Is there a bank of audio samples for the exercises when you buy the book? I’m excited to get the book, and being able to hear what it should sound like while learning would greatly help!
Honest to goodness, I have noticed a significant difference in my fluidity after working with the first 10-12 exercises over the last 3-4 weeks. It really works! I'm not endorsing anything. I'm just telling it as I've experienced it.
I am just a beginning player (only two months now), but I got the book at the recommendation of Jonah Fox, and I have been studying this. It is definitely not a "How-to-Play-Harmonica Book." What I am using it for is to form a basis of how to properly breath and properly get into the rhythm of playing. I figured if I can develop these habits early on in my learning, I will be Light Years ahead of where I would be if I never read the book. Hey, if I, a disabled Vietnam vet, can learn from this book, so can you! If you are serious about playing, consider it. Cheers.
Awesome. I would buy it if it came as an ebook for my ipad. I’m a traveller and it’s just not convenient for me to order a physical book (i’m taiwan right now). Hope it comes in a digital format soon!
Howard is Consistently changing the harmonica game!
Thank you my friend!
I was so frustrated about playing chords poorly, I came up with a new sound. I hope to pass along my primary technique to control intonation of chords. Be confident that the "L" embouchure is worthwhile. It takes about a month to learn. That's why no one ever tried it. Okay, say LLLLLLL and hold that position. Try to speak plainly like that. In order to say the sound without vocalizing. This is your new upper lip and your new soft pallet. You'll have no nose so breathe through your lower lip. Use the corner of your lip to grab a higher note, the other to grab a lower note. It's a consolidated embouchure tor all aspects of harmonica sounds.
See the invisible by the heart is the way of the musician...
Just bought your book after watching your video (on another amazon homepage. I´m from europe). So thank you Howard for your inspiring ideas and explaining, how it would improve your playing. 😎👍
Just ordered. Still using and figuring out all you taught me through ArtistWorks and can’t wait to add these new skills. I’m getting to play blues and rock-a-billy with a house band every other Thursday. And I get to tell them I learned from the best. Just celebrated my 2nd year on the harmonica on 7/13. A heck of a ride!!
Howard
You are one of the quite and passionate players of our time.
I love your playing, enthusiasm and humour
Thanks for putting this together for us
Just ordered it
It is available in the UK
Playing for 25 years and am always humbled at how much there is to learn and explore. Ordered your book and am anxious to dive in. Thanks for being out there Howard.
Thanks for ordering. Hope you enjoy it!
Oh, yeah, and I am subscribing to your channel. Cheers again!
Hi Howard, I've been playing diatonic harmonica for about 11 years now and as you can see from my channel, I have made lots of covers using 12 different keys. Does this book have lessons in overblowing and overdrawing exercises for advanced players like me? You're an amazing player and enjoy your playing.
Ordered my copy now and will be recommending this to my students as well. Good man Howard, another gamechanger!
Thank you!
@@HowardLevyland 🙏
Congratulations on the new book Mr. Levy! Definitely a must have.
Thank you!
You know what exists absolutely no where for listening? Trio Globo's "Carnival of Souls". It's not on RUclips, it's not on Spotify... It's practically an urban legend! I just purchased the CD and it should be here Monday. If I hadn't gotten Rhythms of the Breath, I would have missed out on it.
Interesting how do you tune your harp. Im used to regular marine band and just compromise. Now I ordered volume 2 of your book. Very inspiring and see if I can take a step further
Thanks alot
Great addition to the Harmonica bookshelf!
I was checking the book on Amazon after watching your video, and there is no sample page(s) to show the actual exercises.
Something that was overlooked perhaps?
Cheers and hope you get the urge to write a few more :)
It looks great!
What embouchure do you recommend to start with?
Thanks
Just received book. On page 14 please explain the last paragraph better
Gotta get that book 📖📖📖📖📖📖😂😂😂😂😂😂. !!!!!!

i cant wait to study it! thanks maestro!
