I am in no place to play for about 24 hrs so I just want to ask:
So on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxMCTwtMfL8
The Guitar is playing G right? And we play
G G G G (2d, 2d, 2d, 2d)
C C G G (4b, 4b, 2d ,2d)
D C G D (4d, 4b, 2d, turnaround)
So instead of noodling on the 2d over and over for those G's and noodling on the 4b over and over for the C's, can I make it sound OK by playing something like (these random licks in Harmonica For Dummies on 2nd Position):
2d 3d 4d 5b x4
4b 5b 5d 5b x2 / 2d 3d 4d 5b x2
4d 5b 5d/5d 5b / 4b 5b 5d 5b 2d / 2d 3d 4d 5b / 2d 1ddd
Because I am kind of drinking and thinking maybe this is how things are formulated. As of now, I am only just chugging along to 2d on G, 4b on C, and 4d on D, but maybe those are just the notes I can start playing some riffs on. Makes sense right now to me.
Halp?

Pretty much.
All those notes seem to work ok. And they give a decent sense of the chord movement because they begin with the root note of the relevant chord. 2draw is G, 4 blow is C and 4draw is D, so you really understand “we’ve changed chords here”
It’s a good exercise
Timing and rhythm you can play around with.

Awesome! I can always count on you Bee.
I think I am starting to get things more and more. I mean I am reading them in this Harmonica For Dummies but but a lot of it is going in one ear and out the other, except with my eyes....if that makes sense lol.
