This Should Be Everyone's First Blues Harmonica Lesson

► FREE Blues Harmonica Foundations Course foxly.link/p5ugYk
► FREE Tab PDF foxly.link/3SdA9f
Whether you are a harmonica beginner or someone who has been playing for a little while you must learn how to play a train rhythm.
At the beginning we tend to play too hard which leads to running out of breath quickly, sounding nasty and struggling to play all the cool techniques we want to.
Playing a train rhythm every day for a minute will show you how to breathe well with the instrument and fix all these problems.

What a talented instructor you are! I happened upon your video, and you've inspired me to take up the harmonica, and watch your videos to learn how to play it. I can't wait to experience the joy. Thank you.

[@SkylarReport]

Man just bought my first harmonica today and everything you said is happening to me 😅 wet mouth yak 😂 it’s getting better though

[@martinwebb3394]

Great lesson Tomlin - just what I needed. I thought learning to play would be easy - it's not (for me anyway 😂) but now I realise it will take time. Every beginner problem you have mentioned applies to me but I'm going to give it a go and do this every day for a month. I just need to accept to learn to walk (or crawl in my case) before I try running 👍

[@jaycaw9081]

I leant this by accident while playing guitar and harp, nice to see the true technical break down and the articulation of the sound. I only have a chromatic and A/e²nd until my special C arrives next week then I'm on this. It's too hard on an A harp practicing technique like this and you can play along

[@MaxineMcGill-b6x]

Love your easy to follow tuition video. Thankyou

[@alessandrorigobello7551]

Hi I’m a Tomlin from the UK as well. Just picked up the Harmonica so looking forward to your lessons.

[@westriverrockhound4405]

Thank you so much! I am going to try these.

[@gordonmiller1690]

Excellent advice as always - thank you!

[@CalvinLimSH-ld5le]

Thanks for sharing how to play the train rhythm harmonica draw and blow exercises for beginners to improve their breathing playing techniques.

[@TomlinHarmonica]

You're very welcome!

[@VangeliRock]

Exactly what I needed. I finally can something that's recognizable

[@Andrés-u1u]

Very good, pretty good way of explaining and teaching. Sincerely!

[@paulcook7888]

Thanks for the video This was some very useful information ❤

[@TomlinHarmonica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikelvaz6110]

Thank you, Tomlin.

[@chrisbarley7463]

I was thinking about trying to learn blues harp again, my dear friend and actual neighbour picked you up in his cab in Edinburgh the other day. I better give it a go, I lost my harps in a fire. I’m playing guitar in d and g mostly, what harps do I need? Quite the coincidence I thought. Kind regards Chris

[@MichaelThomas-o7v]

Thank you Tomlin great explaining teaching....

[@markingham4773]

[@Normalhowaboutyou]

Great video

[@UJ00UJ]

Very nice tutorial 👍

[@real-h1739]

Sheeesh I sound better already thanks 👍👍

[@MrSpanky2001]

Not as easy as it sounds. I've been working on the train rhythm several months as a warm-up. Not happy with it yet, but I can tell I'm progressing.

[@davidarchuleta8446]

Excellent tutorial .

[@rozallez]

What key is the one your playing on. Great sound!!👈😎

[@TomlinHarmonica]

Hiya, it's a C harmonica :-)

[@rozallez]

@@TomlinHarmonica Then I bam heading to guitar center for a C - harp 👈😎

[@beverlymidkiff1026]

Love your videos! They encourage me in thinking that one day I may be able to play despite my senior learning curve :) I have question for anyone affiliated with the school, or any veteran subscribers. Today I received a Hohner Special 20, C major ($50). The harmonica I have to compare it to is a Fender Blues Deluxe ($16). So far the blow sounds are the same. But the edges on the front end of the Hohner do not seem to be finished well. I feels like I could rip my lip if I’m not careful. Question: is this just how they are, or should I bother to return it for another? Any input appreciated!

[@TomlinHarmonica]

Hiya, It shouldn't be that rough. They are cheap instruments but they shouldn't feel that cheap.

[@XxKidnoffxX]

I love trains

[@krisalan5327]

Is this the only practice we are to do for the first month ?

[@TomlinHarmonica]

You can definitely practice other stuff but if you only have time to do one thing this is the one thing to do. If you have more time check out my FREE 4 Week Blues Harmonica Foundation eCourse tomlinharmonicaschool.com/p/4-week-foundation

[@rockintigger]

Hi Tomlin, after all that salivating how about a video on how to clean your harp from all that spittle an breakfast crums 🤭

[@benclaase8181]

Just play the harmonica in the shower and play “ i am singing in the rain” . No conditioner though!

[@rockintigger]

@ 🤭😅🤣

[@arupsengupta-fy2sw]

My left hand is totally paralyzed after a severe brain stroke: can I still learn to play this instrument? What's suitable for me?

[@TomlinHarmonica]

Absolutely! You can play with your right hand or you can use a rack around your neck :-)

[@arupsengupta-fy2sw]

@TomlinHarmonica thanks a tonne dear! Should I begin with a C 10 bole diatonic one? 🙏 Namaskaar

[@james9789]

When i was younger i thought you only blew through harmonicas , didn't realise there was a draw ,now that i know this im still rubbish.

[@tmcgrenere]

finally!

[@DrPritchett]

…and of course this is why we all picked up a harmonica in the first place. I use it as an ice breaker!

[@TomlinHarmonica]

Amen!

[@darrelltalbott4830]

One of those days when the weather is blazing hot

[@manuelgonzales6483]

😮🎉

[@joannadickerson9189]

Just because you don’t like the sound of playing hard, doesn’t mean it’s a bad or thin and nasty sound. Actually that is a common sound in rhythm and blues music. It’s all part of the flexibility of the instrument. Get some culture dude.

[@hollyhutton2463]

Omg SHUT UUUUUP

[@TheRageEffect]

Thanks!
