Hi Phil I assume you mean that you hold the harp upside down with the bass notes on your right. Sonny Terry and Paul Butterfield played this way. It's fine as long as you form...

Hi Aria You've got te correct breathing patterns. What you need to do is keep it going them going over and over like a mantra and they will become stronger as the muscle memory...

Mr Duke!  on Jan 3 '12 You said "oh, well. What do you do?   Well, maybe you two Blues Maestros could get in the studio and do it again and tell the Eng to keep it all!!! :-')...

Hi Guy, Try relaxing the back of your throat to lessen the likelihood of playing the note flat. Also make sure you have the "true" note in your mind as you attempt to play it.

StevieBoy, I use it very often but only in places that have a touch of swing or jump blues in them. It would sound out of place on a.Chicago blues or a Jimmy Reed song. The idea is...

Thank you so much for making your wisdom available on-line. You're a brilliant teacher because you break it all down, like no one else.
