The man's a genius with a harmonica pure and simple .He literally played times from all around the world including Ireland my country and as a dedicated follower of music He sounded like as if he was a native of that country when he played their respective songs .USA I'm sure is proud of buddy Greene 👏👏👏👏
Certainly one of the greats of his generation. He pointed out he's stood on the shoulders of those that came before. Charlie McCoy has said that Little Walter, Sonny Terry & Sonny Boy Williamson II (King Biscuit Flower Hour) influenced him as well.
After more than 60 years playing guitar (and in bars like Buddy described) my fingers just won't work anymore. My daughter (a very talented musician) said why don't you try the harmonica? I did, about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I just played Buddy's Carnagie Hall performance and said "I want that". Ok I know that's not real but I've been working on this damn thing for a few week and I think I have another career out there, if I live another 30 or forty years.
Amazing musician! Been listening to Buddy Greene for over 30 yrs. Love his songs a lot. He also is a very good singer and a prolific writer. He put the music to the awesome song Mark Lowry wrote titled Mary Did You Know.
How could you not luuuuuuuv!! Buddddeee!.Greeeeeeeeene!😊😊I love Buddy w Bill Gaither at Carnegie Hall when Buddy tells Bill Gaither "I've been waiting for this moment all my life! I need you to stand back a little..." Then plays "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"...Buddy needs to train about 5,000 new Grade School and Tweens and Teens how to play Harmonica!! What Buddy Greene does IS ON A WHOLE NOTHER NIVEL...LEVEL!! He's like the guys in the 1980's playing video games on a computer who have maxed out the capacity of the Commodore 64 or Apple 2E...with a 1541 5.25" floppy disk and a joy stick...and the computer is going bonkers...not knowing how to challenge the player any further!!😊😊😊😊
When he played Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing at the end I immediately startet to cry, although I just listened to this video at the side while I was packing my backpack. It just hit me. Great man.
I freaking lost it when he played La Cucaracha 🤣 I really love that he stuck with diatonic instead of using Chromatic like all the other virtuoso types.
Been playing since I was a kid. "Always carry a harp in your pocket! ".There's more,listen to masters, take lessons, watch tutorials. Time and practice are king,love music. JW
Thank you dear Buddy! You are a blessing! A girlfriend gifted me your cd/ DVD set. I'm encouraged to not forgive up playing on my lil harps. Humble beginnings.
I have heard many of these professionals speech, and that talent comes from years of dedicated practice. Most people can achieve a high level if they just put in the time and work.
when I play harmonicas I wind up a little bit whirly from hyperventilation - this fellla comes right back on track with his enthusiastic commentary and explanation -Truly remarkable !!! 🙃
Always inspiring and awesome. I thank you for your many encouraging emails years ago, before i ever knew you were a big star. You were so kind, thank you.
WOW ! I have been watching you for a while now and you are right up there with a few other people I watch. Your Orange Blossom Special really gets my foot taping. I have been trying to play for a few years now and still not good. I wish you the best my friend and I will keep listening to you. Doug Hornick
Buddy Greene is easily in the top 5 Best HARMONICA players in the World...In my opinion, Buddy is the world's # 1 (One!) Best Player by several standards of SKILL and TALENT: 1. Best Public Performer 2. Super Polite, Courteous, Friendly and Good With Public Audiences 3. Buddy Greene LOVES JESUS CHRIST and plays with Bill and Gloria Gaither. My favorite songs are: (a.) Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (b.) What Can Wash Away My Sin and many others...I am a HARMONICA player also. I play a Hohner. I play over 400 of the 600 Most Popular Christian Hymns by ear. My Harmonica has two keys "G" and "C" on opposite sides of the instrument.
I’m a female harp player and I absolutely LOVE this video!! I play gospel hymns to the honor and glory of Almighty God. Bless you Buddy Greene, my brother-in-Christ. What an amazing grace-gift. HALLELUJAH!!
Edna Walker; ME TOO! Been playing harp for about 35 yrs. I play gospel Blues and many different styles. Love glorifying my Lord & Savior Yeshua. To Yeshua be all the glory, honor and praise to him! Shalom sister in Christ!
Your read on thangs slow says alot about where you live with that cabeza coconitis you have to carry around allll day, every day! Dude, dudett, dud or..... how you goin to show when you finally know the difference between whats fleece and whats fur? Cuz right now, you ain't got a clue.
@@KGPetrea I know, Greene is such a master but also a scholar and carries tremendous oral history for this instrument. I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter but started off as a Blues harmonica player going on to Blue Grass, Rock, Funk, Latin and Reggae. I still blow harp but never managed to achieve the kind chops of a Buddy Greene. I've listened to him so many times over the years yet he always blows me away, captivates my mind and steals the heart. He's a Giant and beautiful soul. Go well.
He plays classical musical on harp, he is awesome. Harmonica worship, play your harp in public people love it JUST DO IT you will be surprised, keep it up.

