Hello, all. Try as I might, I really have not been able to correctly ID key signatures. This is impeding my playing a bit as I find I must rely on formal backing tracks that state the key signature in the title. I came accross this site and it seems pretty accutrate. I dropped several songs into it including backing tracks for which I knew the key in advance and it hasn't failed in any of these. Do you guys have any thoughts or opinions on this?

Also, given that it seems to be free I wonder what their angle is.

Does anyone know if there is a songbook available for low c harmonicas? Specifically, I just got a Marine Band 364 and, aside from Bye Bye Bird whose tabs are available on the internet, is there a songbook available for this?

Hi,

I just bought Harmonica last week and since du, I can play single note, today I signed up in this website and started with:

Step 1

• Blues Harmonica Fundamentals

  This is where you learn the basics of playing the blues harmonica.

I don't understand how is that for beginners? It looks so complicated. I hope someone you guys can help me find the right course for my level in this website.

best regards.

Hello Everybody!

First of all I'd like to thank David for the amazing work he has done and the method he uses because I am not just learning so fast but enjoying every class I am taking.

My question is related to the lesson "Dynamics". When I try to control the volume it seems to me very hard to mantain the breath for a long time. and not only that but when I start from loud to soft seems impossible to me to make a plane/constant breath while I am decreasing the sound, and so not being able to avoid doing a kind of "tremolo" with diaphragm. continue reading...

Hi All,

Thanks.

Denis Gruenling has backing tracks on his web site badassharmonica.com  by the Nick Moss band , killer tracks all in the key of E.

I think the Gods are trying to keep me from playing harmonica.

My doctor informed me I am going to have to have surgery on my neck where they fuse some of the vertebrae together.   I’m concerned as to how this might affect playing the harmonica.   Since I’m not very experienced I don’t know what to expect.

Have any of you all had this type of surgery and did it affect your playing?

Hi All,

Has anyone built themselves a sound inhibiting room, or modified an existing room so as not to annoy the rest of the house and or neighbours?

Hi folks. I get tired of using Garage Band on my Iphone for a keyboard, to look at keys when studying music theory etc. I'm currently on Dave's Music Theory Study 2. Does anyone recommend a 25 key MIDI Controller in lieu of a big and costly full size keyboard?
