***How to play Harmonica: That NYE song, Auld Lang Syne

[KuvaPefo]

That was an easy one! Yaaay thanx! ;D

[mynameisjoeo]

I am learning this now for the new year! thanks!

[MrJackieboy10]

I stopped it at the part where he tried it again

[saintfan07UK]

THANK YOU!!! i just bought my first harmonia and this is the first song i have learnt

[Waxuci]

I've been trying to figure out how to play this one, and this video was helpful. However, you aren't playing the end properly. Here is the correct tab:

3 4 (3) 4 5 (4) 4 (4) 5 (4) 4 4 5 6 (6)

(6) 6 5 5 4 (4) 4 (4)

5 (4) 4 (3'') (3'') 3 4

(3'') is the second draw bend, necessary to reach the A note.

[tinozman]

How do you do the second draw note, and what is 3"? I can't find that elusive note.

[tinozman]

@Waxuci how do you do the second draw bend, the A note?

[Waxuci]

@tinozman That is a tough question with a tough answer. There are plenty of better sources on youtube and elsewhere on how to bend notes. Basically it's about changing the shape of your throat to deepen the pitch. If you inhale through your nose while you play the 3 draw, you may get a sense of how to do it.

"Second draw bend" is not the right way to say it. I mean bend the 3 draw down a whole step from B to A. It is tricky to get just the right tone (Not Bb, not Ab, but A).

[KuvaPefo]

@Waxuci I just tried it, and with some practice it does actually sound like the correct end. Thanx!

[caasa]

WOOOOOWWWWWWW GOOD!!!!!!!

[wolboatpo]

THIS IS THE DUTCH ANTHEM

[TheMrAardbei]

@wolboatpo indeed it is :P greets from holland

[wolboatpo]

@TheMrAardbei de groeten terug, hahaha

[pboi54]

sorry but you waffle on a bit too much, less chat more playing harmonica if you will

[Ikkeiltkortemark]

i think the third 4 must be a 3...

[Ikkeiltkortemark]

I think the 3th 4d must be a 3d..

[GhostofSparta54]

what's with the end of the song? It doesn't sound right

[CRAZY3603601]

[pazzmanmusic]

@Flint0199 thanks alot for checking in mang!

[Australia19911509]

Hey ! I'm sorry to be Johnny Raincloud here... But you have it written down wrong...you do play it good, it's just that that the third number should be a 3 draw, and not a 4 draw...

You do bring it nice though!

[Constanzaps]

Thanks for this vid! I´m from Argentina and taking my first steps. Was stuck with my teacher´s assignments and with your instructions, taking off!

[pazzmanmusic]

[DAAZZ1980]

Just to let you know, that the first part of the son is wrong on your sheet. It's supposed to be, blow 3, blow 4, draw 3. You have, blow 3, blow 4, draw 4.

[Azunaii]

GJ that is exactly what it says in the description. /applaud

[WWLinkMasterX]

[dlink5]

[joslouis160695]

[Tonysguboriau]

[xRyanIsBored]

middle of September? but you posted the video.. before September even began. haha =]

[pazzmanmusic]

weird... i think the video date messed up! weird.

[KaiFrostX]

Awesome, that was a fantastic demonstration of how to play a song, I learned alot from just watching your videos, (Just started to play the Harmonica), also I think I have the same harmonica that you have! Blues Harp C With silver plate and wood center. ;) I'm looking forward to learning more from you! :D

[PinkFloydDroid88]

[spartacsero]

thanks :D i did i playd a song!!

[Arbator177]

i love your videos...make them easy to understand how to play a song with in like 30 mins i have it down. thank you!

[Fruscianteistheman]

Bob Dillon plays harmonica w/ NO HANDS

[renataoliveira08]

love the draw to help us =)

[Punchy357]

yeah your vids really do help tho. thanks for the lessons.

[dannyarrex]

thanks for being so funny. thanks for the good how to...

[n3rdych1ck]

Question.. Can someone play harmonic w/only one hand?

