Oh wow, I kept reading about harmonica playing from the heart and been searching for that "IT" song that can cultivate my emotions so that I can put my heart out.And there are songs that meant the world to me,either they are too hard,no tabs or mainly too hard hehe!And so as suggested in previous post, I decided to try out YESTERDAY by beatles.But it seems that I had not finish my country road by John denver.I just finish row,row,row ur boat and i beginning to escalate too high.hehe! Anyway, I tried puckering for the yesterday song for the whole song cos the tongue blocking will need more practise and I felt so in tune, so heartfelt that although i stammered the whole yesterday song, I felt it affect me.I want that FEELING!!!

I love it!

I felt that way when I heard others play but this is the first time I felt it...wow! It really provoke the thin walls of ur heart...seriously. I think it kinda motivates me even more...insya-Allah.

WOW! Now I understand how it felt to play from the heart cos I really open my heart and wanted so much to play from the heart and this tune kinda strum my genuine feelings...hopefully it motivates me even further.

And after checking out the internet, I cannot find any secret tips from professionals or any that has rose to fame from scratch. I bet there are many wonderful stories out there...

I want to start this blog so it can motivate those budding musicians out there not to give up and start even though u are 100 years old, who knows it might be ur niche, right?

I was searching my whole life for many things ,only now, it seems to fall into pieces into places..alhamdulillah. I thought guitar was my thing, cos it look kinda cool.

Then I thought violin too cos I wanted to do it since childhood then I wanted to backpack to India thus Sitar came into mind and then sarod and then when I travel to Morocco , I thought the oud arbi ..then i went to Europe, I saw my uncle perform using the harmonica.He showed us and then he showed me his instrument,classy...the thought came to mind but I never give it a serious thought cos I took harmonica like a toy.In my mind, harmonica is associated with kids playing,toy and not a serious musical instrument to be taken into consideration..my bad.

now its open its vast skills and knowledge to let me see with wide open eyes and be in awe...Alhamdulillah.Dont ever underestimate the power of harmonica..ok?

Love,love,love.....the harmonica.

I can be the best harpist!! *affirmation to myself so that I can succeed.
(If u can visualise those who hate ur guts and those who look down on u as a positive motivation for u to excel further, that is even better!" Picture those faces laughing at u ,holding out the harmonica and then their faces changes as u WOwed them with ur magical breath and skills...

*got to picture a powerful dream,for powerful motivation,for powerful affirmation...
