The speed metal guys play with no soul. They just play the scales and modes they were taught continuously and really fast for 10 minutes - impressive for the first 5 seconds but...

Thanks Tony! Duke

Wow Shorty, That was GREAT! You really got it all. Truly great job, BRAVO! Duke 

Hello Weiger, I hope I am understanding your question correctly. After the beginning of the intro where we play the 13th chords chromaticlly up to the 4 chord all the chords are...

Very good Steve, I wish I had your vibrato! Duke 

Hi Bruce, You did very well actually. And your  comment about the sharpe 11 chord was good. The note you were playing were to a Dd 7 which work fine there. Actually what the story...

Well Charlie, I would love to come over there to gig and teach. Not much interest anymore though it seems. I think the speed metal guys are winning the battle! Duke

Thank YOU Tom! Duke

Harvey...if you are consistently blowing out 5 hole inhale, you are trying to bend it down "through the floor", or exceeding the force necessary to bend and stressing out the reed...

Thank you for your response Mike. I write code for a living so I understand technically why this happened. What it didn't take into consideration is that I didn't take the two...

Thanks, Iceman.  Here's something interesting along these lines.  I realize that of all the A-Harps in my little pile of reed damaged harps--what an embarrassment--it is invariably...

re: bending while TB'ing...Harvey is having trouble with the 5 inhale bend. I have a different perception to what Rick posted in response.   I find that bending is instigated by...
