Re: Re: Harmonica range

[<lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tremolos can be bent, I've heard JJ Milteau do it on record, live and in my
living room (not at the same time ;-)

Basically you need to isolate one of the holes (upper or lower) and then
bend normally. It's tricky to fit into phrases.

The recorded piece Milteau uses this in is Yaoussa on the album Routes.
