    I opened for Canned Heat in the early 70s (at age 20). I was on drums then but now wanting to switch to harp (at age 66)

    Bought a Sonny Boy 1930s and then a Lee Oscar harmonica in C ,it's been in my pocket since that day and the pleasure and therapeutic benefits are a melody of peace. A true meditation any time any place.
    It's people like yourself who have encouraged and inspired me. Yer a top lad.

    Al Wilson was a genius harp player. Since I started to learn harmonica I've noticed his playing more than before. I think John Lee Hooker described him as the best he had played with. High praise. You do his legacy justice Tomlin. As a complete novice...this is a real tongue twister! Thanks

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  6 лет назад

      Al Wilson was very tasty indeed Anthony - John Lee Hooker had a lot of respect for Canned Heat as a band also. Thank you for your kind words! :-)

    playd harp since i was 16. i am 50 now . this solo is on the bucket list.. not just learning the solo but a heap of new sounds . I bend those bottom two reeds poorly!

    I originally heard this song played by Nine Below Zero when I first saw them live in the 90s with Billy Boy Miskimmin on harp, leading me to discover the Canned Heat original. I’ve since hear NBZ playing this with Mark Feltham on harp. That guy does a solo on it that takes it to a whole new level. Amazing player. I’m glad to find this video so I can learn it, although I will never be as good as Wilson, Feltham or Wilson. Or, for that matter, as good as Tomlinson Leckie. But I will have fun nonetheless.

    Great lesson, I enjoyed, thanks Tomlin!
    A reflexion for myself is that as I progress on my skills I feel more tempted to listen to the songs and figure out the licks by myself. I will continue watching and thumbing up your videos because they help me a lot too...
    Thanks again for the great work!

  • @MsKingoDisco
    @MsKingoDisco 6 лет назад +1

    Hello Tomlin, i tend to play harder when it comes to 2 draw bend, and speeding up the first lick is cancerously hard. What do you suggest?
    Btw you are the best harmonica education channel in youtube imo with the tabs and sheets, keep it up man!

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  6 лет назад

      Thanks for your kind words Burak :-). I would focus on practicing playing that 2 draw bend with less and less air. Work on using the minimum amount of effort to hit it. This will help you to speed up overall. :-)

    • @MsKingoDisco
      @MsKingoDisco 6 лет назад

      Tomlin Leckie LOL ı just realized that my 2 blow Reed is way too open, luckily i was working 2 whole step bend all the time with harder setup, now i can bend with no effort 😅 ty so much

  • @vitorangelo9155
    @vitorangelo9155 6 лет назад +1

    Great as always Tomlin. Now, do you know how to avoid making mistakes on harmonica. I mean, how to play clearly without playing an incorrect note. It always get in my nerves when in melodies like "oh suzana" I play something wrong. Just praticising I guess? Or is there another "secret" that you know?
    When you reach a certain level on the instrument you have to make sure that you don´t commit this "simple" mistakes haha

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Vitor - I would recommend practicing scales slowly until you can play them without making mistakes. Then gradually increase the speed but make sure you maintain the accuracy. Think of this as sharpening your knives before cooking :-)

      Hiya - I'm sorry to hear you have lost your motivation. That happens to all musicians regularly. The things that help me are going to see live music or having a performance to prepare for. I hope you get your mojo back.

      Hi Patrick - I think you might like my free Beginner's course which will give you all of the foundations you need - tomlinharmonicaschool.com/p/complete-beginners-harmonica-introduction-course The arrow with a 1 in the middle means you are bending that note which is quite an advanced technique for a beginner on the instrument. I hope that helps. Cheers, T
