Being able to use your tongue as “The Harp Player's Drum Sticks”
Spicing up the Rhythms by adding new chords
Learning JP's tricks for “Letting Loose” and making up your own rhythm patterns.
Learning some of JP's simple tricks for playing along with other musicians. (This is not as hard as it may sound. We can still have tons of fun with the harp prior to the challenge of learning single notes in Level Three).
Harp Player's Drumsticks
This lesson is designed to support you in developing your ability to jam with other musicians as well as showing you a way you can take your train-time chugging to the next level.
Get out your “C” Harp and jam along with my Guitar on the upcoming video clip (taken from a section of):
The next two rhythms are designed to teach your tongue to dance.
The “T” and the “K” sounds can create well-defined rhythmic accents that will enable you to play at high speeds.
The "T" sound creates an accent in the front of the mouth, and how the "K" sound creates an accent in the back of the mouth.
I like to think of the "T" and the "K" sounds as the harmonica player's drumsticks. When you effectively learn to combine the two sounds you can increase your speed dramatically.
Click the player below to listen to me say “TICKA” at high speeds without the harmonica.
Train-Time Chugging on the “The General”
While playing holes 1 and 2 at the same time say “TUCKA” on the suck and “TICKA” on the blow.
