Thank you for sharing Jason, you are definitely the hardest working person on TH-cam and no one is more dedicated to their listeners than you. All my love and respect to you friend.
Brilliant as always Jason. Great vamp for building up stamina and getting gig chops into shape. Thank you. I hope all your gigs go really well. Best wishes, Ricky
Hey Jason. Nice useful lesson. We saw you in Albany last night. GREAT GREAT show. You were playing like an Alien! My wife who is a classically trained pianist loved the Bach that you fit into your long warming the audience solo. Great Great show!!
Hey Mooncat, I watched Vlog #45 before I watched this. Amazing that you took what little time you had to make this free Friday. Cudoos to you! You're the man!
You make tough licks grabbable! Love the way you teach! I taught myself to play, and do backrattle, my invention, but you have opened my mind up to up bending and other things!!!😎👍🎵🎶🎵
At a Jam last night, I was in G Minor, using 3rd Position on a Low F. Using draw 4 as my root, I wanted to go up and do some stuff in the upper octave, but had to fish around for the notes I wanted. I'm really not sure what to do with the IV and V Chords in 3rd Position (Minor Blues), and I'm still getting more comfortable with the upper end of the harp. Can you make a video on that aspect of 3rd Position?
Great video, as usual, Jason. Could you please consider doing a video on the relationship between chords, positions and keys. E.G. Are the chords in a 12 bar blues also positions? I find the theory fascinating, but confusing. Thank you.
In short a harmonica "position" is the practice of using different key harmonicas over any given key. When you do that the main notes or root notes of the chord changes will change holes on the harmonica or fall on bends or overblows. You can look at chord changes as position changes if you want , as there are 12 notes and 12 positions. The best place to start is in one position and learn the root notes of each change. Say you started a blues (I/IV/V) in 2nd position in G.... The one chord or "G" COULD be considered 2nd , while the IV "C" could be considered 1st and the V ("D") could be considered 3rd. If you explore my videos and others on different positions it will eventually start making sense. The 7 modes are a great place to start also... 💜
@@jasonricci Thank you Jason for that explanation, it does make it clearer. I'm slowly breaking through the fog. I have just watched your video on 'Scales V Arpeggios For Blues Improvisation. (What's The Difference.) And that was very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work, it's greatly appreciated.
Great video, as usual. Quick (and possibly dumb) question: would the 4-8 draw split and the 4-7 blow split work in 2nd position too? Free Friday rocks!!
I notice you use the word “vamp” a lot. Is that synonymous or n the harmonica with “riff”for guitarist? New to playing harp so I’m trying to figure the terms, positions, etc. Thanks for your videos.
That sounds so much like Mitch Kashmar’s Nickels and Dimes. I was just practicing it for a band rehearsal tomorrow th-cam.com/video/qd4vnrngB2s/w-d-xo.html
Happy Friday

The only teacher I know that doesn't sluff a Friday. Thanks J!
Thank you Jason, for another cool free Friday. Cheers!
Thanks so much Jason. Appreciate you. Have yourself a good time and stay safe.
Great lesson, Big J!
Yes, I agree completely with the last comment 👌
Hey Mooncat! Saw you at beachland yesterday, the show rocked!
Man, you are awesome! Keep on with great stuff!
Jason you are a great inspiration THAMKS
Awesome stuff! Now i get the idea that vamps usually start on route of the chord and progress to neighboring notes! Say hi to Lurrie! We all love him!
See you in ❤Albany tonight. Can’t wait to see it raw!
See you soon!
Kick it Jason!!!!!😎👍
Beautiful
Many thanx YOU ROCK.

Nope just a musical therm for a simple repetitive rhythmic lick. 💜
Hey!!! Do you have any lesson on playing chord changes within the pentatonic scale and with chord tones? I have not found It...
This should help! th-cam.com/video/GjCqh1NJB4E/w-d-xo.html
@@jasonricci It does, thanks... This is for guitar...
th-cam.com/video/NZCZVgQF7j0/w-d-xo.html
I'm shifting everything from 2nd position to 3rd position.but what you think Mr.Jason wich is better to play major in 3rd or in 12th position?
I think probably 12th but it all depends on the song!!!
Jason I'm not very tech savvy at all. Can you tell me how to become a patron on your channel?
Go to www.patreon.com/jasonricci and it will cue you with a few simple steps! Thank YOU ❤️
@Jason Ricci awesome! Thanks Jason
Beep boop beep.
