Ask Instructor David Barrett

Notice there are downloads available on Amazon. Interested in the CD version. If there are any available hoping you can put them up for sale at the 2014 Masterclass in San Jose.

I'm new to the site but familiar with the books. Haven't yet seen an example of my question in the site but Ex. 3.7 A in Exploring 2nd Position will work. The second beat in the first bar is a slapped 5 draw followed by a pull. The pull is tabbed as 1234 draw. Given I'm tongue blocking the 5 draw would the pull not include the 5 draw or is there a reason why the 5 draw is not shown as being played? My guess would have been there's no expectation to move or change the embouchure so I'm not sure how 5 draw could be avoided?

Hello, would it be fine if I'd submit a solo harmonica study in a different key, like C?

In the Solo Harmonica test section, is it choose one of the exercises mentioned or all of the 1.x and a choice of 2.3 or 2.4?? If mentioned somewhere else, my apologies.

When are we going to have a new interviewee. Kim Wilson's pic has been up for so long I feel like I'm related to him.

Hungry for New Interviewees.

Hey David, Seems I use to get a news letter and it always had great stuff in it but I just realized I haven't seen it in awhile can you shed some lght on that. I assume it's still around do I need to subscribe I don't know what I did to get in in the first place. Thanks!

Ok, so we know Little Walter liked to use fake octaves in his chromatic playing, but what about fake octaves on the diatonic? I notice a few instances where William Clarke does this, probably the best know to students would be the last fill of the William Clarke artist study (2/4 draw). When are these appropriate and which hole combos work?

Just curious.
