Hello David,

 

I am on a kind of crossroad and I need your guidance chosing the right way.

I am fairly new to the diatonic harmonica (started August last year) and I initialy started puckering, cos the first teacher I had is a pucker player. So naturaly he pointed me towards some excersizes to develop a faster jaw movement when moving up and down the instrument. continue reading...

Hi, 

 

What key do you think tony joe whites harmonica is in? I know nearly all of his songs are in E, but not sure what key harmonica he plays.

Is it common to have trouble on 9 draw cause I can get 9 blow but the draw doesn't come through or sounds weak. It isn't stuck I checked that first. What could I be doing wrong? I can go all the way up with no issue till I hit 9

Progressing through the lessons

Hey David, 

maybe this is a really dumb question but im a little confused as to how to progress throught the lessons. I think my confusing lies within the main study, prep study and support study. I dont really know what is the best way to progress through all of it.

 

With kind regards, 

Alex

Hiya,

 

I got the free lesson from buying my harmonica, and right in the first one, it says I need a different harmonica.

 

The question is, should I just move on and try some other lessons?

 

Thanks, and I really enjoyed the intro, the levels idea, and the fundamental idea.

 

Regards,

 

Bruce
