Basic Harmonica Lesson: "Bending"

C Harp

There are many bending resources available to beginning harp players, so this isn't the most original video. It's just my two cents on the subject.

I can bend successfully but my notes still don't sound like the notes of the blues player (like the guy on the video). they are "without soul"

they don't sound good. (it's a marine band so it's supposed to sound well)

@ohadbasan executing a bend and using a bend musically are two different things. Keep practicing and you will eventually learn to control and use your bends with soul.

I dont know why, but its hard to play a 1st hole note, the higher pitched 1st hole note. So its like this... 1st hole, air, 2nd hole, 2nd hole, 3rd hole, 3rd hole

@XxKeyboardistxX draw bends are lower pitched.

Well.. I guess I have to learn how to whistle now.. :(

[12gagedan]

@crazyghetto978818 not really. just change your air-flow, like "weeeeeeee, ooooooooooh,"
