Master the WHOLE range of the harmonica

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- One of my students recently asked me whether they should learn the Blues Scale over the whole range of the harmonica all at once or if they should do an octave at a time. It turns out that the answer is not as simple as that.
In this harmonica lesson, I'll be answering this question and also showing you how to play above hole 6 without any Overblows or Overdraws...

Another great lesson Tomlin! I agree with all your points in this lesson and appreciate all you've done to contribute to the quality of my playing and enjoyment of the harmonica!
Aw thanks Sage - that's wornderful to hear :-)
Major P on holes 6-9 was a true epiphany 👍 Thanks a lot for yet another great lesson!
Very helpful Thanks so much for the video !
Have a happy day ! 🐞🐞🐞🐞
Thank you Sunny and you!
This lesson should be required viewing for all aspiring harmonica players. This video really opened my eyes and will (henceforth) change the way I practice scales. Thanks so much!
Before I even see the video I can tell you gals and gents this is one of the best hints you can get when learning the 10 hole harp! Cheers Tomlin
Thanks, Tomlin, I appreciate your argument for incorporating the lower notes (including the -2") into my blues playing. Interesting observation about experienced blues players switching to the major pentatonic above the 6. I'll have to give that a try.

Lovely lesson as always...i hv jus started out ..after playing blues guitar for over 20 years 😜! But really enjoying this new muse....thanks to your lessons n videos 🤘🙏
A new dimension for me. I’m going to have fun. Thanks Tomlin!
Dzięki Tomlin, to jest to o co mi chodziło. Bardzo dobra i praktyczna lekcja.
Thanks Tomlin, that's what I meant. A very good and practical lesson.
I love the major pentatonic/folk scale! Cheers for the lesson, Tomlin.
Have a listen to Indiana by Gary Primich for a great tune using major pent. 😎👍
Definitely, thanks for the suggestion! :-)
Very good lesson thanks for covering this
My pleasure Carey :-)
Great instruction Tomlin thank you.
Excellent lesson- thanks!! Doc
Thanks Doc!
Fantastic lesson!!
Thanks Michael!
Great video!
Cheers William :-)
Learning blues scale in higher octave is difficult, but great. You can play really nice vibrato on 6 overblow and 7 overdraw.
Tomlin, You made this scale easy for me to understand & practice! And for that, I thank you. Do what you do. I'm a fan 🤙
Aww, that's kind for you to say. Thank you Pat! :-)
Great lesson! Thank you! :)
A revelation, thanks!
i needed this lesson so hard
thank you
GREAT LESSON!!! I'm sure you've even convinced that recalcitrant and lazy student who needed to be shown that the 2 draw full step bend was worthwhile, albeit difficult to master. :)
Lol - thanks Bob :-)
TIT
secrets revealed! Very good lesson, thanks
If you leave out that overdraw then the minor pentatonic scale is available using that 6 overblow you love.
Sweet sound!
That make my vision wide. Hard to find better blue scale teaching comparing this one.
I’m a newbie to the harmonica but thanks to your excellent teaching Im making progress. Tomlin, do you know of an app for iPhone that would provide beginner song tabs for me to practice? Thanks for all your lessons!
HI Mike - I'm afraid I don't. I can provide you with Beginner Songs for you to practice here though - tomlinharmonicaschool.com/p/easy-tunes-for-beginners
I found the diatonic (not the tremolo) a more challenging instrument among the harmonica.
Awesome
Hi, I wasn't sure how the blues and major pent linked up, or were they for separate keys?
Hi James, great question. You can play both of these scales over a Major key Blues. Over a Minor key you can only use the Blues Scale or Minor Pentatonic :-)
I really struggle getting a good sound from holes 1 and 2 I don't know if it's me or my harmonica as I'm a beginner, any advice please?
bigseanSM, the 2 hole is difficult for most beginners, me included. It’s a known problem. Watch videos and keep at it, you’ll get there
@@eddyengland5398 cheers mate 😎
Hi Sean, like Eddy said, the 2 draw is tough. This will hopefully help you - ruclips.net/video/QTzyM-mq7Qc/видео.html
Why the bend in the hole 3 is not the same sound like you ??
Pourquoi le bend dans le trou 3 a pas le même son que vous ??
Best regards
You can bend the 3 hole 3 separate semitones down. In this video he only did 1 semitone. I'm thinking you are bending 2 or even 3
Andre Renou selon ton placement de langue
Si sib la lab plus ou moins distinctement selon la technique soit tu les articules soit
En legato en fondu pourrait on dire
Amuse toi à avancer reculer la langue dans la bouche vers le bas vers le haut
Ou tu peux aussi essayer d’avancer ou reculer
Le menton il y a plusieurs écoles
Et si tu te munis d’un accordeur chromatique
Tu verras vraiment les notes que tu produits
Dans ce cas précis on cherche un SIb par rapport à la gamme blues
Peut être altères tu trop vers un la voire lab
Bonne continuation
Ami harmoniciste ;)
Salut Andre, les reponses de Jango et Antonie sont parfaites :-)
@@antoinefontenelle ça fait des mois que j essaye , sans grand résulta .
Merci quand même pour tes explications !!
Si tu sais altérer les autres notes en 1 2 4 et 6
Ça peut venir de ton réglage de lame
Mais je pense plus que tu débutes et
Altère trop
Bonne continuation ;)
I think 1 octave at a time.....I am the Key in G
Solid idea Gareth ;-)
I can’t follow a thing you say.....even from the beginners videos....sorry mate 🤷♂️
Hi Craig, I'm so sorry to hear that. What are you working on at the moment?
Go away then.
@@TomlinHarmonica don't be discouraged because as always this is a FABULOUS lesson (albeit not for beginners perhaps). I always thought that there was a switch beyond 6 blow but now I understand. Thanks my friend.
