Adam are you bending the 4 draw in between those warbles at 5:29 in this vid?

[KudzuRunner]

@LRSe7eN:  Yes!

[kobac]

Adam,

if I've asked you what is the harmonica that bends easily and is for beginners, which one would you recommend?

[KudzuRunner]

@kobac: Take a look at the FAQs page on my website, Modern Blues Harmonica.

@MrSireta hi, i was wondering if you could help, as you"ve achieved this lesson! Adam doesn"t explain the notes he plays for the rythym. 2 draw 2 bend, then 3 half bend, but then he plays 2 other notes, is it 3 draw 2 draw? I know its a 5 note beat, but cannot quite work it out! Can you explain, if possible!

[MrSireta]

This lesson was hard to do for me like 3 or 4, 5 months ago. Now I achieve it easy:) I'm glad that so, I have progressed. Thanks Adam for lessons you're a great man. :)

[mrdannygb1606]

thanks Adam,it;s great that you still have these videos.

Great lesson Adam, with many important applications as well as being a good excercise to work on the two and three hole bends.
