Lee Oskar Explains Alternate Tunings

Hey harmonica fam - You may have already seen my post discussing alternate tunings here, but I just discovered this awesome video of Lee Oskar breaking down his system of different tuned harmonicas. Check it out and LMK whatcha think:

If you have any questions about which tuning would work best on a song you wanna play, just LMK and I can help you figure it out.

Aloha,

… wow. Just wow.

This opened up so many opportunities for harmonica growth.

I am currently working to learn blues harmonica. However, I also want to learn to play some old fashioned hymns. @Luke what’s do you recommend for that?

Hey Quan - glad you’re inspired by the other tunings. Most of the old-time hymns work great on standard tunings. You can check out a few that I’ve taught from back in the day here.

For songs like “Wade in the Water” the Natural Minor tuning would be perfect.

Rock on!
Luke

Visited the Tombo (Lee Oskar) showroom a couple weeks ago. What a trip! I love Japan but mostly the Japanese.
