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

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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
