This is simply a demo of a good way to get better at playing 1st, 2nd and 3rd position. Simply, choose a jam track and go through all 3 positions to improve your ability to play those positions over any groove. Sorry no tabs for ya here…takes too much time…besides, it’s a great challenge for you to go through and try to figure out what I’m playing here. www.Harmonica123.com
Happy Thursday everyone! Just a jam today..not much of a lesson unless you want to try to pick apart some riffs. This is great practice however..try playing at least 1st,2nd and 3rd position over all of your jam tracks.
@RonnieShellist thanks man! what key?
Thanks man!
wow thanks ronnie
damn i need to get all the key harmonicas i have only a blues harp hohner in the key of c, and a duece and a quarter hohner harmonica in the key of A that harp has the chicago harp mississippi sound i love it but it’s limited edition i don’t know if you heard of the duece and a quarter but damn it’s a sick as harp so i don’t play it much cause it’s was like 80 bucks and i don’t want to blow out the reeds on it..
Hi, from Brazil…
Thanks, great lesson.
lets go to the pratice…
Fernando.
And now ladies and gentlemen for my next trick
Great playing by the way
What kinds of harps are those?
Wow you gave me a much greater understanding of the differences of positions 1, 2 and 3. Thank you!
@MrAxSAP i believe i was using my custom Nelson harps (custom MBs)
Just wondering what’s the point in having it unless you play it, unless it’s awful pretty that is. I don’t think you have to worry about blowing out the Deuce. It’s about the toughest harp you’re going to find around. The reeds in a Marine Band are .9 mm and the reeds in the 225 are 2.25 mm. That’s why it’s called the 225 or Deuce and a Quarter. I’ve got a “C” Hohner 2000 limited edition that I play all the time. Still sounds as good as when it was new. Maybe even better.
Brilliant, I could listen to this all day
@musikmanbob
hey thanks for letting me know that the deuce and a quarter is a good and strong harp i haven’t talked to too many people who have even heard about that harmonica yet along know about how thick the reed plates are but that’s good to know though thanks i appreciate the advice.. know im gonna start playing it do you own one of these harps if so what key is it in and how do you like the way it sounds and plays.
I’ll try again later. I keep getting the twirling circle of HELL! Man do I hate that! Want to hear this!!!!! What the… Why does this happen????
@RonnieShellist
Would it sound that good on a “non custom” harp like the special 20 or marine band?
