  • MY GOD! You are such an effective teacher. I trying to practice chugging and I always lose my breath and even actually run out of breath when I try doing it fast. I guess a lot of practice will help improve my playing. But I'm just curious..... does harp playing requires the player to breath only through the harmonica especially when playing really fast? I mean, is there such a thing as a "cheat" in breathing? Thanks!!!

  • Yes, you exhale huge, opening mouth around side

    or over top of harp.

  • Lots of them!

  • 50th birthday today and I got a C Blues harp from a pal. Before 30 minutes ago "The Fire Engine Siren" was the only harp number in my repertoire. I know I've jumped the gun, but Mr Gindick, you have already got me making a musical sound that will impress my (easily impressed I admit) mates at our fortnightly jams. Now I'd best get down to the basics,,,, Thanks very much.

  • Thanks for this, Jon!

    Chugging was what got me into the harmonica in the first place. That was my 'holy crap I have to learn how to do that' moment.
