Just got to say thank you. Your dedication for this instrument irrespective of the views made me to respect you more sensei.
You're very welcome, thanks for your support :)
Sir, I have to tell you how much I appreciate you being so devoted to this, thank you for the lesson.
You're welcome Salty! Cheers. Liam
Seriously u r the man of honour
These are great! It took me a while but I finally got 2(a) down forward and back. I’m ready to tackle 2(b) 😊
Awesome - keep going!
Thanks Liam, just like anything getting the fundamentals down first will put you on the correct path. Time to practice now.
Thank you my dear young friend for this video tutorial. This is exactly what I was missing in the boring playing of the scale! Having laid out different harmonicas in a row and playing these exercises on different harmonicas through half an octave, I feel a true desire to continue taking your lessons!
I would just like add my thanks. I've only been playing a few weeks but the videos I've seen from you have helped me a lot. Once again thanks.
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Your a Great teacher Liam. Your videos actually taught me how to play.
I'm glad you enjoy them, Jordan. Keep up the practice :)
Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks' Liam will take time ,I find my breathing is not up to it yet, but I will get there
first of all you are amazing guy and a wonderful teacher and i appreciate every single moment you was spending on teaching people . I'm new student at your channel , i fell in love with this instrument since i seen some of your videos . After all this is a great exercise for me and love it i want to mention something that you have to fix the list of the videos that you have like you have " Beginner harmonica lessons"
you need to fix it by fixing what the list include and sorting it in better way , like for example you should put this video in it at the very top of the " Beginner harmonica lessons" . At the end i have a small problem with moving from the 4 draw to 5 blow fast and the problem that i end up with 2 things 1 leaving air gab in between or drawing in the 4 draw really fast and in reallly hard way and then blowing to the 5 . btw I'm practicing a lot and with time it going better but if there any advise for that i will really thankful . Cheers
Hi Mohammad Ataya, thanks for watching and commenting.There's no short cut to moving well between notes, you just have to take your time and try to see it as a marathon rather than a sprint. Thanks again!
Very good lesson.
Thanks Tony :)
Thank you for this video...!!! LOVED IT..!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Learntheharmonica : Yes vry much. Not only this one, but all your content is just awsm. Been following you for some time now.. Happy to be here...!!!
I'm really curious why the fat tone amps patch moves at 13:55. Also, great lesson, thank you!
It is lately course. . But it is useful especially the falls between 6 and 7 and -7
Thanks Liam. I was wondering if you have a exercise that would help me get better at skipping notes. I can do today’s lesson very well but struggle going from hole 4 to 7 or 6 to 9 as examples. Also, I’d like to incorporate holes 1-3 as well since most of the melodies I’m playing don’t take me that low. Can you help please?
Good idea Mike, I'll have you think about some exercises for this :)
Your lesson is helpful, but it would be helpful to also have the actual musical notes shown. We would then eventually be able to play songs from writer music, I think. It works for my guitar.😎
Hi Conny, I've considered giving the musical notes but have decided against it for various reasons - it's worth watching my video on tab where I discuss a little about the problems of using musical notes for harmonica: ruclips.net/video/uijKdpEoVZM/видео.html
Thank you for the video. Is it cold where you are at?
Always! 🥶
Thnk u
You're very welcome!
Sir, could you please do a harmonica 101. Like how to maintain them, clean them and which one to buy and which type of harmonica to buy for which purpose? It'd be really helpful for new players coming to this channel. :)
Hi Nick, that's a good idea. I have covered some of these topics if you'd like to check them out.

@@Learntheharmonica Thanks for the good info you giving on this channel. Well done.
@@newsigmundfreud3023 yes New Sigmund Freud!
Great lesson! I always play these with a bunch of notes so a harmonic view which sounds good but is always a bunch of notes. Do you have any suggestions on how to focus on the one note? Do you just purse your lips more? I don't seem to like the tongue that much, but do you think you need to do that? I'm going to thumbs up and subscribe to help support your channel cuz everyone needs a little help! Keep up the good work!
Hi Jolox, thanks for your support! Here's a lesson on how to get clean single notes (it teaches three different methods so hopefully one of them works for you) - ruclips.net/video/sCOnxk_VlHQ/видео.html
Can't I do the same exercise while using an A harp?
Yes you can use any key you like. An A harp will be less squeaky at the top end too :)
Hey Liam, are you still taking private lessons? Just curious.
Hi Sneha Kandoi, I'm really sorry but I'm no longer offering private lessons.
@@Learntheharmonica That's very disappointing to hear! I was just learning how to use Skype, and was hoping to take some lessons with you! Hopefully, you'll change your mind down the road!
Which harmonica has good brand please forward me the website link.... ❤️❤️
Hi, here’s a buyer’s guide for you - ruclips.net/video/cU9Mgyoxv5I/видео.html
In what amount of time should i expect that i can play a clean single note
I just started playing harmonica
If you practise every day it won't take long to get your first single note, but to play them accurately every time will take some dedication :) Check out this warning!: ruclips.net/video/9GuFPgyNKFc/видео.html
@@Learntheharmonica thank you for your reply, i will dedicate myself to playing harmonica i have just started to get the hang of it and how it works its going preety good im geting clean notes but they lose the coloure of the tone sometimes and of course they are not the cleanest most of the time :)💓💓💓💓💓
How can i blow just one note, without blowing the rest?
Hi Rosi, I have a lesson on that: ruclips.net/video/YkEfzb-3pIM/видео.html. I hope it helps! Cheers. Liam

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One question, how do we know when we have blow, when we have draw... what decides that? I am a complete beginner
I believe 4 is blow, -4 is draw. Anything prefaced with a - means breathe in.
how to know which harmonica key i have,pls bro i need answer
It should be on the harmonica somewhere
If it's not you can always download a tuner of some kind and blow into the 4th hole that will tell you what key it's in assuming you can get a clean 4 blow
Guys, am I the only one who have the problem of lips getting dry very quickly hence they get stuck to the harmonica and force me to unseal them,once I do that I can’t play a single note anymore..pls help!
I've been meaning to do a video on this actually. It's very common. I drink A LOT of water when playing, mainly just to keep my lips moist. Some people like lip balm/Vaseline etc but I hate the stuff!
Am I the only one having trouble breathing in 7? i struggle with it rather much.
Hi Hallucinate, try this video: ruclips.net/video/SqV4V8DbeqY/видео.html. Cheers. Liam
