thats so righteous!!!!
Thanks 🙏
The tongue block. Sounds Dynamic. Add a lot to the performance. And another great tutorial.Thank you very much
Thank you!
Dzięki 👍
Może jakieś wskazówki jak z pozycjami do gry rocka, ballad, country. Wskazówki do ćwiczeń szybkości, sposobu na dobre solówki. Choć solówki to trzeba samemu wymyślić. Ale parę takich rad od fachowca.
These aresome important subjects and I will try to address them in the near future. Meanwhile check out this lesson on soloing czcams.com/video/pOdLfKvoD1Q/video.htmlsi=vmshXGWsGzyqrA2a and these technique excersizes - do them long enough with a metronome and your speed will begin to pick up, too czcams.com/video/IdJR_HhUxFs/video.htmlsi=eWxW6Dgud_nApQ70
Dla mnie w utworze "On the road again" harmonijka lepiej brzmiała w ustach Boba Hite'a ale ja się na tym nie znam
No question, Bob Hite was a great player too :) But I have always loved Alan Wilson's playing and have been very much influenced by him
You definitely put the time in
Thanks Mark :)
I dig a Hammer blues
Great Song Dov

Dov ,Greetings from Goa this song is mind blowing mate. I love it to the core. PLz Plz can you provide us with a backing track to this song ? Thanks Dov.
Thank you so much - I am very happy you like my song! I am an old-school guy, kind of technologically challenged, and I wouldn't know how to make a backing tack for this. I recorded it live in the studio and the sound engineer mixed and mastered it with the cocals and harmonica, I don't have the backing seperate....
@@hammerblues Thats Okay. But remember the song is fantastic. Job well done. Thanks Dov.
Dov, Plz also put your backing tracks to songs you sing n play the Harp. Thanks
Unfortunately, I am "technologically challenged" and am not really proficient at creating tracks. Most of the things I discuss on these tutorials can be practiced using a regular 12 bar blues backing track, of which there are many good ones you can find on youtube.....
i love the way you explain harmonica ! You are a gr8 TEACHER
Thank you very much - I am glad you find it helpful!
Awesome tutorial Dov!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Easy going blues
Awesome That's still put you something in the mail.
I often write songs on the fly, you are 100percent right,if you like you can use any of my music,all copyright free,i play because I love to see people smile😎👍
Thank you!
Excellent 👍😎
Btw,i rarely use backing tracks,love playing live with un familiar bands in public,no stage fright here 😎👍
Something i have learned,never over think it,just let it flow,it works for me,if you like, all of my music is free no copyright ever use and enjoy, keep rocking brother!!!
Damn, you are old school!!!!, keep rocking!!!!
Keep rocking, glad i found you 😎👍
Thanks for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Blues must be felt, not just played, i know, been there, you know.,. ...
I play blues,self taught,love it, subbed
Very cool
❤ Great Blues
Those trips to Chicago have paid off for you ,Dov.✌🏽
Nice set, ✌🏽✨️
the Focus of the diatonic harmonica is amazing for me , its about almost 3 years i listen to black flags , and two dialog between acoustic guitar and we all should remember tony rice . i know , its rare- but this magic still alive , we just dont need David Copperfield for this .
Thank you ! Yes absolutely, music is the most magical thing there is!
can play more then 15 soundtrucks , but can never bend like this . i use to play the miesterclassa by hohner and lots of marine band kinds , i have the favorite by zeydel just different sound. i do prefer small holes anyway anyhow. @@hammerblues
@@DolevF-xe5uf excellent! keep on playing!
Excellent tutorial , thanks Dov
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
@@hammerblues I'll stay tuned thank you
I really like how you used the 6 overblow as a transitional note (not a "showoff" note like some do). Real nice acoustic harp. And oh ya, great vocals too!
Thanks so much my friend!!
I really liked the perfect intonation on the 3 draw and that you avoided the major 3rd on the 7 draw. The high note chops were cool too. Oh ya, and excellent vocals!
Thanks Gino - that means a LOT to me coming from you!
It’s really helps to learn modes, that change ur understanding of how music works c=major,d=minor,e=minor,f=major,g=major, a=minor, b=diminished, in this case with a C harmonica. U can different keys same formula Ionian major Dorian minor Phrygian minor Lydian major Mixolydian major Aeolian minor Locrian diminished
Thanks!
This summer I will be 70 years old, in the past I used to play the piano, rhythm guitar, bass and drums but since about fifteen years I was no longer able to because of a nerve disease. But recently I started playing the harmonica and apart of being somewhat short breathed I love it ... I'm back in business and I can play along with my recordings from the past. So thank you for the tips and lessons. Every video clip I watch takes me back in time. What a wonderful feeling. Thank you so very much.
Thank you! I am eally glad you enjoy them! Stay well 🙏
Ja mam 75 też staram się grać ale mnie brakuje szybkości i pomysłów na improwizację, ale staram się. Ty też nie przestaj, graj
Thanks, Dov!
Modes or positons?
They are not exactly the same (you can plaay different modes in the same position ) but using different positions makes playing certain modes easier...
Thank you. It makes sense. Like in your video on 3rd position it is easier to play in Dorian. Is it what you mean?
yes, exactly. You can play other modes in 3rd position, but if you start at 4 draw and go up, you have the Dorian mode laid out without bends or overblows , so it's very convenient @@31416
Thank you. Harp on ! 🙏🎶
