Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi David,

I've been working on LOA 4 and I am about 80% through the material. Meaning I feel I am ready to have that material evaluated. I have the accompaniment and improvisation / chorus forms material left.  I feel that may take a while and I'd like to get feedback on the other material before the very end.  continue reading...

Hi David - sorry to bother you with this; I have sent two help requests via the web "contact us" feature but have not had an answer. continue reading...

Hello sir,

I recent but hohner Diatonic C Harmonica and i am beginner and apply for 30 days free lesson on your site too.

But from where to start, i confused.

please guide me, sir.

Thanks in advance.

Hi David,

Would you mind providing the Chorus Forms to Walkers Shuffle. I'm trying to analyse this instrumental to help me with my improvising/instrumentals, but am finding it difficult to do so.

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi David, I am trying to settle on a track for the Improvising Study 1 - Songwriting.

Going through the ultimate jam tracks I found I quite like the west coast swing in D. However I see you have used this for cool blue (chromatic study #2) and it is not a standard 12 bar blues (ii-V-I?). Is it OK to use or would I be better served staying with standard 12 bar V-IV-I track.

I certainly don't want to make this hard for myself as my improvising leaves alot to be desired!

Thanks

Gnat

Greetings David,

I was just wondering. Are all your private lessons of the "in person" variety or do you give lessons over skype?

i know there are artist studies at e end if each level, but it would also be cool to have  section for further studies that lists some other artists and songs to study in our own that goes along with the material in each section. Just a thought 

thanks

David,

I've been on your site for about 6 months and I continue to learn much. Thank You.

I have followed all your advice with regard to draw bends and I find that I can bend with little effort. The problem is that I cannot get my bends as low as you do in the lessons. Obviously I use you as my benchmark.

Tue I've only been at it for 6 months but I've been working it hard. You make it look so effortless. How long did it take you to be able to reach the full depth and range of your draw bends?

Thanks and regards,
