    One more thing I forgot to mention in this video (very important): Make sure you MOVE when you play something like this... You can't groove while standing still! :-)

    I'm an old player who learned most of the tricks back in my youth in the late 60s playing along with bands like Canned Heat. I always played for pleasure. But tongue blocking is something I never learned about. So I'm having trouble getting it. But I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks.

    Gotta love Blind Owl! Hey Will have you tried the new Seydel Lighting? Would be cool to see you do a review on that instrument. Do you know if they plan to release low octave versions of it? It looks like a beautiful harp. Don't know how the "polished reeds" change the sound or longevity but it would be cool to hear your opinion. Thanks for the Canned Heat video. Love those guys.

  • @khloerg7692
    @khloerg7692 Před 4 lety

    Thanks Will 😊
    Do you have any more tips on the stamina?
    Is tongue blocking changing the way the jaw moves/shape compare to puckering?

    • @willharmonicawilde
      @willharmonicawilde  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Chloe. The jaw doesn't really need to move at all to create this shuffle rhythm with the tongue. Doing it the "cheat" pucker way will mean your jaw is moving up and down as you switch between chord and single note. If you are struggling with breath stamina check out this video: czcams.com/video/lQfLPn1TkzY/video.html

  • @seanyharp
    @seanyharp Před 4 lety

    Great vid Will...would it be fair to say that this riff and tongue blocking in general comes across way better when amplified, assuming you have T/B technique nailed?

    • @willharmonicawilde
      @willharmonicawilde  Před 4 lety

      Thanks mate. Yes, the percussive 'thud' becomes more prominent when amplified. Especially through something like a Fender Bassman, you will really feel the air move!

  • @Bootsharmonica
    @Bootsharmonica Před 4 lety

    Its 3 in the morning here but this was well worth getting up to watch! Will would you suggest any slight riff changes between the 2 and chord sequence just to keep things interesting? If so, what?

    • @willharmonicawilde
      @willharmonicawilde  Před 4 lety +4

      Awesome, glad it was worthwhile. To answer your question... Nope! :-) There are endless licks and variations that you COULD throw in to this, but I think maintaining and sitting on this one groove for the whole song is much more effective (in the case of this track at least). Apart from the solo, the harp is effectively part of the rhythm section in this song. It's a good discipline to be able to sit on a groove without budging (especially for 11 minutes!) most players can't do it.

    Question: Is the COMPLETE exercise played tongue blocked? Including the 3 draw (wich would be awesome hard but not impossible!)hs bend and the 4 blow?

    • @willharmonicawilde
      @willharmonicawilde  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I'm doing the whole thing tongue blocked here. You get a consistent tongue blocked toned this way and you can add the slaps to all the notes, but there's nothing wrong with just doing the slaps on the 2 draw and and switching to pucker for the other notes if you prefer.

    • @anpo6063
      @anpo6063 Před 4 měsíci

      @willharmonicawilde Thanks Will! I will practice it both ways... Easy to hard... Tongue slaps from the beginning, thats vital I think, pucker the bend and tongue block 4 blow to start with. Thanks for your tips on breathing because this will be a problem I think! btw I love your playing! I wrote it in a different comment already. Like a brick wall sound, passionate and soulful! Keep on!
