Dude just found your tutorials and as not a natural me, I've so far found them sooooooo straight forward! I was close to giving up my learning amigo! Gracias God bless
Hey mate ,I've just picked up the Harp after 30 years, had a go of it in my twenties, but didn't put in the practice and consequently I was shit, , decided to buy a Hohner Pro Harp after seeing you on TH-cam. , you are a fantastic teacher and I'm absolutely, loving learning it basically from scratch again. Love this short tune and finally can play it from start to finish. I didn't think I had a musical bone in my body. Thank you.
Please dont stop making this videos, your channel is the main thing, of all the youtube channels and books, that is keeping me confident on one day being a good harmonica player!
@@johnstimpsonjr Not really, found more joy in the guitar. Turns out most music I listened to were guitar music and most of my friends can play it as well. So it is just more in my reality :)
Hi I'm a guitar player recovering from a broken wrist going nuts because I can't even hold a guitar right now. (It's been two months!) I have owned a few harmonicas for about 20 years without ever learning how to play until I found your videos. Great teaching. You have saved my sanity! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos! Initially I thought I could get away with just playing to music, but I am learning much more from watching and following your lead in these great videos. Can’t wait till I can start jamming without music, thus creating my own music, all thanks to you!
some days ago I bought a blues harp. Although your explication ist a bit difficult for me I like it. The melody ist nice and you do a good job. thanks and greetings from Germany
Hi, I am 59 years old and have just started learning the Harmonica over the past 2 months. Firstly, thank you for all of your help on TH-cam. I have found that your lessons are the easiest for me to follow and learn. I have made some good progress and really appreciate your videos. I have tried to download the tab and audio clips from this lesson a few times. Firstly it didn't work at all and then it gave me a tab that is different from the one in your lesson and backing tracks. I would really like to get hold of the tab and backing tracks for this lesson if you can help. Again, appreciate any help with getting the information.
I’m 32 starting harmonica and I tell ya what these lessons you teach I feel like I’m moving quite along . I haven’t put my harmonica down yet today lol thanks
Awesome! I really needed something easy to play. You're a great teacher! I'm just beginning my harmonica journey! Thank you for your simple instructions and fir posting videos weekly! JoyRoy 😅
Ah just discovered something. When just a beginner, even though one has an idea of how to read music, concentration on the harp means one needs Tomlin playing along in order to even get close. Still, sooner or later I hope to reach the point when the tabs alone should suffice.
Going to learn the easy 12 bar blues, playing in time, something I find extremely difficult. Started when you first released 28 days practice. Cheers Tomlin.
Spent the last 8 months playing guitar incessantly… and thought I’d try this tutorial this morning… was pleasantly shocked that I could still find my embouchure and the holes - as someone I know has asked me to teach them how to play! That typo though….
Hi, great tutorial. I'm loving it thus far. Could you please explain why when we have 1 draw, 2 blow and then 2 draw 2 draw. Shouldn't that be a 1 draw , 1 draw at the end? The note location is a D on your sheet, but the two draw on a C harmonica is a G. Sorry, If I'm confused.
I'm so thankfull to you!I'm so happy that i'am more then begginer!:DBig thumb up for your video!None making good lip harmonica tutorial videos like you!
Just found you Tomlin and immediately I'm impressed. I've registered as an advanced beginner. I've watched quite a few other 'teachers' and they manage to make it look and sound difficult rather than fun. You do the opposite - great! I like the plane background to your set and your presentation style. The Roman Numerals on the tab sheets has got me puzzled though!
You make it look so easy! Im sorry if this question is just plain stupid, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I understand - I think - that playing in G on a C harmonica implies second position, and that second position starts at 2 draw. On the tab, however, when the first note (for example) identifies 1 draw, is that the first physical hole on the harmonica or the first hole relative to the start position (in this case physical hole 2)? So the first four notes of this tab are actually physical holes 2, 3, 3, 3?
I can't download the tab and resources for this video. I know it's not current but maybe you could come back and fix it. Sounds excellent. Guess I'll get my pen out and hand copy, cuz it seems like just what I'm looking for. Thanks!
Is it normal for people to have trouble with the first hole draw? I got a handle on the second hole draw thanks to your other video but I can't seem to get a good short note out of the first one? Any tips or just practice? Thanks for your videos !
Hi Bill. Maybe you could check your spam, or the other folders of Gmail like "promotions, updates, social, etc." Sometimes my email skips the inbox and go straight to one of those folders. :)
@@TomlinHarmonica none of those have worked.... have searched "all mail" ..........nothing. Have rechecked email many times...... I get none from any lesson. That leads me to believe there is something on my end.....but, I have added your email to addresses.... should keep it from going to spam..... virus protection?
hello Tom you have great channel very helpfull for us begginers. I have a question; I ve exercised to isolate the notes and is ok but I don t know why the hole 2 blow and draw still sound like cotton inside. actually never sounds good since I ve bought this harmonica. I start to think that is defected. do you have any ideas to check it? my harmonica is a hohner silver star.
It's not broken m8, i think everybody had this problem while starting out. Pinch your nose closed and then blow/draw on 2 hole. Probably sounds fine then
Não entendi uma coisa , a os 2.08 minutos do video , vc desenha no pentagrama as notas Ré (d) e toca a nota sol no 2 aspirado ? Não entendi isso deve ser erro de imp-ressão ? Abração
Sir, can you please number the lessons because i can't able to know which video i should watch in an order to learn harmonica. I don't know how to play also..so please number the videos as iam a very beginner.
I'm still trying to get around whats a bar and why is there 12 of them? One day I'll get it. Reminds me of this joke I wrote: Here's what I know about the 12 bar blues - Start off at the first bar and have a beer at each bar. By the time you get to bar 12, you'll have the blues cus you'll be Drunk!
Thanks this is really helpful! But the notes in the bar below are not always accurate. The numbers and draw/blow are good but not the notes. Like at the start, you play re me sol sol, but the bar shows re mi re re, ...

