[Baxten123]

hey i was thinking about taking your lesson... but i dont know if its worth it, and i was wondering if its good for dead beginners, like just starting. i have a 10 bar chicago blues harmonica and i dont know if it requires a 12 bar.

[bottleofhatered]

seriously your my new idol.... ok maybe not but, you got some serious skill with a harp, can i ask where did you start as far as playing ive had a harp for a long while and i dont know how to play any real songs. so where do i start?

[RonnieShellist]

@bottleofhatered check out my website Harmonica123...package 1 is a good starting point.

[azdogshit09]

@bottleofhatered i bought a book with a free simple c based mouth organ and i learned a few ricks and techniques,

then i just searched on youtube and learned

[raul20095]

Amazing, i love the glass sound.

Can u send me the tabs plse?

[misterperfect69]

he went through 5 glasses before he found one that wouldnt shatter from the pure greatness :D

[cliff1979b]

This was one of the first Ronnie Shellist vids I ever saw. I started to try and learn this song after this too.

[wolfgerssj4]

always takes me a tear

[reefification]

This song always reminds me of IZ. R.I.P. big man.

Good job on the song, it was awesome.

[NickBFilms]

ronny wat kind of harmonica do you use the most?

[TheSdenne]

Interesting concept... a glass!

[soloymon4]

i wish i had bigger hands -.- i just can't hold the glass with harp. maybe i need a smaller glass

[RonnieShellist]

@soloymon4 yes a smaller glass is the answer

[TheMsstorms]

chuck norris has nothing on you :}

[adoraxion]

[missA65864]

[Cizza225]

[4835534]

awesome man........!!!!!! i was just trying to play this wonderful song with my owm armo, but now i know i'm just a principiant...!!! so exciting to hear that emotional version...!!! my poor congrats...!!!

[acatasus]

I THINK HE'S USING A 40'S VINTAGE ANCHOR HOCKING SNIFTER, BUT HE SWAPPED OUT THE ORIGINAL BASE FOR A CRYSTAL D'ARC CIRCA 1970

[mora2403]

Hi that was amazing. I have an A harmonica but I couldn't find the tabs for this song, so I wonder if you have them? (I repeat, for an A harmonica).

It's for my mother's birthday next 25, so I'll aprecciate the help =)

[maowafu01]

what kind of glass did u use??

hahahahaha

amazing!!

[gerzaa9]

can you post the sheet music? I'd really like to play this song for my Gramps. :)

[dzlk78]

Sorry all.....but, i didnt like the overplaying of dull scale practice.....!

[freedomrings93]

can you send me the hole numbers please, i play the harmonica. it would be awsome to play this song

[DeathPodJr]

Butchered a bit....

[quinoacat]

as I revisit this I recall what first hooked me on practicing along to your videos....you have style.

[he214ab]

bravo

[JakeGrng]

i like it (:

[13laciotat]

Exceptionnel. Bravo.

[Ufg198]

you are awesome Ronnie!!! Rock on man!!!

[alesquarepants]

cool

[badshafel]

fake

[CallMeE209]

Faking GREAT MAN! I'm trying to play it using 2 4 3 -3 -3 3 4

[TomJous]

is it a 16 whole?

mines a lot bigger, dunno what type im using

[BlueNightWeasel]

i think hes playing a 10 hole diatonic

[ElizabethGS]

TomJous: he's using a regular 10-hole C diatonic but holding it half into a cup to give an 'effect'. If yours is a lot bigger and you don't know what 'type' you're using..if it has a button to change the key, it's a chromatic and entirely different from this. There are chromatic tutorials/videos on Youtube

[FloorFourth]

This gives me eargasms.

[stevenfogerty]

lol

[tamtut5]

I almost cried during dat video. lolb

[donottawaguitar]

[dobmob22]

I really enjoyed that

[summern7]

my dog started howling along with you.

