one trick when you're a beginner, put some tape over the holes you aren't using, start with just the 1 and 2 holes until you can hit them clean and find all the different stuff you can do, then go to just 4,5,6,7 holes. play a scale,

[kickingmule]

Thanks a lot for the advices.

I need them for sure !

Sorry to say I cant play according to notes, but I'm glad I know how to make "noise" out of this little instrument ! With good help from my friends here on Youtube !

Next year, I will improve. I hope ? Until then.....

Happy New Year !

Peace !

Hi Urban...Sounding good...just beginning to play myself....I like 68blues suggestions

[kickingmule]

Yes Michael,

I will follow 68blues suggestions.

I need for sure advices, but the only way, I think, is to practise, over and over again.

Glad to hear you started playin the harp too. Good Luck ! It's hard, but we never give up, do we ?

Nope !!!

Peace Bro

[68blues]

Hey reliablebow and Urban.

How are things with the practice.

I'm sure things are better than they were 1 month ago.

Anyone who plays the blues harp is one cool character..........excellent.

[kickingmule]

I keep on practice.

It ain't easy to play the blues harp, but I never give up, so I'm gonna "terror" you with some more songs as time goes by. He..heee...!!!!

I hope the recordings and my playing will improve.

Thanks for making a stop at my channel !

Stay cool !

We need it here in Sweden cause the weather is "hot like Hell". I prefer Hot Blues !

[fackarow]

Fick ett munspel för ett tag sedan, försöker lära mig å spela så jag vet hur svårt det är. nice work brother // Robin R

[kickingmule]

Hej Robin, jag bara tutar på och en dag så sitter det. Detta är bara ett försök och alla råd liksom lyckönskningar är välkomna.

Tack för din kommentar.

Ha dä gött, dä har ja i Gbg

Hi Urban, here's what i did when i started the guitar. Got myself a few tutorials on the basics like scales and easy technical information. Practiced the scales till they bored the ass of myself. Get yourself a few books on easy blues songs which you will find are too easy because you've been practicing your scales,Buy harmonica blues for intermediates and just keep progressing.

The key is practice and if you really enjoy the sound you are making you are already there.

Your videos cool.

[kickingmule]

Thanks for the good advices.

Much appreciated. I think I follow your advices, cause when I started to play the guitar I did like you say.

I think the "key" to progress is just to practice over and over again.

It's never too late to learn !

Peace Brother, Take Care !

Urban

[Yeractualpatience]

Hi Urban, You're branching out man. I tried the Harp back in the early 1970s, never could get the hang of it. Hell, for a beginner!!! you're doing fine. I never got anywhere as good as this. Keep sucking and blowing, (a beer sure helps from time to time), and having fun with the devil's music!

[kickingmule]

lain, the harp is hard to play, ( but fun).

I always wished I could play it, so what to do ? You start, cause you are never too old to learn something new.

I also did the upload to get advices from my friends, to improve my effort to play better. Perhaps I reach the point I'm satisfied, meaning, ready to play for the Devil ! ( Much more Bluesy !!! )

Take it, you know, but take it ( or leave it )

Urban

[Kdees]

Joplin's Mercedes Benz was recorded in 970 I guess , Joplin died b4 the song came out

[kickingmule]

Thank you.

I know Janis was "hard" on so called "hard stuff", so it don't surprise me, she died young, but this one was a Hit ! Sorry to say after her death.

Peace Brother !

[Kdees]

Kickingmule you are the man!!

[RosieKeepinthepromis]

Harmonica is a deceptiviely difficult instrument.

Keep playing the blues. :))

[kickingmule]

Rosie, you are so right about playing the harp. It's hard ! But I did the upload to get some advice after 2 months of blowing/sucking it !

I promise, I'll keep practising !

Peace.

Urban

[xxxxharp]

Urban,  Nice work on the harp. I am impressed. Keep on harpin'. Jay

[kickingmule]

Thanks a lot Jay.

This is my very first attempt to play the harp and I did the upload to get some advice from blues-harpers from my friends. ( Not a Mercedes Benz, *smile* )

I promise to practise, so I can get the right sound. It takes time, but it's fun and that's the most important thing to me !

Peace Brother, Bluesharper !

[tutalind]

Öva på att spela en ton i taget, genom att forma munnen som när man visslar. Då kan du böja tonerna på inblås i hål 2, 3 och 4, där dom bluesigaste tonerna ligger.

[kickingmule]

Tack Tuta.

Dina råd betyder mycket för mig, trots att jag är en amatör som alltid önskat jag kunde spela "Blues-Harp" för husbehov !

Tycker det låter "bluesigare" när jag suger, men jag visste inte var.

Men nu vet jag !

Tack ska du ha och hälsa Gänget !

Urban

[tutalind]

Tjena Urban, schysst lirat! Det är ju en ära att få en blues uppkallad efter sig, man tackar!

Det låter som att du spelar i c på ett c-munspel. Det blir bluesigare om du spelar i c på ett f-munspel, second position. Eller i g på ett c-munspel. Då utgår man från hål 2, inåt.

Ser fram emot fler munspelsvideosar!

/Mr Tuta

[kickingmule]

Hej Tuta.

Gjorde denna upload för att få råd och anvisningar i munspelets svåra konst. Dan började tuta i ett strax före Jul och inspirerade mig att göra nåt kul.

Så nu var det dags, nu när jag hittat alla hål i munspelet, att blåsa/suga i och göra nåt kul med, så namnet på låten var självklar, eftersom Du är den Bäste i mitt tycke.

Jo, ett c-spel, som jag började med, som nybörjare.

Ha dä gött Vännen.

Peace.

Urban

I've always wanted to play the Blues-harp, so this upload is to get some advice ,hoew to play it.

Fab. Urban*****S

[jtls8]

I couldn`t give you any advice, so had to

give you stars:)

[kickingmule]

It's OK JT. I need advice in how to play the Blues-harp, but stars are also welcome, as they encourage me to continue, havin' fun with my harp.

Thanks for the comment and as always :

Peace Brother.

[rasmichael]

We're not here for a long time. We are here for the good time :)

[kickingmule]

You are so right, so why not have fun, though this one sounds terrible in my ears. But I promise to practise.

Please, have mercy, but I love Music and it's fun !

Peace Brother.

Urban

[checkraisedbywolves]

I gave the stars............and I'll give you some advice,too:

"At last : Keep On Having fun with Music ! I had fun with this piece ! "

A joy to see and hear.

"The lover of life's not a sinner" ,and neither is the lover of music.

[raymondcrooke]

Can't give any advice about playing the harp. Sounds good though.

[blindbonder]

Good stuff Urban.

Your harmonica playing is really coming along nicely! I would recommend working on trying to get more single notes. It will help to give a nice clean sound to your playing, and it tends to give more feeling to the music. If you shape your mouth like you're whistling, it will help you get those single notes. Hope it helps a bit, and keep the good music coming! All the best, Ami

[kickingmule]

Thanks Ami, I reallly appreciate your advice.

I sure wanna keep on praticing, til I get the Bluesy sound, instead of this poor one.

Take Care and once again, thanks for the advice and listening.

Peace.

Urban

[sfdog1369]

Good Harpin Bro !!!!

[kickingmule]

Thanks Bro.

I started to play the harp some months ago, so I hope it's getting better.

Its Easy To Be Easy When You Are Easy.

Peace.

[uwebde]

Wow, nice Blues Harp.

[kickingmule]

I'm sorry Uwe, but this is my first try to play the blues harp. I started some months ago and I have fun, so why not share the joy i have !

Peace Brother !

Music is fun !

Urban

[uwebde]

Peace !
