Hi David, I'm pretty sure I'm not going crazy, but i can't find one of your videos explaining in detail the I-V-IV chord; what it means and how to use it. I could swear I saw it in the Solo Harmonica 12 bar blues Lesson, but I went back to watch it again and can't find it! Is it under the Theory Lessons? If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, What action is played boogie woogie? + tongue blocking. I got lost in school. Thanks

Hi Dave

Is there a place in your lessons/interviews where you discuss the side to side "trill" tonguing technique(as opposed to Big Walter off and on) that LW and Kim Wilson do?

Hello, I can now play all the different sections for level 2 and I want to start recording myself to see where I need to improve and work on.  I just had one quick question about the accompaniment section.  I really enjoy this song so i will probably play around and record the whole thing. For the level 2 test submission is it only ex 1.12?

Thank you. 

Have a great weekend.

Hi David,

I have been on the site for 4 or 5 months now and I've learned much. With regard to draw bends I find I can easily bend all the drae notes but there is a problem. It seems that I can only get the bends down to within a half step of their full range. This is especially problematic on the 2 and 3 draw. I have yet to get the 5 draw to ben at all.

I use special 20 and marine band for practice.  Is the problem with me or could it be because the factory specs are not as tight as they should be for proper bending?

Thank You for your advice.
