I’m subscribed to his YouTube too he has some great easy to follow lessons on there but there’s about ten? Weeks of chromatic lessons it’s pretty good. I’ve learned quite quickly. Tip watch the video through a few times get the riffs in you head note where his mistakes are and then just don’t make them. He usually uses an expletive to indicate the mistake so you can’t miss em :joy::joy::joy: I’m up to lesson six and I’ve found backing tracks in the key he suggests and also a key for my A chromatic and since my cold has gone I’ve been practicing I still a bit short of breath though

Unfortunately I’m locked out, all my computer and 'phone equipment belongs to chambers and have a number of restrictions built in, so unless I fork out for a personal computer the YouTube link is unavailable to me. Jay1

Maybe I am out of the loop, but what is Chambers?

Sorry that’s my fault Chambers is a UK term for an office from where lawyers work. I suppose we all get used to using certain terms, people not familiar with harmonicas or music could be confused with terms like harp. You’re not out of the loop, I just used a term from the wrong loop :roll_eyes: Jay1

Thanks for that I couldn’t figure out how to put a link into the comments

It’s a thing that I think the designer of the forum software (Discourse?) maybe thought would be ā€˜intuitive’?

If you use the ā€˜Hyperlink’ button in the editor tool bar to insert a link, what you get is a clickable link, like there was in your post.

If you simply paste the link into your message text, the forum software takes a look at it & if it recognises the style & location of the link it does some ā€˜software magic’ and ā€˜embeds’ content into your message. The software doesn’t understand everything, but it can usually do a good job with well known sites such as youtube.
If it’s going to work, you’ll see the effect within seconds in the preview panel.

It’s great, but especially for those of us who have been using computers for a long time it’s not the first thing we’d think of doing because for many years it would have been pointless.

Strange things computers, at times… LOL!

I hope that makes sense & helps.

You may as well be Speaking Chinese!!!:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: I’m terrible at technology I use my phone, which is even worse, I have a very basic knowledge of computers I have no knowledge at all about phones. And I’m going to have to get a new phone I’m dreading it, all the redownloading apps remembering passwords for an autistic person who does write these things down ( then forgets where he puts them) it’s an absolute nightmare. My wife wants me to get an iPhone not bloody likely! I want something simple and basic.

I’d hate trying to use Forums on a phone (BTW the only reason I carry a phone when I’m out is so I can be contacted by a small number of people who need to do so. It’s only recently my mobile has even been turned on when I’m at home, and it’s as basic as I can get away with!
I’ve worked with computers for over 40 years, mainly as a software developer, but that doesn’t means I necessarily like them or all that they do, Nowdays there is so much you could try to know about them that I stick to a ā€œneed to knowā€ basis.
When I’m not at work I try to minimise their use - but a browser for keeping track of forums is one of the things I allow. :slight_smile:
