I am a regular guy who enjoys playing the harmonica over recorded music, I don't know any musician and have only played a few times with live musicians, but I'd like very much to try to create "something" online with other amateur musicians like me.

Ever since I started recording myself and uploading on the web, I get asked the same questions often, so here are some answers before you even bother asking me:

----
- I play Chromatic Harmonica, the one I currently use is a Hohner, model Chrometta 14 holes in key of C. I find it the best because it is relatively cheap for a chromatic (around 60$) and it is very easy to play (holes are soft on the lips) and has a nice sound (one that I like anyway) and as a bonus it has 14 holes which can come handy when I want to vary a little bit and try to sound very low and very high in a same song. I also bought a HOHNER CX-12 Jazz which is a good harmonica too.

- As for the software I know which can help anyone to learn Harmonica, I will simply give you three ideas:
1. A software generating harmonica tabs from midi files, can be useful: http://www.harpingmidi.com
2. Band in a Box is a nice software for any musicians, you could try to hunt for it: http://www.bandinabox.com and then find two Yahoo groups dedicated to Band In A Box software with lots of free music files.
3. The most complete online resource on the Chromatic has been made a few years ago and updated ever since by a guy from New Zealand:

There also http://www.slidemeister.com the best online community for chromatic harmonica.

- I make my videos with a JVC camcorder with 20GB HDD, so I put it on and I record myself for many minutes then just edit the worse parts with a video editing software that came with the camcorder "Cyberlink PowerDirector", but before I was using Windows Movie Maker and a webcam.

Here it is, if I think of something else, I'll add it here later. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and comment on my videos, you can subscribe to my channel and add me as a friend, the more the connections the better!
