Hi Kerin, thank you so much for making this amazing wealth available to Harmonica Enthusiasts. I've been playing The Amazing Grace and the Silent Night for the Local Nursing Home Neighbors and churches for the past 20 yrs. with almost no lessons or understanding of how it works. But, by the Grace of God, it's been coming out. And, amazingly, my audiences, especially the elderly and other shut in and lonely people always seem to love it! Now, thanks to you, I understand my harmonica much better, and maybe able to add a bunch of new songs to my repertoire. I was looking for something like these lessons for all these yrs., thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you're helping many, judging by the number of replies. And I know that there are probably many others like me who will be able to share and spread the joy, and that's Priceless! God's Blessings |:D

My great grandpa past away last year, and he was very, very well known for his harmonica skills (amongst family and friends at least). He would play all the time at his church, and it was always the highlight of everybody's day. I inherited one of his harmonicas, and while I listened to him play in my entire twenty years of life, I've never actually practiced it with him, at least not that I remember. This definitely helped out a ton since I'm learning how to play. Thank you for the tutorial!!

Back up to when I was 5 years old (I swear this will make sense soon) my mom showed me how to do bird calls with my hands. I thought nothing of it and forgot after a while. A week ago I remembered and started doing it again. I figured out multiple calls (ex. Morning dove, barn owl) and I did it in front of my step dad, he said "you know what, I'm buying you a harmonica." (Yes that is his exact words) Then he ordered one, fast forward to today and here I am with a harmonica.

How do play any other scale than major?

@KerinGedge 5 жыл бұрын

I'd say learn chromaric harmonica, but even then you'll only be able to play the minor keys relative to the major key the harmonica is is... e.g. chromatic harminica in c major will allow you to play in a minot etc.

Oh you can also learn how to bend, i don't teach that but check out learntheharmonica.com

I think my harmonica is too cheap. I can't breath in hole 2 and all after 5 sounds like garbage, like it's flat. Really ace tutorial though!

@KerinGedge 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, i've got some harmonicas that do that! A Hohner Marine Band is good to begin with, they're about $50 in NZ so probably around $30 in the US...

How to know which number of the hole when we can't see the hole

@KerinGedge 5 жыл бұрын

That comes with practice im afraid... after a while you get a feel for the distance between holes and it becomes second nature

A diatonic 10 hole harmonica in the key of C. Get a Lee Oskar or a Hohner or a Suzuki.

I went to the stationary store to buy a notebook and two pens, but I ended up buying a harmonica coz the lady at the cash register said she doesn't accept card unless the bill exceeds 10 euros.
