counting rhythms in shuffle grooves

Hi David,

Apologies for coming back to you so quickly after my last question, but I have a question the answer to which I've never seen or heard in years of reading shuffle-rhythm standard notation transcripts (which, aside from yours, have been for, variously, guitar, bass and keyboards). I've not seen this addressed by even great jazz educators such as Jerry Coker and Jamey Aebersold, but I might just have missed where they addressed it. continue reading...

David....I love your site.  You are such a GREAT teacher.

I just got a Pentaharp and am having a blast with it.  Would you be willing to add more PentaHarp content in addition to what you have on your site.  I would love instruction in soloing on the PentaHarp? (blues and maybe even rock or bluegrass if you'd be interested). 

Also, I would love more songs with the PentaHarp.

Content like your Complete Chicago Blues Harp book and audio would be AWESOME with the PentaHarp too. continue reading...

Hi David,

Once again, I'd like to set out a couple of ideas and ask where you are on them.

Your BluesHarmonica site is a great example of a step-by-step learning method in which someone can start from scratch and ultimately attain the highest level of proficiency in a subject, in this case blues harmonica. Just a fact. continue reading...

Hi David, I have friends which would like to play blues on guitar with me. Unfortunately, they don't know how to do that yet. They are learning random things, and in majority of cases it is not blues. They are not developing understanding of the blues and everything else what you are teaching here. I have 2 questions: continue reading...
