A THICK BRUMMIE FROM ENGLAND WHAT EVER YOU DO IF YOU LIKE IT THAT IS THE END PRODUCT MUSIC IS YOU IMPROVISE DO WHAT YOU WANT AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY CHEERS KEEP GOING.
As an oldie of 74, (I started at 72), this is a great instrument to learn. Stick it in your top pocket and doodle, it starts to make sense. I play blues and I've just started playing it in the band. This is a great place to start learning. When you start to bend notes you get a great kick! Thanks Luke.
I just love how Luke creates and teaches these lessons. He is such a positive influence. Now I just need to break out the harmonicas and start learning how to play!
Having the knowledge is one thing but being able to communicate it, to share it with others the way you do, it's totally another set of skills. Congrats oh great teacher Onizuka
Bought a harmonica about a year ago. Cycled through a couple instructional’s on TH-cam before I found this channel. And you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for this content. I learned so much from you guys in the past year.
After trying other TH-cam tutorials and not really vibing with them I found this channel and wow, I finally am getting it. With an hour or so’s practise with Luke’s instruction I was able to go from struggling to play single notes and not being able to bend at all to being able to play along almost perfectly with the solo.
@@Harmonicacom Cheers mate, I have invested in Beginner to Boss and am having a blast with it. By the way, do you remember what harmonica you are using in this video? It looks like it could be a crossover? it is the exact sound I am looking for (I'm currently using a blues harp and its a little flat in comparison although that could be entirely my fault)
Right on Carol! If you haven't already I encourage you to check out my Chords for Beginners and Single Notes for Beginners as this lesson is a little bit more advanced. Rock on!
Awesome. I play electric guitar and love jamming to blues, blues rock, whatever, but man, the harmonica has soul. You're an excellent teacher. No bs, right to the point. Cuts through the tricks and mystery right to the magic. Thanks.
This is without a doubt the most brilliant beginner's lesson I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them) I'm staying right here, and thank you for your talent not only in playing but also in your ability to convey the content. Very good concept and execution.
70 y old, still working !!! Im trying to play harmonic blues! This video is the best to learn!!! I play guitar with amplifier nd pedal !!! Your kind is very simple to learn. Congrats Teacher !!!
man , you're a very good tutor... like your methodology.. I bought my harmonica 3 days ago.. watched hundreds of videos. but yours are amazing... I've been able to bend today and keep up with you on this Blues solo.. Thanks a lot :))
Wow, Andre! That's very impressive. Just make sure you get those good fundamentals on mouth position: th-cam.com/video/3a_aXi1q8oY/w-d-xo.html And Isolating single notes th-cam.com/video/v4mDMJzsnoU/w-d-xo.html As long you are keeping those fundamentals solid, bend away. But typically I recommend not worry about bending at least for the first couple weeks, or longer...
Luke, you are a great teacher and the visual aids work very well - thank you for doing this video. I've been playing for many, many years and can bend and twist the harp many ways, but somehow haven't be able to really get the structure of the blues as you have laid out so well and clearly here. This may be what I've needed to see what I've not be able to do. Thank you for making it clear for me the way you teach!!!!
You are most certainly awesome! I'm a 69 year old guitar, and cigar box guitar hack. I've always admired blues harp players, and one man band buskers. Decided to get my feet wet on blues harmonica, and I like your videos. My harp isn't here yet, and I am expecting plenty of aggravation at first. Not looking to become another Paul Butterfield, just hope I can make some music.
Wow, thank you so much for this fantastic lesson. I finally understand the blues structure, I can't stop practicing this. You explain every thing so well and make it a joy to learn.
You took the words out of my mouth. I saw those blues phrases for 20 years and nobody ever explained them properly. Now I know. Thank you so much Luke.
I am a very extra beginner as far as harmonicas go, and I find your lessons to be encouraging and I can understand what you are communicating. Thank you for teaching, I more than appreciate it .