[BBTLGA]

one of my favorite songs, I love the way you played it! Very creative with the cup ;) sounded a bit like someone swallowed an echo.

[aldovipe]

con que pasion compartes tu musica

[Mike76]

nice man

[mindfreak123chris]

thats a disgrace!!..

JK!!

[bcantu88]

What key are you using?

[nirvanafrik]

Am or a C

[lagatadehonduras]

I think its a c sounds just like mine

[cheerleader132]

[backwardshoe]

[jusafaze]

[lizzysg1]

i have a question... do any girls play the harmonica?? ive just realised i can't find any girls playing it on youtube... am getting a bit worried that this is some sort of 'male-only' instrument that i've bought...:S

[shouldershift]

yea its 2 do with lung capacity.... OF CORSE ITS NOT! girls can play 2 theres nithing wrong with that. just dont wear lipstick :0

[lizzysg1]

lol, gdgd, right im gonna try this glass thing... just hope my hands are big enough!

[kokoro86]

You want inspiration for female blues-harp players? check out jamcamp06 's YouTube channel for videos featuring Annie Raines. There's 2 duets there where she tears the house down.

[lizzysg1]

aww thats so nice :)

[starrcenturion]

Very different. Good tune to play

[moseymama]

Harmonica is my facorite instrument. It can be eerie..beautiful,blueezy,jazze­y.anything,,your in control.Love it thank you for the video.

[Drewtazy]

Beautiful!!!!

[sezao1]

wow...wish i was that good

[DistantSoul13]

[skeche]

simply amazing.

[acebrawler73]

Very Nice.

[DerekJ3031]

Dude! Awesome!

[swoontube]

solo solo solo applausi

[harptrian]

Nice, what happened to your tempo?

The glass looks cool but I feel it muffles more than enhance, but what do I know...

[RonnieShellist]

it was intentional..just trying to put my own twist on it..

[masterKitano]

I droped a small tear when I heard it. thanks for reviving me lots of memories. by the way, I think I found a bit of the complete tab. I use a blues Harp in C,

I think it goes: (> means blow, < means draw <b means draw blend

some-where over the rain-bow way up high 1> 4> <3 3 <3b <3 4 1> <3b 3

I would like to know the exact tab u're playing.

anyway, congrats! you are THE MAN.

[paranhosfabiogmail]

very, very good! Congrats!

[audible67]

like the tongue splitting. nice.

[022852]

very cool! What Key harmonica. Cheers!

[nornornor333333]

great!! nice!!

[segapho]

this was sso cool

[TimiFIN]

you wave too much

[leomonkey92]

doesnt matter he can do what he likes and if you dont like it make your own version.

Cheers

[henningchristensen]

wonderfull! thats damn good! greetings from Norway!

[hithazel]

Great.

[darkwasthenight]

its not a race man, play it slower and try to think about WHICH notes to accent. sounds really good but really busy especially towards the end.

[harpo10]

Sounds like someones envious! I know i am.

[RonnieShellist]

just wanted to mention that i intentionally sped up the song at the end. i wanted to put my own twist on it. thanks.

[swamper60]

sound jus like judy garland!

[Shadolf]

So wonderful! Greets from Germany

[laceythepoon]

amazing bending i'm trying to learn to play with a glass youve clearly mastard it

[uzi4u182]

wow, good job there moyga. what else would it be there for.

you are amazing. i just dont know what to say, except that i wish i could play octaves and bend notes and just play like a god like you...lol. keep em comin!

[moyga]

wtf, is that a cup? does it add an effect or something

[JimEJones]

nah, its incase he is thirsty and wants have a drink

[TheFriendlyGod]

Way to ham it up.... heh, no, but that's reallly reallllly good. the way you bend and wah those notes, very strong playing. awesome video, most of the harmonica up on Youtube is either blues or beatboxing. I like melody harmonica best, mainly becvause I'm not good enough to play anything else, but it's great to hear melody from somebody who's got technique down!

