Ok so after what feels like an eternity here I am, finally, with my next tutorial... but THIS TIME I am using a real diatonic harmonica. That's right people, after copious complaints about the fake synthy sounding harmonica I had been using up to this point (even though it was a sampled electronic version of a Hohner Marine Band harmonica, but let's not split hairs) I decided to point the bullet, or in this case the harmonica, and give the people more than cake!
So yeah, that's one of the reasons why it took so long to make this one, because while I am a "player" I am not a "performer" and I don't even want to begin explaining how many times I had to play this darn song while recording it before I arrived at this finished product. I don't know what it is. When I'm alone and playing with no one listening, I'm pretty ok... but put a person or a mic in front of me and BAM. I am not so good any more. Of course performing well comes with practice, so maybe as I continue to make these tutorials this way I will be able to make them better and quicker. But at this stage no promises.
So now, a little bit about this song and its history (thanks wikipedia!) In 1910, in Bath, Somerset, the English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly initially wrote the words to "Danny Boy" to a tune other than "Londonderry Air". After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret Enright Weatherly (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 (an alternative version of the story has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air".
Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs of the new century. In 1915, Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy".
Jane Ross of Limavady is credited with collecting the melody of "Londonderry Air" in the mid-19th century from a musician she encountered.
Personally I've never even heard of Londonderry Air, but if you're looking for a harmonica lesson on how to play Londonderry Air then this is the tutorial for you I guess!
The original lyrics by Frederick E. Weatherly wen something like this.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow,—
Oh, Danny boy, Oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Avé there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend
and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
That sounds about right.
As for what the lyrics actually mean you can read more about this classic song by visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Boy
Now as for the various other things in this tutorial, the crazy gold bathing Leprechaun was drawn by me. That's right, I drew that. It was borrowed from my story The Majestic Unicorn which for the curious among you can be read hear https://kertoons.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-majestic-unicorn.html If enough people ask me, maybe I'll make a video based on it one day. I would have done it already but no one seems to like my songs/stories, they just want me for my tutorials.

I drew the rainbow myself too. The special effects. Those were me, with a little help from Adobe Audition and the audio, all recorded by me on Logic Pro X and using my snow ball blue, for the most part... well, for the some part... can't remember what the name of my other mic is. Anyway, if you are the impatient type and can't wait, and I mean really can't actually wait for reals, until my next video comes out then don't forget, you can check out my TABS page, there's a link in the description below, and until next time stay tuned.

Butterfly Commando Project - Part One
Sorry, new tutorial coming real soon! I promise!

Here's a deeper look into my latest digital art project, Butterfly Commando. This piece was ultimately inspired by a piece of music I wrote some years back by the same name. The music was a random thing I created on the fly using Garage Band but it conjured up images of killer butterfly men defending the world against, Oh I don't know, the Butterfly Effect?
In any case if you follow this series you will get an in depth look of the entire process from the moment I select the objects I want to recreate, to the tracing, colour filling and finally, hopefully the eventual printing of the stencil I create here onto a canvas and attempt my first real actual paint on paper work of art.
So on one hand you get to see in this series me doing what I always do, but eventually it will become me trying and either failing or succeeding at something I've never really tried to achieve before.
So is it art? Gosh, I don't know, how should I know? Art, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are people who look at Monet and yawn while others who would think a framed booger is the most beautiful thing they've ever seen... so call it what you want. I'll be fast asleep by the time you come up with a definition of whatever it is I'm trying to achieve here!

