Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi Dave,

What's the best way to work through level 3 material please?

Do I simply work my way down the list starting with the study song, then solo harmonica study 2, accompaniment playing etc. or should I do a bit of each with my daily practice/study?

Thanks

Saul

My device is Key C is this a problem using the excersises on the site. I am 75 years old and having a blast trying to learn the Harminica. Takes the edge off Lockdown.

Thank you Tom

Hi David,

I can’t find the link for improvising study number 1

Please assist ?

Also on a different topic I tried many brands of harmonica, the top class ones like Seydel 1847, crossover, rocket and others 

but I am only feel comfortable with the SP20

as a beginner + thinking a head is this a mistake not to try to make myself used to other brands

Thank you, continue reading...

Hello David,

Practicing for around a couple of weeks the bends I managed to get a pretty decent 6 draw and finally realized what you mean by sweet spot. Since I was a member of the "2 draw trouble club" but now I have more control, I tried to place the tongue as if I was emulating my old "problem" and it gave me kind of a bend, at least something to start with. Do you think this approach is a valid technique to find the sweet spot on the 2 draw? 

Thanks!

Hello Dave,

Is it ok to be flat on the -4' and -2'' in second posiiton or any other poriiton or should I always aim for the bulls eye?

Thanks in advance!

I just submitted LOA3 files for your review.  The study song is recorded in stereo and the exercises are in mono.  I'm assuming it does not matter to you what we use?

I am reviewing the lessons in Level 3.  In the Accompaniment Playing section when you start in Sect 2 (ex 2.1)  You are playing over the jam track "I Want You With Me (shuffle in E)"    I can not find that jam track.  The song in this section is "Blues Creepin' Over Me.  Where do I find jam tracks for "I Want You With me?"     Thank you
