Re: [Harp-L] 'Lost' Tongue Blocking Techniques for Solo Harmonica

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First off, sorry for the "no subject" post--I hate when I do that.

Filisko is certainly the best teacher of old-time stuff I've ever  
met, so if you can get to one of his teachathons at SPAH that would  
be highly recommended.

I'd also suggest you buy this CD:

http://www.samhinton.org/harmonica/

I'd say any harmonica player, enthusiast or old-time fan should buy  
this, it is simply fantastic.  Hinton's playing is amazing, even if  
you've heard both the old-time solo players and some of the modern  
masters of these techniques.  Also, amazingly, there is a series of  
instructional videos of Hinton on YouTube, this is the first:

And this is the site for all of them:

This is the most amazing of them all, and I really, really want one  
of these (I've experimented with blow/draw flue pipes and have seen  
the patents for this--actually making one would be very difficult,  
more error than trial):

Hope this helps:
