Wanted to get a Harmonica to play melodies while playing Guitar, got a C-Harmonica, Was disappointed i couldnt play all notes, Saw some women who made some crazy improvisation on it. Wanted to know why and how she could play so much more notes than i can and sounding beatiful like a saxophone... First tutorial was about how to bend in notes, overdrawing, even could get to overdraw to Dd(1), pretty fast, but its hard/crazy, didnt work for other notes. That tutorial only showed the black and blue notes you ve showed, and you pulled off that red notes,... pretty impressive. I gotta slight idea how much practise it is to be pull of those red notes. Chromatic Harmonicas are no option while playing guitar. But this overblowing and overdrawing seems like alot of work to me. Isnt there a third type of harmonica that enables you to play all notes without pushing that slet, like on a chromatic harmonica, or overblowing/drawing on a diatonic, but gives you a smaller amount of octaves or got 24 instead of 10 blowholes?

You sure that isn't Slippin'? 😉 Great stuff!

I always thought 432Hz is the perfect calibration for music. It doesn't sound sharp, it doesn't sound flat, just perfect.

It is interesting you mentioned reed whistling, I'm relieved it wasn't personal. I have it on my suzuki bluesmaster, too. I wondered why and the reedplate was curved. I have a whole set some are right and some do whistle.

Looking forward to learning from you sir.

What natural minor key?

Muy buen tema. Y gran toque de armónica

I liked the 432 the best,not sure why ,maybe a little warmer.

I just got one in A. It’s a very decent harp for its price range. All the bends work well and the 6 over blow is available if not as immediately clear as some higher end harps. It’s not airy at all on the lower bends. Yes, it is bright. Among the numerous harmonica reviewers, it’s nice to encounter one (you) who clearly plays very well. Many don’t.

It's an 'armonica,or a Harmonica.If the H is aspirated,a single vowel is correct.

Thank you !

Shocking ive never had a harp read bending to the top of the scale . I been missing out brother 😪 6:21

I think is a very well made hohner Rocket copy

It has phosphor bronze reeds which are welded onto the reed plate, not riveted.

Do they have those in 432 A4hz turning pitch ! ?? ?

Thanks , IT BENDS ALL THE WAY UP THE SCALE ? ⚖️ IVE NEVER had one that good 👍 eas-top

Super gaaf wat groot mooi guid 😊

Thank you . Will practice that .

Cheers !

Thank you 🙏

Love the Mac in the background!

Great job I’ve just started to learn the harmonic and I sound like a cats chorus Never mind

Jij zou een goed leraar zijn paul top 😊

Top paul jij legt het superleuk uit door jou heb ik veel gehoord 😊

Brilliant video

Thanks a lot !

Very nice review I have one in low Db Best harp I own So did you break its reeds?

Crispy OB’s 👏

What positions are you playing in? Really nice

This guy is an inspiration, Luv his approach to playing & teaching harmonica. Been playing for a long time, but you never stop learning! Thanks Paul.👌👏

I'm sorry I don't understand when I follow ur annotations it sounds nothing like old lang syne. The mystery is its easy to play except I start on three and then have not missing at the end... I don't understand. Help?

I like my Seydel Blues Soloist best .thanx paul good vid

Really good teaching here. Thanks!

Not surprised it took you a while to get it tuned. Those stainless steel reeds are much harder than the brass ones in other harps. Much easier with the brass ones.

lol it looks like a computer From 1982 in the background by the guitar case lol. Too funny!

Nicely done!

Paul I haven’t checked your website yet or anything but was wondering if you offer on line lessons? I’m current in Tomlin Leckie’s beginner course but after that I was just curious of other options availability. Tomlins course has been great but was just exploring other options.

Your Octaves are just gorgeous. They are giving me TROUBLE. I hit them sometimes but I still have to move my lips out further or flatten my tongue muscles more to the left or right... and I have been practicing quite a bit! Is there a trick to doing this? I'm putting the Harmonica way back in my mouth so that my top lip is over most of the upper cover of the Harmonica. This is what quite a few videos suggested... is there another way you might know?💡💥🎶🎙🤙🏽🤔

Thanks Paul! I always enjoy your videos and expertise about the harmonica. Getting good tone is harder then I had thought it would be when I first started a year ago.

Super helpful and to-the-point. Thanks so much!

thank you, yeah

quick question: If I want to play a song in Gm, can I experiment with turning the E into Eb and B into Bb on my C harp? Would that work?

Thank you

I'm part German myself, and love this song! I've been practicing on my chromatic for a while and now on the diatonic. Glad I came upon your video, thanks 🙏🎶

Great song and lesson, good for 3 draw bends and throwing in them octaves! And in 5th position, once again great lesson! Thanks 🙏🎶

Thanks sir Paul 🌻 From Denpasar

Thanx Paul your great ,always wondered about the technique ,thanx

That was brilliant,please keep doing what you do,teach . Like to learn by ear and it kicks butt when you get it.Thanks👍🏻

@Paul Gillings thanks for the video. I am in Norwich and I love visiting Lowestoft. Maybe one day I can see you performing....I am trying to learn playing harmonica.
