THIS GOT ME STARTED!

День тому

This is such a fun groove to play! The first time I heard this was on a Levi’s Jeans commercial & it is what inspired me to play Harmonica.
Remember say it before you play it as this puts the groove into your body.
Take your time with bending as this is one of the hardest things you will learn on the harmonica.

A little practice everyday will take you a long way!
Harmonica I’m using is Juzzie Smith Blues Harmonica in key C.

Ahh Juzzie, you are the king mate! Thanks for your awesome videos! True story: At 15 years old, I was sitting in a biker bar I should not have been sitting in. I had a beat up old second hand harmonica in front of my that I had just picked up at a thrift shop. And enormous hand clapped down on my shoulder and the epitome of all that is biker stoood above me and asked me if I knew how to play. I very meakly said "no sir". He then gave me a lesson whichj was: "Go out and get yourself an old lady. When she dumps you and leaves you for another man, you pick that thing up and you will be playing the blues." Still bending those notes 35 years later!

Just got a harmonica, loving these lessons. For regular guitar if I got this right (just the sliding part), I believe you can play the G and B strings open (G chord), then slide on G and B strings from 3rd fret (B flat) to 5th fret (C), then back to the open G and B. Or you can play a power chord on the 3rd fret (G) (root note on low E) and slide that shape from the 6th fret (B flat) to the 8th fret (C) and back to the 3rd fret (G). I'm no musician, so take that as a disclaimer.

Hello Juzzie, I'm Samet, a follower from Turkey. What I want to ask you is that I decided to play my harmonica that I bought a few months ago. I'm very new to this, but I can feel its rhythm and flow with the instrument even from here, thank you for these beautiful lessons. What I want to ask you is, even though I do whatever you tell me to do on the C harmonica, I always have problems with the tone and output. Is there a trick to this?

Hi Samet, You might need a better quality harmonica. Just focus on relaxing throat for tone. Start slow and with practice you will get better. Have fun!

Hi Juzzie, when using a rack, does this alter where the harmonica sits in your lips? I find its near impossible to get the harmonica to sit right back into my lips as it does when hand holding. Is this something that just takes practice to get right, or you need to compromise your embouchure when in a rack?
