  • nicely done. :-) how long have you been playing? i'm also teaching myself.

  • about a month or so.

  • You are doing fine! You asked for critique. The reed on blow 7 is a bit flat. Also if you wish to play the melody exactly, you miss to notes, where you would have to overblow (5o and 6o). So there is your motivation for learning to bend and overblow - or try a chromatic.

    Keep on!

    Regards

  • trying to teach myself as well. pretty hard but fun and its the easiest instrument to carry with you lol. keep up the good work!

  • Not perfect , but nice sound ,well done you ! good luck from Scotland.

  • A chro will drive you nuts after using a 10-hole diatonic, but it's worth it, since you can play more keys with one harp. It's hard, but you're young and have time to keep practicing.

  • Not bad! learn to bend the notes that are missing or better yet, get yourself a chromatic.

  • I am 'now'... :] That beautiful Nordic face brought me to this video, but it was your playing that made me want to stay. Great job!

    Those "missing notes" (the ones that are just not there) always kept me from wanting to do more on the harmonica. Then I took up guitar and found out my fingers were the weak link... so I started singing; oh well... But you are really talented!

  • check out sonny terry, alfred lewis, and william mccoy - three best harmoncia players of all time. many great uploads of them on my channel. cheers

  • Theres someone out your window.

  • very impressive, especially for just starting out! I love the harmonica among other instruments, very underrated though. Good job for keeping the instrument alive!

  • would love to hear u now!very nice note's here for a beginner!should feel very good about it.no need to qworry about over blows for along time.many pros never use them the old greats never did.just play straight harp like ur doing then get the draw bends when ur ready to start playing cross harp then a little later get some blow bends.i use these alot.been playing 6 yrs and never use over blows.haV A FRIEND BEEN PLAYIN OVER 25 YRS AND DOES NOT USE THEM AND BELIEVE ME HE IS BAD ASS!