Wow, very cool Howard. This is my 48th year playing harmonica and I was full-time pro at age 20. At that time there were not too many players who could make a real living being a legit and respected lead instrument, rather than a "novelty" instrument....practicing 4 hrs. per day helped! Started in traditional Bluegrass Bands, then full-time in country honky-tonk, later for 10 years had a Swing Dance (rhythm section, female vocals, 1 or 2 horns w/me), Jazz, Blues, R&B Band for 10 years, then Austin for 7 yrs. as a hired player and studio sessions. I dropped out of public playing in the middle years due to working in a non-profit. I do not read music but do listen to drummers often to help improve groove, especially in funk and swing. The concept of this book looks perfect, going to buy one now!
Thank you as always Howard for all you bring to the harmonica community for the instrument and of course the joy of music to everyone.
Made the purchase and it will be here in 2 days! Thank You Howard.
Thank you!
How do I get one Howard? Oh nevermind I found it in the description..
Excellent Howard!
This is a good news, thanks Howard!
Thank you! Keep on harpin'!
Outstanding! I still often refer to your new directions for harmonica dvd... Can't wait for this!
Are you giving lessons?
Looks great ! Congratulations !
Thank you!
How you doing my brother I wrote to you a couple of months I just received my copy of your book I wish it had a play alone DVD I'll try to figure it out I'm self-taught I'll let you know how I'm doing. Take care for now fantastic book by the way
Thank you! And we do have audio samples at levyland.com.
Just ordered
hey there Howard, you've done it again! Sincere Kudos! I'm keeping my piano, guitar, organ, viola, recorder etc chops up~ found memories of our NU time together Douglas G
So good to hear from you, and thank you! Glad you are doing well.
Mr. Howard can I use this book on chromatic harmonica?
Yes. The principles behind the exercises will apply, but they won’t sound the same because the chromatic has a different layout and a different number of holes.
I got mine yesterday! Thank you Howard!
Enjoy it!
Seems not available right now (in Amazon)
Hmmm, a glitch? Looks fine here. Maybe try another Amazon Marketplace?
@@HowardLevyland ok i will, thanks
I bought it!
I'm japanese.
I bought your books.
I'm excited,,:^)
Hi Howard. As I have been a fan of your style(s) of playing and your teaching for a long time I ordered your new book without hesitation. Yesterday it arrived here in germany. Now I wonder where to start. I am a Blues Player, playing a lot of twelve bar blues, but also eight and one bar blues. Also I move to Jazz-Blues progressions. Always 4/4 time. Could You please recommend the exercises in your book that are perhaps the most relevant ones for blues players like me? Thank you very much😊
🙏 👍 👌 👏 Mr Levy.
I just ordered this book.
I’m new, just mastered twinkle little star.
When you say only 10% of the book needs overblows or bends, does that mean 10% of the notes in each exercise? Or does that mean that 90% of the exercises can be played completely through without overblows? I don't overblow. If I can learn from 90% of the book it could be a good investment.
10% or less of ALL the exercises use bends; maybe 2-3% use Overblows/Overdraws. You can go through more than 90% of the book without bending or OB.
You should use your piano thinking for your next book,
Super news! Will order mine immediatly! One question- are there soundtracks also with the book?
Yes- links in Description Box & Comments.
I’m buying it.
Correction. I bought it. On the way.
😄 Thank you!
I’m well into the book. I’m not as fast as you are. But it is improving my playing. I keep going back and doing the lessons over and over then moving on.
I just buy the book today :)
Ordered!
so i have to be able to over blow to perform lessons?
Leland- no, only about 2 or 3% of the exercises inlude overblows.
bought it too
Thank you!
Is there any audio files? Thanks
Yes- links in Description Box & Comments.
Thanx, Sir! Bought it. 🎵🎶
Thank you!
I've been playing for about thirteen and a half years. Lots of people tell me how good I am, but folks like you, Jason Ricci, Adam Gussow, Christelle Berthon...keep me in my place.
I'm so excited about this book. Just the couple of exercises in the video are enough to keep me busy for awhile. You hit the nail on the head. I've plateaued, and this is just what I need!
First step to transforming your mind is to stop watching youtube.
Huh?
