The Wellerman (Played in 5 ways on a G- and C-harp) - Harmonica (+Tabs)

[@evilzombie]

I am SO happy you have paddy harp tabs for this, you are awesome sir

[@harmonicafun]

It's really not so hard to transpose regular harp tabs to Paddy Richter, you should go for it 😉

[@govel85]

Thanky is beatiful, I use paddy Easttop in B, sounds great. Please more tab paddy ritcher !!!! Regards . I write from Mexico !!!!

[@harmonicafun]

That's great! You should give Shady Grove a try: kzbin.infoScm4pRgWGzg?feature=share

@@harmonicafun thank you . If you need mexican music tell me!!

[@1seesaw2]

I like that song!!! Great playing Bernd!!

[@harmonicafun]

Thanks a lot, Sarge!

[@thorstenrose1318]

Geil gemacht Bernd👍👍👍

[@harmonicafun]

Danke! Bei dem Lied würde ich tatsächlich mal Paddy Richter vollends empfehlen fürs Tongue Blocking.

[@michaelcarlisle5403]

Excellent played and funny. I have the Hohner comet, the echo not quite the same. Will learn from you.

[@harmonicafun]

I have one Comet too but I don't use it quite often. Mine is second-hand and smells 😐

[@arturbezerra4528]

That was awesome! Congrats!

[@harmonicafun]

Thank you!

[@fulviovalsecchi3420]

Molto bravo !!! ❤

[@karlheinzwagner4445]

Ich bin platt und faßt Sprachlos. Ich bin schwer beeindruckt. Echt klasse mit dem Wechsel den du so ohne Unterbrechung zeigst👍

[@harmonicafun]

Dankeschön! Aber in Wirklichkeit stecken da oft mehrere Anläufe hinter, in denen es nicht immer ganz reibungslos klappt 🙂 Kann man aber auch üben.

[@patrikduller8449]

Sehr schön! :)

[@harmonicafun]

Vielen Dank 🙂

[@cyounesful]

Waouhhh, I love it!! ❤

[@Chill1332]

Hey! My mom has an Echo. This was great! Not to be all Hipster but I loved sea shanties even before they were cool. Such a fun and adventury sound in this one.

[@harmonicafun]

Thanks a lot for your nice comment 🤠

Cool thanks for the lesson.

You're welcome 🙂

[@Reeldin58]

Hi Bernd, number two is my favourite. I don't have a paddy tuned harmonica but I do have an Echo Harp so I'll give that one a try. It does look like hard work though.

[@harmonicafun]

👍 My favourite is the vocal part *hugh*

[@geoffc376]

Amazing!

[@harmonicafun]

Thank you!

[@aronq8617]

Awesome video! Hoe do you do tongue blocking?

[@harmonicafun]

I once made a video about that topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfUoKBvjdh2ha8si=bjLgNIArmWRqhjUt

[@weltsauerstoff]

Joj, bin ich erschrocken! Ansonsten hat Thorsten alles gesagt, wat zu sagen ist.

[@harmonicafun]

Das freut mich! Ich hab extra nochmal meine spärlichen Echofähigkeiten für deine Zielgruppe bemüht 🥴

[@weltsauerstoff]

@@harmonicafun Ich habe mal probiert, wie das mit einer Mollmundharmonika funzt. Diese Shanties sind manchmal eher dorisch als wirklich in Moll (z. B. What shall we do …), da wird’s dann mitunter fummelig, aber der Wellerman(n) passt. 😎️

[@cyounesful]

Plz plz, this is to complicated for me, I am a beginner! So plz tell me which notes I have to follow? I have a C Diatonic Harmonica. Thank you for your help.

[@harmonicafun]

You should use these notes, I play them on a C harmonica at 0:46 in the video: 8 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8. 8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -8 -9 -10 -10 8 8. 8 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 7 7 -7 -6... -10.. -10. -9 9 9 8 8. 8 -9 -8 -8 8 -9 -10 8 8.. -10.. -10 -9 -9 9 9 8 8 8 -9 -8 7 -7 -6...

[@عبدالرحمن-ذ9خ1ت]

Fantastic video 🤩, i'd really like to know what type of harmonica is that cuz i am planning for buying one

[@harmonicafun]

Thank you! I played with Hohner Special 20s in the key of C and G. And in the end with a Hohner Echo harp, which is a tremolo harmonica. The part with the tongue rhythm was played with a Lee Oskar in Paddy Richter Tuning. I think they don't sell them in this tuning, a friend gave me the advice to buy a Lee Oskar in the key of C in standard Richter tuning and one in Melody Maker tuning in the key of C. Then I switched the upper reed plates, so now I've got a Paddy Richter Tuning harp and a Country tuning harp. You buy two Lee Oskars and get the possibility to have 4 different tunings (Richter, Melody Maker, Country and Paddy Richter). I hope that helps 🙂

[@عبدالرحمن-ذ9خ1ت]

@@harmonicafun thank you so much🙏

[@uwechristian945]

Absolut nice 👍

[@harmonicafun]

Thank you!

