When I started many years ago I liked the Echo harps they sound good without much skills 😊later I got Jerry Portnoy’s harmonica course learned a lot about bending notes and other things. I can now play a Marine Band harp and make it sound like an Echo harp like this guys doing plus using your tongue you can beat out the rhythm and using the sides oh your mouth you can actually play parts of the tune while beating out the rhythm and playing several other holes like a cord it’s good if you don’t have all of these backing tracks to play along with another thing I found out lately is the Celtic Women there songs are all in the key of C an octave above middle C they don’t detune any of there songs so you can play along with all of there music with a C harp I get Apple Music free with my phone plain so I downloaded a bunch of there albums to play along with its so hard to find things that you can actually play along with. Irish music is another thing if you play a tin whistle most of the Irish music is in the key of D so if you have a harmonica in D or a tin whistle you can play along with most Irish music. The old Horner Echo harps use to come with the key C & G or A & D I still one of the old ones with all 4 keys I haven’t seen them around for years they were big about 4” wide and around 2 feet long but it still sounds good 👍🏻 ❤❤❤
Holy cow, I need to apologize for having no expectations when I first click the thumbnail, until you draw the first note! I enjoyed that immensely to the end and would probably come to watch your video over and over again from time to time. Great notes there Mister, thank you for playing 😀😀😀😀
So nice! I've always wanted to be able to pour my soul like that with the harmonica. Maybe I'll get there someday. Keep up the good work, it sounds great!
Man you are sooo good! I just have started learning harp...been practicing for about 10 weeks now! I hope it all clicks like u someday..I'm 54 yrs old and a drummer but wanted to learn something new! Your awesome!
Very happy to have found your channel here, Rex! Congrats! Just started on the harmonica and watching people like you is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing and I will be following your channel so looking forward to hearing you play
@@rexragland827 no problem. I’m a work in progress learning to play myself and have played along with this tune a few times with my A Harp but have not worked on the melody as much as I should. I’ve been trying to figure out the guitar solo. I like your unique approach to the melody.
Greetings, Rex, from a damp and dismal North Yorkshire - but now much cheered up by yet another great Ragland rendering! Managed to play along most of the way on a Lee Oskar in A major. 😁
@rexragland827 I watched allot of your videos after this one late last night. You are a professional looks like. The equipment your using is really great. I saved allot of your videos in my different play lists. I think solo with just the Harmonica using your latest equipment without background music would be really great. Could I make a request? My Dad recently passed. His favorite Hymn we'd sing together was "Til The Storm Passes By". Could you please play that piece Solo? Also could you send me the tabs to it, so I could learn to play it. I'm going to get a Crossover Marine Band to learn to play it.
@@meer3731 thank you again, for your kind comment and view. i really prefer to play with background music, but, in your case, i will give my best attempt to honor your request, however, i do not use tabs because i play strictly by ear. Warmest regards.
Great way you plated the song. Just Need to know what key harp you are playing.I love the way u did when a man loves a woman ,but need to know what key on the harmonica you used,thanks
V/Good, perhaps for YT play direct not following tabs on pc. Your good enough without needing to show that - top job. Many out there will be aiming to be anywhere near as good
Thank you so much!! The way i learned was listening to charlie mccoy records and trying to reproduce what i was hearing. There are a lot of good tutorials on youtube. Check out liam ward. It requires persistence and practice. Best wishes in your harmonica journey
thank you so much for watching. I just play by ear so i cannot do a how to video. I just sing the song in my head and play the corresponding notes. Warmest regards.
@rexragland827 if that's striaght from the dome man you are crazy talented. Do you possibly think you can sit back and try to do a draw/blow video with each note you do. Might be super beneficial video because there is no specific how to videos just people playing along with tune.
Started three years Playing the harmonica: mainly C and A. Awesome instrument. That is a great way of intepreting this Song 😁👍

@@rexragland827 Best regards to you too.
Great channel just want to know if you're reading music or tabs. Do you have the tabs for any of your songs? Thanks John D from Long Island, NY
I have the same question ❤ to show the tabs in your videos or in the description would be great!
Wow! You play really well! Sounds like a Professional Record. I'm just getting into playing a harmonica because my grandfather played one.
thank you so much for your kind words. i appreciate your view. Warmest regards.

dziękuję bardzo za komentarz i opinię
Great way you plated the song. Just Need to know what key harp you are playing.I love the way u did when a man loves a woman ,but need to know what key on the harmonica you used,thanks
thank you so much. for this song i used a Dannecker Optimus diatonic harmonica in the Key of D Major. Warmest regards.
V/Good, perhaps for YT play direct not following tabs on pc. Your good enough without needing to show that - top job. Many out there will be aiming to be anywhere near as good
Wow!! That is one of the the nicest compliments that anyone could ever receive. Thank you so much!! Warmest regards.
What tone is this harmonica?
Key of D Major (2nd position).
This is FANTASTIC. My uncle gave me a harmonica and this is making me want to really pick it up. Any tips on good resources for learning harmonica?
Thank you so much!! The way i learned was listening to charlie mccoy records and trying to reproduce what i was hearing. There are a lot of good tutorials on youtube. Check out liam ward. It requires persistence and practice. Best wishes in your harmonica journey

Can youndo a how to video
thank you so much for watching. I just play by ear so i cannot do a how to video. I just sing the song in my head and play the corresponding notes. Warmest regards.
@rexragland827 if that's striaght from the dome man you are crazy talented. Do you possibly think you can sit back and try to do a draw/blow video with each note you do. Might be super beneficial video because there is no specific how to videos just people playing along with tune.
@@ziggie_migzgaming5786 i wish i could, thank you and best wishes.
Terrible video (Into at least X-), but really great harp you got going on. God bless brother.
thank you so much for your constructive critique. I appreaciate your view. May God Bless You as well.
