Re: [Harp-L] Draw 4-5 trill, WAS: Playing & Driving

A great challenge to yourself is to try to play a solo, set or complete evening without using one of your basic ideas - whether it be 4/5trill or even a solo without any vibrato/tremolo at all.
It forces you to be in the moment while playing...not such a bad thing.

Michael,
 
I dont think Robert is knocking the trill.
 
"<grin> Can YOU get by an evening without it?"
 
Also, the 10 hole blow bend is a regular part of my trickbag but I try not to 
overuse it.
 
Play it loud and be proud
Jump up high and fart out loud
