Wahnsinn! Kann mir mal einer erklären wie das Bending funktioniert? Wenn ich das mit diesem "uuuiii" mach, verändert das die qualität vom TOn aber nicht dessen Lage -.- HELP!!^^ Und wie bekommt man diesen "rauen" Ton hin?
Wow, u r amazing!!:).. hey could u plse advice me upon d harmonica i should buy.. I've been playing an old diatonic D.. I'm searching 1 easy 2 clean..
Thanks for the compliment on my harmonica playing my friend. As a rule I like to play mostly Honer Harmonicas and blues harps. Try an Echo harmonica in the keys of "C" and "G" and try lots of things never limit what you think can be done with any instrument. I hope this helped you some.
I hold it that way due to my wrist and hand situation. I quite literaly had my hand tore off in an accident as a teenager. it's he best i can do with it considering my circumstances.
Hi Amando. I got it caught in a carnival ride . I worked there for many years. The ride was running i got my sleeve caught in a seat as it went by and the rest is history lol. It works well for the most part now. although i do have days where i can't even feel it's there connected to the rest of my arm.
Hi kigger. I don't remember what i really did when i got started playing my harmonica. I just picked it up and played it for my parents. The tune i played was an old celtic tune that my father knew. I just played daily from that time on. I kept trying new things as the years went on. And I never shyed away from playing for people who knew how to play.
You need to learn to play one note at a time, and to bend notes. If you can do those two things, you are a good way down the road. It is much easier to bend notes when you "draw" (suck in) than when you blow.
I recently just noticed the way of holding harmonica as you did in the vid. Terry Mcmillan and Steve Baker also use this technique. Is there any benefit to do that?
Hi BlackRockCat. The reason we hold our blues harps and some harmonicas that way is this. I can open and close my hands to different degrees of openness to allow the tone to move wobble or change it's tone. it is a very commonly used technique with harmonica players. Try it and see how it works for you. Keep trying different ways of opening and closing your fingers and hands untill you find your own special blend of you in the music.
I love the way you play this! Either you have altered the melody a bit for the diatonic harmonica, or it is a somewhat different version from the one I am familiar with. It sounds great.
