Chics dig this guy. Every video I've seen has a girl by his side ogling him like he's the leader of a harmonica cult. Outstanding my man. Simply outstanding.
now you know why he smiles all the time
Harmonica player = amazing oral skills 😂
That’s admiration.
I've looked at so many harmonica did/lessons. Yours are so insightful, gentle, encouraging, playful,.. and in my opinion... the best.

All this harmony of a sound played in a harmonica indicates that there is a master behind it. CONGRATULATIONS JP !!! I believe I will be your student soon! You are the man!!!
Jp you're so patient and kind I love your lessons and I already play flute but when I saw your videos on TH-cam I decided to get a harmonica and start playing and learning thank you so much .
Great musician and wonderful teacher. I bought his harp lessons two years ago, and still use them.
He seam a jolly good fella too.
I just knew I'd find a good harmonica teacher someday! You are such a good teacher! Thank you!!
Thank you, as a complete beginner, I found this subtle tip, very helpful, particularly on being able to single out each note.
Best instructional video I've ever seen. Ive started hitting single notes with less problems and more success than I've ever in my 28 years
Really excellent tips. This is very helpful to have mouth position walked through so slowly and thoroughly. I've been practicing for a few months and have problems with airiness and bad tone and soreness from contorting my mouth and jaw. After revisiting these basics and practicing with your methods for a half hour I already have marked improvement. Especially informative was explaining how the bottom lip contributes to the blocking. Thanks Jp & Stefany.
I have only seen a couple of your videos and so far you are my favorite harmonica teacher. The others don't explain how to hold your mouth very well. Nor do they go over the notes like you do. I'm also a visual learner so the dry erase board helps
this was actually the most helpful lesson for me so far - I am way more confident with the deep relaxed mouth hold
Thank you for all of your great tips.
Excellent Instruction! Finally something that actually works for us beginners. Thank You!!! I've had the hardest time trying to perfect single notes until now. Much easier this way.
i have looked at other how to videos and you are the eaisest to follow
i'm a slow learner and i really want to be great at blues harp
i know its going to take years to get as good as you but i will not give up
i have blues in my soul
Finally, detailed instructions and close ups so I can get started without having bad habits from the beginning. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Bless you for playing Lee Oskars. The last one I played was a low F. It leaked air so badly, I ended up throwing it across the room.
OMG. It really works!! Thank you so much!!
So helpful! Thanks.
such an intensive student, i couldn't have let her go away, it would have been a life long lessons.
this also helps me play single notes much eaiser
thankyou
I can play single notes after just 2 minutes. Instant learning. Superb teacher 👌
THIS POSITION MAKES IT SOOOO EASY TO BEND NOTES!!
Forum9 I'll N++WAS6 O[
This guy is very helpful.
Its so nice you guys just smile all the time :3
I think even I will b able to play a little bit, after your lessons, THANKS!
Really useful lessons 🤗
Super helpful! I'm just getting started and was having trouble with this!
Glad it helped!
ive played the harmonica a long time ago then i found my harmonica and i forgot how to play it and i found this youtube channel and it helps
I'm glad to hear that Diamond. Enjoy.
Dear JP thanks for all the great advices. Please can you tell me the name of the song in the beginning. Sounds so good. Best wishes
Hi JP! thanks for sharing knowledge! I have a question: while doing the deep relaxed mouth position how I'm supposed to hold the harmonica? is difficult for me to go deep as you say and hold it in the correct way. thank you very much!
thank you so much
awesome. doubled my skill in 8 minutes
helpful tips n tricks thnx sir
When I play for more that 20 seconds the lips dry and it's harder to move the harmica, this causes me to play wrong notes.
Any suggestions? 😊
Thank you!! Great explication!!
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome.
I am loveing your video allen. what is this theme called that you play in beginning? Can it be done on C harmonica.
this is heartening and hard to watch.. JP is somehow still the happiest guy on Earth
What is the track name starting at 0.18. Plzzz. Loved the way you played it. Superb
The best because you do close ups. Thanks.
Thank you! Got it!
