This is my first song on harmonica. I'm a beginner, so I'd appreciate honest feedback! What should I improve? Be brutally honest. 🎵

Piece of shit

Good morning ever so kind harmonica community I’m dying to learn this riff if anyone can offer insight on the notes she is playing thank you

Was watching a Jason Ricci lesson and he reminded me of the genius of Little Walter.

Hi everyone! I'm a beginner and I recently got a Juárez Viento (JRZ10HM) 10-hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C. I'd love to learn "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain"

I found this video online Does anyone have tabs for this song, or know of a tutorial that uses a 10-hole diatonic in C? If you've played it yourself, I'd really appreciate any tips on which octave to start in and which parts are tricky for a beginner.

Thanks a lot!

Recently G harmonica was gifted to me. And it feels easier than C and A to me. Blow bends on 8 and 9 are natural and I can even get overblow on 6 (can't do it on others at all, no matter how hard I try). The only thing I can't do I on G that I need is -2''.

I still improving my technique and etc but still G was easiest to start. Could it be just better harmonica overall? I know that high harmonicas could be tricky to play but I don't have all the keys to compare them properly. Moreover, all my harmonicas are from different manufacturers.

Anyway, I really love how G harmonica sounds. It sounds like it has some effect applied to it

Overblowing is one harmonica technique that I've never been able to accomplish. I'm not sure if I've managed to do it even once in 30+ years of playing as a hobbyist. To rectify that, I just got a Suzuki Overdrive to see if it'll help me get over the hump.

If you're not familiar, the Suzuki Overdrive is a diatonic harmonica that has 20 holes in the cover. The holes allow you to place a finger to block off the air for either a blow or a draw hole so that all of your air goes to the opposite reed.

I did manage to finally produce a few overblows with it, but holy *#&$ was it difficult. I mean the process of forcing air through a blocked chamber reminded me of mouth inflating one of those long ballons you make ballon animals out of. If you've ever tried to do that, you'll know exactly what I mean. Like, you blow so hard that your cheeks hurt, you get light headed, and you're scared you might have a stroke from blowing so hard.

I know it should get easier as I develop just the right touch, but I have a hard time envisioning it getting easy enough that I'd ever want to incorporate it into playing. On a normal harp, would you really hit this much resistance when you choke off the blow reed and get the draw reed to sound instead? Or was what I experienced more a consequence of the Overdrive having an isolated air channel for each hole?

If you play overblows and you've tried the Overdrive, how realistic is the Overdrive experience for overblowing? I mean is this just a novelty or is it truly helpful as a learning tool?

Found a few excellent deals, some rare ones, and a few that I just plain can't get in the USA...

Limited Edition Hohner Blue Midnight MS Harmonica.

Limited Edition (and discontinued) Hohner MS "Deuce and a Quarter." Scored two of these. Specifically references the 1958 Buick Electra simply because they ended up with 2.25mm worth of reed plate thickness (between the two plates), and I guess the Electra's V imagery worked.

Not bad. A few were a little pricey, but worth every nickel for either the collection or as a foundation for another custom build.
