Great job

❤good❤🤩🤩🤩

Mr. C, I love it. Impressive. You and Saxophone, of course.

The question I've never heard answered is, "Why would a person who has 12 harmonicas (one in each key) would want to play anything other than 1st position?"

You explained that very well.

Excellent instructions! TY from USA

Very 'cool'. I've been fooling around with harmonica for close to 4 months now. Trying to get a few blues licks down. Coming from decades of blues guitar noodling. Interestingly, I knew my circle of 5ths, (loosely, lol), like I know what it's about, & can circle chords on the guitar around it, and I understand the 1 4 5 etc, but I still had to think a bit about which key harp I needed for cross harp. I'm much better at it now, but it was a tad confusing 4 months ago..... but I managed to have discovered on my own how sweet 3rd position can be just the other day, and what key does that in. It's amazing that with the correct diatonic set up, you _can_ play in _any_ song key with just ONE harmonica, tho I can see that would take somewhat of a world class harmonica maestro to do so. But if you've never played anything before, or have zero music theory know how...I can see how this could be very head scratching for quite a long time. Basically, a C harmonica is just all the white keys on a piano. (without any bends that is), If that helps anyone at all, lol. It's the term 'position' that threw me off here for a while.... a Position is simply what key you play in, i.e. what the home starting note would be. Like playing all the scales in open position on guitar type thingy. I guess the really good news here is, that whatever you learn on one harp, is playable on all the other diatonics.

Sounds great 👍 👌 😀!!!

Little Walter's Evans Shuffle is based on the Honeydripper.

Thanks man. My band is working this tune up and you unlocked the harp for me!

Fantastic!

Bad ass haircut.

👌

Hi Ricky ! What's the name of the song, please ? Can you write it ? Sorry, I'm french... Isn't it "Slow Emotion Replay" ? THANK YOU I GET IT !

why not give us a lesson please

Hey Ricky greetings from Kenya. Thanks for the lessons

GRACIAS RICKY .SALUDOS DESDE BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA ;)

Cheers, Ricky, this was well timed. I've just purchased a Trochilus harp, and this is perfect practice.

Love your videos 💙💙

Qual é o tom da gaita? Tem a tablatura para disponibilizar?

Rather than play a squeaky overblow , I just use a Brendan Power Powerdraw and get the note

That'll teach you to eat oatmeal before practice! 😁 I use a tiny bent paperclip to reach in and just "tap" the reeds while the covers are still on - usually works for me. One does have to be careful, though. I slipped once, and had to take everything apart to extract the paperclip, only to find it had damaged the reed. It took me another hour to replace the reed (yes, I do have all of those fiddly tools to replace reed rivets) from an old reed plate.

Since I was a child, I have disassembled/dismantled untold numbers of harmonica. Sometimes for the fun of it. Other times, in an attempt to repair it. To this day, even with my mechanical skills, I cannot remember successfully repairing one harp😅😅😅 I hate taking them apart attempting to repair a reed. They always end up in a trash heap😅😅😅

Found you on your vid on how to play the harp piece from On the Road Again and was hoping you had lessons! Never played but I’m gonna try!

Ok now I mixed up. I thought that 3D position would be G if i play with C…??

Thank you sir !

You did a great job. Thank you

Why not just playing it in D…?

That’s a lot of great bending here🎉

Indeed no D flat 😅😢

Thank you sir.

❤very good ❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I dig it!

I really enjoyed Thanks alot

Really good......thank you so much........this song was etched onto my heart 53 years ago as a chill track following the preceding 74 Miles vinyl. I'm now learning it on harmonica, invaluable links, just what I needed. Have started on a C but the Eb is in the post (I want to be there with the band 😂).

❤😍🤩🤩🤩❤

Brilliant 👏

Love this track, was about to crack on with figuring the solo out - great timely lesson! cheers

Best explanation of how it is done that I’ve heard

Thank you so much !

Cheers !

wow, that is a very cool tool to get this tremolo feel! beautiful!

Evening Ricky 👋 Well now I'll have to dig out my trem 🫣. It's a Suzuki something 😩. Ah the old Ska , takes me back. I'll be checking out those tracks too 👍. Cheers Ricky , hope your doing good. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎼🎶🎵🎶👏

Good luck with the CD Ricky. It sounds really good and reminds me of the 1960s. The fanfare is a bit expensive? I bet those old ska players had a cheaper alternative? was my boy lollipop played on one of those?

Mr. Cool, I admire your work and playing. I enjoy everything about harmonicas. As youngsters, we were introduced to diatonic and tremolo. They were cheap, and you got 'em from the 'Dime Store'. We tooted around on them and occasionally learned to play a song, or a phrase or two (I can't recall how many "we" destroyed and dismantled). I try to play any and every harmonica my money can buy. I kinda steer clear of customs and new innovations until I can perfect what I am attempting to achieve, but I do own a Brendan Power "Lucky13." Love it. I'm considering some of his other simpler innovations, like "PowerBender" and "PowerDraw." I love so many forms and styles of music (no reggae, rap, or hip-hop, although there are some impressive guys in those areas. The style of music just isn't for me. I'm too old, I guess) Thanks for posting. Good luck to ya'.

Evening squire! Hope you're well.
