Want to head right to the harmonica sounds and techniques? Head here: 4:15 This is useful for those of you who return to this video often and do not need to hear me ramble about my upcoming harmonica events every time you land on this video. Thanks!
I was unsuccessfully searching how to do "warble" on the harmonica but didn't know the name of the technique. Thanks to you, I now know what to search for!
This is a great reminder of those techniques that can refresh or enhance your playing, perhaps when your approach to a particular song has become a little stale. And all in the one place, bit like a potted version of Rick Estrin’s Tips and Tricks video but obviously more concise. Some of the references to events are obviously outdated and therefore superfluous. This is a great resource however so maybe it’s time for an update unless that’s already been done elsewhere. Ronnie always has something to say on many levels. Thank you.
Getting my first harmonica, and this is exactly the video I was looking for. Coming from other instruments, I know it'll take time to learn and explore all of the different techniques, but having a all-in-one reference like this at least gives me a starting glossary.
Been following ur posts for a good 7 years now. Please get a hold of a venue in gravenhurst ontario called Peters players . Would love to see you live at this venue.
Just amazing technique that you accumulated and becoming a Master ! I remember trying to emulate Sonny Terry earlier in my 20's and suffering like crazy to not event getting close to it Hats Off Mr Shellist !
Thank you, an excellent reference for a complete beginner like myself. One question, you appear to be angling the harp rather than keeping it parallel to the mouth. Is this correct & why. Is it simply your style or a technique to achieve some of the effects. Cheers
Thank you for this video. I've been using a piano app to try and see if I'm hitting the right bends. It's hard to discern when I've got no prior music education. Been looking for this exact thing for weeks! Thank you!
@@Harmonica123 Wow! Thanks for getting back to me. I'm not judging, I'd be right there with you. I'm in Jersey and our Governer still hasn't realized the benefits of legal weed yet. In all seriousness, you rock. Part of me sticking with this amazing instrument is because of your lessons.
Is your harmonica specially tuned, I only have my harmonica coming from a music store unopened, and I can't get solid sounds like you I've tried and practiced but I feel as if every professional gets a specially tuned harmonica.
no special tuning here. it's the player not the instrument. this is a stock Special 20 I am using here. it takes years to get to the point where you can get those sounds to come out the way you want them.
Shame on you using what should be informational to a sleazy plug of some obscure venue . And who the hell are you. I still don't know if you can play that Damn thing.

Hats Off Mr Shellist !
Thank YOU
Wow! Thank you for this video. All I can say is Thank You. Now I can expand on my technique. You are an awsome man.

Great idea exactly what I was looking for.
Good resource. What about rhythmic consonant sounds, like "k", "t", "diddle-uh", etc?
Also tongue trill, throat growl
Absolutely! Those are great elements to work on after you are able to master regulating your breathing.
