- Hello!
New CZcams video: Harmonica play along with Filip Jers!
In this video I am playing the beautiful song "Summertime". First I play it Am then in Dm. I play it on both the chromatic and diatonic harmonica in both keys. You will need a C chromatic or C diatonic to play along.
If you want to focus and practice on specific melody lines you can just pause the video and practice that specific section.
If you feel that the tempo is too fast, be sure to use CZcamss great speed function button in the lower right corner of the media player. It looks like a wheel and you can lower the tempo.
Do you want to study harmonica with me?
Right now there is a 7 days FREE TRIAL on my Patreon page, warmly welcome!
I have exclusive video lessons, sheet music, tablature and mp3s.

Very beautiful !!! Cotton high & fish jumping 🌞
Thanks! 🎵😀🎵
I used to play in Dm, but hearing you playing in Am, I think it's better choice. Thanks
Thank you for sharing the notes with us.
I prefer the chromatic version in the key of Am.
For me it's easyer to play the 4 blow instead of -4°
Nice in the two most played keys for this great song, really nice simple unadorned melody lesson. Thank you Filip.
Filip this is great fun, getting the sheet music and be able to play along with you…this and the Fly Me to the Moon are just great lessons. Thanks taking the time to produce such great videos. Dana via Maine USA
Sounds great! Happy that you like the videos! Be sure to lower the tempo if it is too fast. Best, Filip
Hey Filip, please do more of these!!! They have helped so much with my progress.
Yes will do!
Thank you so much, Filip! Your lessons with the music scores and tabs are especially great ways to help us learn.
Glad you like them! Yes I thought that adding the score with the rhythms could be beneficial in a pedagogic way to learn how to read.
Excellent instruction, Filip. Your viewers benefit greatly from the play along format. I wish I had the confidence in my bending to try this on diatonic. As a lad, years ago, I learned this by ear, in what I now know as Dm, but I haven't played it in years. I particularly enjoyed the Am version on diatonic. I must get back to my bending practice.
Thanks Joe, happy to hear! I think you can get back to bending on the diatonic pretty quickly if you have done it before. Summertime is a great start!
Hei i am New to harmonica... Practising since 2 weeks now in the evenings... Love this one a lot, it's fun to practis like this with "you". thanks so much for the videos. The bending is still a bit Hard for me too incorpórate smoothly and in tune.. but i guess it's practis like everything 🙌
Thanks for your kind words! And thanks for watching
Your intonation is incredible
Thanks!
Great thank you.
Great sound!
From Japan.
Thanks!!
Замечательно. Спасибо.👍
Thank you Filip.
Ich danke dir vielmals für die Tabs für dieses coole Lied.
Dank dir ist es uns möglich, dass wir dieses tolle Lied spielen dürfen.
Ich bin auch ein absoluter Suzuki Fan, spiele auch gern mal auf meiner Seydel und auch wohl Hohner, jedoch kommt nichts an Suzuki ran.
Ich freue mich immer neue Videos von dir zu sehen.
Bist echt ein richtig großer Harmonica Spieler.
Autogramme, hast du welche? Dürfen auch gerne per Mail sein.
Viele Grüße und vielen Dank für deine tolle Musik und tollen Videos.
Lieben Gruß
Manuel
Thanks for your kind words!
I only have a comment ❤❤❤❤❤❤ It´s sounds fantasic.
Thanks!!
This does not need the 3 blow bend if using a paddy Richter tuned harmonica. Sounds great on that tuning. But this is a great practice tune on standard richter for that hard 3 blow bend.
true!
nice! thanks!
Two variants, both fantastic! It was the same melody without voice for both varients? When I can download the same track without harmony, I want to try to play by myself
I swear that cheese plant behind moved forward when you played with chromatic and retracted when you played with the diatonic. LOL
Haha!! :-)
Filip, are you using the slide when playing this tune on Chromatic Harmonica? If not… what is the point of the slide when playing simple tunes..? Thanks Andrew
Thanks, Filip! Inspiring, as usual. Now I have a question that just popped into my head: Is it possible to play "Rhapsody in Blue" on a diatonic? As far as I can tell, there is no such video on CZcams.
Thanks Dov! Good question - I will think about... :-)
@@FilipJersMusic My pleasure! And again, thank you!
👍🇧🇷Obrigado
Thanks!
Are those outros on the ends tabbed? Or is that just you being tasteful?
Just being tasteful and improvising 🎵😁🎵
Бенды лажово звучат, если в импровизации это характерные блюзовые ноты и они очень к месту, то в мелодии темы они не очень.
tried to write to you today with the email address on the website but would not work? dana from Maine USA
