Greetings!
I recently discovered a new app I wanted to share with everyone as it has helped me tremendously. It’s in the App Store for like $4. No idea who created it, but it shows you a layout of all the notes on the harmonica, and then through your microphone as you play, it highlights the notes you are playing. You can select different keys, you can record, and it also color codes the accuracy of the note played for the intonation.
In the B2B Course Module 2, I was struggling to hear, learn, and know if I was playing the right notes for the chords (for example, when trying to play different double stops, I may be aiming for 45, but I’m hitting 34, 345, 45 or 456. As you play the notes, this tuner tells you what you’re playing and you can see if it’s correct! I’ve been using it to play double stops and single notes so I can learn the correct sound, position, etc. and get more consistent with the tone and feel. For bends, you can actually see your bends as they happen and know when you are hitting the right note!
Anyway, I’m not a salesman! I just stumbled upon the app and thought it may help some of you as much as it has me.
Happy harpin’!
And the cool, relaxing, meditative feeling is perfect for getting into the relaxed playing mode (for those out there who tend to “tense up” while playing).
