Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi David,

I am BRAND NEW to the Harmonica, and music in general (To the point where I did not know what a key was, until a few weeks ago). The last time I took a music class was in elementary school. So again, this is all brand new to me. I have always been drawn to, and intruiged by the Harmonica. I am eager to learn, so one day I can teach my kids.  continue reading...

I know in one of the videos it is recommended to have a Low F,G,A,Bflat,C,and D.

My question is at what lesson and what key comes next and is there a list of all 6 keys and at what lesson they are needed. 

I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and purchase a 7 set. And finally if I do go ahead and purchase a set of 7 what key should I get for the 7th one.  continue reading...

Hiya David, so I've been practicing temperature for my level 2 and I have questions haha. continue reading...

David Barrett and or Greg Heumann:

Just curious....

Does BluesHarmonica have plans to veview the sE/HOHNER Harp Blaster HB52 microphone?

The HB52 has generated interest in some of the harp groups, but I have not seen an unbiased review of how it stands up against other harp mics.

Hi David:

I'm putting work in on Imp. study 3. I sped up the jam track I was using a bit to add a little more excitement to the instrumental. I also have some ideas for choruses I would like to replace. Is it ok that I do some rewriting, or would you prefer I keep it the same for consistency sake? I will still use all the different chorus forms and different focus notes, just have better ideas as I'm improving. Thank you for your time.

Erik

hello

I am a beginner and I just have bought a hohner special 20 C and now I realize that your lessons are with an harmonic in G.

are there lessons with the harmonic I bought in C?

thank you very much and congratulations for all the information you give.

Nevermind.....I found the MP3.  I was looking in the wrong spot....sorry!  I tried to delete this question but I don't think I could do that.  Feel free, obviously, to delete this thread.

David,

One of the songs I'm working on is, "I want you with me."  I see the MP3 for that with no harp but I can't find the MP3 with you playing along.  Your model is super helpful for me in addition to playing myself on my own.  

It's seems like there may be songs other songs missing the version with you playing with them too.

Thanks, Doug

Hello David,

would it be possible to get playalongs for the

It Takes Three-CD? I have the tabs and it made me

a better player after a few weeks, studying the pros!

Now I'm playing along with the CD but it would be better

and cooler to have a real playback.

Greetings Tommy

Hi David,

do you have any lessons on your site specifically in the style of Sonny Terry, and/or Country Blues?

I'm very much enjoying my studies so far, thank you for all your material!
