David's Tip of the Day: Root Note Overuse

Listening to all of the Rhumba King entries today... fantastic work here!... one of the two most common errors (more on the second one tomorrow) in the top placing entries on my list is the overuse of the root note. This would be G for 2nd Position (2, 6+), D for 3rd Position (1, 4, 8) and C for 1st Position (1+, 4+, 7+. 10+) relative to the C Harmonica.
