Hey Dave !

Can you tell me what you think is normal time for a harmonica player (not profesional but very entuziast...) to complet all 10 Levels of Achievement. M.

Hi David, when using the progression of notes for improvising, for example using holes 1 and 2, if we were using the chorus form Af Af At, would the fill notes also have to use holes 1 and 2. Love this style of improvising.

Thank you for your help,

Paul

Hello David,

I know this is not the right forum to ask this, but since this is where you will check more often I thought I'd ask here. Sorry if this is violating rules.

I love the electric guitar solo on the following song, it's short yet powerful and full of feelings for me. I am really interested in hearing a faithful harmonica cover of it, and being a Level 2 guy, I am far away from being able to play such solos. (I have not took part in the test program so my rating is not official, I have difficulties paying due to financial restrictions and stuff...). continue reading...

David Hi

Can you confirm that Blues creeping over me that, the lead in 3+  3 to the Solo 1.55 then the first two bars and the 3   3’  2- - - - are all one inhale or does the music provide for some quick air after the 4---

Only looking for clarification on that point. Thanks

PS 

OK just had another look and the music is continuous for the first two bars of the solo and then the 3 3’ 2 ---- so that is clear and no response required.

Thanks

Sir,

i have just started my harmonica lessons and from the beginning i am finding it difficult to control my tongue. It turns out to be difficult for me to lower my tongue. Honestly i have less or no control of my middle and back tongue. Kindly can you give me some insights into how to solve this problem, or share some techniques or exercises. It would  be very helpful.