[pazzmanmusic]

Answer..  Yes

[PlayHarmonicaEasily]

Great video my friend, make more

[SuiZideKitten]

Thanks man took me bout 10 mins to learn to play it and it was the first time using one ur great thanks again

[PasLeXIV]

hey guys, i'm new to harmonica and i just wanted to know if it's normal, that i have to blow the higher holes a little harder in order to get a sound or if i'm doing something wrong?! thanks in advance :)

[ShiroTheGreat]

Yes it is. I'm new myself and have found out that the 9 and 10 hole are kinda hard to blow. If you want, open your harmonica and adjust the reeds JUST A PINCH. The draw will be easier and the blow u kinda have to live with (lol) but you can adjust it a bit to make it sound better. Hope that helps.

[rebekaalcala0]

I really like ur videos, and i would really appreciate it if you keep giving classes. i am a beginner, i love the harmonica and i find myself learning from you more than anybody else

[NesseProductions]

Hi my name is Simen and Iam a 15 year old guy from Norway. Just want to say that I have seen all your how to play harmonica and its realy helping me! so thanks and please make more of does!

[Sjorezz]

I'm just starting playing the Harmonica. THANKS MANN!!

[ossenna]

hey man sounds goooooood!

thx for occuping me on this boring 26th! maybe i'll be ready to play it in a couples days ;)

[jnothem]

I think the first draw 4 is supposed to be a draw three. Maybe Im wrong. Anyway.... I just want to let you know that you are an amazing teacher. I love learning from you.

[nathalood]

some great comedy there, but yeah, it's good help to all us newbs, and as to zzzzaaah, the notes will come naturally to you eventually, i play bass and guitar and after a while you just know where to play. Cheers harmonica dude!

[mohit1]

thanks bro =)

[monkeyboy82495]

awsome!! i did it on my first try you are a great teacher keep up the good work oh and hapy NEW YEAR!!

[SoloBen247]

1:05 <- just so i can rewind

[khold6]

"so uh... happy new year. in the middle of september."

lol

[zzzzaah]

how far are you supose to move your mouth to go to the next note? I often find myself looking at the harmonica to see if im in the right place.

[pazzmanmusic]

you should just feel it out.. takes practice, then you'll just kinda do in naturally ...

cheers

mp

[Bennognome]

i love this song ;D and now i can play it on the harmonica, awesome. Thanks! :D

[Weltar]

isnt the third note 3 draw ?

[pazzmanmusic]

yes... good catch

[Weltar]

no big deal! thanks for all your harmonica videos!

[zzzzaah]

We sang this song at my school thanks dude 5 starz

[fizzlemcgee]

u r awesome dude im got my harp yesterday and im halfway through this thayng

thnx again

[LehaLavr]

haha u layed! :)

[edgertonuk]

The song is Scottish.

I'm from Edinburgh

[Ricoticoduco]

It sounds weird in my G harp!! sorry i am a beginner but shouldnt it be sounding the same?

[pazzmanmusic]

No sir.. your G harp is in a different key then my C harp.. so it should sound on the whole lower.. but the relative distances between the notes should be the same, just transposed down to a G from a C...

*It's like if a little girl with a high voice sang happy bday, and a fat dude with a low voice.. still the same song, just a different key...

[Ricoticoduco]

Woa Sweet...Thanks for da reply! Ya it sounds right now just that i messed up my blowing earlier on. :)

[LukeSchneider77]

can you help me? the last 5 notes just don't sound just right thanks, bye!

[pazzmanmusic]

you just slide it down and slurr the notes

[LukeSchneider77]

hey thanks, and thanks for responding

*subscribes* and five stars

[Spencerian]

Whoa dude! That numbering system you made is just soooooo easy to understand. I am a total music dunce, but your vid has made it so easy to learn and play. Thanks so much for this video, and I hope to see more!!!

[pazzmanmusic]

[broadhead2007]

Great way to learn, I love the Harmonica leasons, it is teaching me heaps, I practise as I drive to and from work here in Australia, while dogging the Kangaroos the hop down the roads. This way no one sufferes from my music except me :-)

[pazzmanmusic]

hahah... thats awesome mate!! thanks for the note!

[UJS8X]

most excellent! now I can play Aud Lang Syne on bagpipes and harmonica! now I just need to figure out how to do it at the same time. hmmm...

