Hey there everybody, I just wanted to say you guys are seriously lucky to have such a great and selfless teacher as David Barrett. No one comes close to David's thoroughness in harmonica instruction, subjects and online web site format at bluesharmonica.com ! continue reading...

I recently amplified my A harp for the first time. Just messing around as I've only been playing about six months. When playing acoustic I listen carefully and hear no air. I know none is escaping around the harp. It is like the mic is picking up the sound of air going through the harp?

What up? Thanks Patrick

Wow these backing tracks are sweet!
Then hearing Gary Smith's ideas to accompany them!

What a great way to begin a new year of submissions!

Does anyone know if Garageband has the same capabilities as the Amazing Slow Downer? I have garageband and when I slow the tempo down it sounds like the pitch slows down as well, and some of my music won't slow town at all.

Your tone is smokin'. I like what you're doing on your instrumental. I really like the Big Walter licks.

Hello, im just starting and went through the beginning lessons.

The only harp I have is hohner 560/20 C special 20, these lessons are in other key harps.

I dont plan on buying other harps, so can I learn with the harp I have ?

thanks
Godbless

Would anybody know of a resource that describes, and ideally demonstrate audibly, the different blues rhythms and their various feels (e.g. shuffle, rhumba, flat-tire, boogie, slow blues, etc.)? Thanks in advance.

And not their solo stuff, just all their accompaniment with Muddy. Is there such a collection already? Sure would be nice if someone had the time and energy to put together such a collection (with personnel and liner notes, would be a dream come true). Anyone ever try to compile such a collection on their own. If so, what are the major cds, vinyl to get?

Congratulations to Ben for his success at the Rhumba King 'play off' and to Steve for making it (from the sounds of it) exciting!! I can hardly wait to watch and hear the videos of the event!!

Hi every 1 I hope everone is good after Sandy . I put in my best practice time when I didn't have power for 3 days. Nothing more to do.Some things I noticed when you have no power. What ever you studied will come back to you right off the top of your head. and some things you still have to look at. ( with a flashlight ) Not to often save battery life. it makes you remember . also if your not hearing a note just right. you practice until you get it RIGHT. bc what else can you do ( You have no electric ) continue reading...
