This week we're taking on the whole last verse. It's what I'd call a "riff" verse and simply put, aside from altering one note a half-step to make the chord changes, it's basically the same lick throughout the verse until we get to the V. There's a huge range of sounds and effects contained in the 3rd hole draw and in this lesson we focus a lot on working that hole and trying to zero in on some of the many possibilities for expression in that one little reed. Then I break down the V chord and the ending and hey, guess what? You've got a whole new song you can play.

Thank you Rick !! understood !!
Hi Rick !! sometimes to me it s valuable to understand the meaning of the English ... so , what do you mean when you say that on the 1 ; you worrying the 3 hole bent and you say it s a "vocal sound" ?? what do you mean by Vocal sound ??
André
Hi Andre, by "worrying" the note, I mean using bends as an effect. The way I'm starting the verse on that third hole and using the bends and "worrying" the note to produce an effect that's reminiscent of the human voice - that is what I mean by "vocal" sound. I hope that helps.
"It sounds a little tricky....but it's cool."
yeah
