    This is a fantastic app! I have a link on my Home Screen of my phone and use this app when I practice.
    Thanks for making it. This is really helping me to get my intonation dialed in. I’m only 7 weeks into learning the harp but I can bend holes 1-6 (hole 5 on my country tunes harp) and blow bend hole 8&9.

    Thank you very much for this app, after using this app I found out that was bending notes without realising it! And now I can check whether the notes are in tune, and this gave me confidence! Thanks a lot again.

    Hello JP, I just installed this tool. I was already trying to bend, but found it so difficult. Now I can bend the low D note, not always correct, but once in a while I'm having success. So this tool really is very good. Thank you very much to make bending easier.

    I'd try it right now if it were not 10pm i.e. I'd wake up the whole house doing so lol 😂
    But I will give it a try - no let me rephrase that, I will definitely start using it tomorrow morning.
    Thanks a lot this will be a great help.

  • @giusepperesponte8077
    @giusepperesponte8077 Před 3 lety

    In my opinion, out of the first four notes, from easiest to hardest it goes:
    1 (easiest): 3 draw
    2: 2 draw
    3: 3 draw
    4 (hardest): 4 draw
    I know this is weird and it’s backwards from the norm but that was my experience.

    When I´m studying bends and I can play them, my lip muscles always contract a little, even thou I focous my attention to my throat. I believe it´s because of muscle ressonance, since everymuscle is conected to each other, isn´t it? Is this normal?

    Hi.. I have a question about the # and flat. Actually, if u see in keyboard, we got some Black Keys stuck between white keys. And some songs will use those keys to get the perfect sound. But we don't have those keys in diatonic harmonica. Is it possible to play those notes on harmonica? If yes Can u make a video on that?
    Thanks..

    it be possible to make the sound of the note play longer? Thanks!

    • @Harmonicacom
      @Harmonicacom  Před 2 lety +1

      Hey Juv - overblows is a very advanced technique that a very small portion of the harmonica community at large uses. Even many of my favorite players like Joe Filisko, Ronnie Shellist, John Popper, Roly Platt choose not to use overblows and overdraws (even though they're capable of achieving them.) They're the thinnest and weakest sounding notes on the harmonica. That's why we chose not to include them on the BIB.

    • @juvenwang
      @juvenwang Před 2 lety

      @@Harmonicacom Thanks Luke! Then another question, how do you play the low Eb (Eb3) in your demonstration for the full chromatic on the diatonic harmonica? Did you play the overblow? or did you skip that. I was trying to learn from some of your video.
