Hello Fellow Harpers!
This week we tackle the next two “riff” choruses of “First Class”. The first of which really needs your attention on differentiating between the half- and whole-step bends on the 3 draw. This is where practicing with a tuner really pays off! When practicing them with a tuner, try to get as close as possible to pitch, then hold it for a few seconds, and alternate between the two notes. The second chorus has more blow notes utilized, including some percussive 1 blows.
Make sure you are comfortable repeatedly playing this lowest note on the harp, and I’ll see you next time for the next two choruses!
