Thank You From the comments, your replies show that you care about those wanting to learn and that's awesome. I've ordered a Key of C harmonica and will come back here to learn Thank You Again for caring, You're Awesome !!!
Indeed I do :) I just wish that I could make these faster so that I can get round to making the requests I've had :p The key of C is good, probably because I play the piano as well and it's the easiest key to play anything in... glad you liked it!
I eventually found my harmonica and it was indeed a C Harmonica. I really struggle to learn stuff so I bought a copy of FastForward Harmonica Book One as it looks as if it was written by our man Kerin - ie completely user friendly, simplified yet informative and very concise (NO waffle)! I'll probably follow this up with Aussie publisher Koala Books' Progressive Blues Harmonica volume as I'm basically unteachable!
Thank you so very much for this video. This is the first song I will learn on my new harmonica, just in time for the holidays, and my mother's favorite song!
Thank you! Will do! Every December I do a bunch of fresh carols, particularly traditional ones, I don't like that the traditional meaning of Christmas has been overshadowed by snow and Santa!
OMG THANKU SO MUCH! I SPENT 2 DAYS WATCHING THIS ONE VIDEO AND IT REALLY TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO IT! I AM GOING TO SURPRISE MY MUM ON CHRISTMAS BY PLAYING THIS SONG! THANKU SO MUCH UR A LIFE SAVER!!!
I'm enjoying your tutorials for harmonica, I'm learning a lot,I'm looking to get a worship song like you do them here,it called, on Christ the solid rock I stand, I love your teaching, Ben.
I just got a harmonica yesterday and this is my first song. I'm taking a very short e-course (2 min. lessons each for 30 days), but in the midst I find this. Just a few minutes in and I'm literally playing the song. So clearly and easily explained. Now, to memorize the final portion of this song! Thanks!
+August Keummel wow what an articulate individual, thanks for gracing my channel with your enthusiastic critiques. Well done for being undoubtedly the most vocal commentator today. I hope you have a fantastic day and that berating me gave you the thrill you were after. By the way my singing does suck but at least I'm getting my Google cheque at the end of the month:)
Great can't wait to get my c Horner Marine harmonica tomorrow I actually paid extra money to get it in a day I've been playing guitar for 20 years but my back can't handle it no more
After impulsively buying a harmonica cause "uuh look harmonica", and then watching your video to find out that i didnt invent anything new when i breathe into the harmonica and generate different sounds, im now one step closer to becoming the artist i never dreamed of. It's been a really weird 12 months, hasnt it?
Still in the process of learning it from your video but I can't be more grateful for one of the simplest learning experiences. Straight to the point love it!
154 dislikes, *REALLY* - why??? My partner got me a harmonica today, I want to learn this tune and play it to her tomorrow or the day after. *5 minutes earlier and 37 seconds into watching this video:* What the hell, you can blow and suck, well I never knew that. I've been blowing the thing for the last 10 minutes thinking that I'm somehow missing some notes. Thank you for this absolutely great video Kerin :-)
+Pete Simpson thanks Pete, that means a lot! The worst thing about dislikes is the lack of actual feedback :p I pretend that most of them are trolls! Good luck with the harmonica here on in:)
Don't worry, the way the harmonica is designed means it won't matter if you blow into the holes on either side of the note you are trying to play, not usually anyway.
Thank You a lot Kerin Gedge You help me a lot to pick up my harmonica, that I only bought yearssssago. I am Your new student, and eager to learn how to play someday. Its a big help as a beginner. Very simple and it explains everything perfectly, thank you for this tutorial. Help a lot!
And here we are a year later and still enduring quarantines... my own city, Auckland, has been in lockdown for the past 8 weeks, and it's not looking like it will end soon! You must be a harmonica pro by now? :p
+Phoenix Daleboudt it's definitely a learned skill, the link in my description will take you to a channel that has a video on tips for that... When starting out though it doesn't matter too much if you blow a little into the neighbouring holes as they will harmonise with the tune your playing:)
About a year, there's still a lot I don't know, which is why I only do very basic lessons. I'm good at figuring out how to play tunes but not so good and performing them:p
+Alexandria Price I find it a lot easier to make single notes now, it's really tricky at first but again it comes with practice... Try turning you harmonica sideways for a while, that's how I taught myself to make single notes at first
Thank you so much...I'll play this by the time Christmas gets here,its auguat 13 now...giving myself all kinds of times thanks for sharing.You have a new sub and a like
My best advice would be practice! You're lungs need to get used to it and that will only come with time... but visit Learntheharmonica.com, he might have some tips for you :)
This tutorial is brilliant. Funny fact is, I went through so many chromatic videos to learn my chromatic one, but to no avail. I followed your diatonic steps and learnt to play the tune on my chromatic Harmonica. Thank You so much Mister. Greatly appreciate your help. Can you please do the tune for Once upon a time in the West?
Thankyou! I'm glad to hear you could still follow it, I have no experience with a chromatic Harmonica, are they very different? I'll put Once upon a time in the West on my list but I have to warn you it's a long list :p
Yes, the chromatic Harmonica i am using has 24 holes and a small button on right to push. I don't know how to use it, But I loved following your video. I hope so you reach to my request on your list VERY soon. God bless you. :)
The video is very easy to understand , thank you so much . Can you make more tutorials for harmonica instruments with different types of songs. Especially from titanic - my heart will go on .❤❤❤
My favourite so far is a Hohner Marine Band, they're very nice... start with a ten holed one probably in the key of C or G... if you know anything about the piano then C is easy because you can work out the tunes on the piano first without using sharps or flats... but to be honest the key doesn't matter so much when you're learning I think because the song is played the same using the same holes on any key that your harmonica is in...

