I'm new here, I just wanted to start a lesson, but have actually only my new C-harmonica...are there exercices for beginners for the C-harmonica?

Thanks

I am new and I was doing lesson1 and having fun. I cked back and saw David mentioned that we should study tounge blocking and a bending lesson at the same time?? My question is where do I find a bending lesson that I can start working on ??

When first working on the study songs I struggled to confirm my rhythm and timing were correct. Then I discovered a method to check. I record my playing on my iPad with the jam track playing on my desktop computer. Then I would go back and listen to my recording on the iPad. However if I also played David's recording on the desktop while playing my recording on the iPad, syncing up the two I could listen for discrepancies. This would tell me the areas I needed to work on. It also verified my accuracy before submitting it. continue reading...

Hello all,

I thought I would have ago at a couple of the classics namely Walter's Boogie and Sad Hours.

I have David's tab from the news letter for Walter's Boogie, but am still looking for a tab for Sad hours.

Any suggestions or pointers greatfully recieved.

Thanks

Hi All

I've just subscribed to the LOA program today.

I have played the harmonica about 10 years or so ago for a few years, but hit a wall due to not having the Internet/SKYPE/YouTube's To work from. 

So ten years later and five years playing Jazz Tenor Banjo and I'm having another go at the Blues Harp. 

Anyway better get started with my practice ;-) 

thanks

I am from the New Hampshire seacoast and was wondering if their is anyone in my area that would be available for supplemental lessons.  I learn best person to person and I'm looking for tips on how I can improve what I am doing or If I'm actually doing something wrong.  Not looking for skyping. 

Thanks guys

Hello all,

     I've been learning harp using the pucker technique up until I started these lessons. I find that when I try tongue-blocking, my jaw and tongue tremble. Is this something wrong with my technique, or is it just a matter of developing strength in my jaw and tongue? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone out there know where you can find harp mic gaskets to fit a Shure CR element into a Turner 254 shell? HarpMicGaskets.com made great gaskets to fit this, but the owner was killed in a car accident and the site is shut down. I have a great element here and I don't want to Mickey Mouse something.  Help!
