[@AdamWestUS]

[@gmsf7221]

Wow this is an old one, thanks j keep rockin.

[@ruthweisbergphilly6961]

You had me at Tubean Princess. I'm so there.

[@jasonricci]

Haaaaa!

[@ukukachoo]

Brilliant

[@brettsbluesharp]

Great lesson Jason. Blowing through a 12 bar progression has got to be one of the best things for new players to learn, yet so many overlook it! And listening to you play fast is always poetry in motion man.

[@jasonmills2638]

My Bb must be broken can't get it to sound like that, lol. Thanxs man, awesome lesson, very clear steps, down to earth and what can be achieved from the harp. Great inspiration, keeps me motivated and keep'n it real. Cheers from New Zealand.

[@donaleen]

I really like your harmonica videos a lot. You are a great teacher. Thank you.

[@ikust007]

Splendide !

[@jasonricci]

Thanks for watching and being so dedicated !!! Sorry about your problem, It's probably your internet connection or your computer...I think my videos may be slightly larger in size due to their leangth, I use macs so I never have a problem with anything.

[@chriskraska]

I really haven't felt that there were that many lessons I could follow but I have you say you're instructional style is excellent and simple enough for me to follow along and feel like I'm acutally making progress. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos and share your amazing talent.

Jason - I saw Midori about 20 years ago - what was she, 14 at the time? Awesome - I think I had a seizure. And you thought you played fast :) :). Speaking of fiddles, I'd love to hear you do a duet with Mark O'Conner sometime!!

[@AdamWestUS]

Danity the "tube-do list" didn't catch on😔

[@jasonricci]

😆 🤣 😂

[@iandonald1523]

Straight up one of the most useful harp tutorials on the net. Thanks man, you rock.

[@pamalacrabtree1727]

Magnificent video.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@catmanbluz]

Thanks for the reply. I don't think that it is the connection, because I just listened to "advanced bending'' with no problems but this one still has problems. Same problem with Adam's.thanks

[@OmniphonProductions]

This video came at a perfect time for me. My solos have been feeling stale (at least to me) and I've been trying to get out of the rut. I've been working on breaking my formulaic habits by stripping the solos down to just the "root" components, milking a few notes rather than playing them all. Between this and a recent video by Ronnie Shellist, I have plenty to keep in mind as I pursue that goal. Thanks again, Jason!

[@AraguaJam]

Really really great lesson! What u just explained is something so important to know for any blues harp player. Im gonna take it as a daily task on my harmonica practicing. Thank u for ur lessons, you r really helping a lot players with them!

[@jasonricci]

Thank you very much Keep coming back remeber we got the seminar in OCT.

[@jasonricci]

Thanks Brett thats very very nice! You rule man!

[@bmwhite21212121]

Jason, when are you gonna come down to the Dallas area?

[@gmsf7221]

Just a comment to bump the feed. X😊

[@heathercornwall172]

I know this is Random did you ever play at the Blues Boquet

[@jasonricci]

Not random! All the time had a residency there for a couple years... three nights a week with Keith Brown and then returned to play there with my band for a few years after till they close. LOVED that place! Did we meet? ❤️

[@yamama2833]

Splendid. Thank you Ricci.

[@bluesdart]

you kick ass!! Loved your concert

[@Electrified00]

No one has stolen your tube do list so far

[@soldelunas]

I have a 14 holes Marine Band M. Hohner harmonica and I am trying to learn how to play it. So far we are getting along fine me and the harmonica, but it is very hard for me to find helping tips for this kind of harmonica, could you recomend any, and thank you very much.

[@blongjohnson2595]

Thank so much man! I always wanted to find this out but never knew how to put in a question lol. your videos rule!! SKATE AND DESTROY!!!

[@tnysteph]

It was good, your improv. I do not know how you play so fast. I am still learning so maybe in time I will get there on the speed. Thanks for the post.

[@jasonricci]

This one was Equal temperment (stock GM tuning) Thank you

[@jasonricci]

Thank you sir!

[@jimmy59ca2001]

thanks Jason, that was great

[@jasonricci]

Thanks man...I like all things fast slow intellectual soulful...sometimes one better suits a maood if I played slow and simple ALL the time I wouldn't feel it as deeply. You rock for the comment and thanks for all the kind words! J

[@jasonricci]

Thanks You rock for being normal and cool and Meow meow back.

