Sonny Terry/Lost John Harmonica Lesson

[@paulsheppard9469]

Such a great lesson, I imagine everyone wants to know how to play like Sonny Terry. Getting me practicing the tongue blocked 3 bend and feels so good when it starts to come together , thank you 🙏

Thanks for your explanation. I don’t hear many harp teachers talking about the soft palate. Will try it.

[@matsboll6129]

Great lesson. This is such a hypnotic sound. One hour gets nothing, while playing it. Thanks 🙏

Thank you Grant. I attended a workshop in NJ you did years ago with sponsored by the best little harp house. You were a great teacher. I also got to meet and continue to learn from the great Peter Trip Henderson. A harmonica virtuoso and all around good man.

[@thejosher33]

Thank you Grant, that was a perfect description & demonstration. I practiced it for hours and have it down! A Fantastic piece to learn. Blowing harps here in Orlando, Jesse Holliday

[@trickeyt.v96]

Is the 3 bend part also tongue blocked? Or is it played puckered then the rhythm is tongue blocked? Trying to get this down ,just confused on this part. Any info greatly appreciated 🙏

[@normanmundy2565]

Hi Grant. I love the fox chase sounds. That lesson helped me so much,been trying to get this for a while. Best lesson I’ve had. Got it after 10 minutes. Just need to polish it up. AUSOME. Warm Regards Norm. Western Australia. Subscribed 👏👏👍

[@GrantDermody]

Hi Norman! Glad to hear it helped!

[@trickeyt.v96]

Thanks you for this amazing message ! I have one question! When you do the -3bend is that played pucker then the other parts are all tongue blocked ! Again thanks for sharing your knowledge,so grateful ❤

[@Leevancrugten-om3jt]

Love the video - I normally pucker- I just can’t seem to get the bends when tongue blocking - any advice or just trial and error?

[@howlinhoward]

Hahaha this is exactly how I use these kinds of tunes. At the last gig, the guitar player broke three strings at various times, so it's good to have more than one...

[@GrantDermody]

exactly!

[@norfolknwhey4787]

Do you use the 2 draw for the rhythmic pattern or the 3 blow?

[@jobbible6338]

Why only tongue blocking?
