This is a blog about harmonica and playing harmonica beyond typical blues harp. It started out focused mostly on John Popper and effects pedals, but now covers all things harmonica in 2022.
Thanks for these videos Mike, I started playing back in 1989 and my son has just recently asked me to teach him harmonica. I have been struggling to really get him started but that first video really describes how I learnt sucking and blowing insanely listening to Bob Dylan at first and generally shitting those around me.
Back then there were no internet lessons I just spent a year in my car driving, sucking and blowing and as I started getting single notes and bends I found I had shifted to listening to Sonnyboy Williamson and Little Walter.
This has really bought something back for me so glad John Popper made this video and equally really appreciating the fact you posted them here for me to find them
