+Jon Boll Yeah, because listening to this beautiful music that could be reproduced on a $30 harmonica if you put in the time to learn, and a multi million dollar mansion that you probably have no chance of owning are the same thing. If videos like this don't make you wish you could do this, then something is wrong with YOU.
When I was a kid I always thought a harmonica was a toy. This is an example of making such a small instrument not a toy anymore. I wish there were tabs for this jam.
I always come back to this video! The bend he does around 2:10 gets me every time. I hear it and I’m just like the guy in the video...”DAMN!!” So awesome!!! I found a comment I left 4 years ago about going and getting a harmonica after watching this , and I did. I still can’t play like this guy but I’m getting there. If you wanna learn how to play the harmonica look up a guy named “Funky Harp” channel. That’s a good dude and he can teach you how to play quick! Have a great day everyone!! Damn I’m in a great mood!
@@oliverwright6215 oh it's that good lemme tell you that. I live in an apartment and I get in the mood in the evening and after 10 pm you're not allowed to do any loud stuff. I also don't really know what to start with. I assume you also play, how is it going for you and do you have any tips?
@@TheSweBro harmonica isnt my main instrument but ill say you should learn to improvise and maybe with the blues scale. Bend on the 4 hole draw, o and also im guessing you have a c harmoncia if you do just solo a blue over a backing track in g. theres a really good one and the picture is a guy with heart sunglasses and a guitar. you could also make your own variations of licks you know
@@oliverwright6215 yes it is in C. I can't seem to find the right thumbnail when I search "blues backing track in c". I'll look up some tutorials on how to do that, never tried bending notes.
1:55 also the guitar player is a hell of a rhythm player I play the same rhythm and the bend he does is so awesome also he’s got one hell of a guitar nice man!
I'm a guitar player to and I can't just play rythem like some real rythem players do it like this guy is straight forward and good but I can do that but I feel more comfortable doing the lead or improvised... I'm so comfortable with improvise it's weird
This is the strongest harmonica playing. I never heard. Probably the best. This man got some strong blues. The late great b.b King said it. He said you can play my songs but those are my blues. You have to make up your own blues when you are a harmonica man and this man got some strong blues boy. He killing it he taking it home I'm going to listen to this every day
So I'm here listening to this in the lockdown of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I've ordered my harmonica, 'rona is delaying the delivery but if I'm gonna be locked inside for the next few weeks you can be damn sure I'm playing out my window like a wise old man on his rocking chair in every wild west film.
God damn corona, it had me locked inside, (Harmonica) God damn corona, it made me cry inside (harmonica) I sneaked out twice in 1 day to the shops and got questioned by the police and so i lied (Harmonica) On my way back from the shops, I saw my next door neighbour and gave him a high 5 so therfor i failed at social distancing, but o well at least i tried (Harmonica) God damn corona, my next door neighbour died! (Harmonica)
He says, " That's all I got" at the end. Well when your bring the devil out in them blues son, you got fire melting the pot. That was great. Thanks for sharing.
I come here 6 to 7 years later, found my old comment with almost 200 likes and to this day this is the most amazing harmonica performance I've ever seen in my life. Dude, idk who you are, but you beter have not quit the harmonica bro
As a young Man who is now a retired Mortician and no longer living in Los Angeles California where I traveled to work every day which took me 2.5 hours each way in bumper-to-bumper traffic so, to not stress out, I took up the Harmonica and focused on blues. Well, my graduation as a blues player came 4 years later on a very hot day sitting in my car with the Engen shut off playing my heart out in a business suit right next to four good looking Black girls that I had not noticed who had pulled up beside me, they stopped talking and just sat and listened to me play their kind of blues music and when I had finished they started screaming and clapping their hands and praising me for doing such a good job. i needed that.
G2 NELSON that actually kind of happened once. Junior Wells, one of the best harmonica players of all time, stole a harmonica from a pawnshop because he couldn’t afford it. He got caught and when he went to court, the judge asked him to play something and once he finished playing, the judge let him off.
Its been years and I keep coming back to this as any one should with the decency of outstanding harp playin! Keep slamming the brass ny friend i hope to hear more!
Nothings more fun than playing the blues harp with a buddy. I dabbled with the blues harp in high school, in the 70s,.....got good enough to entertain my friends at parties. I continued to play in college, and even sat in with some classmates who performed at a local tavern, performing "cover" tunes in front of audience at an open stage event. I collected & listened to a lot blues harp records, and played along learning the techniques. I had harps in almost every key. I had Blues harps & some marine band, styled ones, too. I took my inspiration from the old timer's, many who had died before I was born. Like, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, & Big Walter Horton. I saw Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee perform at my college,...in 1971,....I sat less than 6 feet away, in cozy off-campus bar, and I soaked up all their soulfulness. Bravo, young blood!
Well played guys. You got my foot tapping at 07:33 in the morning in South Africa. This is the type of outstanding music that must be appreciated and played LOUD for your neighbors. You guys are talented. Love it
Every time I watch this I want to be able to play more and more. I love all the different techniques he dose in one sitting. Very talented. Really wish I could find more solo from this guy
I love this jam session... As an inside joke between me and my wife, whenever I'm finishing up a home improvement project, she always knows I'm almost done when she hears this tune... (the stupid joke basically consist of when the guys in home improvement shows are finishing a project, there is always music playing as they wrap everything up. (Ron Hazelton often uses the harmonica blues and I commented that I needed a theme song when finishing work, thus I found this jam)) While kinda funny, I truly value the talent exhibited in this recording. Thanks for sharing
I've just bought my first harp. You're playing is a massive inspiration to me. Thank you for posting. Please post more. Kindest regards from West Yorkshire, England.
I'm going to practice for when I'm in jail
You better play good by the time you go to jail, otherwise someone is gonna ram that thing up your ass, bro.
No harmonicas in jail

