Hi David,

I am practicing the study song "Feelin for the Blues" (Bending study #2) with the A harmonica.

For C harmonica, I have seen there is Bending study #2.5 with the song "Take it easy now" to do practice. After completion of the study "Feelin for the Blues" with the A harmonica, and before Bending study #2.5, do you think it is a good idea to exercise the song "Feelin for the Blues" with the C harmonica? The jam track in right key (G to be played in 2nd position with C harmonica) is available in the C harmonica intro lesson ("Walk with me" song). The purpose should be to exercise bending with the C harmonica. To exercise also slaps and tongue flutters I will do Bending study #2.5.

Thank you in advance for any response and happy new year!

Stefano

Hello Stefano. Yes, that

Hello Stefano. Yes, that would be a good idea. Using the Amazing Slow Downer (or program similar to it), move the key of "Take It Easy Now" up 3 semitones to match your C harmonica.
