It is now, in module 2, that you will really start to differentiate yourself from the beginning harmonica players. The time has come to get out of the basics and improve your skills by practicing the bend of hole 2, which is one of the pillars of the Blues and the gateway to the most striking blues. It is a note that expresses a lot at the same time. It can be used both as a passing note, and to stay on it and emphasize that moment of the song. It is an extremely strong note, precisely because of the tension it causes, and because it is obtained through bending, it is not a natural note, only drawn. It is a note that leaves a certain tension in the air, that “prepares” for something. If you want to understand the theoretical part of this content, access the second part of the lesson.
