Advanced Seminars was[Harp-L] Beginner, intermediate and advanced

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 I'm in the process of developing an ADVANCED diatonic workshop weekend with this exact sentiment in mind. Of course, the workshop will only work if enough are interested in attending. 

Not a criticism, but an observation I've made regarding these types of workshops to date - most advertised as advanced or catering to advanced players have been intermediate at best. Those of you who have attended these and find yourselves twiddling your thumbs while basic techniques are, once again, taught, will know what I'm talking about.

The others are the OB Mastery type workshops (Howard Levy, etc), where virtuosity and jazz/eastern modal chops are prevalent.

I hope to fill the gap between these two.

Hey Iceman,
 
I like your definition.  Any advanced harmonica player should be focusing on the 
music, not technical stuff.  And I don't feel that you need "all" the technical 
stuff that has been mentioned either.  For example over-blows-I know they are 
there to use; but, so what.  There is nothing wrong with just using a different 
keyed/tuned harp to achieve the same effect, if you want to and can.  Just my 
opinion of course.
