I don't THINK this solo is all on the 3d
I can play the notes on the lower THREE holes (I didn't claim I can
play the SOLO, just the NOTES;-)).
Try it on an A harp
3d, 3d 3d, 3d,, 3d,,
3d, 3d 3d, 3d,, 3d,, 3 2d,  1d
etc
The smooth way he slides up from the 3d, to 3d -then back down all the
way is really sweet
it's the start at the 3d, (1/2 step draw bend) and that transition
straight into the 2d, from the 3(blow) that he really nails.
