Re: [Harp-L] butterfield

[The Iceman <icemanle@xxxxxxx>]

am curious about this statement...could you explain more, please?
 


You
can play a note
for an extremely long time if you get over the paradigm
that the diaphragm
expands only when inhaling.

If I remember correctly, Paul is playing a 2 draw and 5 draw double stop.
He
holds it that long because he plays softly and also he might have
figured out
how to expand and contract the diaphragm whil inhaling.  You
can play a note
for an extremely long time if you get over the paradigm
that the diaphragm
expands only when inhaling.

6 draw bend is F.  That is called the b9.  It
acts as a chordal extension
to the b7 D note in the chord.

Why is F not in
the key of E?  Every note is in the key of E.
