Hello Ivan, welcome to the

Hello Ivan, welcome to the site. After logging in, the page that opens up is called your dashboard. This is the same page that opens up when clicking on your user name at the top right of any page. On this page is a large video frame with a play button in the middle titled “Watch Me First!” Watch this video, this tells you how to use the sight and where to start.

As a beginner, you’ll start with Blues Harmonica Fundamentals (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/blues_harmonica_fundamentals). After this lesson you’ll move on to studying two lessons at the same time… Tongue Block Study 1 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tongue_blocking_1) and Solo Harmonica Study 1 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/solo_study_1).

As you work through your lessons, you can also watch two beginning students on camera work through the same material with me. These students are my wife Sharon Barrett (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/sharon-barrett) and Hob Bosold (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/hob_bosold). You’ll find their questions, and my answers to their questions, helpful in your studies as well.

If you have any questions during your studies, feel free to ask any of the experts at BluesHarmonica.com on the forum https://www.bluesharmonica.com/forum

Best wishes on your studies.

Thank you for letting me know

Thank you for letting me know Brian. The first recording you sent out didn't show up (maybe a server timeout), but I see this one. I'm listening to it now and will send you comments shortly.
