It was a great pleasure to learn those tricks, especially sugar blue's section. My mother got a CD from his wife and I made a copy. I love it and the story of sugar blue coming on stage during a concert in Paris. Thank You ! Philippe from FRANCE
Wow Luke, what a great gift this lesson is! Thank you. Reminding me of the harp in a lot of the Stones songs inspired me to start learning them. Thanks again.
Lots of fun playing around to warm up. This is the way to warm up! The hard part for me is slowing down! Discipline, discipline.... (I had the Live Stones" album in 1971 and was playing along with it then as a 19-year-old)!
Yep. And watching the songs being played, some are played at eighth notes, sixteenth notes, even carrying on for two full count notes. Very varied, but that's what makes playing to The Stones is so cool. These songs being played on a C harp can be played the exact same way as on a C chromatic harmonica. I prefer using a Tenor C chromatic. On a standard C chromatic, those two high notes, 11 & 12 are terrible to hear. But with a C chromatic harmonica, you won't ever get that. Even a Low C harmonica like on a Hohner, Seydel, Suzuki, or even a Lee Oskar is the best option, IMO.
Wow, du bist ein unglaublicher Trainer. Ich liebe deinen Kanal. Spiele selbst chromatic harmonica, aber man lernt niemals aus. Viele Grüße und vielen vielen lieben Dank 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
I learned the Miss You tune from your page and then listened to the original recording. I found that if I adapt what I learned to a G harp for the intro and then switch to D for the solo it sounds to my ears closer to the recording.
Hi Luke ! Really good video ! I started on the harmonica a few months ago. About Sweet Virginia, I tried with my harmonica key of A, and I think your tabs sounds better with this one. What do you think ?
Satisfaction sounded like 3rd position with your backing track, but it really is in 2nd. In the original the riff starts on the fifth in the key and goes up to the flat seven.
Yes & No. This question doesn't have a quick answer. Yes: Playing 3rd position on a C harp means you're playing in the key of D, and most often it's D minor (though it is possible to play in D major, which people usually call "3rd position major.") So 3rd pos is often used to play on a minor tune - like a C harp for D minor. No: When you're playing in 2nd pos in the key of G, the V chord is D, so 3rd pos licks sound great in this context, but they don't actually "take you into another key." Hope that helps more than it hurts lol!
Thanks for the reply . My interpretation of your answer in simple form is that in second position you can go to to third position but only for a specific note that also exists in the key of the second position
Great lesson, thanks! Any chance you could give us your thoughts/ info on Gimme Shelter? I know it’s really only 2 notes but there’s lots of debate on the key used. It would be great if you could do a lesson! 😃
You're welcome. It's my pleasure, Elliot! Ya I think I mentioned that in Level 4 cos it's a similar riff to what he plays on the live version of Midnight Rambler from Maddison Square Garden 1969. Here's an excerpt from my website on the subject: I could listen to that riff all day, and in fact the -2” bend is also at the heart of what Mick Jagger is playing around 2:00 into Gimme Shelter on the version from the 1969 album Let It Bleed. He’s playing it on an F# harmonica. -2” -2 -2 -2 -2 -2” -2 -2 -2 -2” -2 -2 -2 www.harmonica.com/rolling-stones-riffs-the-5-levels/
Hey Luke! I have some questions. Have you ever tried Hohner's Silverstar Harmonica? I bought it as a beginner, but I think that I can't bend on it. Do you know its bendability? Also, what do you think about Harley Benton harmonicas? I see they're quite cheap and I read some good reviews.
Hey I'm so sorry I'm not familiar with either of those harmonicas. But if you wanna make sure your bending difficulties are not gear-related, I'd save up for a Special 20 or Lee Oskar as those are the easiest to bend in my opinion.
Mate,the Hohner silver star is what I call a back up harp,being cheap (Chinese manufacture?) you can have a couple for reserve if the better quality and more expensive (Hohner made in Krautland )blow out a reed when doing a gig. 😨OK to learn on,but the sooner you get a higher quality harp the better you will sound.😎 Regarding bending or draw notes on the silver star,compare it to a Volkswagon and a Porsche (with the same company owner) on a race track....the silver star will get you to the finish line...eventually...maybe...usually...sort of 😂....but just keep playing and experimenting my friend that's what counts...if you want some laid back fun harp check out Juzzie Smith also. ✌
Hi Luke! Here you have another dumb hoping to put out some Blues sounds. I've just apply for the free lessons and I will make everything I could to pay further (although this may be difficult we'll see). Big hug!
I appreciate your teaching method, really helps to learn quickly 😊
Right on! So glad to hear that. Rock on! 😎

