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?

Greetings All,

I've been practicing 45-60 minutes per day, most days and progress has been slow and somewhat discouraging. I've been doing the LOA (not for credit), Lessons and watching Hob Bosold and Sharon Barrett. Please share any practice routines that keep things interesting and allow some forward progress.

Thanks.

A very kind person who knows I'm learning harmonica, bought me a Seydel Lightning recently.   I've played with it a little and it feels and sounds great.   However, the 3 draw bends seem a little harder than I'm used to, and I'm really struggling to stop at the half step bend, although I can get lower than that.   It's in the key of 'D' and as I'm going through the LOA, I'm pretty much a 'key of A' guy at the moment.    continue reading...

Hi Dave, I joined back in 2017 and I've completed level 4 of the LOAs but haven't been a member since 02/2019. My question, how do i sign back up, (payments), and can I continue onto level 5 without repeating the previous levels? From the blues harmonica website I cannot find a way to start payments again? Thanks. Bob Bianchini rpb02864@gmail.com.
