I am part of the global harmonica community. I guess being interested and involved in the harmonica community over many years has lead me to be elected as Vice-President of HarmonicaUK, and that's quite an honour - the President is Paul Jones from the Manfreds/The Blues Band
If you love harmonica lessons but don’t love me try Joe Filisko, David Barrett, Tomlin Leckie, Liam Ward, Adam Gussow, Ronnie Shellist and there are others!
When I heard Elwood Blues playing blues harp in the Blues Brothers film from the 80s, I couldn't get over the crazy sound of the harmonica. I watched the film over and over - even watched it last night! Had to get me a harmonica...
Seeing Paul Lamb playing the Station Tavern in London was the final straw - I started having lessons from him and became a Sonny Terry nut. From there Little Walter, Big Walter and gradually found out about all the greats.
Brendan Power introduced me to other players such as Charlie McCoy, JJ Milteau, Howard Levy and then I was hooked!
I started teaching professionally in 1995 while studying how to teach and began running workshops in London inherited from Brendan Power as he was joining Riverdance. The first lesson in school I taught in was Dulwich College in London and then in Bristol.
I've had the luck to study personally with Howard Levy (one week residential), Paul Lamb, Brendan Power, Joe Filisko, Richard Sleigh, Carlos del Junco, Sonny Terry (recorded lesson) and in workshops with Charlie McCoy, Lee Oskar, Steve Baker, Keith Dunn, Rick Estrin, Rick Epping, Adam Gussow amongst lots others - and thanks to all of them for the help which I now pass on to other students.
Performance wise, I have played in many blues bands, and different musical groups as well as performing solo and on cruise ships. I've played on the same bill as Larry Adler in 2000, jammed in concert with Jools Holland and had a long, hilarious and fascinating lunch with Billy Connolly showing him some harmonica techniques he wanted to know about.
Fine players of the harmonica include Big Walter, Little Walter, Sonny Terry, Sonnyboy Williamson Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Jason Ricci, Adam Gussow, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Robert Plant, Steve Tyler, Taj Mahal, Kim Wilson, Charlie Musselwhite, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Reed, Larry Adler, Dave Gage, Furry Lewis, John Popper, John Sebastian, Neil Young, Bruce Willis, Sugar Blue, William Clarke, Paul Delay, Tom Ball, Mark Hummel, Jerry Portnoy, JJ Milteaux, Rod Piazza, Gary Primich, Rob Paparozzi, Joel Osborne, Shakira Starr, Alanis Morisette, Bono, David Bowie, Darth Vader, John Mayall, John Gindick, Jonny Mars, John Lennon, Allman Brothers, JP Allen.

My grandpa carried back one to India when he escaped Burma in World War 2, played the harmonica like a champ without knowing it's locked in C major and always sounded happy. He played 3/4 waltz all the time, and converted many Cmajor 4/4 songs into 3/4 so he could play rhythm and melody at the same time, without any prior musical training
Great story!
@@harmonicamastery I ll love to get one of these , my dad had one, i still doubt he could play it . he said he could. it s my mission to learn.
Ich habe eine Tremolo von Hohner aufwendig restaurieren lassen. Preislich ein Desaster aber diese Harmonica spielte mein Opa, er hat diese von seinem Vater, sein Vater hat diese von einem damals feindlichen Soldaten bekommen als Dank für eine Hilfe.
Daher ist mir diese Harmonica auch so wichtig. Daher war es mir preislich auch egal, wo das liegen würde. So sind wir bei knapp 400€ gelandet und am 28.05.24 kommt diese zurück. Freue mich wie ein Kind. 😊😊😁
Ein Stück von seinem Opa und ein großes Stück Geschichte.
Spiele nur chromatic harmonica aber nun werde ich mir auch diese Tremolo schnappen.
Danke für dein klasse Video, werde weitere von deinem Kanal durchsuchen und angucken 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

I have been playing harmonicas for fifty two years! I play diatonic, tremolo,octave and chromatic. They all are fun to play with their different characteristics and sounds. Don't limit yourself play them all. Keep harping.
Longer than me! Wise words, thank you
@Roland Potter. Fine advice Roland but a beginner like me has to start at the bottom . I am a guitar player and am 2 months into an instruction book that just teaches single note songs with push pull technique . I am better than when I first started but have a long way to go and I only use a Hohner Special 20 key of C . After I have mastered a certain set of songs that is like taking building block steps , then I will experiment
I wish I'd discovered the tremolo harp years ago. It would have avoided all the frustration trying to get the missing notes on a blues harp, especially as I don't really want to play blues! 🙂
True, although from holes 4-10 there are no missing diatonic notes, and from 1-4 the only missing notes are F and A (on a C harp). They were removed in order to play chords at the bottom end whilst still playing the melody notes in the middle of the harmonica using tongue blocking
@@harmonicamastery I know, but I don't see how you would play a tune like this on a blues harp: czcams.com/video/qu6zP1lOii0/video.html
I'm not saying it can't be done, but I am saying that I certainly can't do it, but on the tremolo it's just a matter of learning it.
@@neilallen4044 Easy - just a matter of learning it. Same as tremolo, chromatic or any other instrument
@@harmonicamastery While getting all the high and low notes in all three octaves?
@@neilallen4044 I think it's playable without bending notes but I don't have time to test it fully right now, busy with students!
I originally got into harmonica when i lived in japan so i had a tremelo and didnt know the difference or that there was other types. I like to play folk music and Celtic stuff.
I'd say it's perfect for that
Korean orchid love learned from the charm of the harmonica sound
ok, very good
Man, just got my own tremolo harmonica (literally today) and had a lot of trouble figuring everything out (listen, music was hard before theyy started to teach music history, ok????). This video answered all of my questions, thanks!
