This video is 4 years old,and still bringing joy to the world. Thank you tomlin. You did,do and will continue to make our worlds a better place. I wish we could pay it forward
Hey Tomlin,
I've been learning from your vids for a year now and the people i jam with, have noticed a significant difference in my playing! i think you are a great teacher!! and helping with proper bends and standard playing. i've grown more discipline in my playing and it is paying off significantly. i love blues harp and i have grown more obsessed in playing. i can't thank you enough for the youtube lessons!
cheers from southern Ontario
Thank you!
+Childish one that is Music to my ears :-) I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying learning so much!

I've been studying at various sites until now, but this site is the easiest to understand and fun to study!! Thank you for the kind site. ARIGATOU!!
Broo, I just got mine C harmonica and you are by far the best to teach it. I wish other brazillians could watch and understant what you saying, thanks broo
You are such a great teacher Mr. Leckie.
Practiced just the 2 hole draw for a month with help from your other videos. Got that down finally! Then i practiced doing single draws and blows for a short bit. Now this!
Got about half of this down. Didn't realize till now I was holding in the wrong hand though, but a simple habit to fix.
My dad left me some harps when he passed, and they are what I'm learning on. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge for free.
Thank you from Brazil ! 🇧🇷 Your lessons are great ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

+Henrique Alves that is music to my ears Henrique!
One of the best lessons ever attended in my life. Bravo
+Matteo Dalla Palma thank you Matteo!
My go to teacher. Highly recommended.
Tomlin, Good lesson, I was with you on this when I began 3 years ago. I just came back for a refresher and find the tabs handout turnaround is different from the video....I like them both. Thanks for bringing the harp up front where it belongs.
+Richardo Boyd hi Richard - the tabs are the same, just been edit to fit on a single line :-)
I was hesitating from learning something new but somehow I gathered enough courage to watch and was not disappointed. Great lesson. Thanks a lot
Man, I have been playing for years, and started out on the old Tony Glover books, but this is amazing stuff. Thanks!
Can’t thank you enough, you have really made things start to click for me was always struggled long with 12 bar blues every body said just play 1,4 and 5 thought they ment holes ,4 and 5 haha. You are really great at teaching, people are really amazed at my emprovement since I’ve been following you. Ty again
Thanks from Portugal! Awesome lessons :)
I love this. Been learning now for almost a year. Your teaching methods are second to none!
Hi Tomlin! Nice work. Your lessons are very helpfull and professional. Never give up doin' this. I think a lot of people needs your help. Cheers from Hungary! :)
+Nicolas Thomas hi Nicolas, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you like the lessons :-)
Thank you for embedding the tab AND traditional staff style music into your videos. It helps me understand from a couple of different approaches. I have followed and appreciated Gussow for years; your instruction is every bit as good as his.
Aw thank you David - that is high praise :-)
Thanks again mate really diggin the harp now thanks to you and your lessons.
Oh wow I love this, I will try hard, am just beginning! You are brilliant, Tomlin!
OMG! What lovely music from such a simple musical instrument! Incredible lesson. Wow!

Love it! Turnaround sounds very nice! Thanks
Thanks Rene - I'm glad you like it!

+Talia-Jade Magnes awesome! Keep up the good harmonica practice :-)
This sounds so tasty! Challenging, but really satisfying when it comes out right!
+Michael de Lange I'm glad you like it Michael :-)
Slowly coming together but, then, I'm 65 so there's no rush. Thanks Tomlin!
Absolutely beautiful lesson! Thanks! I'm improving everyday! Thank you!
This lesson is sooo good
Thanks Tom
thank you for the blues harp lessons. great teacher.
I love your videos... 1 suggestion is to have the tabs above where the scrolling time bar at the bottom of the page... i like to pause and practice before i play along and the bar is right across the tab... You sound british so cheers!
Thanks Tomlin, another great lesson.
Thank you, teacher 👏👏
I love this so much. Like the Australian philosopher said - I just can't get it out of my head. Can be a bit of a pain if I wake up with it in the middle of the night.
+ROBERT MITCHELL don't fight it Robert :-)
Very nice slow blues and great video. Thanks
+alain marois I'm glad you enjoyed it Alain.
Wow! What a fantastic lesson! I see how all the hard work pays off! Thank you Tomlin!
Great vid! Lovely 12 bar blues! Thanks for sharing.
+Davi de Lima my pleasure Davi

