Ask as many questions as you like - that's why we're all here. Russ "Dr. Isaac Brito" <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you for your kind answer, Russ. Excuse me for the lot of questions (Interview for a journal???) You are a full harmonicist!! Russ Gaippe <[email protected]> wrote: That's alot of questions but here goes: I play diatonic and chromatic harmonicas and I'm really on this list because I play a bit of chord harmonica and tremolo as well - really nice folks here also!! To learn, I just keep a note layout nearby and pick a song I want to learn and go at it and practice. I do practice scales and such but no set routine. No local teacher either. It takes time to work through everything you want to learn but that's part of the fun. So, just keep at it. It sure would probably help if you used something structured like the Mel Bay book to learn. Give it a try. Russ "Dr. Isaac Brito" <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you Russ!! It seems interesting. I will try to get it. Where i live it's not easy to find harmonica books at local stores. Here i don't know harmonica players. When i was about 10 years old i saw a guy playing a diatonic harmonica. And mine is the unique tremolo i've seen. How did you started playing harmonica? How did you learned without any textbook? What method do you use? Any routine? exercises? Listening and trying? Any local teacher? Regards, Isaac Russ Gaippe <[email protected]> wrote: Isaac, Check Mel Bay. I saw a book on learning tremolo today. I believe Phil Duncan is the author. I have not seen the book myself but I think that would be a good place to start. Here is the linq: http://www.melbay.com/product.asp?productid=96317BCD Russ "Jonathan E.

I have seen textbooks on tremolo-playing advertised, but have not seen any recommendations for any of them written by a tremolo player! Googling will doubtless get you a collection of those advertisements. However, for a basic primer on a harmonica rather like yours, I would very much like to know your impression of this page: http://joshuacorps.org/friends/thetremolo/learning.html > Hi!! > I am new to this group, let me present myself: My name is Isaac, > from Santiago, Dominican Republic (Caribbean).
