How to play the harmonica1. What Kind of Harmonica should I

use?* This esongbook is designed for the ten hole Marine Band style

harmonica (which comes with several names). If your harp has a singlerow of ten holes with the numbers one through ten engraved in thecover over the holes, then this course is for you.

* These diatonic scale harmonicas are for us musical dummies.The diatonic scale is the do-re-me-fa-so-la-te-do scale that you mayhave learned in chorus at school. It would include only the whitekeys on a piano in you were playing in the key of C.

*There are chromatic scale harmonicas which would include boththe black and the white keys or all the notes in an octave. Theserequire much more knowledge of music. However, you can play songs inall the keys on just a C harmonica.

*You do not have to know as much about music theory with thediatonic scale harmonica. But you do have to own a separate harmonicafor each major key in which we plan to play. We could own as many as12 harmonicas, though I think you will find that five or six willcover just about every song you will ever play. You can easily get bywith just a C and a G harmonica if you are not going to be playingwith a band.

* You should have at least two harmonicas to get the maximumbenefit from this software. You should have a diatonic scaleharmonica in both the keys of C and G.

* It is important that you keep in mind that you can play anysong, regardless of the key in which it was composed, on anyharmonica. If you only own a harmonica in the key of A, then everysong you play will be in the key of A, even if it was composed in Gor C. And if you pick up a harmonica in the key of D and play thesame numbering system, you are playing the song in the key of D. Youdo not have to relearn a song for each key.back to top

2. My simple harmonica notation systemis as follows:

* Over each word or syllable in the lyrics to a song is anumber.

* If that number is a 4, then you blow in hole number 4.* However if it is a -4 then you suck into hole number 4.

3. Only attempt to play tunes withwhich you are familiar.

* If you can hum it or whistle it, then you can learn to play itreasonably soon.

* In fact, think of yourself as singing the song through yourinstrument and the reeds of the harmonica as a substitute for yourvocal chords.back to top

4. How do I improve my playing?* Choose any song with which you are familiar. Then play each

line at least five times.* Start slowly and increase your speed with each repetition.* Once you have played each line at least five times, then play

the entire song at least twenty times.* Do not move on to another song until you have mastered the

first one.back to top

5. Do I have to play clear singlenotes?

* It is not necessary that you play clear single notes.* When trying to blow hole #4, it is OK if you include holes #3

and #5.* Eventually you will want to learn to play single notes.* Work at it, and it will come to you naturally.

6. Concentrate on tone, not speed.* The harmonica sounds best when you try to express emotion.* Speed only distracts from the real beauty of the harmonica.* Do not try to be a harmonica whiz. Concentrate on the quality

of tone, rather than speed.* The harmonica sounds best when playing slow emotional tunes.* Try to make your music express emotion.

back to top

7. So How can I produce clear singlenotes that express emotion?

* Pucker up as if drawing through a straw.* Wet those lips and insert the harmonica well inside your

mouth.* Wrap those lips around the hole you are trying to play.* Slide your harmonica inside your lips.

* Do not turn your head to move your mouth back and forth acrossthe harmonica.

* A mistake many beginners make is to try to play their harp outon the front of their lips, which makes it almost impossible to getclear single notes.back to top

8. How To Use Your Tongue To GetRhythm.

* Most beginners puff from their lungs for each syllable ornumber.

* It is much better to use your tongue to break up the syllablesand produce rhythm.

* Try whispering "Taa-Taa-Taa-Taa-Taa" through your harmonica inany hole.

* Just use one gentle, steady blow but break up its rhythm withyour tongue.

* Now vary your rhythm pattern, much like the old Morse Code.Whisper, "Daa-dit-daa-dit".

* When you are playing a song, use your tongue to form thewords.

* In fact, try to pronounce the lyrics to the song through yourharmonica.

* Think of it as "singing" through your instrument.* It will improve your playing tremendously.

9. How come the professionals sound somuch better than you?

* most professionals that you hear on recordings are usingspecial microphones and amplifiers that change the natural sound ofthe harmonica.

* However, you should know that the sound you hear from yourharmonica is not the same sound that someone standing directly infront of you hears. The reason is that you hear it partially from theinside, through your throat, nasal passages and up into your earcanal.

* For a more realistic listen to what you really sound like, youshould play your harmonica inside a shower stall (without the waterrunning). Then you will hear more of what others hear as the soundbounces off the walls.

* Also, everyone has a slightly different harmonica voice. Yourtone is partially produced inside your mouth. Children, with smallermouths, will sound different from adults. Men will sound differentfrom women. Big men will sound different from small men.

