I just bought a harmonica a couple of days ago, because I sit in a forklift all night on an industrial site in Northern Canada. But, I'm not that busy. It's no place for me to bring my guitar, and I've always wanted to learn a harmonica. And if you think about it, it's pretty ridiculous that there's this weird character, in the dark, sitting in a forklift, playing a harmonica. So, I was looking around on KZread, and I found you. Since then I've been entertaining the heck out of myself in my forklift, because I've been learning from your videos. But that's not why I'm taking the time to write a comment on here. The reason I'm writing a comment is because I want to tell you, that you're maybe one of the coolest people I've ever seen do any kind of instructional video on KZread. Just your vibe, is so awesome. You are definitely a very rad human being!

Hey, I'm from Bali, Indonesia, I'm 68 years old, just learning harmonica🫢. Surprised to find someone like you who is so much fun to watch, so friendly, so simple; the people around you must be so much fun too. I can't move from note to note beautifully yet, but with the help of your video, I will keep practicing. When you get a chance to travel to Bali, please let me know, best regards🙏🙏🙏

Juzzie Smith, You are the BEST !! A good friend who played harmonica for 65 years recently passed away. He could make the instrument walk and talk, and was a joy to hear, solo, or with the many musicians he jammed with over the years. When she learned that he played harmonica, the doctor in the ICU put together a multi-hour blues harmonica play list, to help ease his passing into the next world... Bless her heart... Some time later, his friends discovered his legacy, a mini-SD card [ one-quarter the size of a postage stamp ] containing hours of his playing and jamming, material for a CD he never got to put together... OMG, What a Treasure ! His friends will be playing along at his memorial...

My father bought me a harp when I was eight years old and he taught me the easiest tune to learn on a harmonica "three blind mice" I mastered that tune in a day and I've been playing the instrument ever since and I am currently teaching my grandson's to play anything they want just like their grandpappy 😉

Honestly I've wanted to learn the harmonica for years as I always though it was such a cool instrument. I bought one a few months ago and kind of gave up pretty quickly when I realised how long it must take to master. However, your videos are so easy to watch and understand, and then there's how good you make them sound, you've given me a second wind to stick with it. Much love.

If I may suggest when starting…if you overplay your lips and mouth get tired until they “muscle up” and your lips develop “calluses”. I got frustrated at first until I got past that. 15 mins is a good start.

Because of you (and Gussow, Wilde, Ricci etc;))i made people happy this weekend . Thank you.

A big hello from the UK 🇬🇧. I have just ordered my first harmonica at the age of 34 and I am really looking forward to my new adventure whilst following your channel ❤

I love this rift and your way of teaching. It’s simple enough for me to grab a hold of it. I’ve been blowing the harmonica for a while, but have never been able to play along with a blues riff. I love this sound so much.❤

Just to say, after a couple days, it’s getting better and better! I am enjoying this so much.

Love this lick. I never could get the guitar and harmonica together. I spent the late 60s and early 70s driving across Texas at night traveling from one rodeo to the next holding the steering wheel with my knees playing country songs on the harp.

Learning to play at 46..love the sound of blues on the harmonica.. Will b watching intensely...

I stumbled across this video and honestly can’t remember how I ended up here lol. I have played guitar so long it just comes naturally. So music is in my blood and I said what would be a fun add on instrument. So one day on a trip I stopped by Cracker Barrel and picked a cheap 10$ harmonica and had a lot of fun. Well I was gifted one in the key of E and had good intentions for it but I never was able to get it to do what i wanted to do with it. This video was one of those were it’s like oh it was that simple but I would never had figured it out. Great video. You did an excellent job explaining how to play. Now I wish I still had my harmonica in the hey of C lol.

Turned. 77 a couple weeks back. Harmonica set gifted to me because I love the blues. Your tutorial has got me hungry… thanks pal!

Thanks mate. Great story. I also loved listening to old blues and try to work out the licks and grooves by ear. Such a great skill to learn by ear. This was my main reason for creating my harmonica course ‘Press Play & Blow Away’ as I wanted to teach other so they can learn just from listening 👍 have fun learning 🎶

So Good, please put more classes guitar and harmonica, you are the best👏👏

I pick up the bass last April (2022), never play a instrument in my 63 years. I know play in the band at our church and have sat in on a few jams. The mouth harp has always been on my list. Yes Muddy Waters’, “Manish Boy”, is THE song. You can Juan, improve lyrics etc. Your tutorial earned my subscription.

Love you Juzzie, we are true musicians we play because we love it !!!😎👍🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶

Wow, I’ve been working with your videos to help me learn to play harmonica. I’ve been at it for about a month now and the fact that I am able to follow along with you and I’m beginning to understand your “short hand”, I’m really, really enjoying this journey. I’m a 59 year old man who has never been musically inclined and here I am actually learning how to play an instrument. I am beyond grateful for the knowledge that you have been sharing with us and I am looking forward to seeing all of your videos and eventually engaging in your classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are an Awesome Artist. Be well.

Keep ‘em coming!!!!

Had a guy at a bar give me my first harmonica last week. Always wanted one, never bought it. Then I found you as I looked for lessons online. What a breath of fresh air you are, sir! Your energy is fantastic and you're always smiling. The world needs more of you. I ordered a Hohner Special 20 the other day, hope it's got the growl I'm looking for but either way, I think I'll take your course and get after it. You have truly inspired me with this little lick here and with some practice I'll get it down. I confuse the suck and blow lmao. I hope this message finds you well and thank you for the great energy!

Thank you, helped me a lot. I didn't realize I have improved over the past months just playing from the little music in my head. I'll get a beat in my head or hear something that sounds good ,like what I just heard you playing and I try to replicate it on the harmonica, then I'll record it because it helps me listen to my mistakes. I'll never be professional, really not trying to be but just playing something from my mind, heart that makes me and others feel good. That's what I believe music should be to make you feel good, happy and put a smile in someone's heart. I truly believe music and laughter can bring healing to the body and soul. I love music and I love laughter but more than that is to give or bring that out of people and we all can make this joyful sound that makes music and make someone's day better and they leave a better person. Thank you again. Subscribed and make this world a better place with joyful music.