Thanks Luke - Had a great time learning yet a bit more from you. One of the best pieces of advice that I got from you was in a previous video lesson and all you said was take a break when playing a tune and don't try to play through the whole song. It'll sound a lot better with breaks. That advice was what I needed to tone it down and it works and sounds great. Then you get to kill that solo on your turn. Thanks again Vince
Ive spent hours trying to learn to bend and wah from different videos, this videos isnt even about bends or wah or oys but his calls are so simple I got it so fast, thank you so much man
I started with Luke about 2 months ago. It's 10/21/23 now I'm taking a beginner lesson from Luke. You need to get a beginner lesson from Luke, he's for the Beginner 5:39:16 v3
When I was learning Guitar, every month I's thinking about quitting, but somehow I'd regain my confidence and hope. These days in my 50s I have the same feeling with harmonica, except both feelings happen every day. YOU my friend are one of my main reasons I haven't given up yet. Thanks.
@@Harmonicacom people might not notice and appreciate how valuable is this video. Just the part in which you teach the first phrase, worth as a million dollar course. A simple trick that helps you with a cool opening every time you jam
When I jam,, I Just play it by ear & put my heart about it & produces great results...Im one of the few blues harmonica players here in Cebu City, The Philippines...Thanks for thus great tutorial...
Kickass , thats the good stuff. Like how you teach. got$10 swan harmonica on the may 5th. Was watching according to Jim, and Jim Belushi showed how to hold a a few simple techniques . Being 58 looking into and learning harmonica is fun. You and Jim and all the greats inspire. Also its great for breathing exercise to
It was very cool !!! I finally found what I was looking for so long!!! Even with my bad English, I understood almost everything)) Great positive lesson! This can not be found on russian-language channels. Thank you so much from Ukraine! Definitely like and subscribe!))))
I know you just briefly mentioned the analogy of a kid copying their parents to learn to talk, but that is EXACTLY how it is when learning a new instrument! You gotta learn how other people do things, and apply what you learned to create you own style! 👍
Fantastic, I made it also using a Shuffle using the Fender free app and works so well. The chords in the video seem to be wrong but the correct ones are in the description, thanks for a splendid video and lessons. I just grabbed my cheap Hohner harmonicas which are enough for learning.
Amazing! I've never been an explanation so good for this subj. Great, man! This lesson gave me motivation to come back to my harmonica's studies. Thanks ;)
I have got to say that you got me blowing and drawing, even though I have zero musical talent... What a wonderful time I had! You are a great inspiration to me and I shall look forward to every lesson ;)
I bought a C major and E major 15 years ago . I wanted to play the blues. I wasn’t even sure if I bought the correct majors. Couldn’t do anything with them just noise. So, I threw them in a drawer and forgot about them for 15 years. Just last week I herd a Arrow Smith song with a cool harmonica sound and I remembered my harmonicas and found them. I don’t know why but all of a sudden I could play it! I could copy most of the blue songs that I looked up on TH-cam. Is that normal to play instantly? I feel like I became possessed. Now I can’t put it down. For two weeks now I play it for two or three hours during the day. And at night I sit in my car playing so I don’t wake the neighbors. I like music for training but I never learned how to play an instrument until now. It’s weird!
You’re very welcome. Here's the jam tracks: soundcloud.com/user-58351614/12-bar-blues-jam-track There's also other jam tracks, audio examples, and written lessons here: www.harmonica.com/blues-harmonica-for-beginners-61369.html
Harmonica com Thanks again for the videos,my favorite is the banding,but they are all so great!Thanks for the answer,i m already a Fan of yours 😊✌️.Please tell me where you started playing,my neighbors in the skyscraper are already angry because i still can not play properly 🤣🤣🤣
WOO HOO! If you're impressing the mrs, there's nothing really better than that! Here's to hoping the harmonica heats up your love life. ;-) Rock on, Luke
Bruh I'm 42 and ALWAYS wanted to play some instrument. My fingers are long awkward for the guitar. I don't like the piano because it's such a large instrument. Bottom line I want to be able to play something I can just bust out at campfires, or just waiting in the car for my wife to finish shopping.... anywhere. I'm gonna go pick up a hohner today. I followed and subscribed to your channel. Keep this up. Im a job training instructor for construction by trade and I have to compliment your tutorial skills. Much love. If I ever hit the lime light. I promise you I'll be sending you a massive shout out.
