But when I played camp fire songs at Scout Camp, when I got older, I could never call it that. It was always referred to as a "Harmonica." When I started to go to open mic at the Blues Bars, I could never call it either of the 2 names above. I have called it all 3 throughout my life, and to hear it called a "Mouth Harp" reminds me of when I first started playing... I just wish I could make blowing in as many holes as possible sound cool like it use to. Thanks buddy for the kind words.

I wish there would have been more instructional vid's 15 years ago, I think I would have been much further with playing the Blues Harp. I really can't say who has been my greatest "instructional Influences" I have been Watching Adam Gussow since he hit Youtube. I have had my mind blown by Jason Ricci. And had a couple of techniques take a change for the better with John Gindick... But I would have to say without a doubt, music really started to make a tons of sense and open up a new enjoyment when I started watching dobro33h on youtube. That is the honest truth. Thank you for watching.

I just tried some of it, with a reasonable degree of success. I only have a C mouth organ. (I cannot get used to referring to a mouth organ as a "harp" or as a "harmonica." We used to reserve the name "harp" for one of those wooden upright things with lots of strings, and the name "harmonica" for a mouth organ that had one of those push buttons on the high end that would allow some magical changes to be made.) In any case, though, I reckon that that was a great lesson on harp and harmonica and mouth organ. Great stuff, thank you Banjoman.

Just the how to hold the Harmonica was really helpful. I'm hoping you'll keep these coming, thanks! Mitch Hi Benjamin,
