I set myself the challenge of practising bends for 30 minutes everyday for 90 days. In this video I show you what happened and what I learnt. I've put my learning into a 5 step plan for others. Let me know in the comments if you would want to do a 90 day challenge (looking at bends or something else) or if you've ever done anything similar.

    I need a diatonic harmonica to improve myself. I've been using tremolo harmonica and its limiting me. Diatonic & chromatic harmonica are not in musical store here in Nigeria 🇳🇬

    I have only played Hohner harmonicas. I played my father’s Marine Band since I was 6. It was given to me when I was 8 because I showed great interest. I have a Tremalo and a Chromatic harmonica but I love the diatonic the best. After over 50 years my first Marine Band gave up. I bought a Special 20 and I love it but prefer the tone of the Marine Band. The new MB was harder to bend but found out it needed to be broke in. My sons weren’t interested but my grandsons want to learn. They are both getting harmonicas this Christmas.

    Learning the harmonica Blind is Hard! This was a great little video that has helped my understanding of how the harmonica works quite well. Now I've just got to try and imprint the notes/breaths into my head 😂 four, five, six, seven is easy enough. It's the two groups of three that keep tripping me up. Think I've got it though, one blow C Then D, to blow E Then G, three blow G Then B, four blow C Then D, five blow e Then f, six blow G Then A, seven draw B then see , eight draw d Then E, nine draw F then G, 10 draw a Then see. Blow holes, one, two, three for a C major chord, draw one, two, 3 for a G cord. would be great to know if there's anything else I should know if you've got the time, or nowhere I can go to hear it all either in a video or on text that can be read out ✌️
