Paid Members Tommy! Posted February 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 This past week I've been getting terrible cramp in my feet and right leg. Â Does anyone have any good advice for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Would you agree that C Major is the best harmonica to start with? Yep. Mainly because the majority of learning material is based on a C major, but also it's a nice mid-point for learning to bend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it was a good beginners harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2016 You can't go much wrong with Hohner. I've got a Silver Star that someone bought me, but I haven't used it that much as I've got two others in C. A lot of people recommend the Marine Band, which I thought was alright without being great. I mainly use Hohner Blues Harps and Pro Harps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Checking my bank account, there's been a direct debit for £20 and it says "Paypal Payment". I have no memory of setting this up and there's no activity in my paypal accounts for £20 to come out on that date. Have I been hacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play the piano quite proficiently as a child and I've still got quite good musical timing. Hopefully that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 29, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 29, 2016 How hard is it to learn the sax? I've always liked the idea of being able to do that. I play sax and picked it up fairly quickly, but I had the advantage of already knowing how to read music. Once you know where all the buttons are it gets easier. I started with Alto and moved up to Tenor, but it depends on your lung capacity as to which one to start on. Just don't expect to sound like the guy on Baker Street or one of Springsteen's band without a hell of a lot of practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 29, 2016 Can you play baker street? How long was it until you could play baker street? It's clearly the important question here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly the important question here. Just about, and it took fucking ages to figure out because I had to do it by ear. The problem with sax music is, unless you have a knack for learning by ear, it's hard to track down actual sax parts written down. You can usually get the melody of the song, but not what the sax would be doing in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
