- In this harmonica lesson, I address how to build a great blues solo. The basic concepts are using space, dynamics, and rhythmic creativity. Here are harmonica tabs in C for the 3 ideas for building the solo:
1.) 2- 3- 4+ 4- (oi)
2.) 4- 4-(h) 3- 2-
3.) 4-5- (trill back and forth) - Hudba
Your talent is not only in playing but certainly also in teaching.
Right
This guy is naturally charismatic and makes him a great teacher. Thanks for these vids man.
You are naturally cool. Please keep sharing the language of music... Men like you can share your creative gifts and make the world a better place :-)
Tony Weaver wow you sure are limited
Kenneth Lance Why would you even say some negative shit to somebody else showing love to somebody else?
Kenneth Lance ...k.l... YOU showed the world that YOU sure are a JACKASS
@@fljetgator1833 did he ever.
I've been working on the diatonic for years, but your two lessons on improvising are spot on and are the single most small collection of ideas and suggestions are entertaining, not difficult to understand and easy implement immediately. Thanks.
what makes this video one of the best is the emphasis of silence and simplicity. the Victor Wooten reference was great. I remember him saying "you speak more when you say less" in one of his videos. this lesson has helped me. thanks.
Great as always! glad to have you back!
I'm part way on my blues journey and find myself coming back to this video every once in a while. Absolutely fabulous - kind of an all-around lesson. Thanks my friend.
Nice. You're very welcome. Rock on!!
Great ideas for any instrument, thank you! I'll be checking out your other videos in the future!
It's so great young guys are keeping this art going..great lesson by the way
Good video and from the heart. "The restraint is where the power is ", I like that concept.
3 months of searching for how to play anything. Your simple question and answer is the first thing I can play that sounds like blues music! Thank You!!
Excellent description of music as conversation. This is so true and is such a useful analogy when it comes to the art of improvisation.
Your love for music is fun to watch! Great instructor too!
Genius...this is one of the best lessons Ive seen.
Thank you Luke, you make this whole thing fun and easy. Love how you explain everything , I’m new at this and think your the most . Thanks
Thanks for the great ideas! You have a good sense of humor and are a very effective communicator. Thanks for the lesson. You make playing the harp with purpose a fun thing to do.
Hi from Australia! Im stoked I've found your tutorials..I dig your charisma and clear explanations. Thankyou
Hey man,
Just wanted to say well done on a great instructional video. You've presented it really well kept it informative, kept it simple and to the point. I really appreciate the way you've highlighted all the key concepts of cross harp playing.
Have been looking for a good blues harmonica learning tool for quite a while and I believe you've provided a great one right here.
Thank you so much for your public service.
You are a great communicator. All your lessons have solid messages.
hey man i just wanna say i just recently started playin the harmonica (its somethin ive always wanted to learn) and honestly ur videos have helped me way more than any other videos ive seen, seriously!
Your teaching style brought me to tears, man. Fan for life!
+Joseph Carson sounds like you're on the true path then, my friend. May God bless and prosper you on the journey! Being an artist is a revolutionary act.
FunkyHarp Passion for the music to move you. Thank you for sharing the stategy on how to let music/ notes grow uncluttered and, come alive by using dynamics , rythym, and simplicity. I've so much to learn and am glad to have one like you to help. 'Can't wait til I can consistently jam well :)
Love this! I play guitar but can see this way of playing making me lean to the harmonica as a favorite....sweet! Thanks so much.
Really awesome man, thanks for sharing. Great explanations, great playing, and just a really friendly and approachable personality.
I've watched tons of videos, as I'm a newbie. And I can say this is one of the best lesson I've ever had.
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Simply great stuff, thanks Luke
I love the way you teach.
This is an UNBELIEVABLY Insightful, intelligent, and useful video lesson! Thank you so much, it has greatly helped me play better harmonica
Excellent advice...as well as commentary. Thanks for the great tips!
Best regards,
Ron
you are charming and a great teacher! thanks and God bless.
Very good instruction. This is exactly the type of information I feel I need to build the solo I want to be able to play.
You are a wonderful harmonica teacher, explaining really well how music should be played, making learning harmonica a fun thing to do. Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it. Rock on!
This is a great help, great explanations and pointers. I love it!
Right on Bro! Thanks for affirming and teaching so well!
Yes. I love your phrasing. I don't know much but, I always tell my grandson to play into the harmonica like he is singing the words in his head I didn't know it worked so well out side of melody.
thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for the people.. very cool
Thanks for this- I've been working through your 'Basic' lessons 1-20 for a number of weeks but had no idea of what to do with the skills (?) that I'm learning through you. This is just what I needed. Thank you, you're a great teacher!
Nice, Mark! Good for you! Keep up the great work!
I'm basically a harp learner. I've watched a lot of tutes and there are some true masters out there ...but this one takes the cake for me. You got right down to the very basics of it all and mentioned things I've not heard before. I love the call and answer thing...I was doing that on guitar decades ago and it's really effective, never crossed my mind to try it on the harp though...WTF not l have no idea 🤣
The space is another....l've been trying to jam every possible note into a solo and you're absolutely right....less is more....definitely less is more!! I even found myself laughing along with you...man that's what a teacher should do...have his students hanging on his every word!!! So thank you....and very well done indeed. I'm subscribed now...will come back to this tute again and again.... and will follow you more closely
Right on John! thank you so much for the heartfelt note. You're obviously very passionate about your playing and "on the path." Keep up the great work. All the best!
Best harmonica advices ever heard.
Your honesty humbles me. That crowd pleaser really bangs on. I'd say knowing how to 'thrill' one hole both sucking or blowing gets the people go crazy too mate!
