Half way through the video I realised that I said 3 draw whole step is an Ab when I meant 3 draw one and a half step is an Ab! 3 draw whole step is of course an A.

Hi Derek, In fact, no effects were used on the harmonica apart from a little plate echo, a little vibrato, and some sustained notes. But well done-a good presentation! Take care, Judd!
@@JuddLanderTV Hi Judd, well that just confirms what a good player you are, love your tone! Thanks for watching my effort to recreate some of your tremendous riffs, it means a lot to me. Take care! Derek.
ARE YONBERG harmonicas more difficult too bend notes because of there stainless steel reads { now titanium reeds }. ?
Hi, because steel is harder than bronze or phosphor bronze you do need to be a bit more forceful with your breath when bending notes. Don't let this put you off though as the difference is not that great and the benefit is that stainless steel reeds last longer.
3:50 cheers
1:12 thank you . But question : do you inhale or exhale for the overblow??
You exhale (blow) for an overblow.
@@boystone I had the impression you were inhaling. Thank you !
Not the Sony Pictures Studios intro😂💀
very good
@@Henry-lf1uo Thank you!
I've got a Nonslider diminished-tuned, "half" valved, starting on A. Draw-bends are very nice, easily 1/2 step, blow bends are a nice effect to "trail off" a note, a bit hard to get 1/2 step. I love it, it's a solid build, never had to service it (2+ years). I clean the mouth piece once a month maybe. I've probably cleaned the comb once or twice. I probably should clean the valves more often. My only issue with it seems to be that it's harder to avoid spilling air into adjacent holes with all the additional movement required.
I agree, you have to make quite a big movement to cleanly play the top row from the bottom and vice versa. Once you've got that it's much less likely to spill air.
Hello Derek,i really like your short beginner videos always learn something from them. Cheers from Australia
Thank you Wayne, much appreciated!
hello derek good to see you back man... love your lessons...<3
@@davidaames7470 Thank you!
❤
Thank you very muchhh!!!
Oii
Nice man
@@Nickfies thank you for watching!
Holes 6,7,8 are the same as holes 2,3,4. Hole 9 is another duplicate of hole 2 and hole 10 is the same notes flipped around. I’m trying to decide between this tuning and powerbender tuning
To be honest, I don't play my Will Wilde tuned harp that much preferring my richter and minor tuned harps.
Love this 💜🎵🙏🏽 thanks x
Thank you!
The only issue is your microphone setup…
@@ikust007 I used the microphone on the camera, what exactly is the issue?
@@boystone listen to it . Sound ain’t top. Worth buying a mic that plugs in the phone . With all respect .
@@ikust007 I'm not going for top notch sound as it's just a lesson video not a performance video but thanks for your comment.
@@boystone okedo!
Thank you
great
@@user-ti8sp1jq2x Thank you!
Bruce: A 4! Is there a 4 at the top? DING! Yeeeeeeeah! That was the best cheer Bruce has ever performed after it all came down to the last number of the price of the Treadmill and the Motorbike.
This is really useful thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🎵🎵
I really appreciate your comment, so pleased to help.
@@boystone you’re welcome & thanks again 🙏🏽🎶💜
Nice little exercise. 2 draw can be so expressive and fun.
Thanks
You are welcome, hope it helps!

Do you mean that you want a lesson on that song?
Thanks Derek. Nice lick to practice
Thank you for watching, hope it helps!
I have the first version of the Forerunner and it's excellent; I like it as much as I like my Chromatix! The reeds are advertised as phosphor-bronze - just like the Suzuki's and the other Easttop harmonicas. If you want something 'zany' - have a look at the 10 hole Easttop chromatic; the lower 8 holes are solo-tuned and the upper 6 holes are richter-tuned so you can have a great deal of fun. People ignore the 10 hole - because they don't realise how much fun it can be - especially for a diatonic player!
Yes, I totally agree with you about the forerunner. I have a £460 Seydel Symphony and get as much pleasure from my forerunner at almost a tenth of the price!
My Forerunner after three months has a bad note, flat. Now what?
Sorry to hear about that @lennyblue4u, I'm not affiliated with Easttop so don't know what I can do. Maybe you should drop them a line?
Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you for watching!
Great song. Unfortunately this doesn't fit the original key of the song, which is F.
Does it matter when it's just giving people something easy to play. Thanks for pointing that out though!