It doesn't get any better than this amazing musician!
This man is a Jewl to the world, I am a shy harmonica player, but this man has encouraged me through his utube channel to push myself out there
He is the best in the world.
Here here..🙏
What's his channel?! >:o
A very moving and inspiring finale, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing".
He is phenomenal on the harmonica. Better than anyone I've heard in a rock band, country music, bluegrass, etc.
please listen to Little Walter, King Biscuit Boy & Dr. Ross
Certainly one of the greats of his generation. He pointed out he's stood on the shoulders of those that came before. Charlie McCoy has said that Little Walter, Sonny Terry & Sonny Boy Williamson II (King Biscuit Flower Hour) influenced him as well.
Maestro virtuoso
Charlie McCoy was playing in Nashville and making LP’s and backing the big stars then. That was before the internet though. 😉
Wow The ultimate one man band

Sheer genius - Benny makes it seem so easy!
When he played Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing at the end I immediately startet to cry, although I just listened to this video at the side while I was packing my backpack. It just hit me. Great man.
What a variety of styles and tricks with that little companion...harmonica 🎉
Have followed Buddy lots of years. In my book the best all around harp player. A big influence on me and my playing.
I freaking lost it when he played La Cucaracha 🤣 I really love that he stuck with diatonic instead of using Chromatic like all the other virtuoso types.
I FEEL VERY HONORED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU PLAY THANK YOU SR. GOD BLESS!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Le plus grand de tous les joueurs d'harmonica...
Joy that music brings to ones heart .
Simply excellent...!
His performance at Carnegie Hall inspired me to pick up the harmonica. :)
Yep, then it discourages me immediately there after.
(you'll never play like that) thanks me for the encouragement.
That same performance also inspired me to pick up the harmonica as well.
Been playing since I was a kid. "Always carry a harp in your pocket! ".There's more,listen to masters, take lessons, watch tutorials. Time and practice are king,love music. JW
@@Jawsjawsjawsrg I'd feel I'm making progress if I even pick mine up.
@@soslothful forgive me, the perfectionists in me makes it difficult.
I play harmonica, but nothing like Buddy! He is the best! Wow!
Thank you dear Buddy! You are a blessing! A girlfriend gifted me your cd/ DVD set. I'm encouraged to not forgive up playing on my lil harps. Humble beginnings.
Wonderful video, Buddy! I've watched many of your performances on the Web. Keep it up. What a wonderful blessing for us. God bless you.
This is phenomenal
Buddy is so very talented
What an extremely humble human being with an amazing musical talant. Loved the person and the presentation!!!
YES!!!
I have been playing the Harmonica for over 20 years, and when I here Buddy Greene play I feel like a little kid slobbering on a cheap plastic toy.
Totally agree !!

