Harmonica Important Tip

harmonicalive · 08-22-2010, 07:39 PM

To play Melodies on the harmonica what a lot of people dont know is that the 3 hole on the 10 diatonic harmonica is crucial in playing pretty melodies,blues and especially country. If we are using C harmonica there are four notes you can get out of the 3 hole of the harmonica. This is by bending the note. The 3 draw is a B. The 3 draw bent down a half step is a Bflat. The 3 draw bent a whole step is an A. The 3 draw bent a step and a half is the Aflat. This is really important in playing harmonica correctly. Learning from someone who is truley a great player is crucial and you need to go find them.

I think it would be great if you could embed youtube videos (see the link in my sig on how to, it's easy) here in the threads. That way, if you have a video demonstration, it could help people learn by having it here to watch instead of trying to find it in your youtube channel. But I will check out your channel when I get a chance. Thanks for the tip, but I don't even know how to bend notes so I have a lot of learning to do before I try stuff like this.