How I Create My Channel Art - Man #Duck - 28 Hours of Drawing in Under 8 mins

If you’ve been a watcher of my channel for a while now, you’ve probably noticed my channel art!
From the finger that points to my instruments to many of the instruments themselves, along with the many other obviously “drawn” people and things throughout my tutorials.
Well, in this video, I’ve decided to unveil my technique and demystify how it is that a simple wanna be musician like myself is able to draw such a wide range of peculiar art pieces for my videos.
My main concern is that the demystification process will prove me to be a hack, artistically speaking at least! If you watch my earlier videos you will notice that my pictures were terrible! The fingers were creepy, the instruments a joke and the animation even jokier!
But the more time I spent in Adobe Animate, the more determined I became about delivering better quality. I imported pictures of the things I wanted to “Draw”. I traced them and ended up with better pictures but still with a cartoony outline… so I zoomed in and traced again. I discovered that the more I zoomed into a picture and traced around the various shapes and colours the better the “drawing” became. At one point I discovered I could create photorealistic pictures the more I zoomed in and traced around whatever shapes appeared on my screen…. but not only was that incredible time consuming, it also crashed my computer half a million times!
And like my wife said, “Why not use stock photos instead?”
Which was of course a good point.
Recently I was introduced to the work of artist Sue Cooper. She had seen one of my Duck photos on Unsplash and recreated a beautiful watercolour of the same Duckling in this video. I discovered she had a channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS7b...) in which she did timelapse videos of her process, which I found captivating.
Now obviously there are a bagillion artists who do the same, but none of them had ever done one of one of my photos, so there!
But it was after watching these time lapse paintings that I began to really consider that maybe some of you might like to see how I do mine?
And this video was there result! What you are watching in this video is the result of approximately 28 hours of screen time by yours truly. Thankfully I've been studying lately and had a lot of important lecture notes to listen to while I did this, otherwise I would have gone insane!
The final product of this video will be available to purchase on opensea.io by the way... eventually. Stay tuned for the link.
My apologies if the video is too fast. But I was determined to fit 28 hours worth of giggery pokery into just over 7 minutes of video, or in other words the music I was setting it to was 7 minutes long and I didn't want to go beyond that!
Speaking of music, the piece this video is set to is "And There is Madness in Our Hearts" by Kerin Gedge and I'll share a link to where it can be downloaded eventually!
If figured this would be a good, sneaky way of forcing people to listen to my music in any case ;)
As mentioned above, all my work is done using Adobe Animate, but if you wanted to give this technique a try yourself I'm sure you could do an even better job using Adobe Photoshop.
All my work is also done on a MacBook Pro. Sorry to disappoint you PC enthusiasts, but I love my Mac... I think it's pretty rad.

How to Play Wellerman on the Harmonica without Bends

Description time!
Soon May the #Wellerman Come, also known as "Wellerman" [c. 1860–70][is a sea shanty from my homeland #NewZealand. Nice to know we had a hit Sea Shanty down this way over a hundred years before we produced Crowded House and Russel Crowe! The song refers to the "wellermen", supply ships owned by the British Weller brothers who emigrated to New Zealand. (Ok, so they were British, but we're keeping the song England!) In early 2021, versions by British folk music group the #LongestJohns and Scottish singer #NathanEvans became viral hits on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around songs popularly considered #SeaShanties, which is fantastic because I intend to make a whole lot of Sea Shanty Tutorials in the future!
This song is super catchy, so be warned if you haven't heard it already, this song is going to get stuck inside your head even more than the song, This Song is Going to Get Stuck inside Your Head!
Someone asked me to do this one a few months ago. At the time I had no idea what it was. Believe it or not even though it is a Kiwi song, and it's had millions and millions of views on the old YouTube, no one, and I mean almost no one, in my country has ever heard of it. Which is very sad. Kiwis, being members of a small isolated country take a lot of pride in our past achievements. Sir Edmond Hillary features boldly on our five dollar bill for conquering Everest. Kate Shepherd, for her efforts during the Women's Suffrage movement graces our $10 note! Peter Jackson made 6 of the best movies ever and we gladly gave the world The Flight of the Conchords! Viva La Dirt League are also one of our own... but why Wellerman remains buried and unknown down this way I wouldn't know.
But there is hope. When I played this song to my kids and to my nephews it became a cult phenomenon amongst the various aged children in my life. Not only does my own son play it relentlessly every time he gets close enough to Alexa but my nephew went home and belted it out on his own device to his mother's dismay. Next thing I know I'm getting a text message, an angry text message, from my sister in law cursing me for my blasted Sea Shanties! So maybe that's why it's not so big down here? Maybe it has something to do with how annoying it is after the 150th play?
You folks at home are probably getting sick of me posting the same song for over 3 weeks now! Don't worry though, the world ain't going to run out of songs any time soon! I'll be back with "new" songs soon enough! And if you're a penny whistler, kalimba player, recorder lover, or fife wielder, don't worry, those tutorials are on their way too!
But back to the song and what it's all about! At least according to Wikipedia...
The song's lyrics describe a whaling ship called the "Billy o' Tea" and its hunt for a right whale. (Talk about a story line that is out of touch with today's sensitive hearers!) The song describes how the ship's crew hope for a "wellerman" (an employee of the Weller brothers, who owned ships that brought provisions to New Zealand whalers) to arrive and bring them supplies of luxuries, with the chorus stating "soon may the wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum." According to the song's listing on the website New Zealand Folk Song, "the workers at these bay-whaling stations (shore whalers) were not paid wages, they were paid in slops (ready made clothing), spirits and tobacco." In the whaling industry in 19th-century New Zealand, the Weller brothers owned ships that would sell provisions to whaling boats. The chorus continues with the crew singing of their hope that "one day when the tonguin' is done we'll take our leave and go". "Tonguing" in this context refers to the practice of cutting strips of whale blubber to render into oil. Subsequent verses detail the captain's determination to bring in the whale in question, even as time passes and multiple whaling boats are lost in the struggle. In the last verse, the narrator describes how the Billy o' Tea is still locked in an ongoing struggle with the whale, with the wellerman making a "regular call" to encourage the captain and crew.
Quite a history there! and let me assure you, New Zealand no longer has a whaling industry, neither has it had one for a very long time! So if you're a whale and in need of some safe waters come down this way and stay safe!
Thanks to everyone who watches this video, I certainly hope you managed to stick it out to the very end of the video and make sure you follow some of my links. There's the Buy Me A Coffee link at the top of this description, that's the really important one. Not that I love coffee, if I'm being honest I use the money to buy food! Until next time, stay tuned!