What is the best friend of any musician, especially playing harmonica to The Rolling Stones is a metronome.
Yeah Charlie Watts and all of them have a great sense of time for sure! 😎
Lots of fun playing around to warm up. This is the way to warm up! The hard part for me is slowing down! Discipline, discipline.... (I had the Live Stones" album in 1971 and was playing along with it then as a 19-year-old)!
Yes, I love the Stones and the harp ❤️

A little confused here on your discussion of chromatics. Check out my article here: www.harmonica.com/exploring-the-3-types-of-harmonica/

Yeah, Sugar Blue played a D harmonica for the whole thing. But G harp in 3rd position is easier for main riff. 👍🏼
I really love Mick Jagger playing harp!!!😊❤😊❤
Hı Luke! We mıssed you and your cool and funny lessons!!! 😊
Hi! 👋🏼 Thanks for watching! 😎🙌🏼🎶
Merci Luke
Wow, really good video.
Thank you very much!
Thanks bro. Old dog learning new tricks.
great great lesson Luke! Thank you!!
You're welcome. It's my pleasure. Rock on! 😎
hey ..a real good time spent with you !!
Yes it was! Thanks for coming. Rock on! 😎
Mick is such a Great harp player.
Agreed!👊🏼
Hi Luke ! Really good video !
I started on the harmonica a few months ago.
About Sweet Virginia, I tried with my harmonica key of A, and I think your tabs sounds better with this one. What do you think ?
It'll work with any key harmonica. Lower tuned harmonicas sound sweeter. I believe the original is A, so that's the one for playing with the record.
It's an A harp in first position, the way I recall. Those high end blow bends are pretty sweet.
Hi i'm from Colombia a bananean repúblic but i have enough culture to love true harp music
Love it amigo. Rock on! 😎🍌🎶
Nice job on Miss You!
Man, I love your videos...an the stones rock too...🤘
I appreciate that! 👊🏼
Hey cobber you are a good teacher keep it up well done regards Gerry 😎👍
Thanks Gerry! 👍 Rock on! 😎

Thanks
You're welcome. It's my pleasure. Rock on! 😎
Sou aqui do Brasil e curto seus vídeos, gosto dos Stones e tô aprendendo a tocar um pouco a gaita em C
Doest a third position riff in a second position song take you into a different key ?
Yes & No. This question doesn't have a quick answer.
Yes: Playing 3rd position on a C harp means you're playing in the key of D, and most often it's D minor (though it is possible to play in D major, which people usually call "3rd position major.") So 3rd pos is often used to play on a minor tune - like a C harp for D minor.

Got my first draw 2 bend today!! Thanks!
Fantastic! CONGRATS!
Cheers Luke. Now lets go onto Midnight Rambler and Sweet Virginia shall we??
Yes! DO IT!!!
Gonna try this!
You got this! 👊🏼

@@Harmonicacom Thank you! I really appreciate it. Now I just need to get an F# harp! 😳
❤ So cool I like it!
🙌🏼😎
I'd like to see something I haven't found anywhere. How to play the harmonica parts in the Rolling Stones song "Good Times, Bad Times".
Isn't that Led Zeppelin?
in the solo part to Miss You. have you switched back into a C harmonica??
I'm playing C harmonica on everything in this vid. 👍🏼
What harmonica you used for sweet Virginia ?
Special 20
No Lee Oskar?@@Harmonicacom
Amazing!!!
Y'all need to do some kessons on timing and how to practice with a metronome
Here ya go: th-cam.com/video/cOYJ4sDqHcw/w-d-xo.html

Dziękuję 👌😎👍👍👍
Thanks guys! 🙌🏼
I love you.😅
Love you too. 👊🏼
❤❤❤❤❤

Start from the bent position... Alright!
Lol. Yep. You got this! 👊🏼😉
Let’s be honest, Brian Jones was a way better harp player than Mick
Go ggbhb
