Hi All,

The blues songs I've come across in David's course are all in 4/4 time which is easy in terms of which foot to tap (left foot on beats 1 & 3, right foot on beats 2 & 4). I'm also learning non-blues stuff such as the harmonica part to Piano Man by Billy Joel. The thing is that foot-tapping isn't so straightforward with 3/4 time: the beat in each alternate bar is on a different foot (I hope I'm clear so far). Has anyone mastered keeping time using foot-tapping for 3/4 time and if so, how? continue reading...

Hi All, I am about to have an cateract removed from my eye, has anyone had experience of this and how quickly can you get back into playing. Was reading an article by a sax playing eye surgon, he said about 2 week before playing sax but harps arnt blown as hard as sax's, are they ? TIA

I asked David for help on this issue and thought it might be a good idea to make a post here as well:

I have been stuck in Level 4 for quite awhile now. I have progressed with Gary's Blues to the point of trying to play along with the jam track, but I am having a lot of trouble knowing where I am in the progession, which, of course, makes it hard to play the choruses. continue reading...

I know this is kind of broad and off topic since this is a blues site but any advice would be appreaciated. continue reading...

Hi Fellow Harpsters, I am practicing Walk With Me.  I take it the whole song is meant to be tongue blocked ?  I struggle with the move from three hole to four hole with tongue block.  I can play the whole song reasonably well with single note pursed lips.  Just keep moving from three to four and back  with toungue block until it is smooth transition ?  thank you, Kevin

Im trying to finish up solo study 2 but I am always running out of breath. I exhale all I can before starting and the farthest I ever got was to the last three 1 draws which I had to use my cheeks to suck in and unavoidably bent the notes. Any tips?
