Blues Harp Jamming

[LiamjONeil95]

what harp is this? and what key is it in? someone reply!

[jimmyfierro]

@LiamjONeil95 Sounds like a "C"

[louphc]

@LiamjONeil95 in fact it's a "A"

[XTwittyX]

What harmonica did you use in this video? please answer fast! thanks!!

[gestapodip]

More "air" sound than notes! Needs work. Don't quit that day job iron-jaw LOL!

[XTwittyX]

On what "canal?" is playing this LOW tone on 0:38? when i say "canal" you know what i mean.. i dont know how to say.. which "whole" in harmonica ;)

[MrTBlues]

@XTwittyX it´s hole 2 draw bend a whole step

[Dudin4tor]

Woah! I just realized that was only 1 minute 50 seconds. It felt long and sweet.

[2010ziek]

killer jammin. very well done

[noeszigi]

like this alot !!!

[GangWolfLightnin]

I think i'm gettin bored listening the same old 12 bar blues post-war stuff, i think pre-war artist were more original and rich in harmony like Chicken wilson & Skeeter Hinton.

[aaqilian]

nice guys!

[666hatemail]

good stuff

[geneandcool]

I want to play the guitar together.

[aicnemed]

What key is that harp man?

[4x4American]

@aicnemed Drop F sharp

[fngrpkn06]

Nice tuneage and great scenic video!

[jesse7037]

@Kudzaiofficial well what i meant to say is that u have a very simple approach which is great to build on but you really need to learn after guys like james cotton, sonny terry, and even some chromatic harmonica players like stevie wonder. Hardest thing to do for any harmonica guy is play by yourself and practice new rythms. Also try to use different harmonicas. The honer special 20 is one that is great for bends, blues harps like lee oscars are great for rythm and chugs but keep on it.

[jesse7037]

you need more practice blues harp man...study sunny terry

[TheENCHANTAH]

its videos like this that keep me practicing with my harp to get better and better

[bigstansk8]

very good man , awesome :)

[HermannPalmer]

Well done

[dakodamon]

what key of harp are u using?

[Cseikgergely]

Jagga-Jagga Shuu shuuuu BANG :D Great jam! Garatulaion :)

[Wwerner25]

[raggius92]

[TheKaizer0007]

No, this is a good place to play, kids go play on railroad tracks!  (don't really, unless your smart, not a good idea.)

[cannedbook]

Hey, guys! Fantastic scenery for a melancholic blues jam. Great skills, but the guitar could be a little louder and... stronger, you know what I mean. But it's all right, keep on playing 'cause you're doing it right!

[mumfahir]

very nice n excellent!!

[dvsskate310]

imagine if they both just got nailed by a train and the camera just kept filiming for 10 minutes.

[dancedanceterminator]

@dvsskate310 LOL

[hitter1]

@dvsskate310 why?

[scsiregram]

this is awesome !

[scsiregram]

this is awesome !

[fuxgood]

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

[DarkwingBoing]

i love this special kind of music :)

i'm going to buy my first blues harp by tomorrow. i hope i'll get the idea of how this works.

great job!!!!!

[dustyflair]

@DarkwingBoing 1st off it has to come from your SOUl...Not a quesstion of "if it works"

[DarkwingBoing]

@dustyflair yes of course, it has to, but my hands not able to do what my soul wants them to... i think i have to pull the plug off my head and then strat to play musik only with my soul xD

but i don't know how to pull that fuckin' plugg xD (...yet)

[dustyflair]

@DarkwingBoing If you want to play the blues you have to be the blues. Lose your girl, dog, car and job all in one day THEN play the blues. You will FEEL the difference.

[DarkwingBoing]

@dustyflair so i have just to wait for some realy bad times ;)

let's give it a try xD

Come on girl, leave me!!! xD

[RenataScorpion73]

Blues perfeito gaita e violao uhauuuuuuuu demaiissssssss

[oakleymurray1]

[08buu80]

ooooowww..... amazing man.... really cool... that's the kind of tricks i'm trying to learn by myself with my harmonica in C...

good job man...

[RockLakeMama]

Great stuff! What a location!!

