Does anyone here hold the harmonica the way filisko describes in his Harmonica Insights Videos? I find it very ergonomic, and it solves the problem I have on the discomfort caused by the uneveness of my shoulders when holding the harp. The problem I have with his method, is that he says the left index finder and thumb should always be connected to the face when sliding up and down the harp. I find it impossible to connect my left thumb and index with my face when sliding up and down and his video doesn't show him doing and how it works in a clear manner. continue reading...

Does anyone have the harp tabs for "Rock You Up" by

The Romantics?

Thanks

I exclusively use PowerBender, and really love it. The best way I can describe it is a Richter in the bottom third, a PowerChromatic in the Middle, and a sort of Pentatonic Scale at the upper end. A couple of my favorite qualities is that there is no change of breath pattern and that all holes have draw bends. I kind of see it as being Richter like, but more intuitive to wrap my head around. continue reading...

Going through the interviews, I notice some folks who play the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd postion, have never explored the 4th, 5th or 12th positions. Andy Just, for example, says he uses the 2nd and 3rd position often, but has never explored the 5th or 12th positions. 

That makes no sense to me. Isn't the 1st position the same as the 4th, the 2nd same as the 5th and 3rd same as the 12th?

For example, on an G harp:

1st G Maj = 4th E Min 

2nd D Maj = 5th B Min

3rd A Min = 12th C Maj continue reading...

Hello,

I'm wondering which accompaniment approach from study 1 would be best suited to fill in where the verses are

in Little Walters, "Just Your Fool"  ?...

thanks,

I was tabbing out ' Dark end of the street ' - the Commitments version,

with my  ' G ' Harp.  In the last verse, there is a key change.....any one have a

though as to what that key change is ?  Not sure which other harp to

to use ?

                    Thanks

Why in the song Temperature which is played in the key of E start with B. wouldn't the I chord (i.e. first scale degree) be E?

Hey everybody,

For those of you who do not know, there is a community of harmonica players connecting through the website Reddit. There's some pretty solid tips, advice, and players there.
