The Reedplate Podcast Episode 3 - Tongue Blocking Chords, Harmonica Fundamentals with Joe Filisko

I continue my deep dive into the fundamentals of playing the harmonica with Chicago’s own Joe Filisko. In this episode we pick up the conversation as we delve into the third fundamental - Chords and Tongue Blocking - the sometimes overlooked space found between chords and single notes.

I could listen to you two all day....

Hi Lee , These Podcasts you are doing with Joe are brilliant. I’ve been playing harmonica now for about 5 years now. Before that I messed about with it when I was 11 but I didn’t play blues I didn’t know what they were at the time as I had heard my dad playing what we called mouth organ then this would be in early 60s . Any way I don’t want to waffle on too much as it would end up like a book 😂😂 but I have followed a lot of your excellent videos I have learned a great deal from you Lee and now I toungue block 95 percent of the time. It’s like you say the sound and tone is much better and you don’t need any other players with you . Thanks so much for your wisdom 👍

[@barbalooie]

Absolute awakening- how great you guys are as players and teachers blows me away-can't wait for the next class

[@leesankeygroup]

Wonderful feedback Al, appreciated. Episode 4 is live now. And it's a monster. Lee

[@wealllame]

I like this learned alot it gave me a new perspective and respect for more chordal playing. Spend to much time doing single notes

[@natevance5832]

I’ll be sharing this everywhere I can. Thanks so much guys. This is MY RADIO during the day and this fresh content is amazing. For many reasons. Thanks lee for creating this for us and thanks joe for taking time to spread the word!

[@leesankeygroup]

Thanks Nate, I'm flattered by your enthusiasm for what we are doing. If you have time it would be helpful if you could rate the pod and write a review on Apple Podcasts if you listen there. Cheers, Lee

[@natevance5832]

[@bluesvillestation]

This is just fantastic listening. Thank You both Lee and Joe for taking the time to drop all these nuggets. Cheers!

[@leesankeygroup]

Our pleasure, thanks for listening. The next episode should be a bumper one. Lee

[@ronsale163]

Such a wealth of knowledge here. You need to listen carefully and imagine yourself emulating what is being told or demonstrated. If you try doing it you might miss some of the words. Better still listen to it once then listen again, trying it for yourself. This is excellent stuff.

[@leesankeygroup]

Thanks for listening and posting your kind comments. Glad you are enjoying and playing along! Great stuff.

[@ronsale163]

@@leesankeygroup The pleasure's all mine Lee. You and Joe are excellent teachers!
