John Sebastian, one of the most popular harmonica players of our time, teaches all the basics in this friendly, jam-along lesson. You’ll start by learning how to hold the instrument and play your first notes using both the "straight" scale and the blues "cross-harp" mode. Before long you’ll be getting the sounds that the pros get: vibrato, note-bending, wah-wahs, tonguing, rhythm playing, train effects and a variety of great licks and solos that you can use either as a soloist or in a band. This is a lesson that will lay down a solid foundation for more advanced study. Even if you already play you’ll want to take advantage of the expertise of this veteran performer and recording artist. You’ll even get to jam along with some great rhythm grooves by Conan O’Brien Band guitarist Jimmy Vivino. By the end of this DVD John sits out a few while you take over the solos. You’ll soon be blowing blues, rock and country harp with the best of them!

Very helpful
Nobody in our family knew how to play the harmonica so this video was quite helpful. It was far better than trying to read an instruction book on how to play the harmonica.

Good Teaching Tool
You are going to have to put in the work like anything else you want to learn. Sebastian gives you a good road map to follow.

Very helpful
As a beginner I wasn`t sure where to start on the harmonica, this video helped a lot! Right away I was able to bend notes and do a few other things. John Sebastian is very clear.

You can probably do better ...
As a beginner, I did not find this DVD very useful. I played it once, and had no desire to go back and watch it again. It was not very engaging, and the teaching style was meh. Maybe it was OK for others, but for me ... meh. This DVD could be improved by starting with instruction and basics, or perhaps better organization. It should start with an overview of what will be taught, then simple, straight-forward lessons ... and reinforcement. I would not buy another DVD from this instructor.

good styling info
I recently got this. I have a few instructional cds and dvds for harmonica. This one is very good showing phrasing and style with a few riffs. I enjoy it and re-watch different sections to learn more completely. I am glad I have it and would recommend it.
