Hey Folks,

Just want to wish everyone the very best of luck with the creations. Can't wait to hear what you all come up with.

Best regards,

I get customers that want to know what keys they should have in their kit. A lot depends on what type of music you're going to play but I'm assuming that everyone on this forum likes the blues. The drop dead basic harps your should have are the G • A • Bb • C • D. After that for fun you could add an Ab • F • LF • LD • LC. I like the LC for playing Sonny Boy's "Bye Bye Bird" What are you're thoughts on this topic?

There's a lot of jam tracks available but my favorite right now is Jimi Lee's "Mandatory Tracks".

Almost like a confessional - need this to feel it's behind me. Yesterday's jam session ........... continue reading...

Is it just me, or has anyone else been thrown into a sweaty panic by the competition? It's ridiculous: every time I think about it I come over all husky and brave and hear a voice - possibly David's - telling me I'm somehow letting myself (and others) down if I don't come up with something in time. That leads to a couple of despairing hours of chugging, where I come up with an idea, reject it, come up with another one, reject that ... and on and on. Just can't seem to find many solo harp instrumentals for inspiration - can anyone list any I can listen to? I need ideas!

Just watched the latest news vid and I have to comment on Dave's commitment to the cause. I know he's on commission from all the subs here but I sometimes have to slap myself as to how good this instructional site is! My playing is coming along in leaps and bounds and I just want to give a MASSIVE heads up to Dave and everyone involved in bluesharmonica.com. Thanks again guys and long may this truly fantastic site continue!

> Hi David
> I am having difficulty learning the middle and ends of songs. I would like to suggest an improvement, that would greatly help me and other players.
> If a song has 7 choruses. Then I usually learn the first three great, using the MP3 tracks but the rest are difficult because I have to listen through the first tracks that I already know again. So here is what I suggest if a song has 7 choruses, then make 7 separate MP3 elements e.g. chorus1, chorus2 etc. continue reading...

Hi - I been learning Cut You Loose from my CD of Filisko & Noden live which I really like. I'd like to try and play it with someone but unsure how to describe what feel or groove it would be -can anyone help. Thanks
