General Discussion

They call it blues ,  Every body is playing blues , improvising , The same scale they go up and down 

Man I can't stand blues , I just don't like it unless it comes in a meaning ful song with lyrics.

For a few min It might be interesting but after that the same up and down , the same thing.

Can you guys direct me to some blues that might change my idea?

OK 

This country tuning has one more extra notes on 5 hole draw and for some songs it makes it much easier

Every other thing is the same so why not just forget about Major and play country tuning ?

Is there any other thing that it has effect on? Does it make any more difference?

I'm wondering if folks know of any apps or sites that can remove the Harp from a song so you can play along with the song,

Custom Backing tracks can do this but they do not have a lot of blues harp songs.

https://www.lalal.ai can remove vocals and other instruments but they can't currentle remove harmonica.

Thanks, Doug

When I watch youtube I come accross some guys ( and it is not just harmonica )

who play songs with a lot of confidence and I see a lot of good comments down there but they play them so wrong.

So many notes are not correct and it seems they themselves are not aware either.

Is it because most harmonica players do not use music notes?

Where and when is the next SPAH convention?  I looked on there web page and could not find inforation about the next conference.  I"m not currently a SPAH member.

Also, what is the approximate cost of the convention for members?

THanks, Doug

Hello All,

I probably can't see the forest for the trees here.

I am looking for some "chugging" ideas; as in the "I am a man" lick-sort of thing, where the lick is played and then a "response" is made.

I would like to have a few of these ideas in mind so that I can use them for practicing when I am out and about with my harmonica in my pocket.

I don't have much of a repertoire of licks at this point, but it seems like a good way to acquire some. It is much appreciated.

You draw and draw but you need to go immediately to antoher note and that is also draw

so you have to get rid of extra breath but when you do this  you stop the music flow a little

I am trying to find out if there is a way to breath in and get rid of  some extra breath from nose similtanously 

Any idea , video tutorial or so?

OK , I hate Penta Harp with all my strength mind and soul LOL .

To save my money is there any way to tune it back to a normal harmoncia ?

Natural minor, Harmonic minor , Paddy or Major ?

I am a new aspiring player who has a special20, all of these lessons seem to be directed to a different instrument. Why would my. Complimentary lessons be for an instrument I don't have?
