Hello David,

 

Long time musician re-cooping from hand surgery by learning harmonica. Can you explain what the "+" in the tab mean (Lesson 1, Ex1.1)?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

Hello Bill. That's an indication to blow. No indication is a draw. Take a look at "Support Material" in that lesson and you'll see a link to a PDF titled "Harmonica Notation Key PDF," download that for notation reference.

Make sure that you start your lessons with Blues Harmonica Fundamentals (http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/blues_harmonica_fundamentals). Here is a quick reference of the order of lessons http://www.bluesharmonica.com/sites/bluesharmonica.com/files/private/loa...

Best wishes on your studies and recuperation.
