[Harp-L] Bending on a Diatonic Harmonica Using a Pitch Pipe to Test Accuracy

[Arthur Jennings]

You can make any metronome click on 2 and 4. Here's how:

1. Set the metronome to half your desired tempo. For example, to play 120bpm set the metronome to 60bpm.

2. As the metronome plays, count "2, 4, 2, 4" with the clicks.

3. Subdivide by added "1" and "3" between the clicks so you are counting "1, 2(click), 3, 4(click)".
