Hi everybody! this is erejum31 from greece,

just to say a few nice words.You know,I

think there are three kinds of bluesmen.the

ones that play the blues,the ones that play and feel the blues,and last,the ones that play, feel and enjoy sharing their music,like mississippi fred mcdowell,one of my favourites.My friend,you are the of the last

kind.TRUE BLUESMAN.please have in mind that you have a friend in greece,if you ever happen to be there.

Thanks!

[jcbush13]

Thank you for your suggestions and tips. I appreciate your willingness to give us amatuers some guidance. But, where did you get that big ass harmonica on your wall behind you????

[RonnieShellist]

my buddy gave to me. he used to own a music store and that was a display advert for harmonicas.

[detharp]

so what bout tongue-blocked blow-bends? maybe another lesson? lol

[ollyk22]

So am I right in thinking that blow bends are the same as overblows?

[cazzelikrueger]

Over blows can untune your harp so use your tongue like he says

[odalanizi]

Ronnie, your lessons are great. I think they're too vague/short however... maybe you could think about doing 2 lessons one week than 1 lesson the next week then back to 2 lessons... we need your help and one week isn't satisfying!

Maybe you should be grateful we are getting any lessons?! Personally I have learn't a lot from these simple lessons and find he has helped me understand issues that others just take for granted!

Cheers Ronnie!

[boufgreg]

I can get the Blow Bends with no problem. However I just cant seem to get get Overblows.

Help! I have tried every lesson on youtube but still cant seem to get it.

Thanks for the lesson

[HarpDr]

Ok, stupid question: What's the difference between an overblow and a blow bend??

[boufgreg]

Sorry I don't know. But I can bend the 10 hole down, but can't seem to get the 4,5,6 hole to go up. I hope this makes sense.

[HarpDr]

No, not really. Sorry. Are Overblows and blow bends both done on the blow? Ronnie...any insights?

[boufgreg]

Yes The 10 hole blow-bend, bends the note down while the 4,5,6 overblow bends the note up. All blow notes.

[HarpDr]

Ahhhh...it all makes sense now...thanks!

[guitartate92]

[harpmonkey]

For me, I found that the same technique for whistling put me in the proximity of set up for blow bends.

[jsilvatx]
