Good day to you Tomlin, I've started using a triplet pattern that reminds me of some of this... 3D 3B 3D 4B 3D 4B 4D 4B 4D and finish on a 5D - using a C harmonica in second position, I'm constructing a solo to "Stormy Monday" and I use that to "climb" up to the change. The 5D is a whole note then 5B 4B 4D( probably 2 half-notes and then the 4D is a whole notes then bend and hold the 4D. And finish with 4D 4B 3D 3B , repeated 3 times, then end on a 1B 1D bent for effect and raised to a standard 1D.

Seems to be notes missing in the tablature, but thanks for the Pat Ramsey lick. We were friendly competitors in Florida many years ago.

[@larkhamandhallmusic]

yes notes missing on the tablature. He's actually playing 5 sets of triplets ending on the six blow. The tab only lists 4 sets then the 6 blow. Bar two should read -4 -5 6

[@NoirFan01]

I saw that also. Play the descending sequence in reverse

[@MrSpanky2001]

[@MrSpanky2001]

Some harp keys I can overblow certain holes and not on other holes......,and on other keyed harps, visa versa. Know what I mean?

[@TomlinHarmonica]

That's totally normal when you are starting overblowing. Some harmonicas are set up slightly differently but the more you refine your technique through practice and perseverance the more you will be able to jump around between harmonicas.

[@ramonandramon]

Sorry, how can I get the over blow in the 6 hole?

[@NoirFan01]

Overblow is difficult. There are videos on KZbin teaching how to do it but it takes a lot of effort to learn compared to bending. However, you can also skip that one set of notes that requires overblow. Just play the notes between 2D and 6B

[@БлюзМен]

Это хорошая схема для отрабатывания навыков игры в такой последовательности нот 123 234 345 456 и т.д.

[@paulcook68]

No offense Tomlin, i just can't get it.

[@NoirFan01]

I understand that. Sometimes I just have to put the harmonica down for a few days and then pick it up again.

[@paulcook68]

I'm throwing my harp in the garbage!

[@TomlinHarmonica]

I'm sorry to hear that - can you tell me what isn't working?
