Hi David,

I had the privilege of a 30 minute skype session with Steve Baker last night. Where he instructed me on how a jutted jaw approach to placing the harp helps tone.

I was amazed at the quality of such a simple suggestion. I wanted to ask you if you offer such sessions. Especially because if I were to take one of your lessons and played it out you may visually be able to say what I am doing wrong.

Also the other amazing discovery I made while I played a piece for him was he immediately pegged me as an intermediate level player. Not to say that I would abandon actually going through every lesson of the beginner level you have on your site because I am finding it very rewarding. Yet it's a little encouraging to be told that you are a bit better than you believe.

Also when I am asking these question please take into context my geography. There's no Yoshis here or any other such venue where I may chance upon harp players performing.

Regards
Sridhar

Glad you enjoyed your time with Steve, no doubt he is great. I do not offer Skype lessons. Simply put, if I do that I will not have any time to develop material for you at BluesHarmonica.com. It sounds like Steve will be a good resource for you.