Hi Tom, first thank you for what you do. Really helps a lot of people. I also wanted to ask what music, musicians and so on would you recommed to listen to while I'm in the process of learning to play the harmonica. Thank you very much.
+Katherine Lopez hi Katherine - I'm glad you like the lessons. I would check out Little Walter, Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson, Paul Butterfield to get you started. In terms of teachers I would check out Adam Gussow, Liam Ward, Ronnie Shellist, Will Wilde. There are tons more but these are a good place to start.
Started learning now, thanks for the video and instructions! This is exhausting.
Over a very long distance, you've made an impact on my harp abilities. And I want to thank you. This is a very cool journey for anyone whoever wants to learn.
Thank you very much Tomlin.
That is awesome to hear :-)
Thank you so much ! You're a great teacher ! Keep up the the great work !
Awesome! Thx from the south coast of ON Canada.
Took me a minute but I see the tab has 4 extra beginning notes that were not in the vid.
your videos are great, love them! keep it up :)
+Karen-cillaPilla thanks Karen - I will :-)
Tomlin, great! Thanx, sir :)
Hey thanks for the teaching very helpful
+Banan O'donnell my pleasure Banan :-)
This is by far the most beautiful turnaround I've heard so far, it sounds amazing! I'm practicing like crazy, in the shower, in bed, hell I could even start in the subway but people might give me money (to stop playing!) Thx for this amazing lesson. I'm having a hard time on the half tones though (bends?). Any lesson to improve on that?
+Nathanael3D hi Nathanael - I’m so glad you enjoyed the turnaround in this tune. The subway is a great place to practice ;-) which holes are you struggling to bend?
Mainly at 6:17, to create two different notes from the 3 draw (3-1/2 and 3-1). Any lesson for that? I'm an advance beginner and I can already do some bending on the 4 draw, although it's hard to really control it. Thx :)
That's a very cool Video)).. Thanks!!!
Thanks you bro!
Hello, first of all thank you for this great lesson! I'm practicing for a couple of weeks now and am still struggling with the draw bends, but that will be. I hope so. I have much more worries about the air: There are so many draw notes in a row! Where to go with all the air when there is no pause to exhale?
I'm 61 years old and am finally getting serious about teaching myself harmonica (been playing off and on for years). Your technique and style is absolutely fantastic. Easy to follow and understand. Is the link still active for the tabs? I can't seem to find it. Also, how can I donate $ for the time and effort you put in? Thanks.
Bro I bought a 5 euro Harmonica yesterday and I'm the level 000 nevertheless i learned this only today, WTF HAHAHAHA it tooks me 1 day to do this and i can't stop playing the music 🎶🎶🎶😂😂😂
hey Bro!!! thanks for the lesson! im really trying to learn! but the second hole is killing me! hugs from brazil
Hi Saulo - so sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the 2 draw. Here is a lesson for you - th-cam.com/video/QTzyM-mq7Qc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Tomlin - really enjoying your lessons. Thank you very much for the effort you put in. .Just as a note though there seems to be an inconsistency on the 3draw1/4. Sometimes B and some times Bflat. Sorry to be a pedant ;-)
+Mark Holtom don't be sorry Mark, it is my mistake...
You are my favorite teacher !! Where can i find the backing track in mp3 file?
Unfortunately, I can be very bad English
Thanks for the beautiful videos
You're a very good music teacher
+Wanderer x you are too kind - I'm glad you enjoy them!
Thanks
+Kevin o'brien my pleasure Kevin :-)
Great video
+Rychiss13 thank you :-)
I do not get the audio or backing track. I only get the tab. But thank you all the same; it all helps immensely;
What harmonica did you use in this lesson please let me know having hard time to choose one with a nice tone like this
Hey tomlin great video! But I’m having a little trouble on doing the inflection, is there a video you have to teach me how to it?
Hi Bruce, I'm afraid I don't have a video up on TH-cam for that. I will be adding some lessons on it in my harmonica school in the next few months - tomlinharmonicaschool.com
looking forwards to coaxing a tune out this wee devil
+Donald Harcus excellent, glad to have you as part of the community!
Wow I suck at harmonica
Try not to suck - aim for breathing naturally instead ;-)
Tomlin Leckie hey thanks for the reply. I have an issue of either not breathing in enough or too much but if I go naturally it makes like no sound. Also moving note from note is a problem for me! Obviously I'll keep practicing
@@jaredknuckles9507 How did you go after a year? I'm in the same position as you were last year, I am hoping if you improved a lot, so will I, lol.
It's not called "suck". It's "draw".
Bravo
Can you come up with a slow blues and b flat riff plz
Hi Tomlin, thank you for this video. I have just one question: you call it "12 bar blues", but isn't it supposed to be a repeatable sequences of 3 cords? You play it as a music without some repetitions. Where I am wrong?
hey Tomlin,
I just can't seem to get the 34 note right. Do you have any tips?
great video btw
+lars hak hi Lars, the key is starting very slowly and just making sure that you are splitting air time 50/50 between the two holes. Once this is consistent, you can gradually speed up :-)
thanks, I am going to practice it!
Hi Tomlin. I seem to be having trouble running out of breath, particularly on the 3rd riff. any suggestions?
Hi Tomlin, on the filler is there a bend on the 3 draw? Love Your lesson's, any plans on coming over to Ireland for a workshop anytime soon?
+Brett Mc Grath hi Brett, there is indeed :-) I would love to come over to Ireland at some point to do a workshop...
Hello Tomlin Lackie
Sorry
Unfortunately, I can not downplay the playback from your site?

