It's so cool to see the younger generation getting into the Blues. I'm 62 yrs old and have been playing over 40 yrs and love jamming the Blues. I'm still learning myself.
In 1967, in a still rural fringe of Bethesda, MD, I was on a balcony maybe 4 floors up. I couldn't sleep, & there was a cool breeze & a deep quiet that extended into the surrounding forest 100 yards away. There were 3 towers to this apartment complex, around a simple courtyard, & I was smoking my cigarette in peace when a dark figure ambled out to the concrete center & sat down on one of the benches. I felt like we were close in our sharing of the night, when from that figure came a blues harmonica solo that absolutely blew me away. It lasted maybe 5 minutes, followed by maybe another 5 minutes of ambience. I was in an afterglow, & didn't want to ruin a perfect moment but calling out. Then that solitary figure ambled back the way it had come. I never did know who that was. That was 54 years ago, & I can still hear it, & feel it. This reminds me of that moment.
Man, i’ve been playing about 55 years myself, but I’ve never played like that… Back then when I first watched an old black fellow played before me, and I loved that sound I told him, he said here I’ve got an old harmonica, I’ll let you have… He said, here’s an easy song for you to play and learn it was called old brown jug, he played it I picked it up and I played it the first time, he said, oh you’re fooling me you’ve played before I was only 11 years old… I said no I’ve never played my life. He looked at me and he said young man that’s a gift from God.
Might be worth mentioning that she is playing an instrument that costs about $35 US. Nothing fancy, but in the right hands (lips, tongue, mouth…) the wooden comb produces such a sweet and rich tone. Amazing vibrato! Mahalo for sharing… 😎🎶🤙
Hey, Tim. I bought myself 3 Fender Blues Deluxe harps and they sound pretty good, especially for $12.99 apiece, but which model is Amanda playing here and what key?
Amanda you are incredible. I'm 77 and have always owned a harmonica. As a traveling sales rep I spent many hours on the road and basically just breathed through my harmonica. I discovered you on line recently. St. James infirmary and The Way-Blues solo and others literally brought tears to my eyes. You have totally inspired me. I wrote down the score from St. James Infirmary and I will learn to play it first. I am very happy for you. You have a Blessed future in front of you. Thank you so much. Sincerely, your very inspired student, emac
Son, you have a lot to learn. All I learned to do with my harmonica, I can either blow in or out. Now I am learning how to blow a note. One step at a time. No rush. By 90, I hope...
Can't get enough of it. Makes me think of the old days on the river, camp fire, fire coffee, just complete sanity.. relaxation, the way the body is suppose to feel? Full of energy.. thank you girl for sharing your talent.. my family and friends enjoy, embrace it!! It's that damn good baby girl .
Yeeeessss. I was born in Peoria, Illinois on the South Side in 1960. WOW I have MANY Great memories of folks... Many times without ANYTHING Else other than there Mouth Organ
It always touched and moved me in a way that I cannot really describe. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and opinions. I still live on to learn. Hear and learn.
Awesome! Beautiful, soulful ... and I am thrilled that a young woman is the musician making that mouth organ sing the blues. Keep up the great work Amanda - you are gonna shine as a Harmonica Star!
I'm speechless. This lady has such fluidity on that harp & she seems to know those blues like the back of her hand! Great blues song Amanda Ventura!! I wish you were playing around my city 'cause I'd like to play blues on my electric Bass to what you're doing there!! Good job!!
im a harmonica player for 25 years now and all i can say is this is divine. x lifelong fan now. you make our instrument sound at its best but also you shine as a master of it. love to you. mouth organ morgan.
Ain't nothing like a good Blues Harp, My dad played in a lot of country bands. The last song I heard him play before his death was Good Night Irene. one of my favorite Harmonica's he had sound just like an Organ . It was almost a foot long.. Amazing Harp. By the way you sound incredible!
This masterpiece is 2 years old and I just heard it for first time. My love for this is not to be measured. Amanda Chapeau Bas, You've got me by Your music. Maybe someday I will be honored to hear you on Live. ☺
It's been years that I have been listen to blues, and when this morning, my good friend sent me this video, stupid me finally realised how Harmonica is the key instrument in blues. I AM IN LOVE 🥰
I guess everyone already said it all... I just wanna say I got blown away by such a soulful performance from such a young girl... Keep it up, girlie! God bless! 😉
That made me tear up at the end ,,, greatness, rather other listeners are fully aware of how much control she has on her draw bends . Especially at 1:09 , the harmonica is highly underrated Once you begin your journey to master ; it becomes a vortex of adjustments and crazy angles . What I’ve been learning from my personal journey and listening to others . It seems to be all about comfort ,which is incredibly hard to master , giving your comfort is literally how much air you can gasp 😱;!comfortably to be able to sound fantastic ! She’s got it and as I was saying the journey continues for us all!
El blues es de los generos que más mueven las fibras interiores y si bien otros instrumentos logran maravillas creo que la armónica es la reina del blues,abrazo desde Montevideo!!!
Amanda e o Blue são a mesma coisa, é a minha alegria vendo a fantástica Amanda tirando um Blue com sua gaita, sou teu fã, Reginaldo de Marília-SP-Brasil
Hay una característica muy común en los músicos como ella, interpretan de una manera tan mística que puedes cerrar los ojos y escuchar su alma, a veces, si te sumerges lo suficiente casi puedes tocarla, es increíble!!
I love every style of American musics especially Blues 😍😍😍😍 It is so delightful for me. When I was child almost all movies that I watched was about Blues style music 😍🙏🙏🙏 From Iran.🎉
Eu não te disse, você é a melhor no Blue uauu fico contente em ouvir você de novo, eu estou aqui no seu canal atento em ouvir e aprender alguma coisa com você e já te disse que sou teu fã. Bjo com carinho ❤ sem malícia.
The first time I heard her play the harmonica I was like who is this lady she left me speechless .I have never heard anything like this you are what I would consider world class without question. Are you sure your harmonica doesn't talk to .Thank you for the blessing.

