Harmonica Lesson For Beginners

This is my attempt at a video for newbies to the diatonic harmonica. Sorry for my "diatonic" slip up. I learned by ear and am only now trying to learn some theory. For more, and better harmonica lessons, check out jon gindick, adam gussow, jason ricci, and ronnie shellist. I've got more coming too.

More notes are available by "bending". also, it takes practice to play just one note at a time. Keep trying.

i dont get all the different notes out of my harp like you. and i dont know where is the problem, because I switch blowing and drawing... can you help me?

MOST music store guys know NOTHING about harmonicas. I use my "B" harp. . .maybe once/twice a year. B harp plays second position over F#, third position over C#. Not common blues keys. You can learn anything on any harp with Tablature. The licks that I teach will all work (3B, 3D, 4B, 4D)but they'll be in a different key. You'll need more harps eventually, anyway. Get a C harp too, next time you're shopping.

I bought a B harmonica from Hohner, but i think the salesman didn't know where he was talking about. Is this the right harmonica to get started with?

i got one like that too, nice harm.

sure. it's fine. any key is fine. The advantage of the key of C is that more instructional material is available in that key.

is a D blues Harp a good choice for a beginner
