If you ve been longing to improve your ability to play along with other musicians, I feel optimistic that my metho d will support you in making the breakthrough.

Total Time: One hour and Thirty minutes As you probably already know, bending is one of the most soulful aspects of harm onica playing that is used in all styles of music. Unfortunately, it s one of the most challenging basic techniques to learn. I created this intensive bending wor kshop to support people who are having difficulty learning to bend or are frustr ated because their bends are weak, airy or out of tune. Through 20 years of study, researching and the best ideas from other harmonica t eachers, and analyzing my playing through an understanding of anatomy and physio logy, I developed a unique method that I m confident will take your bends to the n ext level in no time. In this lesson, I will show you how to play the true blues scale, bend the high notes, explore an assortment of exercises to develop your speed and dexterity, a nd share with you new technology for supporting your playing in tune. Learning t o bend with ease will open up a huge world of self-expression and the freedom to touch, move and inspire people right down to their bones.
