Absolutly fantastic! I really enjoyed the 'not a shuffle blues' that is exactly the sound I am looking for. All your video's have been really helpful, i've been playing for over a year now and (for not a very musically gifted person) am getting quite good so thankyou very much.

Have you got a tab sheet for this? Also what key and make of harp? Sounds like B-flat, your usual marine band?

@talbot300889: Yes, it's a Bb harp. I've revised the "more info" extended description to include links to a video and tab for the first song, "Buford Chapel Breakdown," which I ended up putting on my first album. It got a lot of airplay on "Bluesville" XM/Sirius satellite radio.

First - thanks for all the videos; they're very helpful. Second - is that drum homemade/modified or did you buy it "off the rack." Any info would be very helpful. Thanks!

@jegelskerdegtoo: I bought the drum setup from Pete Farmer. His website is called footdrums (dot) com. He doesn't still make this exact model, but he's got great stuff.

How many online lessons are there?

[KudzuRunner]

@drakeu85: I've got about 200 free lessons on YouTube and about 60 inexpensive videos + tabs at Modern Blues Harmonica.

Adam, this is AMAZING! I just read a yahoo answers question on how long it takes to learn to play harmonica. The person who answered directed me to your videos. This is fantastic!!!

Q: IYO, can a middle-aged person learn to play harmonica as quickly as a child, assuming she puts the same amt of time into it??

Tx. I bought a harmonica because it was cheap and portable, but I don't actually like a lot of harmonica music I hear. I love this.

[OAKnSTEEL]

what type of harmonica is it? what tuning?

[talbot300889]

@KudzuRunner Sorry I've just read the more info... thanks!

[talbot300889]

@KudzuRunner Regards! I had a look at trying to buy an albus of yours on amazon (I don't know if you use that it the states) but all the albums are mp3 downloads. I'm more of a retro CD man (there's just something about a box on the shelf that means something to me) Are your albums available on CD for Uk residants?

Kind regards David
