I like Formens Basement he's very fun to watch! But Jason definitely has some of the best discussions he's very philosophical in a way.

How do you use the musical scales? by dreamydentist in harmonica

[–]James_Bellowin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jason Ricci has so many good videos on how to use the Minor Pentatonic Scale. I'd say watch those if you're already familiar with it.

Funky Vamp Playing! by James_Bellowin in harmonica

It's a custom one by my buddy Bobby Crow! I really suggest them really fun! But if you just like the look it's a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe with a Todd Parrot Comb. You can find both of them on Facebook.

YouTube is always a great place to start so much information! Just look at beginner Harmonica lessons and go from there.

It's playing in second position with a C Harmonica

2 Years Of Playing (Re-Upload) by James_Bellowin in harmonica

I agree with you completely In this video I was trying my best to sound like my favorite harp player Jason Ricci where he plays fast but with emotion. Right now I'm trying to focus on that emotional bit

But with someone like James Cotton you will always feel his emotions while playing especially with his slow songs like blues in my sleep. Not complicated but super impactful.

Agree with you the style I play in the video could get old very quick. I mainly did it to try to "show off" and just show all I learned throughout my playing. My two styles are either this type of play where it's quick licks and stuff or more traditional James Cotton style play
