: I am in the process of transposing the classic harp jam, Whammer Jammer by Magic Dick-J Geils Band. I have hit a road block. The second note of the song which is a long high note, is giving me trouble. I don't know what he's playing. It's a very dramatic and repeated note. It sounds like a high (like hole 7 or 8) bend which is a "blow bend". I'd be happy to share this work with anyone, but send me anything you may have on it. It is played on an "A" harp and alot of it is effects from a great mic and amp combo. Thanks
Sorry for replying so late, but I only found this site today. The first three notes after the trill in WJ are as follows:
9B from bent to natural (2 beats)
10B from natural to full bent (4 beats)
9B natural (1 beat)
That is all there is to it. Just do it and practice until you drop.... :-)
Good luck and happy harpin'
