And now to show my face on the blog. I picked up the Harmonica earlier this year. I can do the simple stuff, can’t bend a note yet and only do a pale imitation of a vibrato.
But here’s me doing the theme from Sholay (1975):

And then “Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyaar ke Charche” from Brahmachari (1968), with a lot of mistakes and a faulty harmonica (not to mention a faulty harmonica player):
Aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche – Harmonica from Devanshu Mehta on Vimeo.
Any other suggestions for Hindi songs that sound good on the Harmonica?
Awesome! I saw your guitar video too, I think you’re better than me (although I’m not much to beat). Can you do the tune for the Sholay intro credits?
Out of the two names it is known by, I like the sound of “Harmonica”…. as if in harmoneee 🙂
That may be the key to playing the instrument, I guess…. be in harmony.
At my guitar lesson, I used the word mouth organ and no one understood what I was talking about. Everyone calls it a Harmonica in the US.
“Mere Sapno ki Rani” from Aradhna?
i don’t suppose you’ve seen the dr k chaudhary videos that USED to be on youtube.
anyway. this is the finest piece of music i’ve heard all week.
You mean Chaudhary’s gone from YouTube? Sadness…
