Hello Dave,

Here is a question that does not let me sleep at night :)

On the Tremolo and vibrato lesson song.

How do you exactly approach that 5 vibrato on the first chorus?

Do you use mostly your vocal cords or a "ya-ya" or "ay-ay" type vibrato with your tongue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi David, please can you help me understand why in the Song "I Want You With Me" we are not playing #s for the I, IV and V cords. By my understanding, the cords for the Key of E are as follows: I = E G# B, IV = A C# E, V = B D# F# and we are playing G, C and D natural. Thanks. Ashley  

Dave when I ck out music people have done for a contest I cant hear them ?? any reason or just me and my computer ?

bon j'espere que vous allez comprendre ma question je suis un acharner de travaille a l'harmonica et la guitare et surtout le chicago blues donc ma question est la suivante je sais pas si vous pouvez y repondre ?? sinon se n'est pas grave !! comment je peu mettre en oeuvre et en aplication et surtout retenir tous se que j'apprend grace a vos cours pour pouvoir prendre mon harmonica et jouer librement  comme l'aire et aussi avez vous un retour de comment vous avez fait vous pour savoir jouer comme vous le fait merci David !! un fan !! 

Hi Dave,

I'm currently working my way through Improvising study 1 material. On your videos when you explain the homework assignments, am I supposed to submit it to you as I do them or simply submit the Level 4 test material when I feel ready to?

Also, is there a fee for each submission?

Many thanks

Saul

When I play Feelin' for the Blues, I usually add a lot of slaps. For the recorded homework, would you prefer us to stick to the written page?

bonjours David bon bas cela fait un gros mois que je suis sur ton site et prend tes cours avec plaisir et beaucoup d'ecoute et bas il y a deja du gros changement car comme je te l'avais dit j'ai pris 8 ans de cours chez moi en france avec un proffesseur confirmer jesaispas si tu le connais il s'apelle Jean Marc Henaux et il est endorser pas les harmonica hohner aussi lui !! continue reading...

I don't always hit the 5  draw slap cleanly; more like I hit it low and slide into it. I am sort of new to tongue blocking, started out with puckering. I am sure this will improve as I go along. I wonder if there are some specific execises that might be of benefit.

Chorus 6 of Temperature begins with a 5 draw slap and it would sure be nice to be able to hit that with some authority. This is holding me up some, as I hope to finish level 2 by the end of the year.
