HARMONICA
« on: July 31, 2011, 06:41:08 PM »
I just got a harmonica (about 7 years ago), and want to learn to play it.
I'm sure with all the other rednecks up here someone knows how to play one.
Anyone got any beginner tips?  Books or something?

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

usually you get a book with the harmonica, if not I'm sure youtube has some vids.
Be sure you know what key its in.

I should get one too

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Just put your lips together and blow

And somehow I expected Mabs' musical instrument of choice to be the flute.

My instrument of choice is guitar...right now.
As money permits I will be expanding my collection quite a lot.
It's C, diatonic...I think, no whammy bar or whatever you call it.
No book came with it, and Youtube videos are nice, but I'd like to know how to do more than just play from tabs.

yea, I play everything every day.
And rather than just 'books' I was hoping someone would recommend a specific book or two.
Nobody?

You ask him if he brought you a horse.

Then you shoot him.

When you say "but I'd like to know how to do more than just play from tabs," are you saying you also want to learn how to read sheet music as well as learn specific harmonica techniques such as tremolo, note bending, etc?

Basically yes.
Not expecting to be John Popper, but I may as well try.
Got nothing better to do.
