► Need a fast track for learning harmonica? www.harmonica.com/lessons/ FYI: JP is now retired from teaching harmonica, but you can catch up with him over here: www.gofundme.com/f/hmmrss-sup...
This video reminds me of 2008 youtube, it has a really bad cam quality and few funny/cringy moments. Yet it's incredibly helpful and provides what you want. Wish all of the contents on TH-cam were like this.
This is a PROPER tutorial! This video breaks down the actual mechanics involved and by following what he said, I could play the single notes almost immediately (just ordered a brand new diatonic harmonica). I was so excited when I could then play the diatonic major scale with clear single notes! Thanks a lot!! Great video!
The comment at the end about keeping your jaw relaxed and back is exactly what I needed. I was apparently jutting my jaw forward without realizing it. Thank you!
Many thanks for the great tip, I've been learning to play Harmonica for only 3 days now and I can play single notes as per your teaching method, Thanks.
I'm a new on this, so corious to learn, I did try making single not, and it seemed frustrating, thought I could never make it, but when i saw your video, I got the spirit again, it seemed you fully understand the difficulty. Thank you
I still can't believe how this video helped me in all possible ways. I was stuck for half a year because I couldn't get that warm, single note played on the harp. I attented several online courses. It didn't help. In my frustration I watched the 500th video of playing single notes on TH-cam and JP really was able to get me to the next level. Literally, my overall playing has improved so much. My notes sound warm and I don't accidently blow 2 notes when I only wan't one. Also, less air gets lost and the notes are louder/fuller. I am so thankful, thank you JP and I hope you are doing well so far since the accident was 10-11 months ago. I wish you the best!
Thanks for this. I've been struggling to play after watching many other videos only to learn I wasn't using my mouth properly. Not only did this help with your lessons, but I am able to get more out of other lessons. I never realized how different the harmonica sounds with different mouth positions.
Though this video is 4 years old, he really pulled me out of my struggle to produce clean single notes. Best video for beginner to produce single notes. None of the other videos had helped.

This guy just got me drawing clean in 2 minutes . None of the other tutors managed it in a month.

I've watched several videos on how to play single notes, and this is by far the best explanation...as can be seen from the comments.
Thank you so much for mentioning TMJ. I went through that before and know what that pain is like. Love your instruction. Very clear.
I was struggling from two days but now I can make it. Thanks a lot man. I watched tons of videos on this but this is the best and very quick.
Ok half way through the video now and man you're a true natural. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge!!!!

Thanks for the great lesson. This has helped my single note playing immediately!
So glad I found this video. I am literally a beginner and I could not figure out playing single notes. Thanks for the upload!

Man, you are a great teacher! I've been watching several videos and I could get one of the lip tricks with you. Thank you :)