Thanks for explaining things to where I can understand, thank you
You hit the spot! Thanks for your inspiration. VERY Helpful.
Love the videos! Thank you for the help.
Man, I never thought about learning music that way.
Thank you very much, sir. That just opened my mind.
Is ornge
What a nice fella...
THIS WAS SO GREAT!
Thank you so much!
U did that one JUST RIGHT Lucas!!! helped me understand HOW TO DO IT (Solo), thanks from a Bro in Orlando (FL), Josh
A great music lesson in general. Thankyou honest musician!
Thank you Luke from Vancouver Canada...Very very useful for an old man who refuses to quit !! Merci mon jeune !!
Christian Bernard My Harmonica Brother - Sweet! Glad it helped you. Never stop playing that harmonica!!!
I would like to thank you very much for this magical video. You give me back the wish to continue and I learn a LOT of things in this teaching video. You're a amazing !! Merci beaucoup de m'avoir redonné la motivation :)
I have been playing the harp over 35 yrs and ive never heard such an awesome teaching method and you seem to be natural and very good at it. Ive tried to teach but im not very good at it. I will take your advice. Thank You!
Right on Jim. Thank you!
Great lesson! Been waiting for something like this.
Thank you so much for posting, this is marvelous.
Luke th as nk you for this most valuable lesson on how to build a solo, once I learned to bend some , and tril, I have a ear for music notes, practicing the blues scale really help to prove my understanding of how to play,
underrated video. You my friend are a great teacher and an awesome commentator!
Just all I have been looking. Thanks man!
Wise and clear. Best lesson
Thanks for all the great advice. I've been playing guitar for 10 years now and am trying to get to the harmonica. You have some very pertinent reasoning/points about tacit learning, space and rhythm. I learn the same way, I gotta jam, try the same things and I progressively learn chords/riffs. Academic music is practical too tho, wish I knew more.
Dude ! I am utterly impressed with your teaching. I indeed see eye to eye on every aspect you talked about.
I had also started to play guitar solo by just listening. I understand what you are saying.
Hope i get better at harmonica too. I am a newbie right now :)
Great lesson! I have been missing your lessons!! :)
Loved it . Miss those style of videos from you
Love you videos very informative but simple for me as a beginner 👍
Hey, brother, That was the best lesson yet. From anyone !
I've been messing around with the harmonica for 3 months. Watched numerous videos about bending, couldn't get it down. Nobody ever said OU.... thank you!! That was almost effortless!!
Ha! Very cool!
Love the shout out to Victor Wooten - I'm a bass player for over 20 years and I just started learning how to play harmonica about a month ago. Still working on mechanics and fundamental consistency but I think it's never too early to start thinking about the deeper aspects of the craft. Loving this instrument! Thank you for all your guidance.
Right on! Thanks for sharing. God bless you on your harmonica journey!
Thank you. This video is exactly what I was looking for.
I love the way you teach !
Love your lesson Caleb
Very good, and wise, teachings here. I learnt a lot. Thank you.
Wow! That's just amazing lesson!!!
I love it so much I can't tell you!
Sweet! Glad you like!
Almost 2 yrs now and starting to impress myself and others thank you for you insight
You made it all so logical ... Two thumbs up from HCMC.
I found you by chance. What a lucky that was. Your teaching style is fabulous. Thank you so much ❤ regards, Dieter from Germany
Cracking stuff, fun, enthusiastic ta so much,I'll Try to follow,So many generous people offering us newbies hope!!
Yes, there is hope, believe me. It all came so painstakingly slowly for me!
Great tips to be better. So simple but powerful. Space speaks volumes.
YESSAH! s p a c e
Man, I`ve took 45 years to buy my first harmonica, and now I`m learning a lot from guys like you, who give these wonderful lessons online for free. We`ve got a lot of good players in Brazil whoo give very good tips and lessons, and from others countries too. But this lesson was really, really good. A solo with one note? Not even in the hell I would think anyone could do that. Thank you! ...and sorry my poor english. Keep up these videos!
+Gean Nascimento Greetings from Hawaii. Thanks! If you enjoyed that, you might enjoy looking up Victor Wooten's teachings. I'd love to come visit your country one day...
Absolutely top notch! Thanks!
Glad I've followed ya, I'm for sure a Newbie, and you're helping me understand....appreciate it
You are teaching me how to play this awesome instrument I'm having so much fun I just wanted to say Hello and thanks for your teachings they are so good! I'm a beginner and I learned how to bend already and it's awesome!!
I have seen hundreds of harmonica videos old masters etc. However, this guy blows me away -nothing compares to this not even close - simply rare blues at the heart of it and so simple
You made my day. Thanks Veli! 🙏🏼
@@FunkyHarp I ain´t foolin´or flatterin´either it is the truth from my perspective
Thanks Lucas, great channel I just got a harp and your the best channel I've found
Thanks for this vid. I played guitar/banjo/mandolin/fiddle for 50 years, then open heart surgery took that all alway so I picked up a harp. New world, and this was a great video to help make sense of it. Now if only I could make sense of what harp to buy!!!! LOLOL
Thanks for another great video!
Awesome teaching style. Thank you Sir
Very enlighgdning! Truly, thank you!
Great info for harpists at any stage of development. Thank you
After watching this, I was so inspired I immediately put on a jamtrack and started playing. And guess what - I was already 100% better than before. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this. I'm a beginner, just learned to play the most simple songs, but this will help me try to learn bending. Thanks again!
I'm 78 with a lifetime of singing which still continues, I gotta make this harp sing and guys like you are showing me the way, thank you so much, I taught my art and I see the teacher in you.
