Re: [Harp-L] Blues licks in First Position

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

The Code for the three balls simply says: blow (yellow), draw (green)  and 
bent (green with black rim). The CODE does not distinguish between the various 
shadings of the bent notes. The bend code needs to be expanded or revised. I 
only watched three of the videos -- I didn't make a study of them. My point is 
the DEGREE of the bends is not readily clear. The little balls also get larger 
and smaller to indicate volume.
My point is that nobody wants to STUDY this new form of tab to try to make 
sense of it. Either a different color or half-moon (1/2 step), full moon (full 
step) and full moon with a dot or slash (step & half) would more sense. To 
expect a harmonica player to examine a modulating ball is too much. 
 
Other than that, I thought the concept was excellent.

Giving it another, more than "cursory" examination, you will find that the
draw notes (blue balls) indeed are shaded differently, according to whether
they are unbent, bent a semitone, or bent a whole tone. The blow notes are
all in the same shade of yellow, being unbent.
