A great Harmonica for a great price is my own Juzzie Smith Blues Harmonica (so easy to play)
juzziesmith.com/store/juzzie-...
This song I’m playing the Key C.
Key A is great for Blues & Grooves.
For 30 years I’ve been playing the harmonica and these 3 Riffs are some of my favourite.
I hope you learn a lot from this lesson, just remember to stay relaxed and have fun!
Good tip is to put your harmonica in your pocket and play these riffs by memory when ever you get a chance. Play to the beat of your walking feet! Jam with the backing track - This will help you learn faster!
Riff 1

Riff 3

Picked up a harmonica for the first time and knocking this out in 20 minutes 😊

Wow!!! I’ve been looking for a teacher and now I’ve found him. You are awesome my friend. I felt your passion and love for what you do and I’m fortunate to have found you. Thanks for sharing.
Good afternoon, Mr Smith. Thank you so much for putting that out. Yes this is Dano from Jensen Beach Florida. The Newbie, I want to be. Sounding just like you. Thank you so much for explaining this riff. Now for me it's just practice practice practice practice practice practice practice,, once again, thank you so much sir.

Thanks Rolf, so great to hear you started playing at 67yrs. Keep having fun!
Jussie is the Dr. Ruth of harmonic teaching. That's a complement. It's an odd complement, but really, it's true. Like a mix of Bob Ross and Dr. Ruth.
Thanks 😊
Loving your lessons. Inspired me to dig out my harmonica again & carry everywhere to practice
Never a dull video with you Juzzie, groovy an inspirational all in one…thanks man.
Thanks mate 😊
Man you know how to make things fun and make learning feel relaxed. Thanks for making these. I'm a beginner and you give me hope for one day being really good. You're a joy to watch.
you got me back into harmonica after years of not playing! i used to play a very simple style, breath in and out and using my tongue. i never really knew the blues style or how to do it and now it’s all i’ve been playing! i keep a harmonica in my vehicle to play while on the road ❤
Great you playing again. Keep having fun!
Thank'YOU Maestro❣️✌️
Just discovered you and you are a great teacher. I play harp in a blues band in the UK and follow several harmonica teachers on here but love your style and personality. Especially the story how you got into playing from, watching an advert on TV, it’s inspiring.
Thanks juzzie ❤for the video
Your welcome 😊
Brilliant, as ever! Simple but so effective!
I love the person you are, you have such a nice vibe. Thanks for your tutorial videos and your music.
Great riffs. Thank you Juzzie!

Good stuff here, I get my new Harm tomorrow night, my first actually wanted to play guitar but think I’ll see if I can get the hang of this cool portable instrument! I think I’m understanding how bending is done, wouldn’t it be better to call it “blend” however or blending? Or maybe I’m missing something? 🤔
This is awesome !!!! Thank you so much for making this video !!
Your welcome. Thanks for the feedback 😊
Very cool👍
I want to say thanks a lot I appreciate it
Sensational 😃👏
This is so awesome. Just bought my first harmonica 👍👌
Reason I've picked up my harmoincas atm cheers 🍻
Thank you for this! Brand new to the harmonica! Zero music skills!
I finally got the rhythm with this!!
You the man Juzzie! 👊
I like your style, it's very cool. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks 😊
Hells yeah, another tutorial. Lets go
Just got into the Harmonica scene ! You have done such an amazing work! Super Inspiring and definitely recommending all my friends to get into Harmonica and check you out as well ❤
That’s great! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks!!!😍🤗👌👍
Good lessons
Great video my friend, thank you!
Thanks 😊
The Man ❤
Great video and lesson. Thank Juzzie! I had a lot of fun playing along with this one.
P.S. Greetings from south Louisiana. =)
Thanks, great to hear your having fun 😊
Cool alright good video!
New image Juzzie😂 Like the groove. THANKS. My rainy Sunday, is much sunnier now 👍
Thanks 😊
Juzzie you are an absolute legend in my eyes mate. To be totally honest with you I've never really been into Blues music or any instrument other than the guitar I started playing when I was 9 and stopped when I discovered beer and kebabs (18 or 19) 😅. Anyway back to you and your inspirational videos, I came across the one with you teaching the 3 grooves and after watching it, I genuinely went on Amazon and bought a harmonica and even paid for next day delivery 😂😂😂. I'm sending The Long Haired General (my wife) round the bend. She has even had the cheek to compare my practicing to a cat walking round on a hot roof and I keep reminding her that she sounds like that to me when she starts nagging. You are a really cool guy and I'm definitely going to keep up the practising and hopefully I'll be able to jam with some friends of mine who are in a band or 2. Keep them coming mate. Cheers mate.
Marvellous
Great
cool master class
Love the way that video was made
Thanks 😊
Thank you, I love music but it doesn't love me doesn't come natural, loved your ‘EXTRA GROOVY’ HARMONICA JAM and watched over and over to try to figure the notes, this is much appreciated, keep me out of trouble this weekend practicing
Great your playing. Keep going as in time it becomes more natural. Have fun!
Cool. 😎👍
Lijepom muzikom razbija olujne oblake.😊
Juzzie, for all the folks listening and playing along, the groove is being played in 3rd position if you want to explore the groove beyond the tabs Juzzie provided. It's a powerful groove! Groove on.
Thanks mate. 3rd position is so fun. I explain more of this on my Patreon page www.patreon.com/juzziesmithofficial
what a cool dude
I got my first harmonica 40 years ago, and I still find your videos incredibly helpful, insightful and madly entertaining!! You sir, are the man!!!
Thanks 😊
Love that beet and I will be searching out your jazzy harp
Thanks. I put this beat on my Patreon page as it’s great for jamming. So fun!