Greetings from Germany
Hello, I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble getting the backing track. Send me an email to tomlin@tomlinharmonicalessons.com and I will send it to you. Cheers, Tomlin
Hello Tommy,

Thank you for your videos

At 6 min and 14 seconds to hear
I would like to introduce you to my channel
but I do not know if you agree
Thank you from Germany
Sorry my english
nice super nice
Tomlin - any chance of getting a backing track?
Merci.
Robert
+Robert Chartrand hi Robert, just click on the link the description below :-)
Hi Tom .. Nice lessons ... for some reason I can't get the tab of the song ... when I enter my email it just reply back saying that I am registered but does not send the tab ..
How can I start learning harping? I bought a C scale diatonic and no-one teaches in my town. I am struggling like hell.
Sir i have a question!I am not able to play single notes properly!🙁Pls give me some tips asap!😉
is it possible to download the music to slow blues? I can only get the tab. Love the riff.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble getting the backing track. Send me an email to tomlin@tomlinharmonicalessons.com and I will send it to you. Cheers, Tomlin
Hi Chris - I'm afraid the backing track isn't for download on this one.
congratulations
Hi Tom, are you sure this is a biginner lesson man? )) I get overinflated on that turnaround before I can get that 2 draw bend
Probably more Advanced Beginner but maybe a good challenge ;-)
I have noticed that I inhale extra air with no sound on lower notes, untill sound start. Your lesson on 2nd hole draw helped a lot. May be I am a little early with advanced lessons ))
i like it
+sammondon awesome!
Hi great videos! I've got a question about lick 3 - I've realised that 3 blow is the same as 2 draw so on bar 1/ beat 3, I find it easier to do 3 blow rather than 2 draw. Is there a reason I shouldn't do that or doesn't it matter?
Hi James, go for it :-) I usually say that you should always use the 2 draw in 2nd position playing especially over the I chord. It makes sense to use it over the IV chord though - I often do.
The links in this video are mostly dead links. Error 404 or one goes nowhere. Thanks manage to download the warble one
SUPER
Thank you Mauricio!
muito bom
it is really hard to blend the sound in 3 draw accurately. any suggestion?
either too hard to draw like A flat ....
Hey can i play this one with a fender devill harmonica in C
Hi Omri - Absolutely :-)
Golgotha tabs please
This guy's just so handsome.
Where can I find the tab for download?
Hiya! The link for the downloads is in the description :-)
He’s so good that you can even hear a snare
5:04 to practice the 3 bends
Can you teach us how to bend the 3rd hole?
+Leandro Montanher de Lima sure, which bend specifically?
Well, actually I find all of them very hard. But the 1 step and 1.1/2 are the hardest.
7:28
Articulate the. 1 d an octive down. 4 blow is same note as 1 Draw
2 draw is my nemesis
