Re: [Harp-L] Will Scarlett-5th Position



Try using Blow 2 as your home note. Now make a chord of HOles 2 and 3.
Blow 2 and 3 together, then draw in the same holes. Play around with
that, then play around with 3 draw, 3 draw bent down 2 semitones, then
draw 2, then Draw 2 bent down ONLY ONE semionte, to blow 2.

Then dtart on Draw 3, go to draw 4, play around with bending that, and
land on blow 5, your other home note.

Then play Blow 5 to blow 6 to Draw 6 to Draw 7, and come back down the
same way to Blow 5.

Then go Blow5 to blow 6 to Draw 6 to draw 7 to draw 8 to blow 8, your
third home note. Come back down the way you came.

Now work your way back up to Blow 8. PLay and around with blow 8 and 9,
bending them both. Then go up from Blow 9 to Draw 10. That's the top
unles you can bend Blow 10 ONLY ONE semitone.

Come back fowwn the way you came. Try doing two-note chords and shakes
on Blow 2-3, Blow 5-6, blow 8-6, and on Draw 2-3, Draw 3-4, 6-7, 7-8.

Avoid Blow 1, 4, 7, and 10, and Draw 5 and 9 for blues.
