Blow Bends in 2nd Position? Part 3 (I Chord)

Blow bending can also work on the I Chord (one chord) as well. The challenge is that you need to be reserved. As I brought up yesterday, as you spend time on blow notes, and especially blow bends, you send the message "C Chord," and if you're on the I Chord, you're playing a G Chord (G B D F). So, throw a 9+ in there (G), the classic (classic to "Whammer Jammer") 10"+ (Bb... flat-3rd), and maybe even the 8+ (E... which is an honorary chord tone... the 6th) but don't go nuts.

Give it a try again with a jam track. Experiment with the first four bars of the 12 Bar Blues, this is your longest stretch of the I Chord.

By the way, if you like Magic Dick's "Whammer Jammer" I teach it in the new book Rock Harmonica http://www.harmonicamasterclass.com/rock_harmonica.htm
