Dana Green thanks and hello from London ! Always great to get some feedback. Ed

[@johnhensley220]

This is a great groove, tb with 3 blow is a perfect option..

[@dirtworshiper2800]

Always look forward to your vids. You have helped me a ton. Thanks for all you've shared.

Can’t breathe playing this! 😮🤷🏼‍♂️😱

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

it gets easier!

[@Crushbandicoot-wv8xb]

Start smoking it’ll help

[@randys7258]

Nice explanation! Thanks!

[@kitshrapnel8548]

The lower keys seem to be overlooked, I think, and I agree they are a richer and bendable, loving the loud hailer.

[@sneekerstattoo]

Very good teacher,cheers.

Hey just came across this video. Fantastic! You mentioned that you’d share a playlist of different versions of the fox chase. I’d really appreciate the link.

LOVE it .....

[@Blue_3rd]

Hi, Ed. When you play that little 3 hole bend in the riff (when you play it fast) are you still tongue blocking or do you purse the bend? I am struggling to TB it - it makes sense and gives economy of movement - but it’s a tricky one. Cheers!

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

I'm TBing pretty much everything but it does take some practice with the bending for sure. Try doing a few slow bend exercises with TB daily for a couple of minutes. Choose your favourite harp and be patient- it will slowly improve!

[@Blue_3rd]

@@TheHarmonicaBarge Thanks👍 Edit: It worked! What a difference playing with TB, it feels natural now and has helped a lot with my blues playing too, the sound is so satisfying 😎. Cheers, Ed.

[@N2Yeshua777]

Can ya cover the basics on pucker single notes , I've seen the different techniques but I can't seem to master any of them , I can play single notes but not a perfect each time . help plz

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

hello there, I cover this extensively in my beginners course. harmonicabarge-shop.sellfy.store/p/folk-and-blues-course-level-1/ cheers Ed

[@roughhouserosie]

Thanks for this! Have to ask where you got that shirt too?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

You’re welcome! It was a gift from a friend- not sure where he got it from!

[@DannyTheIrishSwede]

Is this a cross harp lesson? In other words, for this particular lesson, if I'm playing this fox chase on a G-tuned harp, would my guitar need to be playing in the key of D?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

yes that's right :)

[@DannyTheIrishSwede]

@@TheHarmonicaBarge thank you my good man 🙂

[@anthonytaylor1965]

Hi Ed is the tongue blocking using the 3 blow better for air equilibrium? Best Wishes Tony

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

yes exactly but you could substitute for 2 draw for a slightly different feel too :)

[@KevinWise-ns1xd]

How do you get rid of excess breath stuck inside lungs whilst doing fox chase?

[@Skinkie22]

I am a beginner but I think the -123 sucks can be just in the mouth and not via the lungs. Also with the 2 draw you can get extra air out via nose.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

yes you have to really use those outbreaths to sneak some air out! also the longer you do it the easier it gets , but don't pass out :)

[@kittokittokoshiki8978]

I haven't played in a while (not like I was good anyways)

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

Can this be puckered as well?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

yep, just use a 2 draw instead of the 3 blow- it creates a different vibe

[@lindseyvillamor4924]

What brand harmonica do you use

[@silkroad1201]

Hohner (probably)

[@nathanzorndorf8214]

How do you avoid running out of breath on this groove?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Good question, technically we breathe in more than out on a fox chase so often we can fill up more. Are you sure you’re not filling up ? 😊

[@musik102]

Just purchased the in depth lesson and I am disappointed with the lack of tab demonstrating the variations/fill ins etc. You certainly haven't gone the extra mile.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Hello there, Thanks ever so much for your comment. The In Depth Lesson features Tab for each lick? Please email me at [e-mail] so I can help you. It's much better to contact me directly and we can always make progress :) all the best, Ed
