  • I can bend hole 1, but no others. after weeks of trying, I can only bend hole one. Im using a Suzuki Harpmaster MR-200 in C, could it be a problem with the harmonica? do you perhaps need to spend a little over £20 for a decent one? or do I just need to keep trying? help appreciated.

  • @kpotassium If you can bend one, you can bend em all. The technique is sound, keep playing, and you'll constantly improve. I use a $2 plastic a lot, they all bend the same, just have fun and keep playing, and you'll do fine. NTJ

  • epic tip

  • HAHA! This guy is awesome.

    So much help!! Thanks man!

  • 1:15 hahahaha

  • Nice. It's interesting that some people -- maybe a lot of 'em -- need this advice, which is great. I've been playing harps for a little over 3 years and, for some reason, I just instinctively knew how to do it. And I'm no genius, believe me.

  • Ive been trying to bend notes for a few days now, one go of hoodle diddle and its sorted, wicked vid!!!!

  • Very goot!

  • I'm just starting out and wanted to learn to bend before anything else. Went through many explanations without getting it, but this really helped me understand what I need to practice in a matter of minutes. Many thanks sir!

  • Stopped this video at around 2:40 and then practised for a short while. Then bent my first note ever. EXTREMELY AWESOME video!!!

    Just after a few more minutes it starts to sound pretty cool. Noticed there's a kind of downward movement of a pout whilst saying "hoodle" that's creating the bend..

  • I use the U blocking with my tongue when i play.. i can't bend when i'm doing the regular tongueing technique PLEEASSE HELP!!

  • This guy is fucking cool
