This is one of 2 tunes i have to learn for Soph,year in the tunes sect.of Harmonica Academy it has some mistakes but ive spent 4 months on it,and im ready to move on to the next lesson,I'll play it daily for awhile as a warm up so hopefully it will improve.
Good going there Hobo. Those irish tunes are a bit tricky to play. I have a couple under my belt now and some of the reels really do help to build up speed playing.
thanks Tookatooka Yea this tune,I finaly said the heck with it and recorded it,so i could move to the next one in the course whiskey befor breakfeast,I know it could of been better but sometimes you got to move to the next lesson.These Irish tunes are tuff,But i hope in the long run they will help me improve as a harmonica player.What i find hard besides memorising all the notes to songs ive never heard befor,Is trying to pull a clean note with out it going a little flat that is hard for me right now.Im wanting to bend it a little not on purpose but it sometimes bends just a hair and it makes it not sound right.
