Hello fellow harmonica players!

I guess this topic came up a lot in this forum, but I'm really struggling about what kind of practice schedule I need.

My experience as a harmonice player is 10 years from now. I am an returned former member and bevore I had to take a break from BluesHarmonica.com I walked through the LOA and I loved it! Now, I don't know if I should get through it again or build my own schedule. I guess in case of my skills I just need to work on tongue blocking and bending on the main skills and add some other interessting techniques, like "high scale playing" etc.

What would you do? What are your experiece with building your own individual practice schedule?

 

Greetings

Rouven

Ask David directly...

You might ask David directly in the Ask David Barrett forum. He's the best one to answer this question.

My own take is to review what you worked on before to see where you might be a bit rusty, brush up any skills that might have deteriorated, then move forward through where you left off. All the areas of technique you mentione are essential.