Wtf It must’ve been Little Water you were listening to or Sonny boy Williamson
Thanks for sharing
I love your telling of this encounter. Idk if I’m just really zooted but the way you described it. I felt like I was there. You should be a writer.
You know how to capture a moment
That's so cool

Good to note for people. It's the time honing the skill and this woman has clearly put in the work.
I bought a lee oscar for me but i cant play a single note like that.

@@timnron according to the TH-cam description, “…Hohner Marine Band 1896 in A.”
I have been playing harmonica for 50 years this is as good as it gets.
She is brilliant..just brilliant
46 years for me
Superlativa oltre.
Will Wilde is another one to check out
There are thousands of talented harp players out there. IMHO your assessment is overstated. Just sayin'.
@@MrSpanky2001 she makes it sound easy, but what she’s playing is very technical. Her bending accuracy and intonation throughout is stellar.

I'm 57.. I wanna play like her when I grow up ! I'm a rookie.. but encouraged by this solo
Son, you have a lot to learn. All I learned to do with my harmonica, I can either blow in or out. Now I am learning how to blow a note. One step at a time. No rush. By 90, I hope...
Can't wait to get my harmonica soon and start practicing....That was amazing!
Keep the "Blues Harp Vibes" alive and PLZ NEVER QUIT........OK?...Ms.? You're an inspiration to many, many people.
My 6 year old asked me what a harmonica was. I showed her this video and we now have a blues harmonica fan 💙
And then everyone clapped
I'am in the exactly same situation😀. My 6 years old son and I are fans too now❤
So good to see a young woman playing with such grace.
Man…when played right the harmonica has such soul. And you played it right!
if you close your eyes and listen to the harmonica, you can feel your heart dancing to its vibe
Can't get enough of it. Makes me think of the old days on the river, camp fire, fire coffee, just complete sanity.. relaxation, the way the body is suppose to feel? Full of energy.. thank you girl for sharing your talent.. my family and friends enjoy, embrace it!! It's that damn good baby girl .

