Hi David

I was looking at Solo Harmonica Study 3, which is for advanced players but you have some bass lines as part of your  Level 5.

 

Anyway, it's of course very hard to slap into a 3-hole whole step bend, and, when I listen to you play example 2.1, I get the impression you're not slapping there (the A in measure 5).  Am I hearing right?  Is it OK to play it that way?

 

Thanks

You're correct, it's not as common to slap into a 3"
