General Discussion

I am a decent purser.

What is the learning curve to switch to tougue blocking?

I have played around with it and I end up mostly frustrated.

Any suggestions on specific areas to go to to begin the journey!

Eminem-Purple Pills , At the end of the song 4;07 there's a nifty harmonica solo and i can find the tabs NoWhere..i'm pretty disapointed , so i want to know if you could give it a look or anybody who wants to do it , i think its a challenge regardless nobody have done it since then.

Hi Gang,

I'm a transit system busker in Vancouver, Canada.

People are always pointing cameras and phones and whatever at me. I just smile and play on, and hope that they tip. Most do. But, I rarely see any photos or footage.

A couple of months back, someone recorded me, and used my performance as a soundtrack for this video. I had no idea about this video until a ticket machine technician played it for me on his iPhone the other day. He spotted it on a forum somewhere. continue reading...

Hi, i just wanted to ask if anybody knows the musical notes or the numbers for the harmonica intro and solos of the song "Southbound Train" by Crosby and Nash. I looked for it everywhere but I couldn't find it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Hey Everyone; I'm new to the forum, though I've been playing harmonica since 1998, and I've only had one true lesson, with Joe Filisko at Olde Towne in Chicago!! Besides that, I had spent some time (a lot actually) backstage with BT, and John himself used to talk to me about things I should practice ("Triplets" was his first One Word Lesson), but other than that, I just get on stage when a local band allows, and to my blues records (mp3's nowadays). continue reading...

Anyone know by chance of some Blues clubs in Malmo, Sweden or Copenhagen, Denmark ?

Hey guys,

Any thoughts about alan wilson's sound? I really like his sound, especially on "on the road again", "boogie chillen n.2", "help me" and his "pulling hair blues". don't even have the right vocabulary to describe it but I would sure like to know what did he use and how did he manage to produce that cool (imo) sound.

Thanks

June 26th, 27th and 28th on our organic farm here in Dunnville, Ontario, three of North America's most talented players will be workshopping for two full days. Andrew Zajac will also be teaching us how to tune and tweak our harmonicas for maximum responsiveness and in tune playing. Meals included fresh out of our farm fields. $400 accommodation first come first serve. Some biletting available still.

If you have time and are willing to travel contact me at sharedharvestdunnville@gmail.com

I have been practicing draw bending for a little while now, and experiencing a lot of frustration.  I learned to make all of the draw bends, but controling them has been a real issue.  Recently, I started fooling with the 'Beatles' song 'And, I love her'.  The tab that I used went up for the phrase, 'And, I love her'.  It sounded very wrong to me.  So, I trasnscribed it to the lower register.  What I found was that I needed a full-step, 3 hole, draw bend to play the phrase.  continue reading...
