Get ready for the Pull-Slap (Part 1)
Thu, 06/23/2011 - 06:36
Coming soon to BluesHarmonica.com is a Rice Miller (Sonny Boy Williamson II) Artist Study. In this study you'll hear about the technique called the "Pull-Slap." In preparation for this we'll spend a week getting ready for it.
Today, review the mechanics of the slap (taught in Tongue Blocking Study 2). Do some blows and draws and spend a moment defining (as if you were teaching a new student) what the tongue is doing, what happens on the harmonica and what the resulting affect musically.
