Hi, my name is Marcus Milius. I play harmonica. I got a degree at the University of Southern California, a Bachelor's of Music, in Jazz Studies - Chromatic Harmonica. I play and teach harmonica here in New York City, and I'm happy to show you what I do. To play Blues on the diatonic harmonica, you want to be doing more draw notes. You want to play in second position, so if you've got a C harmonica you're playing in the key of G , 5 notes up. Uh, you'll want to resolve to 2 draw now, because this is your tonic now, and use more draw notes. Here's your 2 draw, and here's your draw chord, and that's your tonic note, uh, and your tonic chord. So you'll want to resolve most of your melodies and your notes to the draw. Simply by playing in second position, playing in the key of G on a C harmonica, and playing with accompaniment in the key of G, then you're automatically going to sound a lot bluesier. Second position, or cross harp is a bluesier sound. And to make sure you are doing that, you want to resolve to the tonic of the new key, which is 2 draw. So you're going to be up doing a lot more draw notes uh, on the low end of the harmonica so you can get that tonic chord for the key of G. Um, so do lots of bends as well, which are all in the draw on the low end. Holes 1, 2, 3, and 4. And that will give you a bluesier sound. And you want to bring the air in, for instance, for 1 draw, like you're gargling water. So, so the back of the tongue would go up, in the back of your mouth ...
Hi, my name is Marcus Milius. I play harmonica. I got a degree at the University of Southern California, a Bachelor's of Music, in Jazz Studies - Chromatic Harmonica. I play and teach harmonica here in New York City, and I'm happy to show you what I do. Playing a 12 bar blues on a harmonica can be as simple as just playing along with accompaniment that is doing a 12 bar blues so as long as you in the same key and you're playing in the correct position, blues can still be played in 2nd position which means you'll be playing in the key of G on a C harmonica, and that's also called a cross-harp. As long as you're playing in a cross-harp or second position with the accompaniment of a 12 bar blues, you'll be playing a 12 bar blues. The form is dictated by the accompaniment and your participation could simply be improvisation or on top of that, it would sound something like this. So there are 8 bar blues, 16 bar blues, and even three-two-bar form. And so what you want to do is learn to play the roots for each chord just like you would with as a bass player. The root is the lowest note of each chord and so for instance in a 12 bar blues in the key of G, the G chord, also known as the 1 chord, because there are 7 notes in a key typically and 7 chords. The 1 chord in the key of G is a G chord so you would play a G for the 1 chord and that is two draw. And then you go up to the 4 chord which is one blow, the 5 chord and one draw. And the 12 bar blues is 12 bars or measures of 4 ...

Harmonica lessons for this riff, see youtube video: www.youtube.com HåkanEhn plays Hohner Marine Band DeLuxe harmonica in G. Shure SM57 microphone connected into Boss recording studio. Boss BR-1200CD, digital recording studio: - bass and drums backing track - chorus effects - reverb - pitch shifter effects: harmonica, pitch -24 (two octaves lowered), D:E balance 60:100. D=direct. It´s the unprocessed harp sound. E=effect (pitch is shifted), in this video I lowered the pitch two octaves down. So it sounds like two harmonicas, one with natural sound and the other with pitch shifted. Here D:E = 60:100 which means I let the processed sound dominate.

Learn to play harmonica. MUSIC 102 Put this video on pause and read these side-bar notes first! The way most music is played when you perform it is - you play the song (the melody) or perhaps you sing it - or vice versa - then you improvise - then you close off in whatever way you wish - by playing the melody or singing it again .. or some variation of this formula. It's when it's time to improvise that befuddles newbies. This need not be! There is a practical way to go about composing a song and improvising. It's known as "call & response." 'Call and response' - refers to an exchange of phrases. The phrase may be 2 bars long, - or 4, - or 8. It's a structure that's rooted in the folk traditions of choral singing of many peoples - and was used by African slaves and their descendants in the USA, when it became the backbone prescription for the blues. It's heard in almost every 12 bar blues song! And you hear it, if you listen, in much rock and roll, gospel, jazz , etc.. Let's examine how the 12-bar blues is structured and see how the call & response principle is employed - The 12 bar blues consists of THREE PHRASES. Each PHRASE is four bars long. The first phrase makes a statement {makes a call} ~ The second phrase {is a response} ~ it repeats the statement exactly (or with a variation) ~ The third phrase resolves or completes the statement. HOW TO GO ABOUT COMPOSING A SONG. One way is to compose the lyrics and then put a melody to it. Because of space constraints I'll ...

In this lesson I try to answer the questions: "What key harmonica should I be playing?" and "What does "key" mean?" It's a very easy introduction to the idea of music, for the harmonica beginner. The key to "key" is to understand that everything boils down to patterns, or relationships. You can play the same harp patterns or tunes on ANY diatonic harmonica. Switch harp keys and the music switches key too.
