Ask Instructor David Barrett

David, thank you for putting together what appears to be a really great online hormonica blues school.  I evaluated several online schools before landing here, and yours is more than just blowing some licks and calling it playing.  I learned more from one of your free evaluation courses than I did 4 week at another online school.  You're really detailed (almost overwelming.) Thanks for adding Music Therory in to the leassons.  This has really helped a lot in understanding why my engineering mind can't grasp the concept of the mathmatical inconsistancies of music. &n continue reading...

Hi David,

I thought that it was enough to study well the technique.

But when I begen to use a metronome I realized that it was very difficult for me.

I hate a metronome :-)

How can I learn to use a metronome? Could you possibly give me some recomendation, please?

When articulating during the cording exercise are you maintaining the tongue block embouchure or are you in a puckering embouchure?

I find it difficult to say Tata and tootoo without my lips and a pucker embouchure. If you're puckering on the cord do you maintain the pucker or do you move to a tongue block, emboucher for the single notes?

Thanks

Hi David,

Audacity

Ive downloaded audicity and completed everything as per instruction on this site. The problem is, when i start to record over the jam track, the recording doesnt start until after the jam trak has finished. Have you any ideas please

Improvisation

Absolutly loving the site. The one thing that I would like to excel at is the improvisation. Would this be a case of picking out all my favourite licks, fills and V, IV I's or do you any other ways to get better at this which I should follow.

Thankyou, continue reading...

In level of achievement 1 in the song ,"Walk With Me" the three blow is quite often, this is giving me such a hard time because I am used to using the 2 draw instead of the 3 blow especially when resolving.

Question; for submitting a recording for the test can I use the 2 draw or must I use the three blow?

Thank you

Tom

Hi David

Sorry, this is a very basic question! What do the Roman numerals I, IV, V etc signify? I think I heard you mention it in one of the videos but now I can't find it.

As a second point, about forums, is there any way to search for questions asked in previous topics?

Many thanks

Simon
