David's Tip of the Day: Octave Awarenes & Cool Ending

Here's a cool ending you can use that makes great use of the knowledge of octaves on your harmonica. These notes are based on the familiar "and many more..." musical vocal phrase.

1 2+ 2" -to- 4 5+ 5 -to- 8 8+ 9

A pro would play it as...

1 2+ 2" -to- 4 5+ 5 where you slap the 4, the 5+ and flutter the 5 -to- 8 8+ 9 in octaves

You can hear this at the end of Rod Piazza's Blues harmonica instrumental "The Bounce," a killer example of great instrumental writing (both Alphabet Blues and The Best of Rod Piazza releases have this ending)