@@boystone It's great. I like to play stuff in the original key so I can play along with the recordings, that's all. I started teaching myself how to play 18 years ago at the age of 56, so obviously I love challenges. I'm sure you know that when you want to play a song you don't know it's easier to do it in a "simpler" key. Keep up the good work!
Bom! Muito bom!
As kids we’d play on Wentworth golf course, we saw Forsyth putting on the practice hole, we shouted out a few of his catchphrases and he went ballistic, shouted at us and swore at us, we were 12! Later he was well known at the club by the caddies as someone to avoid caddying for him as he paid the minimum amount for slogging around the west course for five hours at a time. As kids we’d run around the back of the caddy hut to avoid him. Not a nice person tbh
I simply dont hear the overblow when I do it. This concept is very confusing to me but thanks for the tip.
Hi Ed, concentrate on making the sounds first as this will put your mouth and tongue in the correct position for an over blow. It takes time but it will happen.
Fantastic! I first heard this song over 40 years ago, listening to my Dad’s record collection. It’s what first made me fall in love with harmonica. But I’ve never been able to play it. I went online and it’s on a lot of harmonica tab websites - all copied from a common source, by the looks of it - and I could straight away tell it was wrong because there weren’t enough notes being shown on each line and there were clearly holes indicated that would give a lower note than the last when it should be higher, and vice versa. It actually opens 5draw, 5blow, draw bend 3 twice, 4 blow, 4draw, 5 blow twice and a three draw bend! All over the place! Now I can learn it properly! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it makes what I try to do all the more worthwhile. Keep at it and you'll be playing it intuitively!
I got mine last week. It is everything you said. I even prefer it over my Horner CX 12 because the smaller size makes it more portable (fits alongside my computer in my computer backpack) and the ability to make bends is very nice. Thanks for the review.
As a second position blues player for many years now, I've always wanted to play this but it does my freaking head in doing first position playing. I'm so used to footling around with an A harp when the backing is in E but that's what diatonic harps are for. Thank you for this but man it's doing my head in to unlearn what has taken me so long to get right. What's the root note? D?
Hi, thanks for your comment. The root note is E on a C harmonica, which is 4th position if I'm correct.
As an American, Bruce Forsyth was Rock and Roll. He hosted HOT STREAK for ABC though there were stories that he was approached by someone from Mark Goodson Productions to do a new version of CARD SHARKS for CBS, he would've been great, given he did PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, the UK CARD SHARKS.
Cool thanks for the vid man
Thank you, you're welcome! Hope it's useful to you.
@@boystone yes very much
great lesson sir... good the see you back...<3
Thank you!
Cheers Derek I enjoyed your little lesson. and had fun playing the riff. I reckon the harp is a super instrumen, a great friend thats should always be in the pocket. Makes life a little easier when we can play a tune. Thankyou Derek.
Thank you so much lez, it gladdens my heart to hear comments like this!
Enjoy your short tutorials, they nice for us beginners to follow along. How do you find the new Golden melody harmonica to play? Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Australia
Hi Wayne, thank you for your kind comments. I'd been thinking of getting a GM for some time and it's a nice instrument to play. As the name suggests, probably better for playing melodies but still a good all round harp. My favourite Hohners are the special 20, Crossover and Rocket. I am a sucker for the design of the GM though!
Saved to my favs. It’s going to be a grind memorizing these scales. But fun at the same time. The really tricky part is pushing the button while driving!😮
Kidding!😂
You got me there!@@gliderrider
this is the last time the 1995 to 1999 theme was used.
Why does everyone have white walls in their home?
It makes me stand out more...
Looking REALLY CLOSE at this one. They say they can play in all keys. Just a bit different on how to go about it. I love their tremolo 16 diatonic!
🎉
key harmonica? position? ❤
Hi, C harmonica 4th position
Thank you .Its good even without lockdown.hope the rain has stopped.Happy New Year
Thank you.... I thought I may have done it on the 6 overblow in the past and then when I went to do it again... just didn't work, and then I thought I must of hit the 7 blow. But now I was able to do it and know that I had done before... Thank you so much, because I finally have achieved it and done it over and over!! Now, just to perfect it and use it in some music!! I appreciate this huge tip!! Thank you again!! 💞🙏
I'm so pleased it worked for you Mary! You're right, getting the over blow is the first step, the goal is to use it seamlessly and musically.
@@boystone Yeah, I am curious about some good tunes to practice that to? Would you have some suggestions? Thank you!! I appreciate your help! Very cool!! Blessings to you also!! 😄
