No problem at all, man. Glad to help.

Yeah. I guess I shouldn't have said ever. I always tell beginners to avoid it, because they usually pucker like they ate something fierce sour, and muck up the thing.

I've always found that if you focus on relaxing with beginners, they develop good habits early, and I find that avoiding puckering is best for this.

Although, and I may be misunderstanding you on this, but my method has no tongue-blocking involved. It's all in the lips, sort of a hybrid-pucker. I hate tongue blocking as it occupies your tongue (more or less) which you need for bends, overblows and whatnot. As a primarily blues player, this is quite important for me.

Shoot, I dunno. I s'pose I'm just going with what I know, dig?

I can tell by a few of the pixels...

Don't pucker

Ever. It's awful technique. It's a very non-relaxed face position and will come and bite you in the ass later on.

Hold the harmonica on about a 45 degree angle upward, toward your forehead. Pout your lip a bit and place the angled harp on your bottom lip so that the fatness (?) of your lip covers the holes the you don't want. Your upper lip should merely rest on top of the harp.

Your mouth has to be relaxed while playing. It is absolutely crucial. You can play with the position a bit, but all in all, relaxation is key. It will feel a little unnatural, but trust me on this one.

You should be able to move your jaw quite freely without losing posture. Also, the harmonica will be kind of deep in your mouth as you play.

If I was unclear on anything ask away. This embouchure is, IMO, the most important thing, so don't hesitate to ask.

I would sort of feel sorry for that guy. Didn't know what he had. I was considering telling my guy until he told me to fuck off.

I'm DTF.

mr_gigawatt · 2 days

I know that feel. I got mine for 10 bucks.

The guy selling it was a huge douche bag. I tried to buy a couple other things from him later, but he told me to fuck off because I was bartering. Karma is a bitch, I guess.

Don't knock it till you try it, I always say.

I'm actually quite interested in comedy. I find him quite clever, and I find his deadpan one liner style reminiscent of Mitch Hedberg, who I miss dearly. Your arguments are pretty baseless. I just like him because he is funny, not to 'distinguish myself from those I dislike'.

IAMBEINGLOUDD · 3 days

Really? Cause he I have been to a few of his shows recently, and they were all sold out, or close to it. Either way, Demetri and Louis C.K have entirely different styles of comedy, so I you can't really compare the two.

English:

Paul McCartney was walking to Strawberry Fields with John Lennon, and when they were crossing Abbey Road, John said, "Babes, is Strawberry Field Forever?" Paul said, "No." John cried and ran across Abbey Road before the green man came on the sign. Paul was crying and went to pick up his body. He was dead. He whispered to his corpse, "I meant to say Strawberry Fields 5ever." (That means more than 4ever - forever) Reblog dis if u cry everytym.

Dutch:

Paul McCartney was het lopen naar Strawberry Fields met John Lennon, en wanneer ze werden Abbey Road oversteken, John zei: "Babes, Forever is Strawberry Field? ' Paulus zei: "Nee." John huilde en liep over Abbey Road voor de groene man kwam op het bord. Paul huilde en ging op te halen zijn lichaam. Hij was dood. Hij fluisterde in zijn lichaam: "Ik bedoelde te zeggen Strawberry Fields vijf ooit." (Dat betekent dat meer dan vier ooit - voor altijd) Reblog dit als je iedere keer huilen.

Google Translate, bitch.

I never hear the Monkees! Although, I agree. More B-sides.

Also, Jazz stations generally don't replay that much. I think it is because those who listen to classical, jazz (or stuff like that) are not on the 'easy listening' side of the spectrum. That is, they are generally more serious about music, and are more able to listen to less accessible music.

Hobbyist who collects radios. I listen a lot.

I feel you too. Right there. Yeah... does it feel good?

And much of it would go towards further regulating and administrating new drug taxation policies, Appealing court cases, amending laws and so forth.

Also, money would be spent enforcing the taxation laws. Think about it, it is illegal to sell homemade, untaxed cigarettes or hooch. It would probably be similar with weed.

Yes. He is much more stealthy than his brother.

17 . I also work two jobs to support my family and work very hard at school. I have to worry about my family being evicted and where we will get money for next month's rent. I never get to see my friends outside of school. My life is stressful as fuck, and I'm proud to say that I don't smoke. I drink socially occasionally, but not much, as I don't like beer or most liqueurs. I haven't ever been drunk.

I play music to release stress.

There is special place in hell for you. Right next to the lawyers.

Not for everyone. I've tried weed a few times and each time was either horrifying for myself or just very, very boring. Although, the horrifying times may have included some other stuff, I'm not sure (I had shitty friends). Otherwise I just sat there and stared at my buddies for an hour or played video games. Not worth my time or money at all.

There are other things to do to release stress. Everyone gets stressed, and not everyone turns to drugs or alcohol.

I think everyone knows at least on person who smokes pot.

Yes. Those damned pregnant mothers going around being happy and all. Don't they know that all that smiling is harming their children!

Just being the devil's advocate, but the taxation of weed would only be a drop n the bucket. For example, how much (percentage wise) of all tax dollars do you think is brought in by taxing cigarettes? I would estimate about than .1% to .5% of tax dollars. I'm too lazy to look up real statistics.

My point is that taxation would do very little for anyone because this.
