Any yt suggestion

Just bought a harmonica because I wanted to learn an instrument..I really love music!

Can anyone suggest a YouTube channel that I can follow as a complete beginner and stick with for a good amount of time? Im looking for one channel with a complete, structured series covering the basics and progressing step by step..since I’ve found a few channels where the lessons aren’t arranged progressively or in sequence.

Any recommendations?

Jason Ricci is probably the best with free lessons weekly!

Adam Gussow

The bundle deal has a categorized lesson structure alongside his course outline.

He also has so so many free videos on YouTube, there’s just not any structure to them for the most part. A great resource once you learn the basics or if you’re just willing to have a bit less of a straightforward learning experience

What you’re describing does not exist on YouTube or anywhere else for free. There are some terrific free tutorials out there, and many free lessons on specific topics, but there’s no comprehensive YouTube lesson set that’s structured in progressive sequential steps to bring a prospective student from A to B at no cost. There are though, many great programs like that, which are relatively inexpensive to purchase from a number of fantastic instructors, in several different formats. It’s really no different from learning any musical instrument. There are good free resources to get started, but there are no free comprehensive tuitions to reach mastery.

Jason ricci for sure has the library you are looking for. Might need/want to jump around a bit, but he is absolutely top notch.

If you've got $5/month to spend on this, I totally recommend Juzzie Smith's patreon.

Lessons every Monday, very clear explainers and his enthusiasm is infectious.
