Brian...you hit the nail on the head! If your inner ear is hearing the sound of second position, this will spill over into almost any position you play. Spend some time listening...

Awesome Rick !!  I can hear your feet tapping away when I listen to it through my headphones. It's cool watching it at 75% speed --- I can even start figuring out some of the...

Hi Boyd --- thanks for the comment and I know learning can be frustrating at times.  Have you tried singing the songs as Jerry mentioned to try and separate the timing of the...

Thats nice thanks. This may my last month on sonic junction. I don't know yet, I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Not doing that great in trying to play harmonica maybe...
1708 thumb Jeff caldwell left a comment on: The Song Is Ended B Section & Last A Section Chords
Hi, Paul and Duke, great lesson!  I notice that Paul calls the second chord in the bridge Gmi7b5 while the tab calls it Db6; is that because we're considering the bridge to be in...

Thanks for the reply Jerry, there doesn't seem to be a lot of blues chromatic instruction on the net and it would be good to learn some of the basics.

 Some painful bends and more work on that darned ending!

 I am having both difficulty and fun with the John Lee Williamson style double stops.

Each position on the harmonica will have it's own particular advantages and disadvantages, and sounds/patterns that work well. Little Walter's "That's It" is a great tune, as well...
583 thumb Brian chipman added to a forum topic: Third Position
Thanks very much. I think for me it's also a matter of my ear training, in other word I've become very comfortable with the sound of second position andperhaps I'm still chasing...

Hi Steve, Yes, there are many ways people play this riff. I just prefer to teach from the original source. It's always best to start from there anyway. I am not a tab reader so you...

Dennis,  Thanks for the groovy lesson!...it's making me learn.  I'm hoping to make it down to see you & Steve Guyger at The Record Collector/Bordentown NJ on the 19th.    
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling added to a forum topic: Third Position
Hi Brian - I use 3rd position quite often (more than any other player I know actually). Keep in mind that there are MANY ways for 3rd position to sound different than 2nd...
243 thumb Vinny added to a forum topic: lesson request
There is another track I found you might like too.  Another talent that was not a big headliner because of the decline in audience of blues in general in the 80s and 90s.  I...

Seems like we are like minded! Agree with your thinking. Sometimes less is more and Jennie Mae Hemphill proves that. Regards

Hi, Does anyone have a 12 bar backing track in A that would be suitable for me to play harp to on "keep our business to yourself" ? It figures I would pick one of the first lessons...

I'm glad that you guys like the melodic songs as well as the blues. And hey D.W. - I hope you're getting something from these lessons. I know that you're a fine player already!
103 thumb Jerry portnoy added to a forum topic: Chromatic harmonica lessons
Both Dennis and Rick are excellent chromatic players and play it regularly in their shows. I use it strictly on a "need to" basis. Not sure how many of our subscribers have a...

I play either the Hohner Marine Band DeLuxe or the Hohner Crossover.

No apologies necessary.  I'm glad you found it as appealing as I did. And the community here is a great resource; I enjoy it. I was really taken by the song and her great vocal...

Hi Vinny.  Apologies for jumping in. But wanted to thank you for introducing me to that Jennie Mae Hemphill track.  As you say 'deadly'. Echoes of Hooker and Burnside. What a...

I'm glad you are enjoying it, Duke, because it's the opportunity of a lifetime to be able to learn from you! And I'm having a heck of a lot of fun too!

My bad on the spot where Jennie Mae Hemphill appears - it's about 18:12 into the video which is 1:31:14 long.

Hi Peter, Thanks for sending this. First, good job on the rhythm, it's nice and steady. You're pretty close on the melody. I realize this is a tough one and you did a good job. I...
