This is a brief summary of some fundamentals of music theory, including simple explanations of notes, keys and basic chords. I've based this video on the video 'Music Theory in 16 minutes' by Guy Michelmore. I wanted to do a version geared towards harmonica players like myself. I hope you like it!

Lee Oskar often uses the term "musically hopeless" to define the people who are absolutely clueless about music, such as me. This video has been a great lesson and a help. Keep up the good work sir!
Its the soul that matters ;p

hello
Thank you Professor Ward!! Surprising to me that I know most of what you laid out from listening to so many of your videos. It was great to hear it all put together. You filled in a couple of gaps in what I know. And you did it really well!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this content. Can't appreciate enough how much this helps beginner players like us to get to the next level.
Thanks, Adnan!
Simply brilliant explanations. Thanks. I look forward to purchasing the music theory package.
Hi Cha Z, I'm glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks again Liam for a well broken down and explained lesson on what is not an easy subject to teach. I last learned this 16 years ago in German and with an H note, which still confuses me. 🤣😁
Thanks for that Liam, that's the stuff I really need to learn, because it confuses the crap out of me, so many names for the same things.
Glad to help!
Your teaching style is very good.. most importantly the pronunciation of words are clear.. i think everyone will agree.. and the way u teach, atleast I understood what u wanted to explain.. 😁😁 just fantastic.. brilliant.. crispy sound.. great work.. love the way you presented.. the complete screen in filled with study material.. awesome background..
Pls chk the latest father daughter production on my channel and also other playlists like guitar basics, chromatic scales, strumming patterns, finger exercises,etc.. U WILL HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD.. 😊
I just started harmonica two weeks ago! Thank u, this helps a lot
Glad it helped!
What a great intro explanation. I wish i;'d seen this earlier in my journey, i've done a lot of the 'the hard way" - but it's still useful. Funny story - the ONLY thing i remembered from a couple of ears of music in High School was Tine Tine Semi-tone Tone Tone Tone Semi-tone. But years later i had no clue or memory of what it referred top top or meant.
No one on youtube has explained the science behind it. Wonderful and thanks a lot for this
Basic theory but is from where we have to start on Músic. Thank you!!
Exactly what I was looking for
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
You do such a great job! thanks a lot :-)
Happy to help!
Great video Liam!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers. Liam
Learned something from this, slowly getting it ...thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Well done, as usual, Liam! I have a question: When you say "natural minor," is that the same scale as the natural minor harps or are you using the word "natural" in a different way? There is, of course, harmonica minor, which is what I use to play "Paint It Black" with my band.
Yep, I'm talking about the same scale :)
Great content thank you !!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much.
No worries!
Du bist und bleibst der Beste.
Ich liebe deinen Kanal.
Vielen Dank für deine tollen Videos Liam.
Viele Grüße und vielen Dank
Manuel
That whose really usefully and interesting liam especially for a muppet lke me thanks
Haha, no worries! :)
How do you stay in key while playing ?
A good video thanks.
It did bring up something else which I want to ask about. Like most people learning the harmonica bending notes is a challenge. I can do it sometimes and then other times not. I can do it on some notes but not on others. When you filled in the sharps and flats by bending it wasn't as you said yourself so good. It made me feel better at least. You said "It helps if you set up your harmonica to do it and I haven't done anything with this". Leaving aside why you didn't prepare properly 😀 what do you do to set it up? All the videos I've seen say if you can't bend notes it's technique not something wrong with your harmonica. I'm aware that my technique is the main problem but it seems that even you have trouble if you haven't set up your harmonica to do it. Is there a possible issue with a harp that could be making the task of bending notes more difficult?
Hi Kim, it's actually more to do with overbends (overdraws and overblows) than bends themselves - these are crucially different techniques. Bends give you some of the 'missing' notes, then overbends give you rest, turning the diatonic into a fully chromatic instrument, though few people do it really do. While normal bends are difficult to get to sound perfect, overbends are even more unstable and most people do some work to their harmonicas to make them easier to play. If you don't know what overbends are, you're not doing them so don't worry! If you are interested in them, it can involve taking the harmonica apart, adapting the gaps of the reeds, embossing ( ruclips.net/video/CqCAW6iZfus/видео.html ) and sealing the reed rivets, to make it a more airtight instrument. It gets very fiddly! I'm hoping to do some videos on all that soon :)
@@Learntheharmonica Thanks that explains it. It does mean I've now got no excuse for my inability to bend notes properly so it's a case of keep practising.
Slightly off topic, the first thing I managed to play was Scarborough Fair from your lesson. I'm not sure why I picked that but I suppose I saw it and thought it didn't look to difficult. I'd been practising playing single notes randomly but this helped as it required the same skill but I could tell if I was getting it right.
Anyway thanks again.
Nice intro to music theory on a blues harp.
Hello sir
Liam thanks for trying to explain. theory is very confusing. I have a question, at about 8:50 in the video you give an example of a 1/2 and whole step. You said C to C# and then C to D. I get the math part but how do you know which note is a C or a D on the harmonica. You seem to assume we know how to do that? How do I play a C or a D?
Check out this video where I explain the note layout - ruclips.net/video/u8S166FhvVQ/видео.htmlsi=D4X4owJlkKYWbM_L
How did you play 1&4B? I try to block 2 and 3 and making sure I include both 1 and 4 but that curves my tongue and I accidentally bend the notes! lol
Hi Sebastian, it's all about relaxing. You need to place your tongue rather than push it. I have an intro course here: sellfy.com/learntheharmonica/p/aynr/. Cheers! Liam

Sees piano *hissss*
Lol
Did you got your play button
I did! There's a photo in the community section at ruclips.net/user/Learntheharmonicacommunity
Hola soy de argentinae gustaria que me enseñes El Tema crossroads blues gracias
Brilliant song. I hope to teach it one day :) Cheers. Liam
I've read this stuff in books before. HOW it's supposed to be useful to you is never explained. I'll bet James Cotton never knew any of this theory.
Good point, I think. OTOH, a certain amount of people do need it; no two people are alike.
Its all about S O U L
apologies! I found this presentation difficult to watch.
I would be happy if your online lessons had not only tabs but also notes, because only notes have the complete information about a melody. Thank You.
The volume is too low.
