When I was 13yrs I got my first harmonica. I really wanted to imitate a train sound. I slowly sped up this rhythm with a metronome getting a little faster every day. I now look back on this rhythm and how it shaped my style and ability to play harmonica the way I play today. This lesson covers a lot of great exercises to practice. Take your time and enjoy the train ride.

Thank you dear Legendary Juzzie Smith ❤❤❤ You are number one musician for a lot of people ❤
Now I know It's ok to breathe through the nose while playing to adjust, thank you!
You are the man, seriously I've listened to you for two days and soaking up your knowledge and I already feel like improved
So great to hear 😊
Thanks mate i play the train to try and impress the ladies and now i can take it to a hole new level Thanks you legend 👍
Again, I have been playing music for a lot of years. I have gotten burnt out on Music even though I still play it. After watching your videos. I see your joy in it. I have woken up and I am looking forward to teaching again. Thank you.
I also got burnt out. Just do what you love 😊
Thank you so much. I did try your train, the first time I heard it, it was the first time I did play
Thanks Juzzie. You are a wonderful teacher
Thanks
I would like to hear you play Orange Blossom Special,you are the best teacher I have ever heard
Jesus!! you are the best,thank you 😊
Thanks
This is absolutely awesome. The only thing I regret is that I bought my blues harp only 3 weeks ago. I am 65 years old. I should have found you and your lessons 20 years earlier. ;-)
That’s great. Have fun
I agree. Getting started 20 years...maybe 30 years late, but I'm still going to play, learn and have FUN!
there's hope im 42 and was thinking i maybe to old to learn, but I guess as juzzie says have fun its what its about 👍👍👍👍
I am 60. I bought my 1st harp at 14 but didn't play it much . I now wish I had put more effort into it . I have been playing for a year now and starting to put things together. It's gratifying to play a little music . Stick with it .
40 in October, bought mine on Tuesday. Here's to enjoying the journey 🍻
Geht ab! The lokomotive can't stop.👍🎶😁💥
Genio!!! Amigo!!!!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇨
Thanks for sharing those cool tricks. Greetings to down under!
You are such an inspiring player I love to learn from you, it's a pleasure, thank you
Thanks
You are such a talented man. So glad I came across your videos.
I am now your number fan. Bring it on sir 🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really enjoy your videos. Informative, relaxing and fun. Thank you You have no idea how important it is to hear you say “I’m a slow learner”
Thanks. Slow learners are often the ones who work harder and end up playing really well 😊
I have played music for years. And I really like the way you teach timing.
Thanks
Dr. Cox! Thank you, this video got me really excited to practice.
I clicked this video just to see if anyone else thought the same thing! 😅
Awesome, love your lessons Juzzie... always good fun.
Thanks
You’ve a wonderful way to explain. I’ve always liked guitar and have never been so interested in harmonica, but you have changed my mind about this. Isn’t it strange how a person can influence you when you do it in the right way. It’s about how your soul can accept to learn and make you happy to find the key to open up your mind. Swedish greetings from Thailand.
Very good turorial. Thank you so much Juzzie.
Dude you and Jason are keeping my very busy. Thank you for the new video. Oh and I can whistle and bend my whistle backwards. 😉
You are my harmonica teacher. I knew from your knowledge your experience and some harmonica sound techniques. I respect you with my soul and my heart. You are very nice.brother🙏
Thankyou 😊
I hardly ever subscribe part way through a single video, usually I gotta watch a few from a creator before I decide if I like them, but you have such a chill and friendly vibe I had to subscribe! We need more of your attitude in society
There's just something about Aussies isn't there 😂. I'm listening to "he who fights monsters" on Audible, Australian protagonist and narrator and it's a fantastic series.
Even if I still not have tried the harmonica I can’t stop listening to you. I’m like that I must be inspired to start up. I need time to take decision and the same with the guitar. You make it so exciting so one day I will fix a harmonica.
