Re: Suggestions for Practicing Half-steps in Three Hole Draw?

[Gary <garybond@xxxxxxx>]

Kim must be using a G and doing an overblow. He said it was a technique few
people could do. A harp starts out fine but I couldn't get that D note he
was playing.

Thanks
Gary

I think,, if he did not switch harmonicas ,,he is playing a G ,,,lol did the
same thing ,,to try and work it out,,I say G because that is what he was
playing in the first part,,have not tried it out yet though.
 now if I could figure out how Magic Dick does that sliding yell note in
wammer jammer near the end my version of that will be complete too ,
lol
