(Level: Intermediate and Beginning Harmonica Lesson. This lesson for you "C" harp will show you how to play a super fast "Train-Time Chugging Pattern". There are two tricks to being able to play a rhythm pattern this fast. One, is to enjoy yourself as you practice so you will keep practicing over time. Two, is to RELAX your tongue and teach it to dance. Learn to use the wind of your breath to actually accelerate the speed of you tongue (kind of like a flag flapping in the wind). I hope this rhythm gives you as much pleasure as it has given me. GOOD LUCK!!! And please let me know if you someday get this rhythm smokin'...it would be a great joy for me to know that I've helped you in some way in your ability to shread!!!

  • Damn, couldnt catch up. Practice make you faster? I have asthma and Dr told me to pick up an instrument. Hope this works.

  • The comment in the "About this video" section was very helpful. "Learn to use the wind of your breath to actually accelerate the speed of you tongue (kind of like a flag flapping in the wind)." Every so often, someone tells you something that just clicks, and takes you another step down the road. I think this is one of those times. Thank you, and please keep posting!

  • to: Organjic. You might want to look in to a device called Expand-A-Lung Breathing Resistance Device, or play the bagpipes.

  • Sweet!

  • thank you so much for your videos! they are very practical!!!!

  • @MikePetroneHipHop Practice without the harmonica. It helps LOADS! =)) you'll get the speed after a few days probably and you'll nail it after a month or so =D

  • i have been practing for three days straight now and i dont think i've even come close to it. Is this something that will take a month or two or three to be precise at or am i doing something wrong?

  • awesome, love it!
