[@mateogarcia3063]

Excellent lesson. Well put together, concise, but all advice was appreciated

[@SimonKoulTV]

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

That's really great to hear thanks! All the best from London ( I hear Copenhagen is a wonderful city!)

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

Just found your channel. I’ve been learning harmonica for about 6 weeks. I can bend pretty good now. I’m wanting to learn all the country and bluegrass licks I can.
Great stuff thank you so much!

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

you're most welcome :)

[@ManJackThe]

Awesome stuff! At some point I thought I was done learning harmonica from CZcams, but your video's are really inspiring me to get into it again.
Funny you mention Mickey Raphael, I just saw him for the first time today on an episode of Monk guest starring Willie Nelson.

When I have a phrase/lick memorized and then I try to change the rythym of it - syncopating or accenting different beats within the bar - I find sometimes that I struggle. Some of my initial memory work produces licks that sound too robotic, almost like a child's wind-up toy if I'm in the high octave. Then when I try to move beyond to something more interesting I lose my way, and I have to slow down again almost as if I'm starting over from scratch. Does that just mean I don't *really* have it memorized yet?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

playing around with rhythm and accents takes plenty of practice. Go nice and slow and make these changes slowly, you might take a whole week just to try one lick variation. Remember, good methodical rhythm practice will have wide reaching benefits through all of your playing :)

[@yossepy]

I'm having trouble sliding and getting the notes to sound right. Any tips to a very inexperienced person new to the harmonica

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Try some really simple melodies in first position, ‘oh when the saints’ etc and go really slowly. Move the harp and not your head. :)

And you may want to take a look at my Beginners Folk & Blues course- harmonica-barge-store.sellfy.store/p/folk-and-blues-course-level-1/

[@SmeshRoom]

What what’s the first tune you played I really liked it and would like to learn about it nice happy sort of on road type of vibe

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Hi there, I was improvising over a nice backing track that I use in my Bluegrass & Country Courses, but it was mostly just a melodic idea from my head :)

[@marylinethouvenin1397]

Bonjour,
La suite de cette jolie musique s'il-vous-plaît?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

ah I will have to translate! :)

@@TheHarmonicaBarge Thank you. Maryline

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

I wonder if it may be this you're asking about czcams.com/video/AVnK9BBPQU8/video.html

[@Oddestmoose19]

Could you share the backing track that you used? Thanks for this lesson Ed. I’m working on a recording of lessons you’ve taught to share with you soon!

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Hi Kevin, great !
Yes look down in the comments for the one in French :)
I shared it there

[@Oddestmoose19]

@@TheHarmonicaBarge perfect!!

[@AdioShu]

What is the key of this scale and harmonica position of each lick?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

All 2nd position, key of G Major

[@AdioShu]

@@TheHarmonicaBarge Thanks!

[@pietroa6375]

third lick, the last 4 draw should last two beats, but you only play one beat :-) Nevertheless, great lesson! Thanks

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Thank you! And Well spotted sir :)

[@sitessg]

This is a really good bluegrass warmup! I will be using this. How do I get to the new Beginner Bluegrass course you mention? I don’t see the link.

[@sitessg]

Never mind. Found it! Gonna give it a try.
