    Good lesson for a 73 year old like me. Mother made me try to play the piano when I was 10 and I hated it. I took up harmonica a few months ago and like it. Thanks.

    You are a good teacher man. Definitely subscribing. Besides vibrato, I’ve mastered every technique on the harp, can play anything, but my theory is lacking and it negatively impacts my improvising, and you seem to cover the theory side very thoroughly so this channel is exactly what I need.

    good morning Jonah,
    just held a class last night for blues harmonica. I threw up the 12 bar blues chart in different colors. Some caught on, some , not so much. Had the backing track going & that helped. We all had a blast & hopefully there will be some new harmonica players out there. Enjoyed this video, thanks,
    Dennis

Thanks so much for your lessons. Warm Regards. From Western Australia. Norm

    • @HarmonicaRevolution
      @HarmonicaRevolution  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Norm, that’s great to hear! Music is all about getting the basics really down really well, and then adding the complexity later intentionally, which is almost never that approach that people take. Seriously, just grind out those notes and chords with backing tracks, it makes such a big difference. Try to really understand what your playing, as far as chords and scales go, because when things get more complex, and you want some element of the song to be familiar and intuitive.

    Hi Jonah, absolutely love your teaching method and style. Think it's about time you considered developing some harp courses (blues preferably). There are many teachers out there and I've subscribed to quite a few but I think you've got the recipe right. I would definitely sign up today.

    The blues. I can follow the chord progressions and play the bass notes an chords. My challenge is improvising within the chord structure. I heard you say that you can play any of the notes in the blues scale and land on base note as needed. Do you have any basic tips for improvising over each section? Thank you.

    For some reason the 2 draw on my harmonica won’t play right. I tried it on a different harmonica same thing. I can play any other hole fine except the 2. Is there a trick that I’m unaware of? It blows but won’t draw properly.

    I have trouble playing harmonica because I am left handed.. I have to hold the harmonica upside down... But it's deficult to bend the notes properly playing up side down...Is there harmonica for left handed player?

    • @HarmonicaRevolution
      @HarmonicaRevolution  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No there isn't, but I doubt that it's the upside down factor that makes bending hard. Ive had to switch hands due to injury before and it's not very different. Bending is just difficult. You just need practice, most likely.

    • @batladorkhongnoh1331
      @batladorkhongnoh1331 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@HarmonicaRevolution there are notes which I feel hard to bend but I feel easier to bend the note after turn the harmonica in a proper way.. but it's difficult to change since I already played up side down.. but thank you so much.. for you advise... I will practice.. I really learn from you lesson on youtube..
