Hi, I need some pointers on using the right key while jamming. Some jams set up and start so fast that I don't get time to fing out what key the lead guitar is jamming in. I'm not sure but a guy from Austin Texas told me if the lead is playing in A then I (harp) plays 4 notes higher. Counting the key they are playi...

Just found this website after my rekindled desire to pick up where I left off over 20 years ago. The Nighthawks and Mark Wenner turned me onto the harp way back when and Jimmy Thackery on the guitar but other life plans took me a different direction. Damn.,. I wish I would've kept at it. Ah well, here I am at...

Hi, I just downloaded 40+ Little Walter tunes and have decided that at age 47 its' still not too late to pick up a harmonica for the first time and actually try to learn to play it. My question is this: I have never played a note in my life and I'm wondering if I should do some serious reading/self-teaching b...

I have only participated in one camp, Dallas in January, 2006 and I have stayed motivated, been playing nonstop and getting a whole lot better ever since. Before jamcamp I was afraid to jam with other musicians but after 3 day...

Hey everyone, I have a couple of quick questions regarding this awesome song. First of all, if my memory serves me correctly the whole prelude to Train, Train was written and performed by Shorty Medlock? Question 1: Does anyone happen to know what particular tongue articulations/chuggin...

Can someone tell me a bit about octave harmonicas. It's my understanding that you play melodies on these much like a standard diatonic, except you're blowing (or drawing) through 2 holes instead of 1 (or 4 holes instead of 2, etc.). However, I have noticed these are available in 32 and 40 hole models (m...

I have a Casio WK-3000 piano keyboard that can do about anything, and I have a nice computer. I can't figure out how to get saved midi files from the keyboard to the computer through the midi cable. Don't know what kind of software or anything. My keyboard manual isn't much help. I want my friend to record...
