Love over the rainbow dint know about the 5 draw your video whith your sister whose awesome your sister really talented and the harp playing just a joy close your eyes and all your troubles are gone thanks will
Which brand harmonica are you using in this video? Does it come in a country tuning or did you have to modify it yourself? Thanks.
👍 O WOW that was Great by you and your Sis. You Should work on some Charlie McCoy tunes.. And rip them with your rock and roll talent. A ballard.
Kind of like kid Rock playing "Only God knows why" 🤙
Will, you might mention the advantage of Country Tuning when playing in 5th position; 2 blow is the root and the 5 draw raised allows for a complete minor scale. In E minor use a C country tuned.
Good point, wherever you have a major scale you have the relative minor. I wouldn't choose to play a song in 5th position though, I find it's not very expressive with the root note being on a blow- but it's still useful if you are playing a song that switches between relative major and minor keys.
Excellent introduction to this harmonica tuning. It's my first time learning about country tuned harmonicas and incredible video at the end!
Your sister has a unique and incredible singing voice! And, your harp perfectly supports the message of her song!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!!
🤘😸🤘
I ended up learning a lot of stuff today! Thanks bro!
Will, this is a beautiful song. The girl has a beautiful voice, and you played fantastically. Honestly, i haven't heard anyone play the harmonica so perfectly. You are a great musician
Thank you :)
@@willharmonicawilde I would buy some Seydel harmonica but i don't know which one and which key, for advanced beginner...
Niiice, have retuned some of my old SP20 to Country recently by interest. And now I learn what to do with them :-D
Awesome, enjoy!
Excellent, thank you.
Bloody Beautiful....
good stuff Will all the best to you in the new year
Thanks, you too!
good.Hello! From Ukraine.
Thanx Will, Ive been thinkin about C.T./Jazz T. lately. Good ,clear explanation. Im not too good at over draws/bends, over blows/draws especially on My out of the box harmonicas. Thanx for reminding Me of Roly. Love The Wildes. Great vidio. 👍👍👍⚘🎸😎⚘
Thanks Charlie, no problem Roly is a great player! Country tuning is really uswful, even if you are good at overblows you still can't get that same pure tone on the major 7th as you can with a natural draw note.
Muito bom!!! A música é muito boa também!!! Parabéns meu amigo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got one and realized it’s amazing for 3rd position playing as well. Maybe do a vid for country tuned 3rd position playing.
Yes, in 3rd position the raised note gives you a major third in draw 5 instead of a minor third.
What are the pros and cons of using Country tuning for I - IV - V blues? (Lovely song, btw.)
I myself tuned one of my harmonica for that . Easy not a big deal as I just tune 1 note . If you have some extra harmonica use it
thank you and God Bless
How do I change my C major Harmonica to a C minor Harmonica? Like, which reeds to flatten, and how much?
For natural minor tuning you would need to flatten draw 3, draw 7, blow 2, blow 5 and blow 8, all by a semi tone.
You Rock! Could you do the tabs to the Irishman theme song? Thanks. Just started to play again after 20 years and need to blow the dust out of the old lungs!!!
Try using your ears, tabs don’t help you to develop your ears…
Good video. Nice tone. Loose the hair flicks...
I shave my head. Wish i could do hair flicks.
Ok, so I’m totally new to Harp. Will and folks, Pls confirm: are you suggesting that if a song is in E, it sounds best to use an A harp? Please forgive the beginner question. 🙏
Yes, for that typical bluesy/country feel it would be better to use an A harp, because of how the notes lay out and where the bends are. This is called playing in second position. About 90% of blues harmonica you hear is played in 2nd pos.
@@willharmonicawilde thank you so much for the reply and feedback, Will. Very much appreciated. 🙏🏆👌
Love it!!! I'd llke to get one. Do you suggest an A harp as the first one?
Whichever key you like playing in the most
@@willharmonicawilde I mean, which key do you think would be the most useful for country-type tunes? And does this tuning work for Irish stuff, too?
@@dovlandzbaum5036 I can't really give you a definitive answer. Country songs come in all keys. As with any song the key is usually determined on what works best for the singer. E,A,G, Cand D are probably the most common keys so that would be A,D,C, F and G harps for playing 2nd position.
@@willharmonicawilde Of course. However, you mentioned A first, so does that mean anything or is it just what popped into your head?
@@dovlandzbaum5036 its just the first one i picked up when i decided to make the video.
How can we bend a draw 5 as u said at 2:34?
The same way you bend any other draw note. On a country tuned harp the 5 draw will bend a full semi-tone (from a major 7 down to a flat 7 in second position)
@@willharmonicawilde do you mean, that only after tuning, we will be able to draw bend the fifth draw? Because when I try to draw bend from the fifth hole (without tuning it) it just bends a quarter note. Not even a semitone.
@@RamCharan-rg3no If you raise draw 5 by a semitone to a major 7th (country tuning), then it will bend a full semitone.