I LOVE HIM BEST PLAYER EVER LIKE THAT HAMONIKA
Buddy es lo máximo. Y tiene una gran capacidad para transmitir los sentimientos más profundos.
Молодец!!! Браво! Я восхищён огромной любовью к музыке
Beautiful, is all I can say!!
Love from India. Heard his sojourners song first in 1996.
Great guy and a great player!
Thanks for your testimony.
You're a great inspiration to me!
He's one of the best.
Always inspiring and awesome. I thank you for your many encouraging emails years ago, before i ever knew you were a big star. You were so kind, thank you.
You are the Best!! Very nice! Gostei muito da sua apresentacao! Voce e´um grande talento!!
The myth, the man, the legend.
Bloom where you are planted. If in the palace of Kings, bring the King of Kings. If among the common men, bring the One Who lifts us up.
So fun, so much talent!
Great presentation Buddy! Love ya, bro! Age
Fantastic Fascinating Lovely

Este vai ser lenda!!
Met Buddy in Arizona where I played and also taught beginning Harmonica.nice guy
GENIUS
Just WOW!!!
He’s the best
Wat een talent!!!! 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
Ongelofelijk hè?
Impressive. Does he play a standard diatonic harmonica or is it customized/modified in some way?
I would have blisters on my lips. Awesome.
Does someone know which tuning he uses for the tango one?
What movie scores did he play for?
Super
I've been trying harp 50 years. No chance at all. This is the real thing.
Keep tryin'.
@@BenDowdy everyday
Could someone help out with the title of the piece from around 17:22?
That’s the way to bend them!😂❤
We had a similar story mine took place from Plano Texas
Fringes on insanely talented!
Indeed
fantastico.
Genial ich würde es gerne lernen,so herrlich
The best player ever!
He's in the best players but he's not the best player.
It would be interesting to know which harmonica Mr. Greene plays. And, "The Flying Beatles", I like that.
Mr. Greene’s main harmonica is a hohner “golden melody”. Usually favors the key of C, but his little suitcase has every key harmonica and then some 😊
Dios mio q fineza de sonidos, es un genio
"The best thing harmonica players have going for them is peoples' low expectations..." yes, and chops like yours!!
Your read on thangs slow says alot about where you live with that cabeza coconitis you have to carry around allll day, every day!

Au moment où je visionne cette vidéo, je constate que 15 personnes ont "disliké". Je ne comprends vraiment pas. Respects Monsieur Buddy Green.
He plays classical musical on harp, he is awesome. Harmonica worship, play your harp in public people love it JUST DO IT you will be surprised, keep it up.
When he sang in the end 😢
Ostia nunca le oi tocando una cromatica.
THIELEMANS!!!
He's "har-money" with that harmonica
赞美！
4:40 Please somebody confirm that that's where the famous knock sound comes from??? OMG!!
If there is a list of the best 5 players on the planet and his names not there they need to make a new list.Thank you Mr Guy
im starting on harmonica. Wish me a luck
It’s ten months later. Did you stick with it?
What's the model of his harmonica at 0:12 ?
Hohner Marine Band
He plays what should be impossible to play...
orange blossom special 9:22
Which harmonica he used?
He uses the Diatonic Harmônica, usually the C model.
hard earned applause...what a stuffy audience.
720p video, 8K show!
마이클잭슨보다 난 이분이 최고의 음악 예술가라고 본다
Nunca vai ser apenas futebol...
Des joueurs français en exitent ils si oui j'aimerai les écouter merci
They seem to be a hard audience.
Toca temas q no.se. como puede "respirarlos"
Santa played a song with Sleey John Estes over 50 years ago and his partner, Hammie Nixon, encouraged him to continue. th-cam.com/video/S_gNXeBy1P4/w-d-xo.html
One thing I found is if i play harmonica with mustache it will pull my mustache hair, not very nice 😂
15:15 Bach
wow, what an unappreciative audience!!
He's plays the same 3 or 4 tunes in every video....