Awsome… YOU Are really special.. Mery Christmas Juzzie
Thanks 😊
I just really love this guy listening to him talk is almost as cool as listening to him play cuz he's so calm and his demeanor is awesome I wish I could meet this guy yeah love it learning from him is awesome
Thanks mate 😊
OMG your videos are so great, i bought an harmonica a few weeks ago after your first "course" and i'm enjoying it day after day, i'll learn this one. Thanks a lot from France
That’s great. Have fun
Thank you for your love 🙏🏻❤️

Always comming back to this! Always see whole video! Its so great explain! I jam in my car every time i go to work! Small steps every time i go. Lissen to mp3 i buy from your webshop. Sometimes i just playing for fun and its not always sounds good, but it feels good to training on how hard/soft i blow, and like you say, its fantactic how just 3-4 holes whitout moving lips, just use same holes, can sound so different! I got 10 harmonica in just one hole! Its mindblowing and something i dont even coud dream of before i begin to try out different versions of tongue and trouth movement mixed with hard/soft blow and speed. Its fun to go to work haha! Munspel (swed) is in my heart for all time now and its because of you! You isperied me so mutch and i always loved harmonica, but expect its to hard for me to learn so i never try for real. Try little when i was 12 and never more after that. It took 35 years of my life, till i find you to inspere me to try again! And now 2 Harmonica in my pocket! I will wait till my 50 years birthday, then i plan to blow all away on my train playing, no one, not even my wife know i training mouthplay, i hope all blow of they chair and say: WOW i had no idea you coud play harmonica 😄
Long text, but its my way to say: Juzzie, Thanks for sharing and learn out harmonica playing to us all!
You are a truly inspiration to very meny people! Wish you all good to you and your family! P.D from Sweden
Thanks Peter. This is a beautiful story. Keep having fun 😊
Hi Juzzie, just love your style you are a terrific player. As a total beginner I could keep up better with numbered tabs would be very helpful...
Hey Juzzi. Just wanted to let you know I love your stuff. Just so excellent. Im starting getting into one-man-band stuff just now and adding a harmonica. your videos are a great source of inspiration. My biggest problem is getting super dizzy after a few bars of rhythm and i suspect it might be air control maybe ? Do you have any vids courses on how to deal with that ? You are a true legend man ! Hope you and your family are gonna have an excellent 2024.
I got the "woo woo" part down lol
time train go go go...n1!!!!!
Bagus pelajaran anda juzzi..sy pemula n suka mengikutinya ..salam dari yogyakarta..indonesia
Thanks Jemmy 😊

I love the train rhythm, thank you for the cool tips to, also like
the (whooping) do you offer zoom lessons?
Thanks. I’m not doing zoom atm.
Juzzie I’ve been loving your music. Very inspiring. I’d like to ask you what that shake device is your foot steps on. It sounds fantastic. I’d love to get one. Where could I purchase one? Thank mate.
Thanks mate. I made this out of ball bearings and plastic case. I wish there was one made already 👍
Bro I really was lost until I found you. I Have more confidence and control and really puker my lips like kissing my harmonica. So now I'm making out with it 😂😂.but seriously thank you. I Can't believe I got the first riff in now time it's a mix of learning for me to control my breathing. No lie I got so lightheaded cause I didn't know. But man your so fast. 😊.Sounds awesome.Thanks for being a great teacher ❤❤❤❤
Your the best mate .Tell me how the payed lessons work are they videos or just sound advise . You give so much for free , so nice and you make it easy to understand for the layman can you do a CZcams on how we would benefit buying the course since you give such insight on CZcams. I know you don’t like to promote your self on you tube but it wasn’t clear to me anyway
Hi Bob. Thanks for wanting to support me. The lessons are audio which help you get a stronger ear for hearing. Here is the link to the course. Have fun

Sorry my english is bad. From Granada Spain
Love your playing mate. I’ve been working on the shuffle chugging and, like you said, start out slow. I started out at 60 bpm and I just got up to 200 bpm. Still it doesn’t sound like yours. I’m curious. When you are chugging nice and fast, like in the video, how many bpm is that? I’m just wondering if I’m getting close or just missing something. Thanks.
