Most definitely tongue-blocking for the first eight bars (and the whole tune pretty much). While holdig the harp and playing, it's a combination of moving the harp over with my...

Are you tounge blocking during the first eight bars? Also, are you moving your jaw back and forth or the harp?

Hi Folks, This weeks lesson is on the second solo chorus of Reconsider Baby. The first four bars are fairly straight ahead with pretty typical blues licks. The thing is here he is...

In reality, it's one of the toughest notes on the harp to play (in tune). Practice bending in general more to get more muscle control, and then work with a tuner to try to hold the...

Playing the harmonica softer always gets a better sound and tone...as long as your not playing an el cheapo $1.99 harmonica from the truck stop, in which case it would be so leaky...

Thanks, playing softer does extend the breath and sounds better too.

Any tips on breathing? Do you pretty much have to hold the inhale for the four bars or is there a discreet way to get rid of some air along the way?

Very nice job Steve, great playing!

Thanks Taylor.

Here you are Duke. I changed the last pair of D notes into D9 (first one) and D13 (second one) chords for fun. I also got a new electric, and was able to combine both pickups to...

Great advic!  That's generaly how my music partner and I write songs; the feel, the mood, the emotion of the melody tends to come first but often a lyrical chorus and melody come...
