I find this sort of discussion amongst the most useful and interesting
on Harp-L! I wish there was much more if it...

Then practice familiar songs that require use of those indivitual bends to cement it in as you will already know the note that's ~supposed~ to sound.
Hi, Ken!
Someone (maybe even you) once pointed out to me a familiar, very simple
tune that is played entirely on hole 3 and exercises all the bends
therein. For the life of me I just cannot remember what the song was.
What is cool about it is that you already have the tune cemented in your
memory as it is a childhood standard many of us have grown up with. That
way, you can practice your 3-hole bends anywhere; no need for a piano.
I'd be most appreciative if someone could jog my memory with the name of
that tune...
I also recall hearing that Kim Wilson likes to play a simple blues
entirely on hole 3. Anyone know what that is?
