Tuning - Paddy Richter, Part 1

The 3" is a tough bend to hit, hold and make sound good. Have you played a tune that requires the use of that note? "Amazing Grace" is an example...

TAB: 1 2 3 2 3 3" 2 2+ 1, 1 2 3 2 3 3" 4

Charlie Musselwhite's "Christo Redemptor" is an even better example. Without good control over the 3" you ain't playing that song...

TAB: 3" 4+ 4 5+ 4 4+ 3"

Look through your songs for the use of the 3" and work them a bit...
