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...

Hey folks, It's The Giff. I'm in seek of a little bit of help/good advice on how to exactly play the quick "Taylor Hicks riff" in the video below. I know that he's playing an E harp in 2nd position and that it sounds like he's doing a fairly simple 4/5 draw, slid to a 3 draw and then back up to a 4 blow? B...

I seem to have a bit trouble with the Hand effect, when I make an aircup, and tries to open and Close my hands, I get the Feeling that Im just intensifying the volume with my mouth, instead of creating the tremlo effect, So I think right from the start I am doing something wrong. Maybe some of you in here...

I was wondering if anybody has done something like this before? How do you know what songs they play, what key, e...

Well First of all I must say that this show is not something I normally see, but when I was introduced to Taylor Hicks and his harp, I just had to stick on to see how it went. From what I hear it sounds like he been around for quite sometime, anyone in here heard of him before he got on tv? I just think it...

I've been trying to figure out the harp part in Muddy Waters' "Off the Wall" (I think it's Little Walter playing?) and there's one part I just can't get. The version I'm using is off the album "The Gold Collection." There are a couple of verses that are kinda "honking." The first one starts at about 1...
