Ask Instructor David Barrett

Dave,
I just got back from my "vacation" and found the website totally changed.... in every way.
I see now the lessons use a metronome.
Where do I start? The changes are all for the better...but now I feel I should start all over..because my rythym was not at all reliable.
What to do?

Are those pulls in Ex. 1.7 in the V and IV? And didn't we have a lesson or two on pulls on the site at one time? I can't find anything. If those are pulls, I need some additional instruction.

David,

This topic complete my email. We can't reply but we can create a new topic.

Best,

Eddy

The version of "Lonesome Bedroom Blues" in your artist studys is in the key of "G" on "C" harp is it possible that he played it in a different key on another CD, I'm very weak in this area so I'm somewhat insecure in my ability to tell the difference but on the cd "Blowin like Hell" it seems like it's in "F" on a "Bb" harp, Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Hi David
Is the transcription for Little Walter's Rocker still available?
regards
Andy

David would the 12 hole harp give me the notes needed to play your lessons 1-10. You have to bend the notes to get the keys missing on the 10 hole , I practice bending but it is not coming to me so wouldn't 12 be better than ten..........Ed

Hi David,

I am having trouble trying to make the staccato notes sound different than regular notes. Are there any tips you could provide in the way of articulation or whatnot?

Hi,

On the intro of Lonesome Train (Lynwood Slim/Junior Watson LONG OVERDUE CD).

Is there a 2nd harmonica (double tracked) eg at the 5 second mark and again at about 6 secs?

Thanks Terry
