I am so glad I hit this video today.....always loved Big Walter, I have been playing for 40 years, I just learned a lifetime of good technique in one video.
The harmonica is a massive instrument.. Fully capable of any job by itself or in a band. That is what you make obvious. There are no apparent weaknesses in its versitility... So good that if you were playing guitar in a band with someone like you, it would be very freeing. I just bought a set of Hohner Blues Jarps and have just started to see what is out there to learn from. I just got my head around the reality of bending the reeds half step, whole step, plus. Yall sound so good and I want to be able to bend it with precision and purpose.
The -3' -2 -3' -3'' -2 -3'' 3 2 3 2 3 2 line is a worthy exercise on its own, getting it cleanly up to speed. Simple, yet tough to play in tune alternating between half-step bend and clean on 3 and 2, and then full-step bend and clean on the same holes, and still maintaining a consistent shuffle rhythm. A great little nugget for practice!
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Mohamed Roman i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for sharing this... Super well explained man... Have you a video on Sonny Terry style... Because I guess you can do It and explain it very well...
hi Alex from Italy, congratulations and thanks for this beautiful lesson and congratulations for your sound and technique, it's perfect. It would be really cool for us to have the backing track that you initially play on. Do you know how to find it? could you share it? ❤
Thanks a lot Alex. You are a very clear teacher. Would you please give the link to the backing track you used for this , in order to train on it as well ?
Hi Alex, thanks for this great lesson. Easily the best video to learn Big Walter's Boogie :) Just wondering if you could share the link to the backing track that you used in the video. Much appreciated. Thanks again :) Cheers!
Hallo Alex thanx a lot for your tutorial. I stuck on lick at 4:30 min. -2“ -2 -3‘ - -3‘ -3“ -2 -3“. and so far... do you using Toung blocking in this moment?
Not really, it's all pretty clear. What he leaves out is tongue blocking techniques and some hands stuff. Pulls, slaps, flutters. If you tongue block, it shouldn't be an issue.

Alex not only are a fantastic musician, but a great teacher. Thanks for sharing the secrets to playing this song I've struggled with for decades!
Alex has got the chops!

Alex Paclin is a phenomenal player. His interpretations always sound exactly like the original.
Thank you Alex for your commitment and dedication as a musician and educator. I love your tutorials. 👍
I agree, Conrad! He is awesome. Thanks for watching.

Hey Charles - I don't believe we have a backing track for this one, but I'll double check...
Aloha,
Luke
If this is intermediate - how hard can advanced be?
Howard Levy like ;)
Thank you for a great lesson.
Great! Is it neccessary to bend with tongue blocking or bends can be done with lip pursing? Thanks and keep doing the great job!

Alex what is the tone of the harmonica? You play very well, congratulations.
SIB

Are you playing a D harp in second position in the key of A? Thanks! Wonderful tone!
Listening more I think it is a B flat in second position.
Gary Glazner a
Big Walter originally used a Bb in the key of F Alex is as well
Love that stuff!!! Big Walter was totally badass!! Check him out!

intermediate ?
Yea, I'm thinking this is some serious advanced work here
I added all those numbers up--- I added them up tree times!! and I still can't play the harmonica ----
How will i do that articulation?
JP sounds just like Walter!
thanx master!
Great lesson and song, harmonica used is key of A, right? thanks for sharing!
I refuse to believe that my tongue is physically capable of playing this song.
LOL! Yes, tongue blocking is a very awkward technique and takes a long time to get comfy with!
How do you do a rolled R?
...it's simple....
Очень хорошо. Есть чему учиться.

ありがとうございます！

Sounding great but telling and showing what your doing is not letting us know HOW so we just go on doing it wrong 😡
Exactly, it's more of a showcase for him, and his 'look how good I am' skills rather than a practical lesson...
Not really, it's all pretty clear. What he leaves out is tongue blocking techniques and some hands stuff. Pulls, slaps, flutters. If you tongue block, it shouldn't be an issue.
Хорошие уроки выдаёшь 👏
Жаль только для англицкого...
ありがとう！
