I'm not sure about one thing on Adam videos regarding 2 draw and 3 blow holes. Especially like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKVxUJlcTA8&feature=player_detailpage#t=245s

and other examples when we have G note I'm never sure if Adam is using 2 draw to get it or 3 blow?

@lukx

First, your links are interesting. Not only do they bring up a video, but also they bring one to a very specific part of that video (right down to a specific second in time). You've taught me how to do that. Thanks.

RE: Your 2draw Vs 3blow question:

In second position, 2 draw is the preferred note.
Personally, I use the 3 blow when:
1. It’s an easier transition within the run
2. I need to dump some air (exhale)
3. To hit the 3B-7B octave
4. Blowing a chord

In 2nd position the 2D is one of the biggies. We bend it and then bend it down some more. We roll off it, down to the 1D or roll up to the 3D bend; we pull on it hard and torture it, or pull easy and use our vibrato to caress it. We chug it, we double-stop it and we tongue block it. We play it clean and we play it dirty. Did I forget anything?

Blues players have a love affair with the 2-hole draw and they don’t abandon it easily. You will be that way too.

Thank you Noodles! Yes it's quite new feature of youtube that you can just paste a link to precise time.
