I really wanna take this guy camping. :)
I should be studying right now for my finals, but somehow i ended up in the harmonica section of youtube. Already bought one... Guess im a harmonicaplayer now
hows the journey so far?
Where did you bought it? How much did It cost? I want to buy one.
The Harmonica in the video is a chromatic. They have more notes and are more for virtuosos. Grab a diatonic in the Key of C from your local music store or online. Get a Lee Oskar or a Hohner Blues Harp or Marine Band. Stay away from cheap harps like the Silver Star. You should be spending about 30 to 50 bucks.
@@onthewattle which harmonica on the video is chromatic? first xb-40 is a diatonic harp but each note can be bend, second is a marine band and last one is an octave harp. Chromatic would have a button on a side and would sound different. Cheers
No Chromatics here... this is a specialty harp and cost me over a hundred !!! Yikes
This is amazing. I play harmonica and was thinking what would Irish music sound like on harmonica. This was the first video that popped up.
Pleased to hear that you like it 😊 check out my other vids as well 😄🎶☘️
It's a similar type to all I can practice. Li didly I di didly di didly o
Certainly most people cannot appreciate the skills and practise required to master the harmonica like this...

4 = 4 Blow

3X = tongue slap 3 blow A. On a G harmonica which he plays in the video, it would be from D -> E.
You can retune your harmonica to paddy richter yourself easily, just be careful when fileing and use a cheap or old harmonica the first time.
Stealthsuit07 thank you for that mate
A. You are awesome for posting this tab. B. Any videos you recommend on how to tune it and C. Any sites you recommend on where to buy a paddy Richter harp in the states

I'm very late in responding to you but I will answer in case some other people have the same questions.
B. There are loads of videos about tuning harmonicas on youtube, I recommend Andrew Zajac's videos about it - though bear in mind that he uses a lot of self developed tools. All you really need is a needle file and something to measure the pitch.
C. I'm not really knowledgeable about the US market since I live in Europe, but the only harmonica manufacturer that offers out of the box paddy richter tuned harmonicas that I know of is Seydel - and their harmonicas are great. But as I mentioned in my first post it's easy to do yourself on any harmonica as long as you don't rush it.

The only time its acceptable to say tongue slap
My father is Harmonica legend Arthur Middleton from Aberdeen,Scotland. Your playing is at his standard. Well done. Your an amazing player
That was a gift to anyone listening. Absolutely amazing!
Ok, that was actually F*** AWESOME!
Its lovely to see someone demonstrate that the harmonica is not just for blues music. Its awsome in ITM and you are playing it pure drop. Great Craic!
I just picked up the harmonica. And my brain naturally goes to irish la di da Las and I klcant stop the cycle of playing that tune in my head this gave me a whole new scale to understand where those folk roots can touch
Oh man. It's a wonder that melody so long as that can be remembered! I have never seen something like that.
Differrent reels not just one easy to remer, and the player does them full justice. Brillianr!
Can some one just appreciate the actual talent of this! Wow!
A credit to Irish music from someone playing Irish music for 40 years. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic playing. This is my new aspiration - forget the fiddle, I want to learn reels on harmonica.
Don’t think that because it’s a harmonica it’ll be easy. Just be Patient and practice, practice, practice. Oh, and take some lessons to avoid bad habits - the ones I had from being completely self taught. Had to spend the last 3 years unlearning some really ingrained bad habits. Would not want any new player to have to do what I did to become a better player. Howard Levy’s lessons are gold, no matter what style you play...
Me too
I listen to this every monday on my drive to work. Amazing
Me too
This is exactly how I want to sound when I get a harmonica. Thanks!
Thanks pal. I was tapping my feet so hard I now have blisters on my toe. But I'm now ending my evening happier than when it started. Bravo.
Hope you watch this again and you do the same thing all over again pal XD Let's see if 2 years was too long.
Round 3?
!!!
My jaw is on the floor. Harmonica suits these tunes perfectly, gives them the same feel as a concertina. You play skillfully and beautifully, and those transitions are absolutely mind-blowing! 11/10 man, absolute wow
WOW! The Harmonica isn't an easy instrument to play, but you somehow play it as if it is very easy. You are a Michael Coleman of the Harmonica
Actually, a basic diatonic harmonica isn't that hard to play... but to play it well, like that, or some of the great blues players? That is what is really hard.
That is hypnotic. I closed my eyes and felt myself being carried to a far away time and place.
Omg, this was amazing man!
I'm enjoying this immensely!!
