beginner's question
hi Basic, bought my first harmonica 'hohner special20 C' before getting on your site
can i continue without buying a new keyA model as u recommend? the crossoverA is an expensive model for me.
recommended right hand position: do the last 2 fingers of left hand drop when right hand is put on. how many finger tips is showing in right hand hole.

> after trial period , can i continue further on your site with just the C. if better with only one add. new - A or G key ?
> meant drop of last 2 fingers of left hand showing in hole formed when right hand is on.. tks for links for proper hand correction. not quite comfortable with pinch position yet.
>can u give me notes numbers/draw and blow for your favorite pattern (chord)
a bit advance for me now but would like to memorize eventually as i progress.
tks for your replies
richard
Hello Richard.
The one harp you'll need is the A Harmonica
What "favorite pattern" are you speaking of? Can you please provide me a link to the lesson page and tell me which video link name it is found and at what time in the video you're speaking of... I'll take a listen to it for you.
hi David, can't find where you said 'my favorite pattern' is.. not important at my stage.
> i only have iPad Air, can't seem to dowload 'i want you with me V1 mp3' and have it on my iPhone and iPad (only have copy option) but, can copy pdf in iBook.
if possible can you give me instruction?
enjoying your site/videos and planning to continue
Richard
Okay, thank you Richard. I'm sorry, I don't personally use those systems and am unfamiliar with them.
sorry I didn't see your site before buying my S20 C
why your choice of A for your video lessons?
how will i use the C during my first yrs of learning/practicing lessons?
saving up for the Crossover A purchase.
Welcome to the site rperrier. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it is found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson if you decide to continue you will need to pick up an A Harmonica (it's the most common harmonica used in blues). Best wishes on your studies.
Hello rperrier, welcome to the site.
1) Yes, you can use any A harmonica you want... go for it.
2) Yes, my last two fingers drop downwards when using my right hand. Here are lessons that you can use to see my hand position instruction.

I'm not sure what you're speaking in regards to, "How many finger tips is showing in right hand hole." Please elaborate, thanks.
