    A great Harmonica for a great price is Juzzie Smith Blues Harmonica.
    juzziesmith.co...
    This song uses the Key C.
    I love sharing this lesson as these two exercises are very simple and sound amazing. The tips I’m sharing can be used for any song you learn. Just remember to stay relaxed and have fun. Memorise this lesson so you can put your harmonica in your pocket and play anytime you get a chance. 5 minute practice sessions are really fun. Remember a little bit of lip balm can help for sliding along the harmonica.
    If you have a friend who plays guitar the chords are -
    Exercise 1 - G C rpt
    Exercise 2 - Dm C Dm C Dm C Bb Am Dm rpt
    These exercises are also great if you want play harmonica in neck rack and guitar at the same time.
    If you would like to learn more harmonica my course ‘Press Play & Blow Away’ will get you playing well within a month. Just 15min practice each day.

    I have watched hundreds of guitar "instructors" and dozens of harmonica instructors over the years, but I swear your talent and your ability to clearly explain is unequaled. The way you teach simple concepts and incrementally build them into amazing music is almost magic. It is clear that you love both playing and teaching. What incredible talent! THANK YOU!!!!

    Only just started learning at 65, when you said about relating timing to walking I found I was listening to all other sounds around me and relating those to the sound of harmonica, a lot actually work, I found your video's much easier to understand that others that just say do this but not how.

    Hi Juzzie,
    I'm an old dude that is attempting to learn how to play the harmonica and have been seriously having fun with it over the past four months or so. A lot of the online lessons have been a bit involved -- not that it is a bad thing, overall. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your relaxed methods and flowing jams that give me a chance to unwind and play along ... adding some of my own "feel" to the mix is the most important important aspect of why I'm here.
    Cheers!

    Very good! Here I am again, twngo a cheap harmonica that I bought a few months ago, never played any kind of instrument so I compensated by trying to imitate some blues greats, of course I did not achieve much. Then I tried some videos where they teach to play harmonica but they were very theoretical. A few days ago I discovered you giving these master classes and I have to say wue was like a gift from heaven, you really are very good at teaching. Thank you

    Hi Juzzie, this is fabulous (as always). I've got a handle on the harmonica part, but would really like to be able to add in some simple guitar at the same time. I am even more of a novice in guitar, I recognise and can play parts of the G and C chords in the first example, but when you start going up the neck of the guitar I'm getting a bit lost and can't quite work out which notes you are playing at the start of the bar. I know I will be able to work it out eventually, but its going to take time. Next time you do one of these, could you include some tab for the guitar bits or just mention what notes you are playing?
    And maybe something on chuka chucks some time in the future? Joel's tutorials are great, but I would love to see something delivered in your style.

    I discovered your channel today and I would like to thank you for your great content!
    That's a verynice telecaster you've got there, is it a Fender?

      Thanks. It’s a hand made guitar I found in a second hand shop 😊

    If you could make some longer recordings/videos with only looped beats (what you play on the guitar) for us to practice the techniques, this would be so useful. Just an idea 😁
