Hi. It's probably right in front of my face but where do I find the unlocked material after passing a Level? I did find the first one but now I am not sure where I found it. Thanks very much.

Hello,

I've been practicing the very first lessons in the site and I'm really thankfull for all the explanations and tips.

 

Though, when practicing on the very beginning - playing single note, sometims it works well when I blow but the note doesn't really works when I draw.

 

What could be the problem?

 

Thanks,

Michal

Hi David

I sincerely hope it will be possible to purchase the backing tracks for what seems to be a great album.

Favourite Licks

Hi David,

What I'm about to ask may not be possible due to copyrite laws, but is there a way of copying and pasting my favourite licks from your study songs onto blank pages so that I may use for my improvisation.

Many Thanks,

Paul

Accompaniament level 5

Hi David,

This is a two part question :

  1. With regard to hole 9, in order to obtain the F sharp for the V chord you need to do a blow bend, but I dont know how to perform these yet. So for the V chord could I perform an 8 draw giving a D.
  2. On some of the holes you could perform transitions between some of the chords, is this a requirement or should I just keep it simple for know.

Thank you for your help,

Kind Regards,

Paul

with what videos or documents should I start my classes?

Bending

David .. I am just starting LOA 1 and have finished watching Bending Study 1 and it was immensely helpful. It was helpful in not only the explanation of the positions of the tongue and the 'shh', 'kee' and 'koo' sounds but when you actually produced the sounds on the 6 draw. Would it be possible to do the same study for each bendable hole...listening to you actually produce the desired sound helped me tremendously.  continue reading...
