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

[Gary <garybond@xxxxxxx>]

It's supposed to be a #3 hole solo. That's what makes it difficult because
there's a hint of a D note in there(3blow). He starts out with a Gand that
would make it a G harp with a #3 OB.

Thanks
Gary

P.S. I ran the solo and the short dialogue after it through Amazing Slow
Downer at 300% stretch. When the guy starts talking he says "TTThhheee
ttthhhiiirrrddd hhhooollleee WWWooowww"  like he's been sipping a few brew.
It's a real laugh.

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.
