I'm having trouble with controlling the the +10" Bb note on the harmonica. I want to get better at scaling all across the harmonica, but I'm having trouble with consistency. What is a good technique as far as tongue placement to help me control that overblow? 

I'm a beginner who just started learning the fundamental. Is it ok to use the Hohner special 20, which is a C harmonica? The lessons are in key A so they sound different and I don't know if I'm playing the right notes

Eu só tenho a harmônica diatônica C. Como posso acompanhar as aulas?

Hi David,

I am left handed, average size hands, and prefer to hold the harp with my right hand and use my left to do wah wahs. Any tips or ideas on how I can best do this?

Hey David, 

I’m currently working on Tongue Blocking Study #3: flutters and pulls. Section 4 is supposed to explain chorus forms but I don’t see a video explaining chorus forms. Section 5 has a video with examples of chorus forms  but there doesn’t seem to be an explanation of them for section 4. I might just be overlooking something but is there a video giving an in depth explanation of the forms?

Thanks, 

Andrew