I recommend to just stay relaxed to get best tone. Try this by playing quietly. Have fun 😊
👍👏🎶
Would you play the race between a freight train and a A model ford,it is played by Wayne Rainey and Lonnie Glossing.
Do you know where I can listen to it?
It was recorded by Lonny Glossing and Wayne Rainey
Hello mate, what a video. I picked up a harmonica 3 days ago and thanks to you im already feeling like im confident in certain areas. Just a couple of questions mate please. I have a Hohner Pioneer C 10 hole harmonica and im really struggling with my 2 draw, as i noticed you mention in a previous video. Is it always ok to use 3 blow instead for 2 draw? i think it may be the harmonica aswell sounding really flat as its only a cheap one (£13)- I have just ordered a hohner marine band for £30 will this make a bit of difference? Im getting every other single note fine just not this. And second question- I have just been learning by watching videos on youtube of the basics really, how to hold, how to play single notes, then how to play certain songs with single notes. But i am just curious, i watched your video (number 1 harmonica groove that will blow youre friends away) and it was great it helped me loads, but i was just wonering on what you think the best approach is to learn? like i feel like i would really benefit with some advice on what you think is the best process, as im just unsure what i should be looking to learn first and the order up until say bends etc, there doesnt seem to be a set way of doing things but i was just wondering your opinion. at present i have learned the full video of yours with the 3 riffs, along with learning how to hold and how to play single notes, i also currently u block for single notes and i have read that this may be an issue in the future, can you help please? sorry for the long question, thanks for all the videos!!
Hi James. Great your lovin the harmonica. Hole 2 inhaling is very important. A lot of people struggle with this note. Try inhaling air through nose while mouth if you can. Also think of yawning as this is relaxed open throat. I created a course that is really good for technique. Also helps you learn lots by ear. 67 lessons so you just learn one a day and within two months you will play really good. Technique is really important from the start. I use lips and good seal for single notes. If you would like to check out my course here is a link juzziesmith.com/store/67-harmonica-lessons-mp3/ have fun
@@JuzzieSmithCZcams Ah thanks for the reply mate!! Thanks for the tips, I’ve just seen you’re lessons on the site I’ll go ahead with it asap!… just one question if possible, what first 5 things would you advise to learn ?
@@JuzzieSmithCZcams Hello bud I’ve just bought and paid for your 67 lessons , I have just clicked on the download link and it says “sorry you have reached the download limit for this file” , but It doesn’t let me download it or view it? Can you please help- thanks
all your lessons are azwwesome i only have one arm cant cup the harm0nica what to do?
Thanks Norman. Your tongue can make great tone changes. Just work on that. I don’t use hand cupping much as always in holder while playing guitar. Awesome your playing 👍
OK on the train horn , I'm a bit confused , sorry about that Sir , but are you bending down or up ??
The trick is to start on the bend and release it. That gives the wha wha sound 👍
VIELEN DANK
What key are you using sir ??? or does it matter , my fave key is A .
I’m using key C. When you learn it then play on A. Also one of my favourite keys 😊
Hey Juzzie, is there anything I could do for you to be my harmonica teacher? I already know how to play it, I'm currently looking for a teacher to join me in the journey of improving my skills and become a professional
Hi Rebeca. I would recommend listen to the old greats like little Walter and Sonny boy Williamson. Learn to workout licks by ear and then use them in your own style. I’ll be creating more lessons at a professional level soon so best advice is try and imitate the greats 👍
You are the train
What key your in?❤
Key C harmonica 😊
Hello bud I’ve just bought and paid for your 67 lessons , I have just clicked on the download link and it says “sorry you have reached the download limit for this file” , but It doesn’t let me download it or view it? Can you please help- thanks
