Great advice. I am 76 years old and have been playing since I was 10 and saw a school friend playing a Sonny Boy. Had to have one, taught myself to play it and have enjoyed playing ever since
I only know 1 song on harmonica... it's in the key of D... it's called Night Owl Blues by the Lovin' Spoonful... it's a great blues song for harmonica... 🎶🤪
Hey Tomlin! Started watching videos on Harmonica yesterday and Google search gave me you! Absolutely loved all the videos of yours that I have watched till now. Ordered an an Eastop Diatonic 008K Harmonica as I was tight on budget! Looking forward to learning from you. Making you my Harmonica Guru!
Almost 70.. been playing since I could walk. Love my Hohner Rockets (Special 20 IMPROVED!) Love my Lee Oskars.. My Seidels... But I have a very special love for my Harmo Harmonicas... Major, Minor keys, Paddy Richter & Country tuned. I lost track of the number... But I KNOW each and every one!
Been playing 77 years since I picked up another kids's Hohner Echo and played immediately every song I knew. Keep reaching out to all those budding harmonicats. Mike M
I remember getting my first harmonica when I was 16, and breathing into it as I fell asleep that night. We've been together ever since. Oh, it's not always been an easy relationship. It is, by far, the most difficult practice I have ever attempted, and persisted with. But I made a vow, to make that sound come out of my face. And I ain't dead yet.
Thank you for this. I have lots of entry level diatonic instruments in various keys. Never moved forward with it. I will someday but right now I'm about to start lessons for piano accordion. One member of the reed organ family at a time :)
Alright tomlin love your videos I am a beginner of 61 years old I will follow your videos and hope I can play some stuff in the near future. You make it sound so easy I hope I can replicate what you are saying keep well.dan. 👍
Just started today. Went into the store ready to get a Hohner model but they didn't have them in stock so I got the Lee Oskar by Tombo. Similar in the price range. Started with your train chug and the 5 licks. At 58 and with a musical background the journey is about to begin.😊 I was actually able to do a bend today. Not everytime, but at least I figured it out.
Just to say from a beginner, I totally agree that the special 20 is very good, I also have an east top which is good, and an Arkia origin which cost 3 times the others did and as a beginner is harder to play. Great video!
Good info, you tube can send you round in circles never learning anything much and wasting time you could be practising. I know I've been doing this for years and I'm still not very good. Just for the record I'm 74
Hi, I want to learn to playing the harmonica whit you, please let me know what’s the step I should take fallows now, thank you for your time and patience 😊
Hello Tomlin, not connected to this subject, however would you kindly have a link to an Amp Speaker & wireless mic with the ability to alter the volume ? I have been having great difficulty in finding. Can you help me please?
I'm 46 and have just ordered a set of EastTop diatonic harmonicas. I used to play by ear when I was a child and have since learnt to play the piano, so I'm hoping I have a good advantage as a new learner. I'm hoping to pick it up by ear again even though I need sheet music for the piano.
Love to start the course Tomlin. However, would you mind checking the Sign Up link of the Free foundation course? It doesn't work because it just show me an empty website after I click the Sign Up button
Spec20 is a quality tiny, harp, SoI prefer Lee Osçar's because the holes are larger for my arbuture and the build is robust❤ Do not boil to sterilize!!! Plastic Comb will heat shrink😢
I recently took my hohner blues harp apart to clean it but as I was putting it back together I snagged the reeds and it’s just so messed up now I know it can be fixed but I’ve been looking into getting a new one anyway I like blues old folk music and country and like western style cowboy harmonics are they any recommendations you have?

I'm 113 years old and I just bought my first harmonica since I was 50. He's been so helpful, picking it back up. Such a lovely young man
wow you aged so fast yesterday your 113 the next day your 700 years old
I've been trying to learn how to play the harmonica since I was 10 back in the 1980's we didn't have RUclips to help us learn
Love this short and to the point video, thank you for the great content
Just ordered the harmonica. I’m going to give it a try. I like your style.

Thank You for the helpful information, I sincerely appreciate you advice and opinion.
So inspiring and motivating towards learning

Easttop harps are terrific IMHO. They have good rich sound, are responsive, and bend easily, and are affordable. Good choice!
Love your work! Harmonically your friend...
Intresting information 👏

"Chunks of time". Never heard of time described in this way. Unusual description. Useful video nothwitstanding.

Whats that harmonica you’re using? Love the color
It's a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe with a Todd Parrott custom comb.
@@TomlinHarmonica thx 🙏🏿 and also a big thank you for your work here. Ive learned a lot because of your help!
that blue harmonica is beautiful, which one is it?
Hiya - it is a Marine Band Deluxe with a Todd Parrott Comb
sounds promising

"The best time to start is today " I am now 70 years old - I thinks it's now about time !
Budget friendly harmonica, the East top model 008 Key of C rated very well .
East Top harps are gaining a growing fanbase due to their affordable price along with excellent quality; a very respectable “first harp!”
@@jackbaer292Agree 100 percent.
