First off, it's only 4 'da's',not 5.
Ah. You probably have never bent a note before and that's why yu can't hear where you should start. You're in the key of A; You can start in two places, and that's the tricky beauty of diatonic blues, because there's two G notes,one
a draw and the other a blow, and they're right beside one another,draw on hole 2 and blow on hole 3.If you draw 2 you have to bed it down, and then bend again (2x),on draw 3. You finish by blowing note C (hole 4). The alternate method is
to blow hole three and play it out in the same fashion.It's a very tough sound to get a hold of
perfectly but once you learn to bend that G note down, at some point it's got to happen for you.
