Thanks Duke .   I agree with you ,the melody is the song . Didn't Herb Ellis say you lose your  audience when you stray to far from the melody ?

Hi Bruce, Yes, it's an "A" harp playing in the key of E. I'd recommend a Hohner Special 20 which has a plastic comb and won't absorb moisture from your mouth, which could cause...

Hey Jerry, I'm a guitar/keyboard guy, but since there are all these great lessons here, I figure I might as well learn some harp while I'm at it!  So I'm wondering what kind of...

Mike -  I noticed that I was able to add the older Flash based lessons like Duke's Blues-A-Rama via the app, but there's no preview icon and it crashes the app when I try to play...

Hi Harry --- you make a great point and this one was a tricky one for us.   Corey's actually playing a moving tone between the 3rd and 4th fret.  It's both the location and how he...

Hi Glo --- you may want to try some of Duke's three note voicings that he does on several lessons.  His "gospel" chord is a bit of a stretch --- but the others are pretty good...

Just discovered this site and your lessons. I was glad to see more than a few of the tunes from your cds that I never got around to figuring out. This song being one of them. Your...

Have you though about adding a chromatic harmonica lesson?  I am sure I am not the only person with a Hohner Super Chromonica lying about the house gathering dust.   I am not...

Mike, I've been working on this part as well.  I'm finding it's a tight seal on the 7, tongue forward & sort of saying "thwee or thway"  mid-tongue is pressing upward and...

Thanks Dennis! For a great reply.... Best regarads/Micha
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Boxed Up Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Hi - yes I am. The 7 blow does not bend much at all, and you want to be careful not to bend too hard. Just like on hole 5 draw (which will bend, but only a little) you can really...

Thanks Micha!! There really is no right or wrong answer as to when to choose a certain position.  If you ask me, this is my real answer: You always want to choose the position...

Dennis! You are the best ...... A question on 3rd position when do you know to play a song in that position ? ? Perhaps stupid question but i have to ask!! Great lesson or me.......
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Boxed Up Third Chorus Breakdown
Hi - thanks!! Bending on the 5 draw and 7 blow is similar, aside from the fact that 7 blow is higher pitched. Meaning that both of these notes DO bend, but only bend a little bit....

Hi Dennis! Are you tonque blocking when you do that seven hole blow bend?

Hi Corey --- what's in your mind when you're singing?  I'm asking as I tend to think about if I'm on pitch and/or singing right --- when it seems like I should be somewhere deeper...

Hi Dennis --- I love this chorus. Your bending and use of distorted notes is beautiful! I'm a beginner, so still getting some of these techniques down.  Do you have any tips for...

Check out the software Jamkazam.  It seems to offer online jamming.  I've not tried it, but it might be a way forward.  If anyone is interested in trying it I'd love to join in...
