So how do you think we're going to do this and get a good sound on the harmonica?
How is it going to work?
Well, first, how to hold it.
I don't really care how you hold it at this stage, because later in another course, I'll go into great
depth on how you hold it properly.
For now, just it doesn't matter.
Anything you want is going to be fine.
I probably tend to be more like that myself.
And I probably tend to.
Connect my hands to my face
and I connecting this hand to this face.
So that harmonica you can see them connecting my hands to my face would be the harmonica in the middle.
This is the only instrument that you play that disappears from view as you start to play it for the
for the player and the audience.
It's also probably the only way you can play it upside down without noticing it.
You've got it wrong.
So you can just have a normal breath like ha.
And that's exactly where we're going to start.
So let's use the middle bit of the harmonica, the middle section, and then we'll go down a little
bit.
So you'll be able to watch my face moving my head or the harmonica moving all that.
So keep a close eye on this as you're doing it, because I'm not going to be giving you any real technical
stuff here.
So if you see me going.
Can you see any movement?
Subtle, but you'll see it.
And then there's the breathing in and breathing out.
Now you should be able to see if I'm breathing out.
You'll see my cheeks puff out a little bit.
And I maybe I'll lean forwards a bit.
And then with the breathing in, you probably see my cheeks go in a bit and I'll probably be feel like
I want to lean back.
So give me an example.
Can you see it?
Or if you can't see it, can hear it.
And maybe I could make it easier by doing this.
Let me break out.
And this is breathing in.
So I'll do that when it's not what I think obvious.
If it gets a bit tricky.
So if we were going to start with skip to my loo.
So that was all breathing out, wasn't it?
Did you get that?
That was all breathing out.
Do it again.
And I'm slightly moving up and down the harmonica.
Let's just focus on that.
And the reason for that is because the melody note, which we're not really focusing on, the melody
note is in the top part of what I'm playing.
So you see him having to go down from the starting hole down back to it and then up.
It's not much movement, but it just helps to get the melody across within the chord.
A chord is a bunch of notes played at the same time.
On the piano.
That will be.
Three notes or more, I think, is how you define a chord, three notes or more played at the same time.
They don't have to be all on the same instrument.
You could have three instruments, each playing one note.
That would be a chord.
But the guitar plays are called.
And you strum three or more strings, doesn't it?
Or a ukulele.
His ukulele.
So if you were to play.
A chord
put out of tune, but you get the idea.
So three notes or more.
It's a chord.
The more notes you add, the more information you give to the cord set would be a cord of this, plus
more information.
We don't need to worry about that stuff.
Okay, let's let's leave it there and we'll crack on with skip to my loop next.
All right.
So in a minute.