I'm sure Brownie & Sonny are looking "down" on this with smiling approval .
For me, she shines already.
I've played the blues harp for over 40 years and it's nice to hear a young lady do such a great job of it!
Don't you just love it when you come across something brilliant by pure accident sensational
Absolutely fantastic! The best harmonica I’ve heard in a very long time, very melodic, very sweet.
Check out Indiara Sfair then…
I literally can't stop listening to this... this is great... thanks Amanda.
Thank you so much Hector! ❤️
There is nothing better than blues music. Especially when you add the harp! Incredible musician.
This young ladies Blues style and sound are just fantastic !!!!
Where is this girl on our jam nights?! The world needs more of this.
Admiro el sonido de la armoníca excelente saludos mi super amiga favorita
She is an awesome talent. She’d be the first to admit that it takes everyone in the studio to make a sound this great. Kudos to everyone involved.
Some people are so gifted ❤❤👍
The greatest harmonica player ever and I’m from the Mississippi delta. No one has ever done it like Amanda Ventura
THIS. This is the power of the Blues: saying so much, yet playing only what really needs to be there. Well done!
Wow, to play like that - the music comes from her soul. An amazing God-given talent that CANNOT be faked. Keep playin'
Amanda plays with passion, heart & soul she is great...
Man, this is smokin! Great tone and playing 🤘🏻☺️💯
My only issue with this performance was it was way too short.
Brazil
Does anyone know what chord harp she is playing?
Man she’s truly mastered that harp. My ears are so happy right now! 🇬🇧
@@chrissamcmahan8106 it's on the description... It's a Hohner in A.
Outstanding, Amanda. There is much soul in your blues. Bless you for sharing them with us.
thank you so much! 🙏
Love the harmonica
I'm pretty sure this is the best blues harmonica player I've ever heard , I'm absolutely sure it's the prettiest .
😍😍😍❤
Amen she is amazing
… check out Indiara Sfair as well, bro. Phenomenal player and stunning also!!
She's playing from her heart.
makes me feel like a space cowboy
Yo buscando referencias para comprar una armónica y me encuentro al buen Zico xd
Saludos bro excelentes videos
See you later, Space Cowboy
@ZicoTops im so glad this comment exists because rewatching is what made me want to play harmonica
xd
😎💙
Your playing is so awesome, I can see why they named a highway after you.
A natural talent. Ain't no copycat tones coming out of that harmonica.
I'm feeling crap and I'm going to be listening this tune for as long as it takes until I'm back on my feet again. Thank you Amanda ❤
I'm speechless. This lady has such fluidity on that harp & she seems to know those blues like the back of her hand! Great blues song Amanda Ventura!! I wish you were playing around my city 'cause I'd like to play blues on my electric Bass to what you're doing there!! Good job!!
This is great! I am so glad to see more women playing the harmonica. When I first started it was mostly men. Thank you so much!
And if there were a way to learn from you by lessons...you got the right stuff!
Check out Brazilian Harmonica player Indiara Sfair. She's amazing.
Takes a lot of air to blow harmonicas
Play alip ba ta fingerstale chanel .please
Easily the best blues harp I have ever heard. Why the hell had I not heard of Amanda Vantura before? She is up there with the muso gods.
I came back to hear this again.Great music, really love the way she plays her Harmonica, just fantastic.
Aê garota... garota brazuka quebrando tudo blues harmonica... Show de bola..!

The way she makes that harmonica talk speaks for itself, but that's some damn fine accompaniment of that flat top guitar too. Well done.

How can this young one have so much soul? Well Done ! Thank you
Wow!, that was unbelievable, I've never heard such sounds from a harmonica before, - fantastic!
This is going straight into my favourites playlist. Superb!

The plaintiff sound of the harmonica expressed against authentic common acoustic blues riff . Real music, no stage gimmick, no trickery however loads of genuine musical expression. Sigh of relief and joy from this old timer.
Brazilian women playing the harmonica take it to a whole different level... 🇧🇷❤️
PREACH!
En una ocasión escuche a mi abuelo decir : el blues en armónica nunca decepciona..!!♥️
Y tiene razón 👏🏻👏🏻
