Ask Instructor David Barrett

David,

       I'm  a little confused on what you are looking for regarding the LOA4 accompaniment playing test material. If I study and can play "I want you with me" version 2 study song, will this meet the requirements? 

Hi David,

after having signed up for your site I'm real excited about the immense amount and quality of your teaching material.

I'm self-taught so far (with the exception of a few one to one online lessons) using the pucker-method. I understand your concept and agree upon learning to tongue-block from the very start to not overcomplicate things later when one wants to extend his or her sound pallet. The thing is I have very little time as I play other instruments which need my dedication aswell. continue reading...

Hi David,

Where can we find this jam track?

Thanks,

Hugh

Hello,

I would like to play 12 bar blues with my guitar and harmonica. If I am playing 12 bar blues in key of A with guitar(notes A,D and E) which notes/chords should I be playing with my harmonica? I didn't completely understand this from accompaniment study 3 -lesson, but are notes D, G and A right? And are chords formed with three notes next to root note? For example D chords would be 1,2,3 blow and G would be 5,6,7 draw?

Thank you in advance

Hi David,

I am new to Harmonica. Just do not know anything about that, and the link "Blues Harmonica Fundamentals" is not opening at my end and not even able to download it.

Please guide me from where I should start?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I am getting a bit confused with what is the content for LOA3. Or if I have missed a whole chunk somewhere in LOA2. I watched a few of the Joe Tartaglia videos and at Level 3 (or thereabouts) there is reference to Pulls and Gary's Blues which I haven't come across in the LOA material.   Have I missed a page or something?  Thanks.

Hi David,

In the 5th chorus, 3rd bar, there is a requirement for an octave split. Would I be correct in saying that this is achieved using a side flutter going between the 65 and 34.

Many Thanks,

Paul
