These are fantastic…I love lick 4. Only been playing about 3 months. I don’t sound like you but I think I’m doing alright. I love pushing myself to do these harder ones.
Doing yard work … was looking forward especially after demo: gimmy-give me 🎼🎵. Thank you Tomlin from Neptune beach Fl, founder and life member of GPU / G-P-University 😉
This is quite a fun & useful exercise Tomlin. Especially appreciate your continued emphasis upon the timing. Muy importante. I’ve had a blast with this one and your Huey’s talkshow boogie. Keep’em coming, and thanks awfully!!
Hey great lesson wish I had found this one sooner. Been playing and eating your video/lessons for 3-4 months now..... I was able to pick this up by ear and playing in under 10 mins. I had one quest. Judging buy the info I just provided what level of player would u say I was or close to. I am off work due to a disability and have been putting in 5+ hours a day in practice time, and not once have I ever been bored or sick of playing ..... I have to force myself to take a break. ...... Thanks for all the great lessons cheers.
Awesome lessons, I've been practising simple tunes for about 5 months, but finding it hard to start practising the blues and improvisation, this is what I need . Can't wait to spend hours practising this lesson., love your channel. How long have you been playing to get as good as you are.
Hey man I love your instructions and licks, they have really helped me learn the blues style harp playing where as I grew up playing a bluegrass style harp . you are a great instructor and an excellent musician and i dig it. peace.
Hello Tomlin, great lesson, as always. A question, though. I have always wondered why we have to play the 2 draw instead of the 3 blow, which sounds the same (but it seems you never use it). Instinctively, to me it feels easier e.g. here in Lick 2 (3.45) or Iick 3 (4.21)
The thing is it doesn't Sound the same. The draw note can be blended with a bit of bending, which makes it bluesier. Also, you can chug while drawing in 2nd hole. There are many other reasons too.
On lick #1 do you first draw on the third note. Then on a second breath draw and bend? Or do you draw once and after you play the note bend it from there on the same breath? Just starting out and I have to say thanks for all the great videos. Awesome stuff!
Tomlin when you say your using a c Harp but playing in 2nd position of G, and if I have a G Harp can I play in that, don't understand the positions yet?
Totally, you can play around with adding extra notes on the blow chords because the notes repeat themselves all the way up the harp. The blow notes are tuned like this - CEGCEGCEGC.Well spotted!
Hi Evaldas, thanks for getting in touch. I’m afraid I tend to focus on beginner to intermediate players. You should check out Jason Ricci’s videos for some advanced lessons :-)
PepJuice Evey harmonica can play in several keys, but only two are ever really talked about. So in the case of a C harmonica, when you blow into the first three holes you are making a C chord, and you are also playing in a C major scale. When you draw on those first three holes you are playing in a G major scale. That’s second position (cuz C was first position). If you need to know what second position is on any harmonica just count up five letters in the alphabet (C, D, E, F, G) and that’s second position. I’m probably not explaining it well enough. Just Google it.
Transitioning quickly between holes 1-3 separates the good players from the wannabees. I'll stick to slow blues and the kin for now unless I get a gene transplant from Paul Butterfield!

This is one of the best vamp lessons with great licks. You break them down nicely.
Thanks, man. Love your content.

These are fantastic…I love lick 4. Only been playing about 3 months. I don’t sound like you but I think I’m doing alright. I love pushing myself to do these harder ones.
Thanks for a great lesson. Has really helped me with different parts of my playing, timing, bends and rhythm.
Great lesson. Please more like this. I think it is easier and people can have success with it and feel better about playing.
Glad you like it Michael :-)

Good lesson
Thank you :-)
Thanks so much! you are a great instructor and musician! Is there a reason you end on 2 draw rather than 3 blow?
Big thanks from indonesia..
My pleasure my friend :-)
Please, make a lesson of I really don't want to know - Charlie MaCoy
I’ll check it out :-)
That last lick really taught me to slow down and enunciate my bends.....which was very frustrating,but it made sense...
Excellent - learning an instrument can be seriously frustrating :-)
Do you have a video where you explain how to get such a deep 2 hole draw bent? Thank you!
Hi Andrew, I do indeed. Here you go - th-cam.com/video/6QUDh9V4pFU/w-d-xo.html
wow.... amazing!
Thank you :-)

Brilhant
What key harp?
Thanks for the tabs
I can use that to play a boogie blues
Do you also use drums like Adam Gussow?
Best wishes from Germany
Tomlin when you say your using a c Harp but playing in 2nd position of G, and if I have a G Harp can I play in that, don't understand the positions yet?
What is the 1 by the 3
Hey, I can hear C note in the upper part of second chord (1:08). That means you are playing 234 blow instead of 123 blow?
Totally, you can play around with adding extra notes on the blow chords because the notes repeat themselves all the way up the harp. The blow notes are tuned like this - CEGCEGCEGC.Well spotted!
That's just fun
Advanced tutorials please :o

What does "second positon" means please?

Hiya - I have a lesson on positions that might help you - th-cam.com/video/hAgmbmvzjbY/w-d-xo.html
