Long time piano player, beginning harmonica and guitar player, in love with music but mostly into rock, jazz, blues, boogie and metal these days. I sometimes make instructional videos on pieces I learned by ear and of nice shows I attended, which are available here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Museclectic
I also wrote a free piece of software that allows you to convert MIDI files to tablatures for the diatonic harmonica. Check it out here: http://harpy.sourceforge.net/

How to produce the sound at the beginning of this song? Could you provide an excerpt of that part, for those of us who don't know about the song? |

Confused with Harmonica Wikipedia has the information you need. If your harmonica is not a C harmonica, you just need to transpose accordingly (i.e. move everything up or down by X half-tones). |

List of average genre tempo (BPM) levels? The name is pretty self-explanatory and the OP knows what he's looking for. I must be missing something. |

Does one play a song better after “sleeping on it”? I think this is a special case of a more general phenomenon; I've found that the same thing happens to me when programming (wake up and fix bug almost immediately), or playing games (going back to that frustrating passage after a few days of trying hard in vain and nailing it) -- or sometimes doing research. I'm not sure how on-topic the subject of the causes is, but I'm definitely interested in hearing more on that from more qualified people. |

Why does my piano keyboard sound dull? I tried it a while ago on headphones, I thought the piano sound was great -- but then again, we may have different standards. Did you like the sound when you tried it in the shop? I find it strange that you would have to tweak it to make it sound acceptable... Are you using the keyboard by itself? on an amplifier? on headphones? |

Guitar choosing I don't think you should focus on having your guitar tuned by default, since (1) you can do it yourself with a guitar tuner (they come cheap) (2) you'll eventually have to retune your guitar every once in a while. |

How do I finger these descending treble fifths? @Babu: Strange, I don't have that problem. Here are the links anyway. V1: i.stack.imgur.com/57FWv.png and V2: i.stack.imgur.com/WWAYc.png |

Should pedals be used when playing classical piano music? Can you point to your sources? I haven't played classical music in a very long time, but I recall countless pieces that explicitly instructed the performer to rely on pedals. As to whether modern classical pianists do use them, a quick search for recent classical competitions on YouTube should help you answer that. |
