd1484]

Btw, fuck anyone who makes fun of your hair,it's your choice, and your signiture!!!!!👍

[@simonb4689]

The first one sounds like you got COVID

[@benhawthorne123]

Rock and roll needs a legit come back. New bands, or mygeneration is fucked.