[Acein8ter]

Nice Job, 5 stars...

[PrescribedBurning]

wow that was amazing. i just got a harmonica and started playing...i hope i can play something even close to that one day.

[highemp]

caralho velho você é foda,,,parabens dude...

[debijordan]

Dude, you're not in Kansas anymore,LOL.

Way cool job on a classic!

[dressagegal]

I think I figured out that I should go bury my harp in the back yard!lol

[EzBebop]

I think i figured out a basic tab to this song (no frills, just the main verse). * means bent, ** bent lower, 4+ means blow, 3*-3 means 3bent to 3 draw quickly Uses a C harp 2 6+ 3** 3+ 3** 3 4+ 2 5+ 4 3+ 4+ 3* 3+ 3** 3 4+ 3**-3 2+ 2** 2 3**-2 (this one is close, but not quite right) 4+ 7+ 7 6+ 6* 7 7+ 4+ 6* 6+ 4+ 5 5+ 4+ 4 5+ 5 4 3 4+ 4 5+ 4+ 6+ 5+ 6+ 5+ 6+ 5+ 6+ 5+ 6+ 5 6+ 5 6+ 5 6+ 5 6+ 5 6...6... enjoy -ezra

[EzBebop]

so, the first part is probably pretty wrong as i cant seem to get it right... if anyone wants to go ahead and write the correct version, I'd appreciate it.

[EzBebop]

[100100911]

that was cool, inspires me as a harmonica player

[washtubbass]

sweet bending, man you-da-mon!

[hohohorliques]

It's really nice!I play the harmonica in school too,but I have never heard of using a cup. Interesting!

[nmtkpm]

The way you played this made me cry deep down in my soul.You play with all of your being.I want your CD when it comes out.P.S I have only you in my favorites.Why didn't you try out for America's most Talented.You would have walked away with the prize.I love your music,Thank you.

[JFKToday]

5 *'s I like it

[mikenco]

a glass as a stand-in for a bullet! (and it won't piss the neighbours off!) Why didn't I think of that..

Excellent rendition!

[danpery]

Muito bommmm...Bem lokooo!!!

[thegrassisbluer09]

Thank you so much for this. It's inspided me to take up harmonica, which is proving to be another great way to express myself musically. I play bass, but used to play trumpet and trombone, and it's great to be able to get back the dimension of expression that wind instruments can provide. Thank you for this beautiful rendition, and for the inspiration.

[sli121]

hahaha nice dramatic lighting effects. who's your gaffer =P

[Clereece]

Have always loved that song ~ you pushing those 'monica waves thru a juice glass :P ?? wow-- creative; maybe put a little OJ in there for another sound variation hehe...

[demosthenes777]

Why doesn't the 2 drawl well?

[torgosassistant]

By far my favorite rendition of this song, well done ol' chap!

[LedxZeppelin007]

Wow...that sounds pretty cool. Nice job.

[deftpony18]

wow, you are a really good harmonica player, keep up the vids they are fun to watch!

[gibbiano]

[hairbear569]

You are the best!

[UGotTheFunk]

WOW u just took one of the most boring songs ever and just brought it to life. ...just wow man ..just wow

[desertshore]

wow, never thought i'd hear this on a harp, cool.. ooh, and Professor: get off the rock.

[Professsor]

I wasnt talking about the guy in the video. and what do u mean by "Get off the Rock" ?

[desertshore]

TRANSLATION: "Can it."

[Tihon94]

dude you are awsume i cant stop watching your vids!!!!

[Professsor]

Sorry mate.... you need to get a life!

[gijsjeradijsje]

Says someone who's waching youtube videos just to taunt others

[Professsor]

Is it me or does this guy seem like hes done time? or that hes perfect for prision?

[Sedge77]

Yes, prison---that's where everyone goes to learn to play harmonica!

[bluzlady]

Nice stuff, Shellist. Thanks for sharing.
