    Hello Tomlin. Your lesson came at the right moment because I was just practicing chugging, vamping and tripplets.
    It made me so happy to be able to evaluate myself and after this personal evaluation I think I am an intermediate. It is a pleasure for me to practice the supervamp.
    Thank you for the lesson.
    Ionel.

    I have taken both in person classes and internet classes watched innumerable Youtube videos and no one teaches as well as Tomlin which isn’t to disparage any of the others but his style is so patient and well explained it’s certainly admirable. I’m taking his beginners class although I think more of an intermediate player just to refresh or pick up things I might have missed

    Hi Paul, I’m glad you like it. This is a solo harmonica style so you won’t need a backing track. For practice it might be worthwhile using a metronome to help with the timing. Best wishes, Tomlin

    Tomlin,
    Great lesson this week! Do you have a lesson or would you create one that shows how to convert the 1chord licks in the 12 bar blues to 4 chord licks for measures 5 and 6 to fit over the 4 chord. Another words, ideas how to manipulate I chord licks to 4chord licks to play thru the 12 bar blues.
