I have my Grandad's Hohner "Chromonica" Chromatic Harmonica which he bought whilst he worked on the railroads around 1950. Im just starting to learn harmonica on a Hohner Marine Band that I've just bought though.
This kid is playing the Chromatic Harmonica. In these harmonicas you have the sharps and flats. It's possible to do a complete 12 note scale. Each hole has 4 reeds. A push slide on the side determines which set of two reeds are played. These harmonicas are quite expensive. Start at a young age and learn early on this one. This harmonica happens to be in the key of C. Notice the kid's finger as he plays.
i wish this guy had a channel. i wanna hear more of his stuff. if only more kids were interested in real music like the blues and rock and roll. then the jonas brothers wouldn't exist.
Has more emotion than many of those shitty "BEST HARMONICA PLAYER EVERRRRRRRR" vids which are people going WHOAWHOAHOWHOAWOHAHOW into a harmonica and spazzing out. It makes it stupendous
you know what i like? all these people saying "greatest harmonica player" on youtube and just going fast and spazzy. Then this kid comes on and plays something real bluesy and soulful that is what it's actually about. good job man, good job.
The kid is good... as long as he sticks with it, he can become one of the major jazz chromatic harmonica players. Oh, and its chromatic harmonica, not chromatic scale harmonica.
Keep on harpin young man! You're on your way, nice bends and good tone. Stevie Wonder started out and became a master of the chromatic harp! Don't ever quit. Graceful kid.
before Elvis (the king of rock and roll) ever hit the stage, he was inspired by names such as BB King, Leadbelly, and Fats Domino. All blues musicians..
@PizzaBlade17 tons of songs have harmonica in them: The Doors-Roadhouse blues Rolling Stones-Miss you Sabbath-The wizard Led Zeppelin-You Shook me,When the Levee breaks Creedence Clearwater Revival-run Through the Jungle Cream-Spoonful, Take it Back Aerosmith-Train Kept a rolling The Who- Baba O'rielly Steppen wolf-Lawdy Mama Van Morrison-Baby Please Dont go The Beatles-I should of known better Tom petty-last dance with mary jane
@TBeanIV you shook me sponful and most of dat song are blues original songs so dont talk shit you dont know bout blues and music you just listen to white imitations have ever listen to muddy and little walter o sbw?
Damn he came with the Chromatic not only is it harder but there's just a certain sound you can get from them. lol Well not me but obviously this kid can.
Yo wat3rmonk3y i bet at his age u could not play like dat and i bet ar ur age i bet u said "Mommy these kids where talking about a harmonica, what is that?" so shush ya mush !!
