I absolutely love my low to harmonicas. I enjoy using them as an alternative to blend in with the rhythm section I enjoy droning with them , (generally on the root notes,) them as an alternative to blend in with the rhythm section. Jonah you have been killing it with the quanity of your content!! Love it!
Just want to personally say Thank You to Jonah. Since I’ve been playing for the past 12 months, I’ve learned so much from your videos and still always learning. As a bassist and guitarist as prime instruments, I don’t know how far I’ll get with the harmonica in comparison but the fact it’s a fun instrument to play and with your guidance has helped, I think I’ll always find it fun and rewarding when I can play songs. To me, you’re up their with the likes of Will Wilde and Steve Baker, of being a phenomenal player and teacher alike.
Thank you for this video, Mr. Fox. I truly appreciate all the information. ESPECIALLY the tutorials. I am a super beginner, and I'll practice for hours following your lead. Thank you so much.
I find that the Rocket from low c on up is responsive enough that it's easy to play normally with quick single notes. I find this range sounds better when playing unaccompanied compared to the regular non-low harps. I enjoy noodling on them much more than my regular harps. I can see why the regular ones are generally preferred when playing with a band, but I'd highly recommend a low d rocket to anyone for playing alone. The rockets start to have their reeds hit the cover plate at low c. So I wouldn't recommend them lower than that. The low c is really nice and responsive and just takes a bit of care on the lowest notes to avoid clipping. I find the rocket more responsive than the crossover and definitely more so than the 1847, although both of those sound gorgeous. So if you want to play in the same styles you normally do, the rocket low is highly recommended. The other two lend themselves more to chugging and chords. Of course with enough skill anything is possible. But for the rest of us the 1847s reeds have a momentum about them that makes quick note changes difficult. The reeds take a bit of time to get vibrating. But it sure sounds amazing.
Those lower harmonicas sounded like my brain was being coated in rich dark chocolate. Pretty cool to learn about these things. I’m also a guitar player, but I’m just a songwriter, not a “real musician”. Thanks, TH-cam, for the one good recommendation! 😂
Am a relatively new harpist the difference in the low harp. Is they require more air. The high harps require less air. The higher the note the less air required but the more pressure. When I say pressure I don’t mean blow harder I mean make a smaller chamber in your mouth

I have a dabell low d that sounds really good. I personally love these low tuned harps, Sonny boy Williamson 2 loved them as well
Cool I didn't know they made them. I'll have to check one out sometime, I really like the Dabell harps.
@HarmonicaRevolution yea it's the Dabell story model specifically
Whoa thanks for this upload and the cool tabs Jonah! I will try them later tonight
Cool, good luck! These were pretty complicated, didn't even realize until I started tabbing them out
@@HarmonicaRevolution in deed they are!!
I appreciate your lessons.
I love the sound of a low harmonica especially my Hohner Special 20 low D harmonica

Hello ; What Is the best harmonica for the Santana music
Am a relatively new harpist the difference in the low harp. Is they require more air. The high harps require less air. The higher the note the less air required but the more pressure. When I say pressure I don’t mean blow harder I mean make a smaller chamber in your mouth
Maybe it’s because I have an easier time reading standard music notation than tablature but what does the “>” mean?
@@StarQueenEstrella bend scoop. To be fair, I didn’t include a key.
I like looping with my lows then soloing with my regular harmonicas.
D,F,G,A,C is D minor pentagon i liked more. Same scale I tried on A & G harmonica -4,-5,6,-6,7 I liked more i don't know why 😢