Kerin Gedge aren’t there others that play similar to that one and are cheaper? Mine is a Swan Golden Coloured harmonica that costed $6.00
Yep there are but I have found the cheaper ones to be a bit disappointing, particularly if you want to play them with other tuned instruments...
Stop making fun of silent night
Who's making fun of Silent Night?
April fools no 1s making fun of it I love 2 play the harmonica srry man if u got sad I told u yesterday since it was April fools day gocha
Two weeks quarantine in march and what do I do? Learning a Christmas Song on the harmonica. Thanks Corona

Lol ikr I stole my little brothers harmonica, and it turns out I'm not that bad with being in band I have a good rythmical feel and know how to adjust

Good luck!
I'm very glad you liked it, thanks!
I’m sure he still likes it
I hope he still likes it.
I didn't even realize a harmonica played different pitches between an inhale and exhale...
+idabomb00 it's a strange concept to beginners, but after a while you get used to it:)
I had a vague inkling of this myself but no #@%©! ever thought to demonstrate this ever so slightly vital bloomin' concept before this helpful chap Kerin Gedge thought that it might be fairly useful for beginners!
:)
Brah
Me neither 😂
Thank you for the tutorial. This is the easiest to understand so far.
This is the only song that I know...
I’m terrorizing my patents with it.
LOVE u bro, Thanks a lot!❤️👏🏻

It's been a really weird 12 months, hasnt it?
Certainly has! How is your harmonica journey going now?
@@KerinGedge our neighbors asked us to learn the theory before we try to practice 😂 so it's going *somewhere* just not towards concerts
Were you playing so loudly it upset your neighbors??
Waow, wonderful. This worked. Awesome easy lesson. Thank you.
Thanks mate, really glad you liked it!
you explain better than anyone i know on yourube
Wow that's nice if you to say! Means a lot:)
Maybe it would be really nice to play this in front of a burning campfire..
Yeah that would be pretty sweet! Maybe next Christmas!
This is worth for me rather than doing nothing in house on quarantine
Hope your quarantine is over!
This tutorial is great. If I practice everyday I'll get it right.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your practice!

Thanks mate, hope you do! :)
Kerin Gedge What type of harmonica should I personally buy that most songs are in?
My favourite so far is a Hohner Marine Band, they're very nice... start with a ten holed one probably in the key of C or G... if you know anything about the piano then C is easy because you can work out the tunes on the piano first without using sharps or flats... but to be honest the key doesn't matter so much when you're learning I think because the song is played the same using the same holes on any key that your harmonica is in...
Kerin Gedge u u o
I love the lesson keep them coming and i wanting learn.. you tutorial is amazing ....Thank You
