"Lump" Bass Line
I'm having trouble with breath control on the lump bassline. I find myself running out of breath by the end, due to the number of draw notes. I know there are so many reasons to use 2 instead of 3+, but would it be okay to substitute 3+ at times, in this case? I'm just doing a bassline in the background, so I think it would be okay to alternate bars between 2 and 3+.
Thanks for pointing that out. The lessons with Ryan are a great supplement for this part. I think these bass lines are so great and can really help me out.
Bass lines are awesome on the harp, for so many reasons.
Lumpetty Lump just came up last week in a discussion I had with a guitar player. I'm intrigued what it is and sounds like. Where can we reference that material on the web site??
thanks

Hello John. Accompaniment Study 7.
Yup, 3+ is just fine. As I state in Ryan Walker's lesson, what I wrote for you us based on the bass player's perspective, which is value to know, but uncommon for a harmonica player to play, so don't spend too much time on this.