[@xraylax]

now youve done it broke my damn jaw trying to do this as fast as you one day maybe

[@jasonricci]

Hey KypHem...Yeah I'll be in NY on Sepy. 13th I'm missing Midori the famous violinist... to do the gig...shes playing here in Nashville on that weekend...Sucks..But I'll be there and in good spirits..you might as well come to my show since you'll be missing Midori as well...See you there! And Thank YOU!!! J

[@jasonricci]

Tha ks for watching Found it

[@jasonricci]

No there just kind of differant names for the same kinda sound...blues harp could be any kind of harp style as long as its blues based and cross harp is a particular way of playing blues harp also called 2nd position.

[@Tomlateralus3]

hey J, i think there's one of your neighbors spying on you from the window jaja, i think he/ she likes it! and so do us, thanks for the awesome lesson man!

[@alexmc69]

It's just so fucking exciting when you start to play fast!

[@Ledvolta]

thanks for this.

[@jasonricci]

Thanks Krizem...remember I have seminars as well...Next one is Oct.19-21st in Denver check jasonriccidotcom Thanks for the kudos.

[@jasonricci]

Thanks M...unfortunatly I wont make Jon's camp in Irvine regretably but tell jon I said Hi! J

[@leenewman9637]

Hmmmm blow or draw on 5. Outstanding videos by the way I get paid wed so I will definitely be donating harp on brother.

[@svendhausted8037]

Hej Mr. Jason danish Happy guy ❤ Svend😊

[@jasonricci]

💜❤️💜

[@tnysteph]

Great video. I am trying to understand the I IV V. A little hard for me. I do not know the 1st thing about music theory. Thanks for all that you do. I will keep after the I IV V, maybe it will click soon.

[@jasonricci]

I'm not sure but definitly in the next 6 months keep checking the site jasonriccidotcom for tour updates thanks! J

[@pix9]

intervalli toonikan ja subdominantin välillä on kvartti ja käänteisenä kvintti?

[@jasonricci]

Thanks anyway Krizem i'm working on OZ...Maybe you can help ? j

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

if you have time, could you put up the tab for this? I do realise that you must be extremely busy, but it would help us learners considerably

[@jasonricci]

Cool! i'm jelous I would be scared to play with Mark O'Conner...I really more than anything wantt to see Nadja Sonnenberg but she's taking some time off this year...maybe next year...

[@belletain20]

Any plans to come through Minnesota?

[@cc21cc21]

Damn, You make it seem so easy. If i can't figure out how to make this thing sing with all your great vids I'm an ass. MEOW!!

[@mfoley59]

jason, thanks for that lesson. It gave me new and relatively simple way to structure my playing. I tend to be all over the place. Can't wait to get home to practice. Are you going to be at Gindick's camp in Irvine?

[@belletain20]

Thanks for your work on these lessons. Between you and Adam I've made great progress. Do you ever get up to Minnesota?

[@KxTz1]

i have a hearing harmonica i mean thats what it says..it doesnt sound like urs...can u help me to find the right one...i relly want to p`lay =)

[@KonstantinReinfeld]

Thnaks for uploading!...Is your Golden Melody tuned Temparated, Compromised or Equal? Your friend Konstantin

[@Helmut83]

Congratulations, your videos are great! Very useful. But why don't you use more common keys of harmonicas, such as C or A, instead of Bb or Ab? It would be much easier for everybody learning here.

[@pix9]

esimerkiksi 0.5 Hz eroa äänenkorkeudessa on hyvin hankala havaita

[@jasonricci]

Herrings are good! But try a harrison harp....

[@sarahhochschwender127]

hi Jason as stated by u here the 5 chord is a 4 draw not BLOW RIGHT??? this Pedro from kc best

[@jasonricci]

sarah hochschwender HAAAAA!

[@mathiasm12]

mkay

[@Tienuyan]

Jason, sorry if my question sounds stupid, but in the end of the video where you improvise, are you only using notes from a blue scale ? Cos i keep watching a bunch of videos showing specific notes for the blues scale in a C harmonica, ( -2, -3b, 4, -4, etc... ) but in your improv seems like a much high number of notes compared to the ones that compose a blue scale. Help! Thanks for reading

[@AdamWestUS]

That's not a stupid question! Unfortunately you may think the answer is!😅 yes he is NOT only using notes from the blues scale. Many more notea😂

[@jasonricci]

Im sorry wish I could help I never play those big boys.

[@catmanbluz]

I really can't figure out how the above emailers are able to listen to your vids? Everytime I try, you say, 4 words and pictue and sound pauses for 20 seconds, then another 3 words and it pauses 20 more seconds. It took me over 40 minutes to listen to one of your vids very frustrating.Could it be that there is so many others trying to listen to your material at the same time? But not everyone is experencing this, or are they??? Great stuff but frustrating to follow.

[@john-nx4xn]

It's not There

[@jasonricci]

Thanks for watching hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving full of love and friends! ❤️
