Thanks,

Before I saw this video, my dog used to bite me every time I played the harmonica

@CarlangasNapoleon lol. I had the same problem with my cats. :)

@OhPhilly It might be worth looking at some of JP Allen's vids. He does great stuff with breathing. He's got a load of youtube vids as well as a website. Good luck!

Thanks mate, I think i've been pushing too much hair through, resulting in me needing to breath much more. I'll try and keep at it and not lose interest. I think they sound cool!

[Tompey2009]

@OhPhilly Absolutely not.Or at very least I've never heard of that. I imagine you're breathing too much there. Remember that you shouldn't be clawing for air or filling your lungs to bursting at any point. If you do that your notes wont be as 'stable' as you want. Try breathing as naturally as possible, especially when you start learning. Then you can play around with different volumes and breathing later on. Good luck with it.

Sweet mate. Also, is it normal to feel light headed when playing? I am learning harmonica and either breathing too much or too little.

[Tompey2009]

@OhPhilly Ahhh, right. Yes. I think you might be right. I'll look into it.

@Tompey2009
