I owe my musical pathways to this harmonica Riff. When I was 13yrs old I heard this on a television commercial and something inside me said you need to do this…..
Many years later my harmonica skills have toured me around the world selling over 150k albums and also taught over 30k students with my 67 lessons harmonica course called ‘Press Play & Blow Away’.
HARMONICA LESSONS: juzziesmith.com/store/harmoni...
I’m so grateful to play the harmonica and would say it is one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Im still learning new licks & tricks everyday.
Feels so special to be able to share these lessons with you. I hope playing the harmonica puts a spark in your life that shines for the rest of your life.
Keep learning and having fun!

I just bought a harmonica a couple of days ago, because I sit in a forklift all night on an industrial site in Northern Canada. But, I'm not that busy. It's no place for me to bring my guitar, and I've always wanted to learn a harmonica. And if you think about it, it's pretty ridiculous that there's this weird character, in the dark, sitting in a forklift, playing a harmonica. So, I was looking around on UKposts, and I found you. Since then I've been entertaining the heck out of myself in my forklift, because I've been learning from your videos. But that's not why I'm taking the time to write a comment on here. The reason I'm writing a comment is because I want to tell you, that you're maybe one of the coolest people I've ever seen do any kind of instructional video on UKposts. Just your vibe, is so awesome. You are definitely a very rad human being!

Juzzie Smith, You are the BEST !! A good friend who played harmonica for 65 years recently passed away. He could make the instrument walk and talk, and was a joy to hear, solo, or with the many musicians he jammed with over the years. When she learned that he played harmonica, the doctor in the ICU put together a multi-hour blues harmonica play list, to help ease his passing into the next world... Bless her heart... Some time later, his friends discovered his legacy, a mini-SD card [ one-quarter the size of a postage stamp ] containing hours of his playing and jamming, material for a CD he never got to put together... OMG, What a Treasure ! His friends will be playing along at his memorial...

Thank you for showing us a very simple riff. I've been playing around with the harmonica for a couple of years and really enjoy it. I play only by ear and would love to see more of your videos on riffs for the blues. You make it easy to understand how to either draw or blow on the sound that is needed. Thank you.

Love this lick. I never could get the guitar and harmonica together. I spent the late 60s and early 70s driving across Texas at night traveling from one rodeo to the next holding the steering wheel with my knees playing country songs on the harp.

@TrainBandit Рік тому

I stumbled across this video and honestly can’t remember how I ended up here lol. I have played guitar so long it just comes naturally. So music is in my blood and I said what would be a fun add on instrument. So one day on a trip I stopped by Cracker Barrel and picked a cheap 10$ harmonica and had a lot of fun. Well I was gifted one in the key of E and had good intentions for it but I never was able to get it to do what i wanted to do with it. This video was one of those were it’s like oh it was that simple but I would never had figured it out. Great video. You did an excellent job explaining how to play. Now I wish I still had my harmonica in the hey of C lol.

@charlesbarboza8591 26 днів тому

Wow, I’ve been working with your videos to help me learn to play harmonica. I’ve been at it for about a month now and the fact that I am able to follow along with you and I’m beginning to understand your “short hand”, I’m really, really enjoying this journey. I’m a 59 year old man who has never been musically inclined and here I am actually learning how to play an instrument. I am beyond grateful for the knowledge that you have been sharing with us and I am looking forward to seeing all of your videos and eventually engaging in your classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are an Awesome Artist. Be well.

Honestly I've wanted to learn the harmonica for years as I always though it was such a cool instrument. I bought one a few months ago and kind of gave up pretty quickly when I realised how long it must take to master. However, your videos are so easy to watch and understand, and then there's how good you make them sound, you've given me a second wind to stick with it. Much love.

@aluminumshapingobsession2814 4 місяці тому

If I may suggest when starting…if you overplay your lips and mouth get tired until they “muscle up” and your lips develop “calluses”. I got frustrated at first until I got past that. 15 mins is a good start.

Thanks mate. Great story. I also loved listening to old blues and try to work out the licks and grooves by ear. Such a great skill to learn by ear. This was my main reason for creating my harmonica course ‘Press Play & Blow Away’ as I wanted to teach other so they can learn just from listening 👍 have fun learning 🎶
