Here are the items I suggest you have in your practice room to be successful. For more information, visit my videos on this subject in the new Blues Harmonica Fundamentals lesson on the site.

1) Comfortable Chair

2) Music Stand - Manhasset music stands are the industry standard

3) Device to slow down and loop music you’re working on - I recommend the Amazing Slow Downer

4) Metronome
For a hand-held unit, the Wittner MT60 is good. For an App, any will really do.

5) Tuner
Any hand-held chromatic tuner over $50 will do the job. I like the Cleartune App.

6) Recording Device
Zoom is the industry standard for hand-held audio recording. Garage Band for the Mac and Audacity for the PC are free
