Re: [Harp-L] Problems with A harps

Thanx for answering Dave.  Yea I do that sometimes but usually just for 
octaves, but sometimes I play  around like what you are talking about. Not very 
often though, but I don't  do it with impunity or anything like that. Something 
to work on. Now that I  think about it, the most I ever played around with 
these intervals that we are  talking about, I was doing country at the time. Some 
of that slow stuff where my  buddy was using his B bender to sound like a 
pedal steel (Jim Froman is the man)  I found myself doing it.

Put your  mouth on holes 1-4. Put your tongue on holes two and three. That's 
a  split-tongue interval octave, blow or draw. put your mouth on 2-5, tongue 
on 3  and 4 and you've got a split-interval that's a seventh when you draw, but 
not  an octave, you've got the root on the I chord and the 7th. Some guys can 
 switch back and forth between those notes, so I think it applies whether you 
 are playing on both sides of the tongue at the same time or switching back 
and  forth.
When one is sure he will sound stupid for asking, yet asks with  impunity, 
that is a sign of a fast learner and a well-rounded person, my  friend.
