You can bend and play with great tone. All any beginner or intermediate needs to jump quantum leaps in bending and tone is the correct embouchure and the correct use of air mouth and throat.

You might be someone with no musical experience.

  • Maybe you tried to get "the sound" before, but failed.
  • Maybe you are a good harmonica player now and want better tone and bending.

In 62 minutes, Jon coaches, demonstrates, informs, inspires, motivates and relaxes you in a lesson designed to get you bending 2 draw, 3 draw, 4 draw and 1 draw with rich, clear tone. You’ll learn the secrets of throat articulation, and of vibratto. And then Jon will reveal the amazingly powerful start-bending technique that gets total beginners bending, and puts intermediates in control of of their bends. This is the lesson that will put you over the top!

We promise: even one listening will advance your tone and vibrato immeasurably. Work with it daily, every day, for a week and you'll experience break-through results in every aspect of your harmonica playing, and jump several levels of bending proficiency. And yes, if you use Windows Media 10, you can burn this to CD.  



Chugging is the term we usually use to decribe fast-sounding rhythmic train music. Famous chuggers are MadCat Ruth (the best in my opinion), Sonny Terry, Deford Bailey, John Mayall. Chugging uses chords, both draws and blows, and a catchy repitive articulation. Once you get fairly good at it, you can bring the house down. Most people start with slow pattern that imitates the rhythmic of them old pistons, then build up speed, play a trainwhistle, slow down, build up speed again, stop, and shout "all aboard" again.

Although it sounds fast and difficult, Jon uses instruction, experience, information and inspiration to help you start in on the popular harp style immediately, and then get better and better. Because it fosuses on rhythm and how to turn yourself into a human rhythm machine, this lesson is essential for every body, beginning through intermediate.
