New Harmonica Player
Dear David, I hope you are well. I am a new harmonica player and just received a Hohner Marine Band Harmonica in key of G. I have been palying around with it and seem to be doing pretty well with it so far I seem to be a lip purser and have learnt to play 'Heart of Gold' by Neil Young. However, I do seem to have an issue with the Draw 3 on my G harmonica, it just sounds awful when I draw on there, is this a problem with the harmonica or is it my technique? I assume it's technique but just wanted to make sure my harmonica is alright. If you could get back to Me I would be very grateful. Wishing you all the best for 2020. Kind Regards
Tim
Dear David, Thank you so much for the swift response. I checked out your video and adjusted my togue position and I am now getting a clear 3 draw on my G harmonica. Thanks for the advice I am realling looking forward to going through your lessons. Thanks again and Kind RegardsTim
Fantastic, great to hear Tim.
Welcome to the site, and Happy New Year to you too Tim. This is a very common issue for new players (it's very rare it's the harmonica). Visit this page https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq and click on "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!"
