Hi David,

Can you describe how you close your throat for the throat tremolo?  I can make a coughing sound on the blow, but I think I'm just sending small, fast bursts of air with my cheeks.

Thanks.

Am unable to find Jimmy Lee's Groove Tracks, mentioned in the Jimmy Reed study, any ideas?

I have the Laney 10 and B52 mic and am curious about your tone on LOA lessons. Your horn tone is fantastic, will upgrading the Laney tubes help, or is it your skills that make the difference?

Dave, you mention "harpminger" to help with determing if you are playing the right notes. When can you get this from as I tried to google but no joy. I am possiby spelling incorrect.

hi david

would you have an email adress for john shirley?

or perhaps you could give him mine?

thanks

hi david

when using a pa/mixer instead of an amp

when you set the gain knob, setting aside the general differences of bullet and hi z dynamics

  how do you approach the gain setting?

                   unity,more,less?

this would usually be in live clubs

would there be any difference in the studio?

thanks

tommy

Hi David

when I am playing holes 1, 2,  and 3 single notes tongue blocking I move the harmonica at a different angle to my mouth.  My gut feeling is this is probably a bad habit?

no need for your help as I have found the instructions at BLUESHARMONICA. I am learning that most if not all elementary issues are addressed. Thank you and sorry for the confusion.
