Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi,

I am getting a bit confused with what is the content for LOA3. Or if I have missed a whole chunk somewhere in LOA2. I watched a few of the Joe Tartaglia videos and at Level 3 (or thereabouts) there is reference to Pulls and Gary's Blues which I haven't come across in the LOA material.   Have I missed a page or something?  Thanks.

Hi David,

In the 5th chorus, 3rd bar, there is a requirement for an octave split. Would I be correct in saying that this is achieved using a side flutter going between the 65 and 34.

Many Thanks,

Paul

Would that work to practice bending with?  For example, if I'm trying to bend 3 draw on a C harp down a whole step, will it recognize and display that it's hearing an A?

If that model wouldn't be good for that, can you recommend one that would work?

I know about harpninja and various apps, but a dedicated tuner of that type would meet my needs better for some circumstances.

Hey David,

I hope this belongs here, I wondered if you got some tips regarding transposition or finding the "right" harmonica key for certain harmonics/melodies that you like and wanna play on the harp. for example I listened to peter gunn theme yesterday and trascribed what I think are the correct pitches. now I understand that If I wanna play in key I gotta play the same pitches, so my question for you is how do you go about both;

I was ready to purchase harpninja for diatonic harmonica.  $19.99. then I saw a harpninja bundle $35.00. I'm not sure what the bundle is. Please explain and advise.

Hi Dave,

befor I signed in to learn online with you I studied with your really great book "Rock Harmonica". At this time TB was not familiar to me...(nearly 3 years ago I guess)... and I was practicing too heavy stuff. I love Butter Strut and Whammer Jammer - so: Can I find guided lessons to these songs on the website? 

Greetings