I had to pause to comment I started follow the first guy that came up when I got my Hermonica, love it I played the trumpet in Jr high . And I love music It's in my blood . Love your video bro ❤️ fuck ya I'll be following you I definitely want to learn more and totally thought it was all blowing . I just got the thing the other day but now I'm playing music thst grooves lol ! I need sleep more practice in moving notes . I'm planning to practice a little bit every day a in a yr it will add up to a lot .so exciting to go on this journey with you. Keep rocking it man ! Woot Woot woot just did it
I came back to this lesson and I experimented with a 4-6 chord. Gives it more fullness and you can play the lick with some bends and don’t have to move your mouth. It’s fun. 🙂
Awesome, great to hear your experimenting and having fun 😊👍
Like it!
I bought my second harmonica a month ago. (The first one 35 years ago, but didn't learn anything).
I've found myself a handful of very good teachers on YT.
You're on the A- list of course.
But do you know what differentiates you from the others (your competitive advantage they would say in marketing)?
Pleasure!
Right off the batt, you give the absolute beginner permission to get pleasure from his learning.
And that's a great experience.
Thanks.
Jef
Thanks Jef, harmonica sure is a fun instrument to play!
Love always your work. You really have a profound connaisse of rythmes ! Merci ! But …I miss the hat !
Hey Juzzie - bought your beginner course the other day. Really loving it, but wish it had videos. Watching you play is super inspiring. Do you have plans to put out a second video course? I'd definitely buy that as well if you are!

Haha, you might get tired lips 😁
@@JuzzieSmithRUclips well thats exactly what happened 😆
Love your vibe even made me order a harmonica a year ago and i loved it ! but i got a bit busy lately and had to put the harmonica away , and now this week i decided to pick it back up and practice with you ( via youtube) but i noticed hole 1 sounds horrible now after putting it away for a year , is it possible if you can make a video on how to repair it ( with basic tools :) )
i always made it air dry
and for deep cleaning i used a ultra sonic cleaner i never took it apart
Brilliant just brilliant. I use marine band in C can not find your harmonica for sale here in the uk. You got me hooked
Merry Christmas brother, I promise you people around here will either thank you or cuss you cause a close friend got me a new harmonica for my birthday/Christmas and I'm focusing on it, you,AND the beer.For some reason I have better rythm drinking 🙄.Thank you for making these videos
Thanks. Have fun learning 😊
Juzzy you’re such a dude man. I love your material. I’m addicted to the harmonica after listening to you. Please keep giving funky content like this. Massive fan from the uk ! Ohh and please what’s the name of this backing track ? Best regards

Very good...😍😍😍😍🤙🤙❤❤❤😍😍
Thanks
Juzzie, I love your channel. What is that Roland music device called? Keep up the excellent job.
You Rock Juzzie Smith. Thanks for the great videos. I am learning a lot from you. I would like to get your online course soon. Any idea how much it is in Canadian dollars? I also love Rise and shine, it’s a great album, I listen to it all the time. Cheers mate!!
Thanks mate. The course is $39aud which is $35 Canadian. Works great for learning by ear. Keep having fun!
My birthday is coming up so I’m going to order the 99 dollar 2 harmonica plus course deal🙂
Hi Juzzie! Great lesson, beautiful music. What key is your backing track in?
D minor. Harmonica key C. This is called 3rd position playing 😊
Great lesson Juzzie. Really forced me to hit those single notes. I’m more of a chord player - double stops and triplets.
Great. Have fun getting funky 😊
Hi Juzzie just want to say just received my harmonica from you and it’s a beautiful harmonica and I love it so thank you for making a beautiful affordable harmonica. Just quick question didn’t you do a video the other week teaching us to play Happy Birthday as I can’t find it anywhere to watch to learn it.
@@user-ck6fb9kb4j not sure how he’s scammed me as I received the harmonica and it plays and sounds great and the price isn’t that bad and I bought it for a show piece anyways as I like watching him play as he’s a great harmonica player and RUclipsr, it’s a pretty looking harmonica. I don’t care if it’s from China as 90% of stuff made on this planet is now made from China and there’s no getting away from it even stuff that says things like Made in the USA or Made in the UK etc on it most of it is made in China then just stamped from a different country. Not sure why you need of comment.
Thanks for getting the harmonica. Sorry about the angry people out there. Seems strange that people try and put others down. I’ll be reposting birthday RUclips soon as wanted to change a few things. Thanks again for your support and enjoying what I do 😊
@@JuzzieSmithRUclips no need to be sorry as there’s always one person that’s angry and jealous about something and angry at the world. Thank you for replying and hope soon then I can see the bday video. Stay safe.
Thank you very much for these lessons. Helps a lot. Is there a way I can find the beat you are using? Sounds so amazing.
Thanks 😊 I think I found it on logic as one of there loops 👍
@@JuzzieSmithRUclipsFound it! Thank you 🙏🏽
Sounds like we need a Harp Raffle!😁😁
Very catchy what's the name of that beat
Thank u so much, but where can I get the background music???
Thanks, the backing track and more lessons are on Patreon. Here is the link www.patreon.com/juzziesmithofficial
I'm just curious.. have you ever tried that with your Wawa setup? That might really put a Twist on it! I'd like to hear that one. Dano Jensen Beach Florida
Yep I posted a cool video of this with wha wha. Here it is 😊 m.ruclips.net/video/bwZvH-MntOw/видео.html
Hiya any help !! Just starting out could you recommend at least 2 books I could buy !
