    You are such a great teacher Mr. Leckie.
    Practiced just the 2 hole draw for a month with help from your other videos. Got that down finally! Then i practiced doing single draws and blows for a short bit. Now this!
    Got about half of this down. Didn't realize till now I was holding in the wrong hand though, but a simple habit to fix.
    My dad left me some harps when he passed, and they are what I'm learning on. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge for free.

    Hello, first of all thank you for this great lesson! I'm practicing for a couple of weeks now and am still struggling with the draw bends, but that will be. I hope so. I have much more worries about the air: There are so many draw notes in a row! Where to go with all the air when there is no pause to exhale?

  • @Nathanael3D
    @Nathanael3D Před 6 lety +1

    This is by far the most beautiful turnaround I've heard so far, it sounds amazing! I'm practicing like crazy, in the shower, in bed, hell I could even start in the subway but people might give me money (to stop playing!) Thx for this amazing lesson. I'm having a hard time on the half tones though (bends?). Any lesson to improve on that?

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  Před 6 lety

    • @Nathanael3D
      @Nathanael3D Před 6 lety

      Mainly at 6:17, to create two different notes from the 3 draw (3-1/2 and 3-1). Any lesson for that? I'm an advance beginner and I can already do some bending on the 4 draw, although it's hard to really control it. Thx :)

    Hi great videos! I've got a question about lick 3 - I've realised that 3 blow is the same as 2 draw so on bar 1/ beat 3, I find it easier to do 3 blow rather than 2 draw. Is there a reason I shouldn't do that or doesn't it matter?

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi James, go for it :-) I usually say that you should always use the 2 draw in 2nd position playing especially over the I chord. It makes sense to use it over the IV chord though - I often do.

  • @andruhamurz
    @andruhamurz Před 5 lety

      +lars hak hi Lars, the key is starting very slowly and just making sure that you are splitting air time 50/50 between the two holes. Once this is consistent, you can gradually speed up :-)