How to Play Wellerman on a Chromatic Harmonica

Hey folks! Harmonica lovers and enthusiasts of all ages! Here is a basic lesson for a fantastic song, Wellerman, made especially for Chromatic Harmonica. In case you're wondering, a Chromatic harmonica is the one with the button on the side! If you play a different type of harmonica then click on my playlists, I've got lessons for tremolos, diatonics and even a few other instruments, so don't be perturbed if this lesson isn't right for you!
#Wellerman, also known as "Soon May the Wellerman Come", dates back to the late 19th century when men braved the tyranny of the ocean with fishy beards and sang songs known as shanties. This particular Sea Shanty refers to the Wellermen, supply ships owned by the British Weller brothers who emigrated to New Zealand. (how nice a famous song with a connection to my homeland) In early 2020, versions by British folk music group the Longest Johns and Scottish singer #NathanEvans became viral hits on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around songs popularly considered sea shanties. So let's see if we can get this #tutorial the same viral status hey! If you would like to learn more about this song you can check out this cool article on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellerman
If you're keen on Sea Shanties then please let me know in the comments below what your favourite #SeaShanties are so I can look them up and have a crack at them! And if you feel like making a sponge bob joke or two then be my guest, it happens all the time.
If you have a harmonica that's in a different key then don't worry, just turn the volume down and follow the scary finger and arrows, and hopefully you should end up with something that sounds like the song I'm trying to teach you here!
When you get sick of my channel, or rather when you want to move onto more comprehensive lessons then please visit learntheharmonica.com for some great tutorials by Liam Ward. He's a pretty neat guy.
It's a Monday night in May as I type this... so far this is only the second tutorial I've made for this particular song, but rest assured me laddies (or ladies) that there are indeed many more yet to come, as I've recorded the narration for the various Tremolos as well as Penny Whistle and recorder.
If you're wondering when my next Kalimba lessons are due to come out the answer is I don't really know! Since I purchased my 17 key Kalimba I have been practicing quite a bit and am looking forward to producing a whole string of lessons for that one, so stay tuned.
Why am I talking about Kalimba? Oh yeah, that's right... I'm trying to write as many words for this description as I can! It's very hard to write a long description for something that is basically really basic and straight forward. You know what I mean? Seriously, my videos are like hey, here's a harmonica, and look this is a big scary drawing of a finger pointing at what holes are what and woah! Look Out! Now there are red and blue arrows flying around. So there's nothing much to describe!
I was using templated descriptions but I've noticed a substantial drop in views lately so I thought I had better experiment. I thought maybe writing longer and more original descriptions would help but man I'm struggling! Oh yeah, sorry about the animated whale... it is probably not my best "animation" to date... but this song is about a captain hunting a whale after all. We needed a darn whale! I couldn't find a decent enough stock photo of a whale so I decided to draw the whale, and what I ended up with looks like a big grey salami with eyes and a tale. But the TABS should make it worth while for you. I wonder who actually reads these things anyway? Seriously if you read this and have gotten this far please leave a comment so I can be wowed by the fact that human beings actually read these descriptions. I mean, seriously what is the point of a description anyway? Don't videos generally speak for themselves? I hope you guys are enjoying my channel and my music lessons. I do enjoy making them, even though my computer can be a real chore sometimes... you can help me get a new one by buying me a coffee... you know it's not an actual coffee.. it's just a polite way to say, hey, I gots to get paid! You know? I suppose I should tell you that I have another channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvFXjR-sWQrQwf1sFZANew it's not that great, just music that I've recorded over the years and I don't upload to it very much. So you've got this far. Leave me a comment, ask me stuff, make a request but please, public domain songs only! Tell me about stuff and things. But most of all keep practicing and until next time, STAY TUNED!

