[Harp-L] Re:shortcuts

The harmonica takes several different muscles, from your tongue, to your  
throat, to your diaphram, and to your soul. Some no matter how hard they try  
will not become pro players, that is just in the cards, and your soul. But it  
still does not mean you cannot enjoy the instrument, improve upon your playing,  
which ultimately makes you feel good. For all the heat I have taken, and many 
 will attest to this, in our first conversation I will give some tips that 
many  have said they would not have found out without other materials. I feel it 
is  just the right thing to do. What do I do besides practice to work on my 
air and  throat vibrato:  When I am on the eliptical machine at the gym, I go 5 
 times a week, I judge pure fat burning by my target heart rate, around 144 
BPM.  My breathing after a few minutes is not just breathing, I practice 
diaphram  vibrato, 6 inwards deep breaths and 4 -5 blowouts with diaphram as if I 
were  playing a note. Then I spend 10 minutes on sucking in air with my throat  
vibrato, Ka ga, ka ga, or ga ga ga ga , no one can hear me as they all have  
headphones on. It works those muscles as I am learning a whole different  
technique for TB from Dave, which I know is the right way, I have done it my way  
for many years. Some revert to yoga, but it is extremely difficult while you 
are  sprinting to control your air flow in and out, I sent out 5 Crunchers , I 
have  Ian Collard, one of Aussie's best, playing both guitar and harp through 
it, so  it has been a challenge but his next gig should be soon. To any 
Cruncher owners,  get yourself or contact me to pick up a 5751 tube, that will bridge 
the gap  between the 12AT7 that might now be enough, and the 12AX7, which may 
not give  you all the sweep you need.
