Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi David: I've printed many pdf docs with no problem but No Sweat, the pdf for the first chromatic harp study, looks bizarre. What can I do to print it so it makes sense?  I'm not sure how to attach my PDF print out after I scan it back in, unless I pretend it's a submission to you.  Many thx,

I noticed in the background of Sharon's Lesson #4, the Laney Cub 2-12 extension cabinet under your Laney Cub 10. Are you using stock speakers in it or have you experimented with some replacement 12" speakers?

Hi David. I had a question about sending from the iPhone voice memo app. to myself, (email), I assume I'll have an .mp3 in my email. Can I then move that file somewhere else? What I'm asking is each time I email a voice memo recording to myself, the file resides in a separate email to me. Can I somehow submit my material to you all at once, or in separate emails, ie. one for the Study Song, one for everything else I record on another file such as the major scale and the solo harmonica patterns all on one, and then the .pdf for the theory part? continue reading...

"There is no extra cost to participate in the LOA program, though a small fee is charged when submitting your material for testing to cover the costs involved in the testing process."

HI David,

How much is the fee for submitting our materials?  Does the fee apply each time we sbumit material at each of the different levels?

Thanks

Hello Mr. Barret ,

Please let me know

I have 2 Special 20s in the key of A. The 8 draw draws freely on both. On one I can perform a throat tremolo on the 8 draw, and on the other one it chokes off the sound. 

What do you think is the cause?

Hi David,

I was wondering if the  technical level needed to play accuratly the artit study songs was related to the LOA which unlocked the songs.

I guess the answer is no since we can find some bends even in the first one for example. continue reading...
