General Discussion

I can't see to find the Study Guide 1.2 Tongue Block PDF? May I have a link? Thanks!

Sorry if this is an idiotic question, newbie here (new to the site, not new to the instrument). I had done a free month on the site about a year ago and remember seeing and working with an Artist Studies section. I can't find it now. Does material rotate through the site or once it's up, does it remain on the site?

Thanks for any feedback.

Just found this on youtube,

I have just been to a harmonica workshop from Lee Oskar where he discussed his alternatively tuned harps.

Has anyone tried these? Any thoughts? I am looking at trying the natural minor one to plays some minor blues.

Hi...After playing for a while the square edges of the SP 20's seem to hurt the left corner of my mouth. Anyone have this experience? I was looking at a harp with rounded edges (Golden Melody) and wondering if this would be a good fix, or do you just develop calluses after a while, like a guitar player's fingers? Thanks...Fran

Is it normal for a newbie to get winded when practicing or playing a song? The reason I am asking is that I am not sure where to breathe and the draws and blows don't seem to be deep enough. Even practicing the one note embouchure makes me feel like I am sucking air after.

Recently I saw Sugar Blue playing. I was impressed by the fast riffs he plays. In fact if i listen to some of Sugar Blue CDs, he is using quite often the same riffs. I checked youtube but I could find only Hakan Ehn explaining a bit. Does someone know where I can find some more material about Sugar Blue style?

Hi

Are any members attending euroblues 2013 with joe filisko and mark graham?
Look forward to seeing anyone who can make it

is this possible/people finding it difficult? i can bend pretty accurately with my tongue on the harp, and even bend a second after the chord is sounded..but i'm having trouble slapping the bend note..is it my throat muscles arent strong enough yet and just practice more?

thanks again.