Awesome, thanks
No problem Shawn!
Hey Tomlin! Great content!
I've tried to download the tab using the link but I'm getting a different tab on the pdf. :(
Can you please update it?
Wonderful lesson. Is the tab free to download? ?
Unfortunately I can not find the backing track on your site.
Can you get that?
Greetings from German
Great! Unfortunately I can't download the tabs, but maybe I am clumsy :)
I'm sorry to hear that - fire me an email to support@tomlinharmonicalessons.com letting me know which tab you want and I'll send it through to you.
cool thanks
Thanks Charlie :-)
Is it normal for people to have trouble with the first hole draw? I got a handle on the second hole draw thanks to your other video but I can't seem to get a good short note out of the first one? Any tips or just practice? Thanks for your videos !

I must be missing something but the tab I download from the link does not match what you show on the video.
Otherwise, great video 👍

Sir, can you please number the lessons because i can't able to know which video i should watch in an order to learn harmonica. I don't know how to play also..so please number the videos as iam a very beginner.
Hello, there is three wrong notes on the tab : the very first notes I hear are : DEGG then : BCBEGG
Thank's for the good work
Hi Lecture de la Bible. Apologies for the mistake - well spotted. There are some typos in my early lessons. Things have improved since then. :-)
How many beats is the rest and how do you read that. Your prices are in pounds or euro for lessons etc
Great Lesson. where can I find the backing track ?
Hi there. You can download the lesson materials here - www.tomlinharmonicalessons.com/12-bar-shuffle-blues-beginners-harmonica/
Hi Tomlin ,cant download tabs
How can I find this backing track?
Can I bend the notes on my superchromonica 270 deluxe?

Oops the problem was the emails are being put into Spam. Strange as ive been with Tom and receiving email for a long time now, Thanks!
i got the special hohner 20 key of c but it dosent sound anything like yours. which one do you have?
Thanks this is really helpful!
But the notes in the bar below are not always accurate. The numbers and draw/blow are good but not the notes. Like at the start, you play re me sol sol, but the bar shows re mi re re, ...
You should have shown [IV] in the 3d tab.
How can a 2 draw be 3 different notes at once?
How can the 2 draw be a (d) and than the 2 draw is (a) ???
Noice!