[lopesflavio]

Amazing ! good job !!

congratulations from Brasil !!!

[Salbeibonsche]

[AllissonDiego29]

WATCH THE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH FUCK! :´(

[i2eye]

Yeah Joe!! Awesome!! Can't wait to jam with you sometime when we cross paths in the near future. I've played with Juke Logan and would love to play with you. Great video dude.

[Upritebass]

On a very personal note: I just had a very sad reuion with someone I loved more than life itself. We parted company with me being confused and very very sd. And

then I saw your reponse to my comment here (are you still following me, lol?). I played this video again, and hearing the music, now have a more positive yet instrospective attitude. I feel this man! Boy do I ever feel this now! Helps me cope. :-(

This is what the Blues is all about. :-]

Thank you again, Gentlemen!

[resojoe]

[freespiritblues]

Good jam! ya need a damn jug player in the backround ha.. that'd be sweet

[OGST33L]

unbeliavable i wanna play the harmonica like dat one day,cant afford a decent one though only those dollar store ones :/

[resojoe]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Hopefully we can get together again for some more train blues.

[scatswaper1221]

ha, that looks identical to where me and my freinds go to jam. i live in north florida and we walk down the train tracks and into the woods where we build a makeshift house and we jam.

[cody6334]

they are good enough to keep rythm with a train

[gerardjohn123]

Absolutely brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ylley]

magnificent!

[einstellwinkel]

Great.....

[Dominitrix69]

Now thats what im talking about, "Woman bring my bottle of whiskey!!!" oh yeah! haha. Awesome stuff guys.

[biskit460]

[TheYearTwentyTwenty]

[dbray1]

sometimes when i walk on train tracks i just feel like jammin......

[Guydagaita]

owow....congratulations!!!...p­erfect!!

[brokentoedspoon]

fake background

[resojoe]

Actually it's not. It's the real deal, mosquitos and all the other flying creatures that muggy Aug. day.

[brokentoedspoon]

lol soz

[lilstryer]

@resojoe haha righhtttt.There was no breeze and everything in the background was still. i am sure that is "real" alright.

[EddyLonewolf]

Who cares?

[NWOBHM1777]

@brokentoedspoon ha it does look fake huh

[1iRa]

@brokentoedspoon

gake and fay

[TedOfNod]

@brokentoedspoon lol it DOES look fake...but i don't see the need to go to all the trouble, faking a background, to play good music. :)

[MrMuddymilton]

@TedOfNod What´s your problem? They are waiting for the 2:19 train to Chicago... while playing. They will be successful!

[aigen25]

nice

[elamo10]

Awesome, only comment is the Ovation...not the best guy for the blues.

[ferb4llester]

Buenisimo!!!!!

[ietsmetskaerin]

This is beautifull, Keep on with the blues, you are really amazing guys...Thanks

[MrCampfiresongs]

What is the recommended key of a harmonica for playing this type of music? anyone?

[x8alexisonfire9x]

if the melody is in A then a D harp works well, if its G then a C harp sounds good and vice versa for both.

[resojoe]

Hi I'm playing an "A" harmonica in 2nd position (crossharp). The guitar player is in Key of E. Generally, the popular keys for blues songs are E, A, D, and G. so you would use A, D, G, and C harmonicas played cross harp.

thanks for watching.

[busterbone]

I like the Blind Owl's blues harp playing from vintage Canned Heat.

[busterbone]

Is one supposed to inhale, exhale or both into the instrument to get the right sound?

[magistellis]

You both Inhale and exhale to create different notes.

[umm888]

@busterbone yes u inhale and exhale at the same time... very difficult to learn.

[yogurtpimp]

because musicians just walk up and down railroads and stop randomly to play blues tunes.

its good

[Upritebass]

@yogurtpimp LOLOL! Now THAT'S funny! And this is good. real good. Just don't play so loud that y'all can't hear an oncoming train, because I want to hear more of this,

Your act is definitely not a train wreck .:-)

[resojoe]

@Upritebass , Thanks! These tracks are abandoned so no trains comin'. Hope to do more soon.

