Re: [Harp-L] Re: TB or pucker - or a bit of both

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

I tend to agree, but ultimately, it is opinion. For instance, there is no  
way to prove what Little Walter did since he isn't around to talk about or  
demonstrate his techniques.
 
So, before this deteriorates into a debate over proven fact vs. conjecture,  
may we all agree to agree that it is in the ear of the listener, to each his  
own?
 
Also, learning to listen is a big part of how I teach. As one progresses on  
any instrument, his ability to hear into what is going on also progresses -  
deeper into tone and also the ability to hear "faster". For example, a fast run 
 will sound like runaway notes to the beginner, but the int/adv player will 
start  to recognize the notes whizzing past with greater accuracy.

between a TB and a pucker - especially when a bend is involved.  A TB bend on
the 2 draw has slightly less power in it than hitting it with  a pucker.
Listen to "Rocker". It's clear to me that both TB and pucker  techniques are
in the mix on that  one.
