Re: [Harp-L] Creating solid notes through bending techinques - wasSummertime ...

T.D.'s Boogie, Pine Top Boogie and boogies in general are good  
practice for the first few holes. You will use the 2 bends and  
natural in hole 2, the 3 bends and natural in hole 3, and usually the  
1 bend and natural in hole 1. Getting the bends at boogie speed is  
good training for crisp hits. It leads to faster pieces, but makes  
the control on slow ballads sooooo much easier.
