RE: [Harp-L] Anyone taken Harp lessons by phone or webcam?

I saved a bunch of YouTube videos to help me learn at home (I live in a
small town too). There are some good pieces there, but you need to use a
site like Keepvid to store them on your computer, and a Flicker viewer
(free, available in many versions online) to watch them. 

Adam Gussow seems the most accomplished, but there are some useful pieces by
others, depends on your own level of expertise. While a lot of the people
showing off their talents are good players, they're not very good teachers
and tend to give too little lesson and too much "listen to me". Adam is fair
as a teacher.

Search for harmonica lessons and see what comes up. While you're at it,
there are some interesting vintage harmonica videos that you should enjoy. I
also found a couple of blues videos I saved to play along with. I find
playing along a really good tool for learning and I enjoy trying to recreate
the sounds someone a lot better than I can produce.

Hi, all. As a harp player, I am maybe in the advanced beginner category. I
would like to try some lessons, but I live out in the sticks... I see people
advertising phone lessons and such here and there, and was wondering if
anyone had any experience with them? Did they work out? Did they help, or
were they valuable?
  Thanks for any input!
  Mike

  For you guys playing jazz on diatonics...are you thinking the pitches of
the different scales or the scale degrees? (Is this where things like
10th/11th/etc. positions come in?)
