Re: [Harp-L] Definition of overblow



From: "Dave Murray" <dlmurray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The first paragraph of the article at http://www.coast2coastmusic.com/diatonic/overblows.shtml says, "Overblows are basically blow bends on holes 1, 4,5,6 and overdraw are draw bends on holes 7,9,10. The reason the are not considered bent notes is because the notes do not "bend" down to a lower note but instead "pop" up to a high note. The action and technique is nearly the same as bending"


Hey,
8 overdraw is a great note. It is an enharmonic (equivalent) of 9 draw.
The overdraw is bendable and has much more soul & expression than 9 draw.

2 overblow is a nice enharmonic also (same as 3 draw bent down a minor 3rd)
3 overblow is very unstable enharmonic of 4 blow(sort of.) It is a nice ugly effect though
