We have a new student at BluesHarmonica.com! Study along with beginning student Sharon Meheula (soon to be Sharon Barrett... yes, my fiancé) as she takes private lessons with me. Each lesson is video recorded in its entirety—giving you valuable insight into the same material you're studying on the site. Sharon will also be checking in between lessons—allowing you to feel as if you have a harmonica buddy going through the same learning process. You can see her lessons here https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/sharon-barrett

Beginning Student Hob Bosold learns how to count the band in, signal an ending, play accompaniment under a soloist and how to get back on track after getting lost. You can view his lesson here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/hob_bosold

In Ryan Walker’s latest lesson at BluesHarmonica.com we work on his half step bending control (Bending Study 5) and charting a John Garcia 8 bar blues song (Accompaniment Study 9, Duo Playing).

In Beginning Student Hob Bosold's latest lesson he plays the Tongue Blocking Study 1 study song "Walk with Me" to the jam track, learns about the slap and lift technique in the study song "Temperature" and receives his LOA-L1 pin.

Study along with beginning student Hob Bosold as he takes private lessons with head instructor David Barrett following the Levels of Achievement Program at BluesHarmonica.com. Each lesson is video recorded in its entirety, giving you valuable insight into the same material you're studying on the site.

Joe Tartaglia was the featured beginning student on the website since its release in 2009. Hob's lessons are more up to date with the material on the site (especially in regards to the Levels of Achievement Program) and will therefore replace Joe's lessons in time.

Enjoy!

In this lesson Ryan and I work on Accompaniment Study 7: Tramp Bass Line; Transitions; Walking Bass Lines; Solo Harmonica Study Final Ideas; Tongue Block Study 5: Blues for Paul deLay (all choruses); Music Theory Study 3, Sections 6 and 7.

In this lesson Ryan continues his work on Improvising (V-IV-I licks), Accompaniment (Hole Changes), Solo Harmonica playing (Charleston rhythm) and the slow blues study song with breaks, "Blues Creapin' Over Me."