Great!
That is one killer mullet!
Business at the front party at the back...
I am practising harmonica for couple of weeks but wasn't getting a single note properly. I watched this video and I tried what you have suggested and wow suddenly I am getting a really good clean note because of the tilting technique and I loved the sound so much that it made me play the harmonica for hours. Thank you so much!!
beginner here. this was very very helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What was that name of that harmonica that you were playing in the begaining
Which is the first tune you have played JP sir
Holy shit, I just went from complete shite to fucking master in a second! thanks
You’re awesome
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Luke
OMG.so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodd
Hi JP! I'm a new (just picked one up today) harmonica player and have a few questions for you. 1. What are your thoughts on the Fender Blues DeVille harmonica? 2. I saw in one of your other videos that oh we're talking about bending the notes, do you think this is something I can accomplish with more/less difficulty with this brand? 3. I have a pretty big overbite, do you think this will affect my ability to play the harmonica well?
Sorry for the typos, I'm writing on my phone.
You were talking about**
whats that song in the beginning?
Should the armonica touch the bottom teeth or not?
what is the title song in the 18 minute.?
I have to switch it up and play different when I take out my partials. lol
Get the 2 draw better on the c without my teeth in.
class bro
I want his hair!!
what is the intro music?
I can do this quite well, but I have a really major problem. No matter what I try, my lips will stick when sliding up and down. Decreasing and increasing the pressure and hardness of the lips doesn't help. And I can't curl my lips enough to have only the inside lip in contact.
It should be easy and relaxing right? So what am I doing wrong
what is the track name starting from 0:18 thanks
I wish I knew
please tell me the name of song that you play in the begining
I also wanna know
Quarentine club: Harmonica edition
that's kind of deep!
your talking reminds me of Matthew McConaughey and you even kinda look like him
dude, i was gonna say that xD
great lesson!...but I'm really disappointed in how the sultry lady's knee gets in the way of me checking out her rack for almost the ENTIRE VIDEO...come on man, don't you proofread?
That's not her knee, it's a small bald guy getting a better look
You
Web site is. Sheet
sounds like Linus
at the very beginning i was like, oh yeah save Lord!!! hallelujah
I cant tell if he is trolling..
she seems scared of him.
yeah she does LOL
Let me preface this by saying I've been blowing Harp since the early 70's and I have taught privately.
At no time did you ever explain why this technique is useful and or what it can acheive. I started my musical life as a Brass Player so I had the benefit of a few years of training in breathing, and I mean proper breath support, articulatation, tonguing, etc. so I know that when you use this technique the jaw drops, the cavity of the airway opens wider and as the lips come into play your options are many; hard bends, driving overblows, wavering vibratos and so much more. I know I'm preaching to the choir here.
@ 5:01 when you were explaining how to do it for about the 8th time I almost lost patience totally and dumped your video. @ about 6:30 you sort of eluded or pointed in a direction but not really. Everytime you explained HOW I was looking for you to come through with WHY, but it never happened. I mean no offense in any of this. You're obviously an experienced knowledgeable player and I found you very likeable, I just think you could tweek your teaching method by coming to a point with every single lesson.
Good luck and keep 'em coming.

I came for the music. .. and there was none
I find the girl's eye f^#$ing of JP the entire time distracting...
Hahaha yes
Greg Murray he has a cute girl in every video - they've figured out what that harmonica mouth do hahahaha
Greg Murray country road harmonica lesson
How to eat a harmonica!
a lot
a chick a day, keeps the doctor away.
Sorry JP but Lee Oskars are mediocre, overpriced harps with no resonance. They give a bigger dealer discount than Hohner which is why you hardly see Hohners in music shops (UK anyway) any more. And you can use a G harp to play easily in A minor, Peace.
It's actually a Special 20
He’s not for you Serene!
8 minutes of wasted time. This is 30 seconds of information. Too much time repeating himself. Says the same thing over and over again. How many times can you say the same thing. Come closer so you can here the same thing again. Wait, I have another 30 lines of telling you the same thing over and over again.
