General Discussion

Anyone going? I would like to meet up with any BH member, A great lineup: https://www.sandybeachescruises.com/lineup/ including Kim Wilson and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Text Gary at 720-525-9328

I'm sure this question gets asked all the time but I couldn't find a answer going through the site. I just got a C harmonica because that's where I thought I would need to start. I want to go through the LoA but it says I need an A key harmonica.

Hi,

I'd like to know if I can find tablatures on this website ? I just bought an harmonica crossover and get a free access in here.I'd like to practice a bit bends and overblows with blues and jazz. Would you have any advice for me of where I can find tabs ?

Thank you :-)

So I went to my first blues Jam session.  The music was varied, but some 12 bar blues.  I had no business being there, but regardless I want to be able to play accompanyment next time in 2 weeks.

Most tabs I find are really more solo and I want to play with the band at some level.  I working on level 3 if I could ever get that darn 3 draw bend down.  Always goes 1 1/2 step which isn't going to win any level 3 awards.  My goal is by the end of the year. continue reading...

Lingot 0.9.1 under linux, because of the spectral view. I love seing the frequency peak sliding in the right direction when I try to bend. It is also easy to spot the tone skip that might happen when the tongue doesn't follow the mouth cavaty. I have tried several others, this one has my preference.

What is yours ?

Im just getting started with Garage band for simple recordings.  I can get it record a track, but there is a metranome sound in the background.  Anyone know how to diable this?

I was wondering if anyone knows where I might find the tabs (or the musicscore)for Little Walters"Oh Baby". I am particularly interested in the opening lick. Its one I like and wanted to use a derivation for a LOA4 piece that I am thinking to use. Whilst the recording that I have listened to is not clear I think he is playing  2  2  3/4  5+  4 3 2  2. Whilst I have already decided how I might use this lick I would be interested in his rendition. It sounds like a C harp second position with a heavy byas for the notes of the I and IV chords. continue reading...

Id like to start to get my Riffs on paper.  Surely there has to be some software which would allow me to play a riff on a graphical piano keyboard and then have it transcribed onto a music staff (and paper).  

So I would like to see a keyboard on a screen (tablet for example), I play it in rhythem and the software represents it as notes on a musiscal staff.

Anyone know of such software.....  If not, perhaps I should develop it.

When a first tried to adjust the gap of the reeds I tried to reduce the gaps. What happenend then was an absence of sound when I was blowing a little hard.

Going to the Reed gaping videos, I learned that a larger gap was needed. It took me a few days to understand why. This is maybe common knowledge but since I don't recall having seen it somewhere I'll explain why here. continue reading...

Ok so these are the softwares that work on windows and you can use in place of Harpninja, Amazing Slowdowner and a metronome. All are free to use, so there you go!

1) Bendometer

http://www.harpsoft.com/install.html

It pops up a "Register" window every few seconds, when it pops up just press Ctrl+ Alt+ Delete --> Task Manager --> Application --> Right click on "Register Bendometer" --> Click "Minimize". You're good to go!
