Thank you. I’m glad that you like them. Good luck, and when you’re ready to move on you can download the entire course from my website. Enjoy.
What key of harmonica do you use?

This is G, C, A ?
@wz3 C

i find i cant isolate my draw notes, im tryd evrything help??
This is haard!
I can’t isolate any of the notes exept the 1 draw/blow can you help me?
@CaptainInflatable – To help to isolate a single note make sure tha harp is deep enough into your embouchure then start tilting the back of the harp up gradually towards the ceiling until the sound of the chord disappears and you are left with a single note. Try to determine how many notes are sounding when you are playing. If you can get down to two notes then you need to make very, very small movementsleft to right to isolate. It is hard when you start, but keep at it and you’ll get there.
@Captaininflatable – If you continue to struggle it may be worth taking some actual lessons. As proud as I am of my course, no book or video will ever give you the most essential ingredients for progress – Instant feedback and correction. If you’re interested in taking Skype lessons you’ll find the details on my website.
I just became a member “blow the blues”.
The best educational Harmonica video!
Thanks.
Haha It was Neil Young Tracks and various other puffers and blowers that made me want to take the harp up
But i want to do more than puffing and blowing
