@@HarmonicaShala Sir, you're welcome. I don't claim to have seen all your tutorials yet, so some of these might have already been covered or in your 'To do list'. However, here are a few topics in arrangement of how a beginner would experience - #a Which Harmonica to buy to get going and general sanitisation tips for instruments and self 😀. #b Choosing between Chromatic and Diatonic and the differences between Harmonicas basis number of holes, keys etc. #c Need to have a backup instrument and which instrument to use for practice and which to use sparingly # Puckering or tongue block or both # How to begin as in, what exercises to do (Scales, beginner's songs, grip etc) #Breathing # An ideal learner's approach (Avoid overplaying - attempting songs when not ready or jumping from song to song without mastering any). I believe too many people give up at this stage due to slow or no progress # Playing with notations (Available on social media, tutorials, books etc) or without notations Thank you for reaching out, appreciate your efforts towards sharing knowledge and sowing seeds of music / Harmonica. Your efforts will definitely bring forward and add to the large family of Harmonica players. Cheers!!!
Chandrashekhar Ji All I can say is that I am impressed. Not just by the way you played the technique but the way you have explained in the simplest way possible. I am actually a Santoor student but am also passionate about Harmonica. I can play some basic songs and am also eager to learn such advanced techniques. Will contact you separately.
It's really a good Technic normally teachers teach you to keep three holes blocked with the tongue and play.. anyway we will try and let you know Thanks sir for innovative suggestions
Sir, many thanks for your lesson. Vamping I am practicing for some time under a teacher,, but finding it bit difficult to put into use while playing a tune. Your way is excellent. Will surely revert . Specially the la la la way is so simply explained. Regards
This is very simple and informative explanation of the technique . Your explanation method is so good that one can grasp it very easily. Hope to get more such techniques/tricks from you
Hello Sir, This is Sanket from Aurangabad , Maharashtra . Today I come across your channel , the techniques you have taught are fantastic ( explained in simple manner with very much details also ). I am thankful to you as this information is very much needed for the beginners of Harmonica.
Very simply taught, SirJi I am using 24 Hole Song Star Suzuki Harmonica. Is it possible to play octave toung slapping (for राही मनवा दुखकी चिंता).I am really impressed by your technique of toung slapping i.e. La,La,La Thanks Sir Ji 🙏
In a 24 hole harmonica, you need to have mouth which is large enough to cover the octave range from the left and right corner of your lips. Most people are unlikely to have that big a mouth. So a 12 hole chromatic is best suited for octave playing. But the tongue slapping will still work on your 24 hole Songstar chromatic. Happy playing !!
CK ji very nicely explain tonged slapping and blocking. I been listening from lots of demonstrator but with your demonstration I achieve the goal. thank you very much and I will wait for your next video.
I was not aware about tongue slapping techniques. But after watching your tutorial, got some idea. very useful session. Thanks a lot, Chandrashekhar Ji🙏
Sir, very good explanation of vamping technique. I think your harmonica is Hohner 270. Earlier I had it. But its comb got cracked. Therefore after replacing the comb, I sold it. How do you manage with wooden comb? Please advise. Thanks sir
Thanks for liking the technique. Yes, you are right. I am playing a Hohner 270. It lasted me for 27 years before a few reeds got broke finally. I have not done anything yet to it. I have bought a Suzuki Sirius Harmonica which is a 12 hole chromatic and is working well for me.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial, Chandrashekhar ji. 👏👏 Till now, tongue slapping was a mystery for me but not so now, thanks to this inspiring video. I am certainly going to try and learn the technique. Regards and prayers. 🙏 🙏 🌹 🌹
Extreamly useful explanation. Trying to follow it for quite some time but not able to make any progress unfortunately. May be I never learnt harmonica by the Tongue Blocking and that appears to be the basic problem.
Sir could you please share tips to play on 4 hole harmonica and also the technique to get the higher and lower octave tone in the middle octave wher we can play the full songs
I will try n make a video on 4 hole harmonica. Truly speaking, it is just a toy harmonica used for using as a key chain. But it can be fun. I am not sure what you mean when you say playing high and low octave notes on middle octave. Can you elaborate it more? Are you talking about playing two octaves together?
@@HarmonicaShala thank you Sir. Will wait for your video on the 4 hole harmonica. Playing full song which has all 3 level notes in 4 hole harmonica, this is what I am looking for hence said playing lower and higher octave notes in the middle octave
@@lakshmisudeendrs2431 Unfortunately, It is not possible to play all 3 octave notes on a 4 hole harmonica. You can only play one octave in a 4 hole harmonica.
Ji haan, aaj ke music mein bhi mouthorgan ka use hota hai. Lekin mostly, background music mein use kiya jaata hai. Recently, Sanju movie mein Steve Baker ne diatonic harmonica play kiya hai. Aajkal purani movie ke jaisa gaane mein harmonica bahut kam ho gaya hai.
Ye jo toungue blocking aur toungue slapping technic hai uss me physically toungue ko mouth organ ke holes par kaise rakhte hai ye speech ke zariye samaj na mushkil lagta hai. Agar usko kuchh sketch ke dwara present karenge to jyada clear hoga kyunki toungue positioning bhi samaj na jaroori hai. Jo ki sketch ke zariye jyada samaj me aa shakta hai. To please aisa koyi video shikhne me helpful rahega.
Sir yesterday I have sent a request to guide me how to play harmonica but I haven't received your response I don't know whether my message reached you or not. Kindly look upon my request
Absolutely!! This term has been in use for ages in the harmonica community across the world. I do not know the reason why it was called that. But I continue to use the word as people know it by the same name. Chordal vamping is another term but somehow this term is more in use in India.
Alok ji, thanks for your interest and suggestion. It is a bit difficult to show it this way. But I will try to make another video later at some point and try my level best to address this 😊

The tongue movement is initially difficult till it becomes a habit. Be persistent. Over a period of time, it starts happening.
