Re: [Harp-L] Songs for practicing intonation?

Tom,


"Sentimental Journey" is an excellent song to practice 3 Draw bend 
increments!

I use a song I learned from Charlie McCoy The Standard "Back Home in 
Indiana".  It has helped my students tremendously as they can sing the 
melody, the'bend'  increments however are not part of the Melody but 
chromatic passing tones, you can hear them in this Guitar version as an 
example.

The best part of my lesson is that you not only use ALL three bends in 
the 3rd hole but also incorporate the 2nd hole bends using the same 
chromaticisms off the melody....

a nice way to practice all the 2 & 3 hole bends in one song.....

I teach this concept in my online Masterclass Vol III