[pazzmanmusic]

Ha. well you can store air in the bag of the pipes, yea? That would be something id like to see!@!

[PowerTaken]

Again just wonderful. Chilling song.

[pazzmanmusic]

It's a classic, isn't it? I love the harp for carrying simple melodies... i think next on the agenda is some beatles stuff... thanks for watching... powergiven...

mp

[Khaosshredder135]

hey pazzman, i know alot of people who would love to learn "when the saints go marching in" if you could possibly do that, it would be awesome. i love your little lessons, i am so enjoying the harmonica, i have had it about 24 hours and i can play about 4 songs already, and improvise to blues and jazz. i am a musical person after all haha.

thanks alot bro, god bless

x

[MiUtreg]

i like all of your vidio's i bought a harmonica 2 weeks ago and the 12 bar bleus is almost working. by the way i just readed the german has a version of this song to we in holland have one to XD i alway that it was a dutch song. :P but keep on making those vidio's they are great.

[pazzmanmusic]

Awesome! Glad to help... Please check out some of the original music as well if you can... thanks for the note!

[EmanTheMusicMan]

wow i found a harmonica yesturday and i wanted to learn the basics and i found you, your so good ive learnd alot from your video

[Citam18]

The song is from germany and is called nehmt abschied brudher ( farwell brothers)

[pazzmanmusic]

I think there are several versions of it... cool for the german take on it...

[TASHAish]

wow ily muchly

[pazzmanmusic]

like illy, like sick.. in a good way? im hip to your jive... danka...

mike

[timmahlicious]

By the way, you alone sir spawned my interest into wanting to learn the harmonica.

All it took was a youtube search for "xavier rudd," one of my favorite musicians...you can deduce the rest I'm sure.

So, I'll take an Irish Car Bomb in your honor tonight. Happy New Year!

[pazzmanmusic]

hahaha... awesome!! Glad I was able to help!! I too will have a drink with you (in spirit) (well and in actuality of course)

Cheers and happy New Years!

[timmahlicious]

ha does someone want to give me the right ending real quick? I could figure it out, but right now i'm just practicing that first part because i've only had a harmonica for 4 days

[pazzmanmusic]

Is there another part that I am not playing? I am unaware if that is the case.

[timmahlicious]

no my bad dude, I just meant that your last two notes seemed a little off to me. Of course, it's all a matter of style.

I simply changed the last two notes to 2(draw) and 3(blow). At four in the morning, it seemed to suit me.

Mind you, I really have no idea what I'm doing but once I get it down well enough I might just post it on youtube via my cell phone (i've got to cram it into 15 seconds however).

[pazzmanmusic]

no worries my friend... would love to see the progress as a response here!!!

[doriansgray]

it's pronouced "old lang zine", i believe.

[thecato]

great vid, looking forward to move. thanks!!!

[03301979]

the third note should be a circled 3, instead of a 4, and I don't know what youve got going on with the ending, but it still helped me enough to get it on my own. Thanks!!

[pazzmanmusic]

you are right! chesty pointed that out as well... glad it helped and you are paying attention. Make sure to bring your harp out on NYE!!!!

[pazzmanmusic]

chesty772 found a mistake i made... please note.. this is the correct start..!!! 3 4 (3) 4 5 ...

[MrZer000]

yay, i did it! maybe u dont know, but before 2 minutes we played together in a duett.. :D

[pazzmanmusic]

Niiice man... you should take a recording of it, and post it as a response here!

[MrZer000]

xD

lol, i dont got a digi cam, but its still fun! thnx for posting

[chesty772]

nice, thanks for doing that, but it doesn't sound right on my harp unless I play 3 4 (3) 4 5 ...

[pazzmanmusic]

oooh Wow.. Chesty, Great Catch!!! You are right! I must be slipping.. I will need to re-post this one... also, your name intrigues me.. is there a story behind it?

[chesty772]

my name? I have huge breasts. sounds great, but it's pretty gross considering I'm a large hairy man.

actually, it just what people call me, it's a play on my surname.

[pazzmanmusic]

hahahaha...

[OlafUssberg]

HEy, thanks man!  Greets from Germany and a new fan of yours!!!!

[pianonut06]

nice vids man

hahaha hapy new years in september