Literally in the hospital parking lot my husband is in with lung clots and chf (at 43) trying to learn harmonica. 😑 just keep going babe. We trying to refocus energy over here. Many thanks
Hey Angel - thanks for the note. Yes, much more to come, busy doing a whole bunch of harmonica reviews right now, but mores lessons to come before long... Meanwhile, have you checked out these lessons? www.harmonica.com
If you are struggling to understand second position, this and the previous video about chords are really helpful and so far the only videos online which have truly helped me to understand playing in second position without switching harmonicas
Damn, what a video. Sometimes you witness people who are just made for teaching. This bloke is one of them, great and understandable lesson. Honestly felt like my most patient mate sat me down and decided to help me play the harmonica. Thanks!
I died and went to heaven!! I'll either be dreaming about this - or sitting up all night trying to figure it out. you're a great teacher and inspire confidence. my mouth is sore (from smiling as I watch you - and thinking "yeah, I got this")!
Your a great teacher I am a one man band playing guitar and custom made foot drums been playing guitar for a lot of years I added the foot drums about 5 years ago added the harmonica first position to my country stough about 3 years ago but I love playing blues so now I'm working on second position I'm getting the blues 2and position some what I just hope I can go back to first position on the fly I been doing this long enough you have to build up muscle memory but anyway thank you so much
@@Harmonicacom I have learned bending for beginners, birthday tune,Country roads,and some riffs, still HUNGRY 🤤 cannot find jam track!! For practice in c Diatonic! I am using Rocket 🚀 amp and Blues Master, Hohner Blues harp ms sir please 🙏
Thank you Luke!! I been playing the guitar for most my life, am 60 now, and am hooked on 12 bar blues. Recently started learning the harmonica, basically to accompany the guitar. (my singing sucks) lol. Am beginning to enjoy solo-ing, (no guitar), and just found this lesson of yours. It's brilliant. It's the lesson that has finally made everything click. Thank you SO much. Peace bro.
Whoa! What a blast! I can't believe what just came out of me and this video. When it started, I said "yea-sure not me". But it woke up my jam-o-sphere from guitar days. I am a real beginner and still working on lip formation and single notes. But I got the bends, trills, and a playground to practice (in car) now. After seeing your instruction, encouragement and grins; I am weeks further along, and having FUN... Thank you!!!
Wow.. ok so I’m a disabled 57 year old guy from south philly LoL.. doc said I need to take up some instruments to help me injuries... well I like the harmonica... looking for a week then found you!!!!

All these buds r from last year, feel like I'm late to d game. Brother, I like ur teaching style, hope u still making videos.
Hey Angel - thanks for the note. Yes, much more to come, busy doing a whole bunch of harmonica reviews right now, but mores lessons to come before long... Meanwhile, have you checked out these lessons? www.harmonica.com
If you are struggling to understand second position, this and the previous video about chords are really helpful and so far the only videos online which have truly helped me to understand playing in second position without switching harmonicas
Hey Logan - that’s awesome. I’m so glad the vids are helping.
Damn, what a video. Sometimes you witness people who are just made for teaching. This bloke is one of them, great and understandable lesson. Honestly felt like my most patient mate sat me down and decided to help me play the harmonica. Thanks!
Aw, thanks for the kind words mate. Greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼 Rock on! 😎
I died and went to heaven!! I'll either be dreaming about this - or sitting up all night trying to figure it out. you're a great teacher and inspire confidence. my mouth is sore (from smiling as I watch you - and thinking "yeah, I got this")!
Wow, so cool! Yes, this vid is jam packed and can be watched multiple times to pick up more nuance. Aloha!
I am a very experienced player but this is a very good beginner lesson. Well done. Highly professional.
Right on. Yeah, Vince Lumbarti started every season, “this is a football.” Can never get enough fundamentals. :-) Thanks for your kind words.

Peace bro.

Great video very clear and simple Thanks!
Whoa! What a blast! I can't believe what just came out of me and this video. When it started, I said "yea-sure not me". But it woke up my jam-o-sphere from guitar days. I am a real beginner and still working on lip formation and single notes. But I got the bends, trills, and a playground to practice (in car) now. After seeing your instruction, encouragement and grins; I am weeks further along, and having FUN... Thank you!!!
Yes, keep on rockin in the jam-o-sphere! The car is my playground too, btw. ;-) Thanks for the note, Robert. Great news!
You're the best around my friend.
Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it! God bless you and your harmonica journey!
Finally somebody explained that things 👏 🙌
Hey Alex, glad the vids are helping! Rock on! 🤘🏼