* You can have some control on your tone. In general, a gentleblow will have a more pleasant tone than a forceful blast of air.

Blowing from deeper in your throat will sound different from puffingfrom your cheeks. The same way you change your voice, is the same wayyou can change your tone.

* See if you can produce noticeably different tones by the wayyou shape your mouth, jaw and tongue.

* The experienced harp player will have developed his ear to thepoint that he can tell the difference.back to top

10. How to use your hands to changethe sound.

* You can use your hands to add effects to your music.* Cup your harmonica in your hands in such a way that you can

enclose it completely to muffle its sound.* Then by opening and closing your hands with each syllable, you

will be producing a "waa-waa" sound.* By rapidly opening and closing your hands you will be

producing a tremolo effect.* By opening your hands wide and leaving them open to form a

megaphone effect, you will increase the volume.back to top

11. Which style is best, single notesor chords?

* You should be able to play clear single notes by now. Butoccasionally you will want to open your pucker and allow three orfour holes to play.

* When you do, you will be playing a chord. It sounds well toinclude a chord where you feel appropriate in a song.

* The point is that you can play a song any old way you want.Someone else may play it completely different.

* There is no right or wrong way. Just make your own kind ofmusic.back to top

12. How to breathe* How often do you find yourself running out of breathing room

in your lungs in the middle of an important note?* How do you plan so that this does not happen?* How do you smoothly change from a blow note to a draw note?* And, how do you keep from getting winded as if you had jogged

a mile?* Breathing is an important factor in your harmonica playing. I

wish I could give you some steps to improving your breath control.There is not too much that I can say, other than it comes naturally.

* Each song is different. You have to play a song about 25 times

before you know ahead of time when to fill your lungs.* Here a few tips:

+ Blow gently. It can be downright exhausting to try toincrease your volume by increasing the flow of air passing throughyour harmonica. And it can wear the reeds out in your harmonicasooner than is normal.

+ Do not try to compete with the other instruments byplaying louder than usual. It will not work. The harmonica is not atrumpet. It is a soft-toned instrument that sounds best if played theway it was intended.

+ Play single notes. If you are playing three or four holesat a time, it is like playing three or four harmonicas at a time. Itjust takes that much more wind to play. And it can be exhausting.back to top

13. What is this bending notes stuff?* A bent note is one that is not true to the note the harmonica

was designated to play. A draw four on a C harmonica should be atrue D note. A bent draw four is actually playing it in such a way asto produce a note that is just 1/2 step down or a D flat.

* This is how some harmonica players are able to play songs thathave sharps and flats that are out of their natural position in theirkeys. It is how they use a diatonic scale harmonica to play notesthat are not programmed into their harmonica.

* It is also how you produce a wavy or bluesy sound on yourharmonica. By bending a long drawn out note, you can produce a rathernice sounding emotional expression to your music. You can make yourharmonica moan or wail. It gives a song a mournful sound.back to top

14. How do I bend a note?* Only attempt to bend draw notes, not blow notes. Stay down on

the low end of your harmonica. It is easier to bend a draw three thanit is to bend a draw 8.

* Make sure your lips are well moistened and the harmonica isplaced well inside your lips.

* Make sure you have an airtight connection around a singlehole. If air leaks around the side of the hole you will not be ableto control the amount of air flow passing through the reed.

* While drawing air through the hole (a good long draw at that),change the air pressure passing through your harmonica.

* An easy way to naturally increase the air flow is to drop yourjaw while drawing air, making sure to maintain an airtight fit aroundthe single hole.

* I suggest to my students that they say the word "Yawww" whiledrawing air in. This naturally causes them to drop their jaw.

* Practice this for a while until you notice the pitch of yourtone lowering. Then see if you can cause the pitch to wave up and

down.* Only use this draw bent note where it seems appropriate. Do

not over due it.back to top

15. Can I repair my own harmonica?* Far too many harmonicas end up in the bottom of desk drawers,

waiting for some magic repairman to come to their aid. Their ownersget frustrated with one hole that just doesn't sound right. Is thereany hope?

* That weird sound coming from that mysterious hole may be theresult of any one of several things.

* It may just be one of those difficult holes to produce a clearsweet tone. Every hole requires a slight different amount of air tomake it sound right. Most reeds are pretty forgiving and will producea sound pretty close to what is supposed to come out. But there isalmost always one hole that just seems to sound off key no matterwhat we do. Even if we go out and purchase a brand new harmonica,that same hole will give us problems. It is often that this holerequires the exact air pressure.

