David....I love your site. You are such a GREAT teacher.
I just got a Pentaharp and am having a blast with it. Would you be willing to add more PentaHarp content in addition to what you have on your site. I would love instruction in soloing on the PentaHarp? (blues and maybe even rock or bluegrass if you'd be interested).
Also, I would love more songs with the PentaHarp.
Content like your Complete Chicago Blues Harp book and audio would be AWESOME with the PentaHarp too.
Curious about your thoughts on a couple things. Can most harmonica solos in popular blues be played on a PentaHarp with some modification? What are the main things that CAN"T be done on a PentaHarp?
Thank you! Doug
Hello Doug.
I'm glad that you're enjoying the site.
I'm sorry to say that what I have on the site now for the Pentaharp is all I plan on doing.
I would say that most harmonica solos cannot be done with the Pentaharp. Even though it is of course a 10 hole harmonica, it is very different, so solos on a standard harp, though you may be able to find some of the same notes, the techniques used in the original will not apply to the Pentaharp.
As I stated in the lesson, you'll be blazing more of your own trail on the Pentaharp... which is actually kind of cool... what you play will be more "you" than mimicry of other harp players.
YouTube will be a good resource for you. As players post their playing on the Pentaharp, you can study/copy what they play.
