After watching 20 Bend videos this one got me there. Your suggestion to do the reverse whistle technique worked.

Over 60 and just started to learn with a really good teacher but these vids and tips really helped me a lot so far. I like the no nonsense and practical way you share your ‘secrets’. Great work! Keep on going. Thanks! Belgium is watching ;)

Damn - been playing for several years now - and having a very bad time with bending. Your first technique just worked - possibly helped by all the attempts before - but hells, it worked for me. Now maybe I can start playing some of the blues I have to go to my strat for!

Yo, I did it at draw like hell! 🤣 It was the click I needed to get that straw sucking feeling. I used a tuner and it seems I can bend the 3 draw a whole step, but still struggling to get the 4 draw right. Thanks for helping me break the ice.

One tip I heard that helped me get a change in pitch was tilting the front of the harmonica( that's in your mouth) down towards the floor and the other side goes up about 45 °. Yeah and I got my first bend on a G Hohner special 20, which is a pretty good one.

What I remember advising was capyure a single hole, and while drawing, lower the lower jaw.

great video as usual, who is playing the harmonica in the background ? please do you have the tabs? or a reference ? Thank you !

Learning harmonica is NOT like learning castinets...not one of the suggestions worked. Thought this would be easy, like in bending a guitar string (more mechanical).

Any free options to harpninja? I know this harmonica tuner app for android that is free, wanted to know how much better harpninja would be :) Great lessons man, I've subscribed to your channel some time ago and always watch your lessons.

@HarmonicaRevolution 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah! You really don’t need a fancy tuner. Any chromatic tuner will do, there are apps and physical ones. It won’t show you a harmonica diagram, of course. But, you can reference a note chart so you will know that note you are aiming for so you can get it in tune while using the tuner.

When I try bending on my A & G harps they seem to get really airy ( definitely technique not harps im using Crossovers)

I am having trouble with 10 hole blow bending on a C harp - I can get the 8 and 9, but on the 10 can't seem to get any leverage to even begin a bend to the B and Bb. Any thoughts?

M8 I have a problem please. Is there anyone out there playing without teeth? As I actually doesn’t have one lol. Found it straggling to follow some advice as u use your mouth differently how ever I’m not giving up or using my denatures either prepared to walk the hard way. Any advice tips or hints please do thx

@HarmonicaRevolution Жыл бұрын

I don’t use my teeth at all. Not sure how missing them impacts things, but I imagine the change is minor

Oh man, I have the exactly opposite experience. The lower the key is the harder it is to bend. C is easy for me, A is so so and G I must really try and the bends are not so clean...

@wadenoble3333 3 жыл бұрын

This may not be the case for you...but every person I’ve ever spoken to or heard from about bending says the opposite of you . As in A’s and G’s much harder than a c to bend on, I find it 1000% easier bending on a c than I do a G or A

@HarmonicaRevolution 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I realized that this wasn’t the case for most folks after I published this. It was definitely was better for me, I think it was because the motions that I was doing took a little less nuance, it just came easier on a G. I also am a tongue block player, that might have something to do with it.

@@HarmonicaRevolution I’m an intermediate player and haven’t really explored tongue blocking yet - that could be it, or part of it. Thanks for taking time to reply
