''FROM YOUR WEB SITE'' I want to download some jam tracks to a CD so I can play my E and Low F harps.

I like your MP3's you have in 'beginning lessons' materials but find none in B flat or C. I searched some Forums for "Jam Track' and no luck. Also Animoto uses only (*.MP3) file extensions and when I make videos I must have them as .MP3's.
Also is there a one stop shop in your web site where all the jam tracks ( or all MP3's of all sorts) are stored for easy retrieval as it took me a long time to find stuff like Gary's Blues because it was in an earlier lesson but I had to go one by one to find it. I suppose I could go to the internet and find some or to places you have suggested in other Forum answers but that is not nearly a easy...[oh poor me...]
PS: I do like the way you identify the key in "Improvising Studies'' with a [E] for example in the title of the jam track. keep it up please, big help.

"Blues for Paul deLay" in Tongue Blocking Study 5 is in the key of C. I have no jam track for the key of Bb. There is no list of jam tracks on the site... the purpose of the jam tracks are to support the study songs, not really to provide a whole bunch of jam tracks. Below is a list of jam tracks you would be benefited by having...

Dennis Gruenling has a bunch

Dennis Gruenling has a bunch for sale on his site: badassharmonica.com.

You can also take Jam Trax from David's CD's or this site and use The Amazing Slow Downer to change the key and speed and slow it up once you find the groove you want. Look under Equipment for lessons on how to do this.

That's what I've been doing for the "noodling" portion of my practice time.

Thank you David and Taylor,

Hey Men,
Wow! Thank you both very much.
1. I now see how Forum 'Ask the Instructor David Barrett' works.
2. I got both your answers to give me lots of good places to help me learn. At my age the internet is just too darn big to find what I NEED.
3. You reinforced my belief that this site and all the fine people associated with it are here to help me/us.
4. I appreciate being emotionally boosted to practice, practice, practice to get as good as I can be.
Respectfully, JimmyBB
