Just curious about Solo Study 3 exercises.  How hard, if at all, should I be trying to slap the bent notes in 2.1 for example?  I'm assuming I should be slapping all the other single notes.

Thanks,

Jules

Hello Jules. Though I won't

Hello Jules. Though I won't be listening for slaps in a bend when I test you for LOA, it's a good thing to practice. When you're studying Rice Miller, Walter Horton, or other classic blues players, and they slap those bent notes, you're ready to go.
