what would be a good harmonica for a newbie to learn the blues?tyjerry

[pazzmanmusic]

@crackmanification check out the harp group... more detailed info in there

[sheenalamb]

@crackmanification just to let you know pazz. u wanna resolve on the 2 draw never the 3blow very seldom will you use 3blow. might use it for breathing tech. thx for the up load doing great

[pazzmanmusic]

@sheenalamb true... 2 draw is a much better/versatile note... I only started learning that from feedback after I started doing these videos... It is crazy how much I have to learn, and how far I've come from just interest, but not really studying technique/harmonica music theory, until the last 2 years...

hey i have a harmonica made by hohner. its really big and it say on the other side Echo Bell Metal Reeds. it has two side with two different sounds. could you post a video about how to use one of those or send me some help about what i have and how to use it. its old and i found it in the back of a closet at my grandfathers house and sounds really good. thanks for any help get back to me if you can.

[pazzmanmusic]

@evan251990 hey man... i dont know too much on that harp without seeing or playing it before... But it likely has 2 notes tuned an octave apart and perhaps doesnt have the same scale structure as the basic 10 hole diatonic harmonica that i use/teach on... Best bet (sight unseen) is to find music that is in the same key, and play some root notes in 1st position (see tutorial if that makes no sense)..  sorry i couldnt be more help...

draw = inhale

blow = exhale

harp = harmonica

pazzman = the dude

"Twothreefourdrawdrawdrawdrawb­lowdrawdraw. Just play it!" -.- Wouldn't it be better to make the tabs show on the screen?

[DAFUNK213]

I got very excited when I saw this video only to be disgusted by the fact that my harp is in c...I just learned to play the song on guitar and was hoping to impress by blowing my lungs out.Well I have to buy an A major harp now.Thanks for the upload

[alvaroelbarbaro]

hi pazzman!! men i got a question PLEASE help me. i have a E blues harp. it works for this song???? Thanks!! peace.

[HeavyD2544]

I'm not trying to be a critical dick or a troll, but what your playing sounds a little off from the actual song. People wouldn't notice the difference live with other instruments playing unless they are a hardcore harmonica fiend. If you play by hearing like me, I understand. I have the same problem sometimes, but the tabs are off from what's in the actual song if you go by what you're playing. I don't usually use tabs, but I think that sums up some people's confusion. I could be wrong.

[torresj90650]

Bro put some tabs up please

[peirox]

what tone is exactly?

[zickzack55]

..please help me....i just bought a harmonica but....its weird...the holes,the function..and all about it....man..its better if i bought a harp....

[REALITYCHURCH]

DUDE YOUR ORIGINAL MUSIC ROCKS CRAZY!

These lessons have proved invaluable to me. Thanks you loads Pazzman! :)

@crackmanification

Hohner, Key of C, Marine Band or Blues Harp. Either will do and set you back around 3 hours pay wherever you are.