[pupyservant]

@Upritebass you can abviously see that it's been playen on a green screen xD

[19KyzerSosa75]

good job... on the guitar

[jfllr1]

@19KyzerSosa75 harsh...

[gosiawoodman]

Classic railway scenario...ha haaa...great

Good Job.

[ShowmetheBlues]

[zeitzuviel]

[songschreiber93]

That´s really cool!!!

Good music and good musicians!

[patrice67300]

from a french guy ! marvelous !!

[gregorisgod]

This is fantastic.

I've just picked up a harmonica and was wondering if you could give me any pointers on where to start?

Cheers, Gregor.

[resojoe]

That's a question that could take hours to answer! Probably your best bet is to take a look around at all the great harmonica instructional videos here on youtube and there are many to keep you going. Also, stop by my harmonica website linked in the info box to the right and have a look around there.

Thanks for watching!

[emulsyjna]

I have got blues harp in A with 10 notes, wonder, if anything like Yours? will try to learn something to play with it.

It is cool to have small instrument and go anywhere with it and play in a small minutes of time when guitar or piano isn't near :) to have a music in my pocket :)

[jimsmith1113]

i like yalls style man

i really dig it

[resojoe]

Thanks for watching!

[richmossi12]

great video is the guitar in regular tuning?

[resojoe]

Yep, Rick is playing in standard tuning.

Thanks for watching!

[jesuDBfootball]

[ToNYEO2502]

Wow... this should be like on the front door of Youtube building lol

[resojoe]

Thanks!

[resojoe]

100.000 views!! Thank you everyone who has enjoyed our video!

[sprintstar100]

Great blues guys. Would love to see more great quality stuff like this in the near future!!

[resojoe]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! We'll try and make more this summer.

[treatb09]

what kind of harp do u play it sounds awesome

[resojoe]

I'm using a Hohner Special 20 in the key of A. I have them available on my website if you can't find one local.

[bhryian]

i have a hohner blues harp in the key of e... im having a hard time playing the blues scale... any tips or any sites that you think might help... i play the guitar and i can play the blues there but im still new to the harmonica so im really clueless.... tnx in advance! nice jam by the way

[Luckiland]

over coool

[jhghob]

sweeeeeeeet as

the only way that could be better was if you were on a rocking chair on an old texan veranda :)

good job

[cyberfan5]

Great job.

[mammothsoulja]

u melted my soul at 1:00.

[BuckshotFacelift]

[feiz01]

[resojoe]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it!

[canephin]

this was really lame on many levels...too bad the train was late;)

[b2c095]

Harmonica not that good. If you want good instruction go see Adam Gussow.

[marzec]

This was lame for no reason

[streamgen]

that was really cool. reminds me of neil young

[fatal123321]

Dude! I just picked up the harp and I've been looking at videos to get a good idea of blues harmonica and I came across this and the guy has the same ovation I do, and I think the harp player has the same key I do

[tenichols10]

A harp played cross-harp in E

[blackstorm699]

looks like a green screen

[resojoe]

It would have saved us from all the mosquitoes if it was!

[enterBJ40]

oh man! what music you played!!!

its sound really cool...i mean it!!!

[lenny121]

if only people like you could get as much cash aboard for making real classic blues music as those shitty plastic pop "musicians" the youth gets bombarded with today i know you properly dont make music for the dollars but it still seems kinda unfair´to me

[resojoe]

Thanks for the kind words Lenny. We play for the fun of playing and make a little here and there from my harmonica store.

Anyway, I think we have more fun!

Glad you liked it. the warm weather is here so maybe we can get out and make some more videos.

Reso

[aLeMiX01]

Great!

[resojoe]

Glad you liked it, thanks!

[yipmicha]

great style but wasn't this dangerous?

[resojoe]

Hasn't been a train down those tracks in 30 years. glad you liked it!

[gaubgj01]

what key are they playing in?

[resojoe]

We are in key of E. Guitar playing in E standard tuning and I'm using a Hohner special 20 harmonica in key of A.

[harry9t]

can i get the tabs of this for the guitar i do the same thing with a friend but where just starting with it so wee need some cool tunes greetz form the netherlands

[resojoe]

sorry, no tabs for this as we made it up as we went. Thanks!
