Hi David,

I have watched a little bit of your Chromatic classes. I have already had a chromatic harmonica, however, it is a 10-hole chromatic. It seems that you recommend 12-hole one. I will obviously missing notes in the upper register. Is it a really a big deal? I am not sure if I stay with chromatic at this point, although you advertise it as a very intuitive harmonica ... So what are your thoughts on 10-hole vs 12-hole chromatic at the early exploratory stages of my harmonica adventure?

Thanks!

David, Yes, I do enjoy your

David,

Yes, I do enjoy your lessons very much. You explain a lot. The learning process is methodical and systematic. The lessons length works perfectly for me.

I have tried learning harmonica by reading and following a few books but it did not work very well. I tried following some videos on youtube, I think also one of a person who is also here (although I might be wrong) - it was fun but not as thorough as your lessons and your lessons plan.

Thanks a lot!
