The Harmonica Barge was created by Music graduate, teacher and professional musician Ed Hopwood. Ed studied music performance at The University of West London with a speciality in music education.
He plays far too many instruments and needs to stop buying more!

I predominantly play blues, but for the last few months I’ve been studying the major pentatonic or folk scale. I love it because it goes with most forms of music, so now I can jam along with more styles such as pop and rock. It’s great fun :)
What is best harmonica for folk rock?

Ed, really enjoy your content, and demeanor. This video hit home. New harmonica player (at 64 y/o). Love the blues, but am learning simple folk tunes such as Birmingham Jail and Oh, Susannah. Will be trying your suggestions. New subscriber BTW. Thanks.

Lovely lessons! Blues vs Folk, great topic. How about Folk vs Trad. Irish?
Isn’t Irish trad folk music though?
Nice lick highlighted during your chat, can you say what the tabs are, I’d like to learn it.
thanks, I believe I talk about Cripple Creek in this one- check out the description as I normally link to other lessons too. cheers! Ed
hi man is there a difference between a folk and a blues harmonica what type does a folk muscian use for instance bluegrass
Different harmonicas can be used for all styles but some are more common than others.
For example, lots of folk players use paddy richter tuned harps but generally a regular richter tuned harp can be used for both folk and blues.
@@TheHarmonicaBarge thank you my man thank you so much
What a flok harmonica .wich make do I get please??
Hohner special 20 usually pretty reliable
If youre going to talking about "folk" talk about European folk. Blues is American folk.
Good point :)!
depends how you define folk.
Genre descriptions are clumsy at best and often originate from record labels wanting to sell music.
on that basis I think it’s fair to say many wouldn’t consider Chicago blues and chess records to be folk music.
Although they tried to market a lot of acoustic blues as ‘folk blues’ or ‘country blues’ .
It all depends on who you’re trying to sell the music too :)
Genres are weird that's why there's so many strange offshoots of hip-hop and rock, and metal. @@TheHarmonicaBarge
What's the tune you played in the beginning?

I found it.
Yea would say American folk is a derivative of old blues, mainly because forms like Chicago blues is a style, but blues was originally not very structured in those "bar" form. But yea acoustic blues and folk is not different in a major way like with something like classic irish and British folk music