There's always an asian better than you, unless you're a bald harmonica player

Imagine practicing this and playing it in a bar when Covid is over as a complete surprise to everyone present that you can now handle a harmonica.

The harmonica is never been a toy, not originally. This was an instrument played in the cotton fields
this has to be one the best harmonica pieces I've ever heard.
Amen to that… it’s just AMAZING!!! Both those guys are fantastic! But the harp guy is a Harpmeister!

I have an Harmonica and it doesn't sound like that when I play it.
Bjørn-Tore Olsen You have to have them skills bud :) or buy another harmonica depending how old it is I think.
Pratice, research, time, patience, I still need to master this fine art myself.
Either practice of many you have a different key of harmonica
what key is your harmonica
Breath in and out when you play it
I wish stuff like this was on Spotify.
Can't forget Pandora either
It is you just gotta look
You'll find a lot trust.
I don't know what you mean by stuff like this, but there's tons of blues on spotify, they even have a blues harp section.

Same! It should arrive before 3rd of May hopefully
In the same boat at the moment, mine is arriving on the 28th
God damn corona,
it had me locked inside,

God damn corona,
it made me cry inside

On my way back from the shops,
I saw my next door neighbour and gave him a high 5 so therfor i failed at social distancing,
but o well at least i tried

This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all day. And I’ve been here... all day.
Goosebumps at 2:15 every damn time. I’m pretty sure I saved this video 4+ years ago and I’m always back for more.
This song inspired me to play. Now here I am nearly a year later and I can play this haha
realy? i wanna start to play. in one year i can play this song?
João Paulo Giro Cardoso depends if you really try and practice every day :)
Do you what scale this harmonica is?
Michael Lockyer Hes a D harmonica is second position so in the key of A. Hes playing the mixolydian scale
Thanks!
i think it’s beautiful how lost he gets into it, you can tell he’s not just playing it but feeling it as well
Must’ve taken years and years to play the harmonica like this. This guys crazy good. I’ve bought one already
So, after a year of practice you must be on par with the harp player of the video I guess
Such a beautiful soulful instrument. Guitars and bass keep you moving, the harmonica really hits you inside.
its 1 am i have an exam in 12 hours, im at the point in my life where i search up harmonica solo even tho i dont have one or intend to buy one.
How’d you do on your exam?
