Re: [Harp-L] The Harmonica Player-by David Guion



Dear Winslow,

I hope you this finds you well!!!!

It's not important how many holes you cover; only the ones you don't cover play. So if I play a third out of one side of my mouth, I have no idea how many holes my tongue is covering on the other side. By the time it comes to having and octave and a third, I don't think, gee, I must cover two holes in the center.


I do think, I must play an octave and add the third on one side of my mouth or the other.


If I were writing a book, I would have to have some kind of notation just because there is no teacher right there to explain the process. This is why everyone should study with a teacher.

Harmonically yours,

Robert

Robert -

Why not make each of the "-" representing the tongue equal one hole
blocked?

As in:

D-A
D--BD
D---D

etc.

I have a tab font, Chromatic Sans Dot, that does a similar thing
vertically (has to be vertical as it's for placing under notation;
the version you use below is more literal in its alignment if not its
spacing).

By the way, I'm overing a similar subject in a series of articles at
harmonicasessions.com.
