I prepare my first recording setup for "Walk with me". I try to copy same sound quality from your original But someting is missing. I dont know why. I whould like to record with my new bullet mic shure 520 inside garage band. It is possible your recording is acoustic with another kind of microphone with some effect (reverb,delay)?

thank you

Good Morning David,

I notice that on the final vocal chorus at 3:23 there are three V IV I turnarounds, can this be employed for any accompaniament, or is it just unique to this study song.

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi David,

 I am working through the Level 4 material on Chorus forms. I am only through the AAA material but I've been wondering about how turnarounds fit into the Chorus concept. Are turnaround added on after the chorus form or perhaps omitted?  Or does the repeated phrase serve as the turnaround?   If you discuss this somewhere maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hey Dave. I've always observed that third position playing had a different sound quality or timbre (is that the word) than second position. It's not just the fact that "home" is on a different hole or that the three draw is a mystery there. 

I mean the sound quality is jazzier sounding. More like that of a saxophone perhaps. Very hard to describe. I was just wondering if there's some musical phenomenon going on there that I wasn't aware of. Thanks

Hi David

I would like to pick up a few Big Walter Horton albums. Could you recommend some must haves? 

I havnt come across an 'essential' collection like you see from some artists. It looks like he has recorded with lots of people and variants so I am not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

Andrew

Hej David.

Please tell me if open song in Loa4 is famous one Bye bye bird !? (Sonny Boy Williamson)

And it is only one way to get to that ...with completing the Loa 4 ?

I whant to start the LOA. If I start and complete a level but I need to unsubscribe for 1 or 2 mouths, I will keep my level status when I come back ?

when you you says "or" on grey note inside quick reference guide, I have to choose between examples ?

what kind of file name do you prefer for mp3 file? Name+example number+lesson or taging the file for itune etc..

thank you

Hi David, for some reason I'm running out of air right at the end of that first 8th note run in the first bar of chorus 3, I thought my nose might be open, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I am thoroughly enjoying the blues harmonica lessons so far, though I am relatively new.  I am having problems with the low draw notes on any of my three Hohner harps (C, A, D).  I can get soft draw notes on holes one or two only if puckering, but not with tongue block.  Any suggestions?

Hi David,

i just wanted to wish Hob a good recovery, hope all is well now
