I picked up my kids and always thought of them as kind of a novelty. Although I'm a blues lover I never considered even attempting the harmonica and I'm actually pretty surprised because I'm so cheap. I started drawing because it was one of the cheapest hobbies. Also it can be taken anywhere = practice anywhere

Thank You! The tip about breathing is exactly what I needed to hear today. I tried it as soon as you said it--it worked beautifully! I couldn't manage to learn French horn as a child because of asthma. Now that I'm 71 and just started learning to play harmonica, I was recently diagnosed with a recurrence of asthma and possible pulmonary artery hypertension. My first visit since the CT scan with the pulmonologist, is in an hour and a half. Now I will be able to explain it better to the doctor.

I just bought my first harmonica, a Special 20 in D, a week ago. I have 25 years of experience playing blues guitar, so this was a bucket list thing for me. I also have some experience playing sax, so I'd say I had a leg up on most beginners. Still, I honestly had never put a harmonica that didn't cost more than a few dollars in my mouth until a week ago. Following the tips on this channel, I'm already rocking some sweet sweaty blues riffs! A couple tips I have for a newbie are: CHAPSTICK. I chapped my lips SO badly the first day. Second, buy a Hohner Special 20 in either A, C, or D. You will eventually want to get all 3 of these, as these are the harps used in 98% of all blues songs. Keep on thiev'n steven

Yes hello my name is Mark. I am from North Olmsted Ohio. I got my golden Melanie G harmonica ! And I'm a beginner and I want to know can I also follow your instructions because I've heard so many other people say you need to start with a c and you need to use this kind of harmonica and you're a beginner and this might not be right for you; but I'm comfortable with it and much so even more now that I've watched a couple of your videos for the simple fact the breathing was a very important. is not to blow about just to breathe through your mouth in to inhale through your mouth without blowing or pulling is my understanding! which it makes it more comfortable for me since I tried it with you on the video. And I want to say thank you and I'll be sticking around for some time. I got a long way to go - Lil 🇺🇸

Hi Liam, great video, yep breathing is the way to go! can I ask a quick question please? I've got a big river in C, I fancy a special 20. What keys would you recommended next after a C?
@Learntheharmonica
@Learntheharmonica 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching and for your question. I'd recommend getting an A harmonica - it has a nice low range. Then perhaps a D or an F. Both common keys and higher harps so you'll get a sense of how the higher registers sound. Hope this helps! Cheers, Liam P.S. Almost all my lessons are on a C but some are on others so do keep an eye out for these.

After watching and reading the Moomins for a while, I've been inspired to begin learning the harmonica. I only have 50 cents right now, which I'm spending on a book, but once I save up money I want to buy a few offline. Anybody have any links to good ones, and not just beginners? Probably a beginners, one that really anyone could use and a more advanced one. Right now all I have is an old harmonica from the grandmother thats falling apart.

My grandma has a flute and harmonica, I believe my grandpa found it, he used to find things at parks or at his jobs, and he would bring them back (miss him haha) and so my he would give them to my grandma and she would keep them. I always saw it but never was interested in instruments until now, I have started learning new instruments, I'm learning guitar, I taught myself how to play kalimba, don't know much about piano but still know the notes and everything and I am in band doing percussion. I currently thought of playing the harmonica because I know no one else will grab it and try to learn and I don't want it to continue getting old without being touched, and I wanna surprise my mom in a few years, we have a spanish rock band we like and theres a certain song that we both like and it has a harmonica in it, I wanna learn it and sort of surprise her with it one day lol

Sorry for the abrupt question, is it true that the least shrill note has to be on the left of the harmonica, & that harmonica has to be held in your left thumb and index finger..!?
@Learntheharmonica
@Learntheharmonica 6 жыл бұрын
Most people hold the harmonica with their left hand with the low notes on the left, as you described. That said, I know know people who hold it differently, and I suppose I can't argue with them if it works for them.

I only just found my granddads harmonica and I have no clue how those things work. All I know is that I love the sound, and it looks really cool. Also I can't read notes because I'm only a roadie of a rockband and not a musician myself (yet). How can I find out what sound it produces if I didn't even know some harmonicas produce different tones?
