Hi Tomlin how can I get tabs to 12 bar structure I am not on facebook
Hi Terry, don’t worry you don’t need to be on Facebook to get the tab. In case you haven’t received the email, I have sent it to you again. Best wishes, Tomlin
Do you provide online lessons via Skype?
Hi Ed, I do indeed. Send me an email to tomlin@tomlinharmonicalessons.com if you want more details. Cheers, Tomlin
Good Morning Tomlin: Thank you very much for all you are doing in providing lesson for the harmonica community…. This is looking like a nice 12 bar blues that would be very do-able for me to do… However I am not able to download the Medium Shuffle In “G” I have found it on your soundboard but it is NOT available for download… could you point me in another direction for finding a backing track that would work nicely with this 12 bar blues (Easy 12 bar blues)
Thank You!!!
Paul Johnston
Hi Paul, I am working on backing tracks being available for students. Hopefully this will be ready early next year. In the mean time if you search for Medium shuffle in G on YouTube you will have a large number of options. Best wishes, Tomlin
