1 get one good harmonica 2 play daily and focus on one thing at a time, try an instructor 3 progressively learn scales and run them everyday, test yourself, reinforce the neural pathways 4 spend a deeper session on a scale a few times a week, use a metronome or harp trainer 5 learn to improvise and get comfortable with it, put on the track and play, it’s fun 6 say yes to playing with other people, say yes to going on stage, it builds confidence 7 give yourself a challenge, learn songs above your level, pull yourself up 8 record yourself, the best way to get feedback 9 repeat all steps for weeks, months and years 10 find a way to re motivate or re invigorate your playing when needed, maybe you just need to buy some new stuff
Some great tips, Jonah. Whenever I learn a new instrument, being that I like to play and improvise by ear, I start with the 12 major scales, then arpeggios, then the blues and major blues scales. One thought, to make scales a little less tedious, is to play tunes consisting only of scale notes, like, well, Do - a deer...
@@HarmonicaRevolution thanks! Which one in the same price range would you recommend for irish jigs? (I'm looking for something repairable and long-lasting)
@@yuriythebest. If you want to play iris jigs,reels get yourself a set of paddy richter tuned harps , makes playing Irish tunes so much easier Easttop make a pretty good paddy tuned harp and about the cheapest you’ll find. Once you find the one you like you can always buy a seydel if you want to. C G A Bb. Would be my suggestions. Paddy tuning will be a big help for you. Regards. Norm

So you’re saying there’s a chance!
My first on stage experience was in Memphis with Big Lucky Carter. I will never forget it.

thanks for the video! In terms of new harps after my C (session standard) thinking of getting a G for irish jigs, will a session steel be a good fit?
I’m sure that would be fine. Personally I don’t really like them. I have a review on this channel if you want to search for it.