[@robinkhalawan3564]

Fantastic sound Bernd!! Love it all. Did you get the Hohner Echo Harp recently?

[@harmonicafun]

No, two years ago I bought some different second-hand harmonicas (octav, tremolo and chromatic) on eBay classifieds to get to know these types. The Echo Harp is my favourite among them.

[@dumpmercury7329]

Can I play this song with Hohner Big River Harp? C

[@harmonicafun]

Yes, but only on the high octave when you don't want to bend notes. The tabs for it are in the video description.

[@samirachdi3607]

Alléluia for you

[@kaibecker5247]

Hallo Bernd, dass ist ja echt der Wahnsinn. Einfach genial wie du das spielst. Kann ich mit der Paddy Richter eigentlich auch alle anderen Lieder von denen es Tabs gibt spielen. Überlege nämlich, ob ich mir eine kaufe. Lieben Dank Kai

[@harmonicafun]

Danke Kai 😀 Ja, mit Paddy Richter kannst du alle Tabs nachspielen und hast auch keine Probleme mit dem tiefen A bei der C-Dur-Mundharmonika, kannst also den 3er-Bend 3'' einfach durch 3 pusten spielen. Für das Melodiespiel demnach ideal, aber nicht so gut von den Akkorden her, da ja kein fröhlicher C-Dur-Akkord kommt, sondern ein verdrehter CEA-Mollakkord. Der Zungenschlagrhyrhmus hört sich dann anders an.

[@kaibecker5247]

@@harmonicafun Vielen lieben Dank für die schnelle Antwort, dann werde ich mir mal eine bestellen. Ich bin Anfänger, bin eigentlich nur bei Einzeltönen. Bis ich Akkorde spiele vergeht bestimmt noch sehr viel Zeit. Hier in unsrer Gegend gibt es auch leider keine Musikschule die zur Mundharmonika was anbietet, muss also leider durch ständiges probieren selbst lernen. Aber deine Videos sind schon eine sehr gute Hilfe. Vielen Dank.

[@harmonicafun]

@@kaibecker5247 Kein Problem! Ich habe auch erst nach 3 Jahren mit dem Tongueblocking angefangen und eigentlich auch immer alle Melodien, wo man eine Paddy Richter bräuchte gemieden 🤔

[@StevDeS]

Would you be willing to record a singular track for a Wellerman Parody I wrote? It’s for a livestream I watch on Saturdays and it’s about their “Comma Club” which is comprised of several very generous souls who dropped $1000 donations on stream several times before

[@harmonicafun]

I could do that, no problem, but I don't know if it would sound good with just vocals and a harmonica, playing the same notes like the vocals. An accompaniment would be better. You should go and try to sing to one of the upper versions first and if you're still interested, then just respond.

[@FreeavalonUrbanHomestead-gh5ob]

Hi Bernd Could right out the tabs for a hohner special 20 in g. I am a bit confused

[@harmonicafun]

Well, I played these tabs with my G-harp in the video: 8 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8. 8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -8 -9 -10 -10 8 8. 8 -6 -6 -6 7 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 7 7 -7 -6... -10.. -10. -9 9 9 8 8. 8 -9 -8 -8 8 -9 -10 8 8.. -10.. -10 -9 -9 9 9 8 8 8 -9 -8 7 -7 -6...

[@dominiquegagnon5264]

I practice this song with a B flat harmonica , should I switch to a G ?

[@harmonicafun]

G would be a little lower. Just pick the harmonica that sounds Ok for you.

[@chase2d235]

how do you do tongue rymthems

[@harmonicafun]

Here is a tutorial from me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfUoKBvjdh2ha8si=w54i2A3zdxyBI1fd

[@theruski8265]

How do you do the tongue rhythm? Are you tongue fluttering or slapping the notes

[@harmonicafun]

I don't know the clear definition for tongue fluttering but I make a mix of tongue slaps and tongue lifts depending on the situation.

[@harmonicafun]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfUoKBvjdh2ha8 That's a link to my tutorial.

[@ThomasMifsudBonnici]

what does 5 dot mean?

[@harmonicafun]

The dot after the 5 or the two dots after the 3 should mean, that the note is played longer than the other notes. It's not easy to show the duration of the notes with these tabs, but I thought the dots could be a good way.
