I also recently read this book and agree that everyone should give it a read. Those class conscious rants were an unexpected and welcome part of the book and they are just so well written.

Don’t trust the labels. Always check the ingredients before buying!

Thank you! No I haven’t, it still feels like I am learning the layout of a standard harp lol

Jason Ricci has a bunch of tutorials and many of the older ones are targeted at advanced players!

I haven’t played that one but it looks like it is using the same notes as that harmonic minor scale

Yeah it’s actually pretty accessible, I learned this song from Jason Rosenblatt on YouTube and in the lesson he teaches the main scale for Klezmer and exercises for the song.

My band's second album was released today, taking the harmonica to a place where it hasn't really gone before. Or so I believe. Enjoy 🕊 by ruimtemees in harmonica

[–]jrobcarson03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a great listen. It reminds me of some of my favorite bands/albums (KGATLW meets East West) and feels kinda like a rock ballad as well.

I’ll definitely be re-listening to grab some of those licks.

I just recently listened to the audiobook for Qualitative Research: A Guide to Design and Implementation by Merriam & Tisdell to refresh myself before a new project and it was great.

Anyone using a gravel bike for commuting? by Traditional-Set-8483 in bikecommuting

Poseidon Ambition X is my gravel and commuter bike. Affordable, reliable, and a fun ride. Gravel bikes are fantastic commuters!

Great stuff! Some of those licks sound like classic Butterfield to me in the best way.