* Perhaps your harmonica needs to warm up. This is especially soif it is a new instrument or if you have left it in a cold car. Itmay be a little stiff. Often all that is needed is to hold it closeto your body for a few minutes.

* Perhaps a hair or thread has found its way inside yourharmonica. This happens to me often as I carry a harmonica in shirtpocket with my comb.

* Perhaps a small drop of moisture was allowed to remain insideyour harmonica and it formed a tiny bit of rust. A good practice isto pound your harp into the palm of your hand to knock out anymoisture that has been allowed to accumulate.

* Repair Tips:+ Purchase harmonicas that are constructed with screws or

nuts and bolts. This allows you to remove the cover plates. It is OKto remove the plates and no harm will come to your harmonica.

+ Remove any hairs or threads that have found their wayinside your harmonica.

+ Gently break free any reeds that are stuck from rustbeads.

+ Blow any dust or crumbs out of your harmonica.* That shiny new harmonica can lose its luster very fast. To

restore its appearance get a jewelry polishing cloth from the jewelrydepartment in Walmart and polish the covers. It does wonders.back to top

16. The Ten Hour Rule* You can learn all the basic skills on the harmonica in about

ten hours of playing time.

* After the first ten hours of playing, your skills advance veryslowly. Possibly your tone and expression will improve some. And yourbreathing skills will improve a little. But for all practicalpurposes, others around you will not be able to tell much differencebetween you and the more experienced player.

* I have heard the statement, The only difference between theharmonica player who has played ten hours and the one who has playedten years is the number of songs they have learned.

* You have probably passed the ten hour mark by now. If so,consider yourself as having arrived at the competent level of skill.

* From here on out it is just a matter of adding to the numberof songs you have memorized.back to top

17. Playing in public.* Sooner or later you are going to find yourself playing before

an audience.* Most harmonica players keep their skill to themselves. They

only play out on their deck or porch. If they have an audience, it ismost likely their dog.

* The real harmonica players find that playing their instrumentis good therapy. It soothes their emotions and calms their nerves. Itis their tranquilizer. Many marriages have been saved simply by theharmonica player partner going off by himself to play his instrument.In so doing, a war was avoided.

* But eventually, you will find yourself playing in front ofothers. It is a good idea to prepare ahead of time.

* First, begin by playing for your children or grand children.Kids are fascinated by the harmonica. And they never laugh at yourmistakes.

* Second, find a guitar player who will jam along with you. Aguitar can improve the sound of your playing 200%. Then when you areasked to play in front of audience at church or your local Lion'sclub dinner, you will not be alone. Having someone beside you, helpstake away the fear.

* Third, make sure you know the song you are going to play.Practice it at least 50 times before attempting to do it in public.This will give you confidence and it will surely show during yourperformance.

* Fourth, only play one or at the most two songs. Always leaveyour audience wishing for more, not wishing for you to quit.

* Fifth, play familiar songs. Choose songs that the audiencewill know the lyrics. If you are playing in church, announce the hymnnumber and let them read the lyrics as you play.

* Sixth, do not try to improve on the composer's arrangement.Keep it simple.back to top

11. And So It GoesBilly Joel

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5In ev-'ry heart there is a room,

-4 5 -4 5 6 6 5 -4 A sanc-tu-ar-y safe and strong.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5To heal the wounds from lov-ers past,

-4 5 6 6 5 4 4 4un-til a new one comes a-long.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5I spoke to you in cau-tious tones;

-4 5 -4 5 6 6 5 -4You an-swered me with no pre-tense.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5And still I feel I said too much.

-4 5 6 6 5 4 4 4My si-lence is my self de-fense.

4 5 6 7 -6 6 -5 6And ev-'ry time I've held a rose

-5 5 -6 -6 5 -4 4 4It seems I on-ly felt the thorns.

4 5 6 7 -6 6 -5 6And so it goes, and so it goes.

-5 5 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6and so will you soon I sup-pose.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5But if my si-lence made you leave,

-4 5 -4 5 6 6 5 -4then that would be my worst mis-take.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5So I will share this room with you.

-4 5 6 6 5 -4 4 4 4And you can have this heart to break.

4 5 6 7 -6 6 -5 6And this is why my eyes are closed,

-5 5 -6 -6 5 -4 4 -4It's just as well for all I've seen.

