Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hello David. 

Do you know if the danelectro  pb and j delay pedal is suitable for harmonica 

Thank you for your time

Hello David,

Your Rice Miller artist study is awesome thanks for your work! I rushed through watching the videos and heard the metronome in the background. Did you mention how many BPM you are using for the metronome? Sorry if I missed it? I just ordered  Hohner Low F so I want to give it a try? 

Thanks Sanshinboi

Hi Dave, 

How do I determine how fast or slow to tongue flutter please?

I'm mainly referring to 'Gary's Blues'.

Many thanks

Hi David,

Not sure i understand why the 3rd note in the V chord

in C harmonica is F# and not F ?

Where can i find it on the harmonica ? i dont believe its the half band for hole 5 

since it should not bring us new note 

for example in Harmonica in Key of A it also should be D# and not D ?

Thank you,

Hi Dave, 

Can I use a patch cable, the ones that connect effects pedals together,  as a jumper cable on the bassman or does it need to be an instrument cable?

My guess is that they are probably shielded like an instrument cable anyway but not sure. 

Many thanks

Hi Dave, I've been working on Sonny's Bird since completing L4 using the mp3 and sheet music provided. But I've noticed there seems to be a more comprehensive lesson you show for it in the LOA starting video. I can't find it anywhere on the site, how do I access that material? 

Kind regards,

Rob 

Hi, I'm trying to find the "working with a metronome" part of the lesson as you indicated on Solo harmonica playing.

Thanks.
