[doeboyfresh863]

[TedOfNod]

awesome. Quick question, when adding vibrato to the notes, are you doing the same thing as when you add vibrato when singing?

[TedOfNod]

[RonnieShellist]

@TedOfNod key of C, i recommend the Suzuki Manji

[tomharpman]

[helpless911]

You're the shit man! I saw your first video years ago.  I'm glad you're making more.

[helpless911]

You're the shit man!

[monkeyslapOno]

very inspiring 

[rockerrolling]

FLUID. great little twist at 1.53, as we say here in ireland " keep her lit "

[RDigi]

Ronnie, love this jam, listened to it a lot since I started playing, two questions for you, if you don't mind.

What is the guitar back you have playing? I love it.

also, what key are you playing in? I love the bends.

Thanks for sharing your skill with us, you're a great player!

And thanks in advance if you would like to respond.

[bloodgulge]

@RDigi He is playing a C harp. The song is in G, so the 3rd and 6th hole is your root note (G). Bends were almost all draw bends

[HarryIsTheGamingGeek]

That coat rack (someone correct me if I'm wrong) in the background is so fucking cool!

[RetroKeyboard]

Jesus fucking christ, I wish I could play the harmonica like you

[markusmachadoReturns]

[flooaweeb]

[HugeDeal]

Sounds great. I practice everyday, and just hope to one day sound like that. :)

[kungfucowofgooeynes]

What kind of harmonica is that? what key is it? mine sounds higher than the notes you play, yours sounds better? Where can i get a harmonica that sounds like that?

[barefootfiona]

A few days ago I managed to bend the first hole, and I can now do that fine, but even though I tried to copy exactly what my mouth does while drawing other holes, it doesn't work! Everyone else seems to get it within half a minute, but I've been trying for DAYS! What can I do?

[mrallnaturalltoo]

this is so cool. i have a couple questions. how long have you been playing? what is your preferred brand of harmonica? and what key of harmonica should i get if i want to play some slow, soulful, prison-style blues like in your other video "Slow Blues harmonica..."?

[luesoad]

good job

[1chavo28]

That was awsome..... I'll keep practicing

[RossieHoorn]

That is awesome man. I also want to kbow what music is in the background. I need that to learn to play the mondharmonica.

[doumkatek]

Wow, just wow. Harmonica is just..sexy.

[Thirsty58]

That was sweet, I enjoyed that a lot... a real smooth sound. I like the way you kick the blues around. What's the music in the background? Any advice on over blows?

[Ben80997]

I want to learn how to play the harmonica but I don't know what harmonica is good. I know that Hohner is a good company but have no idea what kind of harmonica to buy. Please help

[BerraG]

Most people recommend starting with a Hohner Special 20. It's the cheapest Hohner made in Germany.

[WalgreensWubby]

OH MAN I LOVE YOU

[joealanouf]

whats a goood harmonica brand to recament because all to offthen i buy a new horner or difrent brands and fuckers messe dup some how. week or sounds like som een threw a rench in the 7 or 8 draw. its agrivating as hell or i play them to the point of shit. should taht happen?

[51698271]

I got a lee oskar and a hohner theyr good enough

[joealanouf]

good enuff dont cut it any more. if one note is harry then its trash. unless im pan handlaing playing the intro to piano man .

[ChibiwolfXD]

I recommend a "Blues Bender." They are about $25 but great sounding and come in various keys. I suggest getting a C.

[sn0ch]

I need this guitar sound to practice with ;|, where to get a propper one like this ?

[mOr71m3r]

Try some Chuck Berry m8!

[JWBails]

Its just 12 bar blues

[sn0ch]

perfect

[ganymedeIV4]

Whats up with the harmonicas with the push tab on the side? it changes the keys when i pull it.

It's from the 1940's made by holsten? hoelstien? lol i'd have to go look.

anyways you look like you would know so I thought i would ask.

[Qwonks]

so youre harmonica has a "thing" on the left side (sry 4 bad english ^^) to push in ? maybe youll notice that every tone gets higher if you push this thing in ? thats because you have a chromatic harp, and on a chromatic harp bending isnt necessary. on the diatonic harp it is, of course. just surf around the web for diatonic and chromatic harp and youl find lots of informations ^^

[ganymedeIV4]

Thats a bunch man.

Got that old 1940's Harmonica from a Garage sale a old man was having.

Paid 25$ for it. But my toddler is having a blast with it.

Anyone else sort of think the guy in this video looks like the guy from the "Dog whisperer"

[hayleythehippiechick]

dude you are God on harmonica.

[StephZee]

Thats sweet. And WHERE did you get that shelf from? I NEED IT!

[Sille2345]

fantastic

[TRIXER1958]

Genial !!!!!!!!! Tx Ronnie !

[Gregparkerblues]

Great playing, Ronnie.You finally inspired me to go to your web-site.Your approach to 'learning blues harmonica' is well thought out,and very comprehensive.

I reckon I wouldn' t have taken until I was 55 to get on stage if I'd had all those tips .(30 yrs. ago would have been good.) 5*****

[mwclark7]

Your style is absolutely incredible. Could keep watching over and over. Fantastic tone as well.

[SkopTeocratico]
