Hi David,

  Regarding determinig which key harp to use.  The lesson tends to focus on that if you choose the

key of the harp that you can choose to tell the band which key to play in so that you will be in the second postion.

For example: an exert from my notes on your lecture.... continue reading...

I still have a long way to go before LOA 4 is completed...but just so I know what to save

my money for......the 'earned bonus song ' is Sonny's Byrd  ?  Which harp would I

need for this.. a Low F or a Low Low F ?

               Thank you for your time

David:

I recently ordered a basic three string box guitar. I thought it would be fun to pick up some blues slide guitar on it while playing a harmonica in a rack. It would be great if there was a video here on rack playing. Did not know if yourself or one of the contributors could add some insight on proper rack playing or do a video.

Thanks

Brian

Good evening David,

Thanks,

Hi David,

In the middle of the fifth chorus of temperature, there is a 3-4 draw dip bend. I can get it using the pucker embouchure, but there is no way to get it in a tong blocking mode. Am I supposed to change from TB to pucker ? Do you have any hint to get a 3-4 draw dip bend correctly ?

Thanks

bod

Hello David, i can play the lick fine slowly, but when I try to build any speed, my tongue humps up and I start squeaking. Any help  would be greatly appreciate.

Hi David,

I am a complete novice and am struggling with the tongue bend, I find the blow is not great but ok however the draw is awful.

When I draw I just seem to choke on my tongue and block all the air, I wondered if you have a tips cheers.
