Juke Riff
Sat, 09/06/2014 - 07:17
I'm reasonably familiar with the Juke riff in 2nd position so I decided to try it in 3rd. With the F# being necessary I can only play it at the low end. The bend to the A then release to the B on the 3 hole is a bit of a challenge but coming along. As I can't fully replicate the riff higher up where there are no bends due to the lack of a F# I've been playing just the last couple of notes up there then comparing my 3" to see if it sounds similar to 6. My question is do you recommend this kind of comparison to your students? Is there a video? Thanks!
Yes, that's a great idea... keep doing it. No video, there's not much to talk about, just memorize your C Harmonica and C Major Scale, which is taught in LOA-L1. Keep up your work on the Juke riff in 3rd, that's the most common ascending movement on that range of the harmonica in 3rd, and a killer exercise for the V7 Chord in 2nd Position.