"Turkey in the Straw" is an American folk song that first gained popularity in the early 19th century.
"Turkey in the Straw" was initially a popular tune for fiddle players as early as 1820. In the late 1870s until the 1930s, "Turkey in the Straw" was performed in minstrel shows by blackface actors and musicians.[1]
The first part of the song is a contrafactum of the ballad "My Grandmother Lived on Yonder Little Green", published in 1857 by Horace Waters, 333 Broadway, New York, which itself is a contrafactum of the Irish ballad "The Old Rose Tree" which was published by at least 1795 in Great Britain

Tune Basics is the popular music #education series created by #NewZealand based #musician/content creator Kerin Gedge. It is designed to teach anybody who wants to learn the fundamentals or very basics of how to play #MusicalInstruments which includes #DiatonicHarmonica, #TremoloHarmonica with 24 holes, Tremolo #Harmonica with 16 holes, Tremolo Harmonica with 20 holes, #ChromaticHarmonica, kalimba with ten keys, recorder and #PennyWhistle (also known as #TinWhistle).
The aim of Tune Basics is to acquaint the student with clear graphic based #instructions for how to play simple and recognisable songs. Tune Basics will typically avoid delving too deeply into technique or musical styles but will, where possible, provide the pupil with relevant links to professional musicians who can take the learner deeper when they are ready to move on from basic #lessons.
Generally speaking Tune Basics will focus more on popular songs that are in the #PublicDomain. This is to protect the channel, Kerin Gedge, from any complications that may arise due to copyright claims. But it also aids the musical student with the belief that most popular public domain songs are already deeply embedded in the player’s subconscious, which lends itself to the learning experience. For example tunes like #TwinkleTwinkleLittleStar, #HappyBirthday or even #ChristmasSongs like #SilentNight or #JingleBells are so entrenched in modern western minds that learning the songs is “easy” because you’re already half way there!
Although on occasion #KerinGedge will provide a lesson on a modern popular song without monetising the video. Examples include #TheCoffinDanceMeme which became very popular during 2020, #BillyJoel’s #PianoMan or #Snufkin the harmonica playing wanderer from the #Moomin series.
#TuneBasics also provides #HarmonicaTabs #TinWhistleTabs /#PennyWhistleTabs and #KalimbaTabs on the Tune Basics blog, link provided above. Please be sure to browse our #TABS list as often we will provide TABS that are yet to be animated into #Tutorials. In other words you may find TABS for songs that aren’t available on the channel.
TuneBasics believes that ANYONE can learn to play. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what your musical background is. If you can follow the simple instructions provided in these videos then you’re well on your way to becoming a musician. But don’t expect to “get it” right away. Practice will always make perfect. Sometimes you may need to watch these tutorials a few times to get the hang of it. Most songs on Tune Basics are broken up into simple manageable phrases so learn one phrase at a time! Pause, practice and then continue. And when you’re ready to move onto more complicated lessons check out #LiamWar at #learntheharmonica.com or #TomlinLecki at #tomlinharmonicalessons.com.

This tutorial is for the recorder
God Defend New Zealand (Māori: "Aotearoa", meaning 'New Zealand') is one of two national anthems of New Zealand, the other being "God Save the Queen". Legally the two have equal status, but "God Defend New Zealand" is more commonly used. Originally written as a poem, it was set to music as part of a competition in 1876. Over the years its popularity increased, and it was eventually named the second national anthem in 1977. It has English and Māori lyrics, with slightly different meanings. Since the late 1990s, the usual practice when performed in public is to perform the first verse of the national anthem twice, first in Māori and then in English.

"#DrunkenSailor" is a #SeaShanty, also known as "What Shall We Do with a/the Drunken Sailor?"
The #shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard #SailingShips, especially those that required a bright walking pace. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships' crews, especially those of military vessels, were large enough to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck. With the advent of merchant packet and clipper ships and their smaller crews, which required different working methods, use of the shanty appears to have declined or shifted to other, minor tasks.
"Drunken Sailor" was revived as a popular song among non-sailors in the 20th century, and grew to become one of the best-known songs of the shanty repertoire among mainstream audiences. It has been performed and recorded by many musical artists and appeared in many popular media.
Although the song's lyrics vary, they usually contain some variant of the question, "What shall we do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning?" In some styles of performance, each successive verse suggests a method of sobering or punishing the drunken sailor. In other styles, further questions are asked and answered about different people.
The song is No. 322 in the #RoudFolkSong Index. For more details see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_Sailor
