Todd Parrott mentioned me doing this. Right after he said he could do one/four split overblow. I wanna see that Todd. I'm not even close.
In 2nd position blues, the 6ob/7blow double stop gives you the flat 7 under root of IV chord. Great in first position too. I use in one chord blues in first for flat 7/root.
I hit it at 1:05 here and don't get it in tune until it's almost over.lol...As you know an OB needs slight bend up to be in tune. Another issue if you are not careful is accidentally blow bending the 7 a little bit. Tricky but it is getting better.
Some harps I can get a double stop with two OBs like 5/6..but not found a use.
I know some traditionalists could care less about all this, but I find the physics, limits, and abilities of player/harp interesting. The old blues guys had their tricks.
Innovate and experiment. Modern Blues Harmonica is forever changing.
You got it.. I like that sound. I'm not sure I care for this track or even the context.. (it is just not my thing...)
But, for sure you just pulled off a very difficult technique... It is similar to what a keyboard player will do on the high end playing an inverted 7th chord.
Well done.. now I gotta see if I can do it.. (Highly doubtful..) ---------- Greg Jones 16:23 Custom Harmonicas greg@1623customharmonicas.com 1623customharmonicas.com
I said "Inverted" but what I meant was when the keyboard plays a dom 7th next to the left of the root... Voicing is C E G Bb C or more likely E G Bb C
Maybe I'm off on this, but to me it sort of sounds like the chord is implied by hitting the 6 OB and the 7 blow... 1 step in between them but gives that musical tension ---------- Greg Jones 16:23 Custom Harmonicas greg@1623customharmonicas.com 1623customharmonicas.com
