OK enough is enough, what a bunch of insecure wimps. OK right off the start my playing sucks, has sucked and probably will suck for a long time. Just listen to yourselves you sound like a bunch of cry babies. I think I now know why most of you can't make a living in music. If you complain this mush over a simple challange/exersize I bet your a hoot at a jam.
I get it, I understand what is being done here, why don't you harp maestros get it? Oh yeah your ego and low selfesteam are doing battle again.
Now Mr. Hunter set me straight if I got this wrong. This challenge seems simple until you try it. I have, I also sent the site to my Australian harmonica teacher and he loved it and agreed as to how difficult it is. So when I submit my recording to you, it will of coarse be the best one that I can do. The prize I will win is of coarse a better control of my bends. Even if I don't win the compitition I win.
This is a way to motavate us into playing better, instead of an exersize you made it a challenge? right?
Next time Mr. Winslow/Hunter call it an exersize so these poor sensitive musicians wont be offended when they fall short.