Glad I could help!
I am a beginner and I bought a 24 hole harmonica because bollywood songs are better played on 24 hole or 12 hole. Since 12 hole harmonica are too costly for me so I went with tremolo. One problem which I am facing right now is that it is very difficult to find the correct hole while playing because the holes are narrow and without space. You also mentioned this problem. But I am quite sure that it could be overcome with practice and patience ✌️
indeed
I'm a tremolo player myself: I find that tongue blocking is a lot easier than puckering when playing single notes, and that with the phasing it lets you get a wider range of effects. One thing I like to do is play single notes (I usually either pucker or block out the top notes with my top lip), then play the with the "tremolo", and then play in octives in order to create a sense of tension in my playing: as it makes it sound more like a group, you can get a rather choral sound if you play an octive. It is possible to bend on a tremolo using tongue blocking, but it is very hard, and your are better to stick with a more western harmonicas for bends.
Sounds great, can we hear you playing?
@@harmonicamastery Here's a quick vid I just recorded czcams.com/video/QnDVsPA-jNk/video.html
@@superbaggybaggy5885 ok I get it. Do have any tunes recorded? It would be interesting to see you in action.
Two years ago, I bought my son that very harmonica. I borrowed it some time ago. He wants it back.
Yes. Get your own!
I find it hilarious that you mention Darth Vader, Neil Young and others as fine harmonica players in your bio LOL
And Bob Dylan of course. I'm glad you enjoyed that!
Just bought a nice Hohner Tremolo while on vacay in Branson, MO😁 After 15 months of playing Chromatic, it is very different but lots of fun😁
Have fun!
@@harmonicamastery Thank You for sending this reply!! You inspired me to pull out the Tremolo tonight. Managed to get a decent O Danny Boy/Irish Eyes medley going
@@ohioalphornmusicalsawman2474 Great stuff!
Hi! In Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Poland,etc.) 50 years ago this was the only harmonica available. Were Made in China and everybody love it. Every child had one was very chip. I never learned to play on it but I listened back then lot of nice excellent players, children and adults. Now at 61 I bought my first Blues C diatonic harp since I love the Blues so much. I try to learn the thing but as all things in life starting is difficult and much more for me since I never learned to read at least the basic scale (do,re,mi,etc). I´ll keep trying nevertheless, looks like a fun way to keep me busy. Feel such a stupid being so late😇
Never too late - start now! training.harmonicamastery.com/register-for-trainingguaj6wh2
As long as as theirs Breath!
Great lesson…. Bought one in Austria many years ago……
Great to hear!
Thanks very much for this video
ok thanks for watching
I have a solo tuned hohner echo celeste... I don't use it much but is a great instrument.
ok
Good music practice.Thanks.
Welcome!
Very instructive, I needed to know the difference between tremolo and diatonic, it sounds fun, I'll give it a go, thanks!
ok thanks
I just bought one.... it's interesting.....
Yes
So it’s like a 12 string except both notes are the same pitch instead of octaves.
Very cool
if the two strings were pitched 5 cents apart, yes.
I think string pairs 3,4,5,6 are octave apart. Only pairs 1 and 2 are same notes, i.e high E and B.
Love my tremolo harps!
What do you play on them Pat?
Very good performance
Thanks!
I have the harmonica too. And I also uploaded something with it. But I've only been playing since April 2020. But I had previous knowledge.
Good man
Sir You are Amazingly Incredible 😭
Thank you so much 😀
Can u please post more how to videos on this harmonica. I m looking to learn not a lot of videos out there showing how to play this instrument
No sorry, I don't teach tremolo
@@harmonicamastery can you point me in a direction where someone interested can learn? Such as a trusted source or class. Doesnt matter if its subscription based. If you got the time of course please and thank you sir
1:03 what is that song called?
oh susanna
Playing the single notes is easier than on a diatonic without bending
Yup.
Can I play blues with a 16 hole tremolo harmonica C?
I've seen Donald Black doing it - so yes you can although a diatonic is usually the best for blues
I have a tremolo and never played any harmonica so from where to start learning this one.
Look for a local teacher
i bought your course on Udemy and then i realised my harmonica is tremolo my mum wont buy me a new intrument can you give me some guide so i can learn it since evrywhere i search they dont teach tremolo for beginners
Can you find a local teacher
Actually Amazon is full of products from Easton. Also it’s easy for them to make “good” harmonicas when they copy the designs.
Easy? Have you visited a harmonica factory? It looks like an extremely complex process to me with a vast investment required. Here's a visit to the factory - see what you think - czcams.com/video/iky-BHP9Acw/video.html
The design can be similar but the quality of materials? Thats the biggest difference. In both sound AND longevity of any instrument.
I don't have any numbers on my tremolo harmonica and i don't know what to do (mine has 24 holes)
Each block of 4 holes can be considered as one hole. So the first square block of 4 holes will contain two notes - one blow and one draw. Think of that as 'hole 1'. The second square block of 4 holes is 'hole 2' and will also contain two notes. So yours has 12 notes breathing out and 12 breathing in. You can put the hole numbers on it yourself if you wish.
@@harmonicamastery thanks
@@harmonicamasteryShouldn't it be 12 notes in total, Ben? 6 blocks, 2 notes per block-one blow one draw. Or is it 4 notes per block?
@@SwingEzzZZ I believe a block of 4 holes has 2 blow notes tuned slightly apart (5 cents maybe) and 2 draw notes tuned slightly apart (5 cents maybe). I'm a diatonic man myself so this is just a demonstration really
