Ask Instructor David Barrett

David,

I see you recommend the Fender Champion 20 as a good starter blues harp amp.  Someone in my area is selling a Fender Champion 110 PR 225. Is this as good as a Fender Champion 20.  Would this be good for Blues Harp with my new Hohner Harp Blaster.

He's selling the amp used for $75.

Thank you, Doug

Hello David. When I first start to practice "Walk With Me" the 3 draw sounds good. But after a few minutes of practice I can't get a sound out of it. I'm keeping the back of my young down and the rest of the draws sound good. 

Hi David,

LOA 6, Accompaniment Playing Study 6 says to play Examples 1.2 and 1.6 to the provided jam track (Used to Be My Baby). Should I use full track for each excercises or playing couple of choruses would be enough? Could I combine two excercises to single track? Not sure if I undersood that task properly. Please clarify.

Thank you in advance.

Hi David,

I live in UAE, where I don't think I can have the TBT delivered to.

Can you please share a 3d blueprint to have it made locally?

Cheers,

Eugene.

I bought a Harp Blaster Mic and am curious if this cable will work well for it....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DZCGWKZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_...

Should the cable be "balanced" or "unbalanced?"

The cable is descibed as 

TISINO Female XLR to 1/4 (6.35mm) TS Mono Jack Unbalanced Microphone Cable Mic Cord for Dynamic Microphone

Hi David,

I'd just like to join Renato in wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

No question.  Just wanted to say hello and thanks and also let you know that Luke from Harmonica.com sent me to you.  I started last year and found myself probably as many do lost in a wilderness of what next after learning some puckering, but not feeling like I could get the blues in the way I wanted. 

Glad to have found this site.  It feels as if I am on a long journey but it's fun!

Thanks!

Eric