4 5 6 7 -6 6 -5 6And so it goes, and so it goes

-5 5 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6and you're the on-ly one who knows.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5So I would choose to be with you.

-4 5 -4 5 -6 6 5 -4That's if the choice were mine to make.

4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6 5But you can make de-ci-sions, too.

-4 5 6 6 5 -4 4 4 4And you can have this heart to break.

4 5 6 7 -6 6 -5 6And so it goes, and so it goes,

-5 5 6 6 5 -4 4 4 4and you're the on-ly o-ne who knows.

4 -4 5 6 6 6 6 5 Well I used to wake the morning

-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4before the rooster crowed.

6 6 6 -6 6 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 -4Searchin for soda bottles to get myself some dough.

6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 Brought them down to the corner,

5 5 5 5 5 -4down to the country store.

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 Cash em in and give my money

4 4 5 4 5 -4 4to a man named Curtis Loew.

6 6 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair.

6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care.

7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 -6 He used to own an old Dobro,

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5used to play it cross his knee.

6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 7 -6 6 5 4I'd give old Curt my money he'd play all day for me.

Chorus:

7 7-6 7 6 -6 7 -6 6 5Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew.

7 7 7 -6 7 7 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6 4Well I got your drinkin money tune up your Dobro.

7 7 7 -6 6 7 -6 People said he was useless,

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -4but them people all were fools.

4 5 6 6 -6 6 -6 6 5 -4Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker

6 6 6 6 6 -6 Momma used to whoop me,

6 -6 7 -6 6 6 5but I'd go see him again.

7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6 I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets,

-6 -6 -6 6 5try to stay in time.

6 6 6 6 6 6 He'd play a song or two

-6 7 -6 -6-6 -6 6 5then take another drink of wine.

Chorus: 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 On the day old Curtis died,

-6-6-6 -6 6 5nobody came to pray.

6 6 6 6 6 6Old preacher said some words,

-6 6 7 -6 6 6 5and they chucked him in the clay.

7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -6 -6 -6 Well he lived a lifetime of playing

-6 -6 6 5the black man's blues.

6 6 6 6 -6 -6 6 5And on the day he lost his life,

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5well that's all he had to lose.

-7 7 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 -4 You're say-in' you're sor-ry you hurt me

6 6 -7 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4But you've hurt me much more than you know

4 4 -5 -6 7 -6 -5 -6 6 You're ask-in' me where this call comes from

6 -6 -7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6Oh, I hope that you won't end up here

-7 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4Here's where to find me, my dear

CHORUS:

-7 7 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 -4I'm just on the blue side of lone-some

6 -7 -6 -5 6 -7 -6 6Right next to the Heart-break Ho-tel

-6 -7 7 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 -4In a tav-ern that's known as Three Tear-drops

6 -6 -7 -6 -4 -5 5 -4 4On a bar stool, not do-ing so well

VERSE 2.The floor has a carpet of sorrowBut no one can weep in the aisleAnd they say someone broke the bar mirrorWith only the ghost of a smileThe hands on the clock never alterFor things never change in this placeThere's no present, no past, no futureWe're the ones who have lost in love's raceREPEAT CHORUS

5 5 6 6 -7 -7 7 7And ice cream castles in the air

7 7 8 -5 6 -5 6 -5And feather canyons everywhere

6 6 -5 -5 6 -4I've looked at clouds that way

6 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 4But now they only block the sun

5 5 6 6 -7 -7 7 7They rain and snow on everyone

7 7 8 -5 6 -5 6 -5So many things I would have done

6 -5 -5 -5 6 -5But clouds got in my way

refrain:

8 8 7 -8 8 -9 8 6I've looked at clouds from both sides now

8 -9 8 6 8 -9 8 6From up and down and still somehow

-7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 4It's cloud's illusions I recall

6 6 -5 5 4 4 5 -4 4I really don't know clouds at * all

verse 2Moons and junes and Ferris wheelsThe dizzy dancing way you feelWhen every fairy tale comes realI've looked at love that wayBut now it's just another showYou leave 'em laughing when you goAnd if you care don't let them knowDon't give yourself away

refrain:

I've looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt's life's illusions I recallI really don't know life at all

verse 3Tears and fears and feeling proudTo say I love you right out loudDreams and schemes and circus crowdsI've looked at life that wayBut now old friends are acting strangeThey shake their heads they say I've changedBut something's lost and something's gainedIn living every day

refrain:

I've looked at love from both sides nowFrom give and take and still somehowIt's love's illusions I recallI really don't know love at all
