ATTENTION K-Mart shoppers. This video is a bit OLD. Circa 2003-2004 If you haven't checked lately, Mr. Ricci is rated as one of the BEST harp players in the WORLD these days. Try searching JASON RICCI and sort by NEWEST and I think you'll see a slight change in the past 5 years. What's with all the Hating anyway? These videos helped me GREATLY in learning the Harp. I've been playing just under 1 year and am already fronting my band playing MS Sax. If u don't like the vids you don't gotta watch
Went through this third video and dang you helped me a lot. Other videos aren't as instructive but you helped me get what I refer to as the 'wah' notes, and though I'm not ready to get some of the intricate note progressions you have shown me, I'm much more confident. I've watched a lot of videos from professionals and it's hard to believe you're so young and so professional. I'm ready to stop being a hack and you're going to help.
Hi Jason, I`ve watched all your videos and I swear, I`ve never heard playing like this (although I`ve heard Sugar Blue and Howard Levy`s playing). Thanks from Bulgaria. Waiting for your next video.
hi jasonricci thx for the lessons, it's help me a lot to learn bending notes, i have really toruble with them. Can i ask something?, just for me keep training, off course is i am not askinf to much, hehe can you pass the tablature from the musics you played from time: 7:20'' that's pretty cool Thank you!
Too bad you never released this, I would have bought it. I think the best tips you have are bending into notes and making the great point about call and response in 2 octaves. Definately a trademark move of yours :p
Hi Jason: I can now, bend the one-hole via the eeh-ooh approach. I can do this consistently. But moving on to the two-hole, I can't find a bend to save my life. Should the eeh-ooh technique work equally well on all bendable draw notes? BTW, thanks for the great effort you have made in all of your videos!
Hey Charles! Good job on the 1 hole! The short answer is yess the eeh ooooh thing will work on all the wholes. The good news is the problem your'e having is very common! The 1 hole REED is actually harder to bend than the 2 hole so why is everyone bending it more easily than than the 1 hole??? I would wager that the reason the 1 hole is easiest for you is that: on the left side of the harmonica there is NOT another whole lower than 1. This makes it easier for you to concentrate your air into just the 1 hole as you are not suffering any air loss on a neighboring hole or holes. So I think the problem may very well be just having a comfortable embrochure that is usually just developed with lots of practice. Try just getting a clean, loud, controlled pitch out of the 2 hole using either with a tongue blocked technique or a lip pursing technique. I'm hoping the better you get at playing singler notes clean, clear and loudly with some force the easier the bends will be. Thank you for watching and congrats on your progress so far!
Don't understand. I'm using tongue blocking and can't move my tongue to bend the node, or I will start to play more than one holes... Or do you switch to lip pursing when you want to bend? Thanks!
I still don't getting it! Everybody says "you need to use your tongue to make the air to go down" and other helpless things, and what does it means?! Thanks :P
Can someone explain to me why if a guitar is playing in the key of E a harmonica in the key of A sounds so good? Would an Am harmonica work for a tune in the key of Em? Thanks for your time! Thanks
so a draw is if u inhale and a blow is if you breath out. so draw 2 means your on the second hole breathing in. am i right or do i got it all wrong. can someone pls explain me all these terms i am new with the harmonica. overblow? 2 draw? I really would apreciate it if someone can give me a link of a site with explanations and hints about the harmonica.
hahaha, rocket881's a/c closed. No wonder..he either finally saw a few of Jason's videos with New Blood and realized he'd made a complete idiot out of himself here..or he's the same hater who's changed names a few times on other of J's vids. No loss. What a fool. FTR, Jason Ricci: nominated yet again for BMA award as harmonica player of the year. Done with the Devil (Latest CD) nominated as best Album.The band just came off the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise where they ROCKED! :)

This is a great lesson on bending Jason. Many thanks again from the U.K.
For anyone struggling to work out what bends hes playing you can tell from his eyebrows.
Great video, best lessons ive found on youtube so far!
😂
Internet: "I don't need to learn overblows, I'm a Blues player."
John Popper: "Hmm, let me hold that harp for you."
How have I not seen this yet? You're a great teacher Jason, but I also hate you for being such a musical genius.
Thanks for uploading this man.
try this; tilt the harmonica towards you and draw at the same time, you will hear the air flow slow down thus lowering the tone.
I hope this helps
You two should start a double harp band called "Gageway"n you guys are my favorite contributors to this forum by far!

so if you are right handed you hold it with your left and cup with you right?

Great video, this helped me alot. And your shirt is awesome too.

Or do you switch to lip pursing when you want to bend?
Thanks!
Gracias man
El vidente te ara ver y oír cosas tal vez pero yo no le digo el zolo lo hace abrazo
El vidente quiere vivir de la armonica pero no hace ningún juego más que kk de vaca
Por que yo lo descubrí hace year old te trato de gir y yo te defendi p f
Y el va a tomar cualquier persona Para copiar
Por que tiene persona que le imitan a los demás abrazo besos a alguna rubia de ojos azules
I still don't getting it! Everybody says "you need to use your tongue to make the air to go down" and other helpless things, and what does it means?!
Thanks :P
bending = important. . . understatement indeed.
Can someone explain to me why if a guitar is playing in the key of E a harmonica in the key of A sounds so good? Would an Am harmonica work for a tune in the key of Em?
Thanks for your time!
Thanks
nice shirt
Anybody knows why my one draw (E harp) bends a whole step? According to him it should only do half. Or does it depend on what tone it is?
Thanks
so a draw is if u inhale and a blow is if you breath out.
so draw 2 means your on the second hole breathing in.
am i right or do i got it all wrong.
can someone pls explain me all these terms i am new with the harmonica.
overblow?
2 draw?
I really would apreciate it if someone can give me a link of a site with explanations and hints about the harmonica.
I have a C Big River Harp, but I can't bend anything like you do!!! Please, help!!!
You Guys rules!
hey can i bend notes on a chromatic one...
just curious how old were you when you started to play harmonica?
Like , share and subscribe. Thank you.
mmmkaaay... nice video.. helped me a lot!! :)
Excellent advice.🐈🐈🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛93
tongue blocking requires a different approach to bend.
Opening up your throat a little more will mellow out your sound. JC

this video got me high
Yo no le faltó el respeto a nadie thekz
Mmmmm kay? It must be pretty tuff dumbing your natural talents down to explain them to the novice. It almost seems like your holding back.
