feeling for the blues question
Sun, 01/27/2019 - 15:17
I'm nearing the ending of feeling for the blues (and yes, bending's been a slow ride but satifying to find and here those bent notes seem to just pop out when all's right) but my hearing doesn't agree with my seeing.
in the 8th bar of 6th chorus my pdf starts out with 3 blow but my mp3 does a quick 3 draw whole step bend then 3 blow. it's tought but I'm getting the movment down slowly.
does my ear deceicve me?
there's no mention of that quick bend on the chorus study lesson, so I'm wondering what I've missed.
thanks for your help as always.

You can pick it out better if you listen to the 30% slow track. Essentially this is a dip that is not notated. You'll note in the song on most of your three draws the upside down triangle which is a dip. It is a quick transition from a half step bent three draw (or F# on A harp) to the three draw (G on A harp). The three blow cannot be bent (E on an A harp). However if you quickly hit the three draw full step bend (F on an A harp) and transition to the three blow it will sound like a dip. I suspect David might have done it out of habit. A bit tricky and probably why it was not added/notated. You may want to ask him. You certainly have good ears to pick that out.
