Unfortunately, there is nothing magic. You have to practice until it is ok.
I recommend to attack the note with the toungue systematically (pronounce
"de" or di, ti, te ... whatever implies a toungue attack).
It will oblige you to go directly to the note. Of course, at first it will
be false.
I also recommend to practice major scales. If you work C, F and G major
scales for example, you will use 2'', 2', 2, 3'', 3', 3 in different kind of
combinations.
We have a very natural sense of the major scale so you will hear easily when
you are not exactly right, and when you hear the problem, you can correct
it.
Good luck and keep on working !

Hi Guys thanks for all help and advice so far,
Ok i need some help with the bent notes namley hole 1 2 3 i can bend all
these notes no problem on their own both up and down the problem is when i
move from hole to hole for instance. 

3" to 2' to 3'to 2" i cant seem to hit what i have heard refered to as the
"money note" i have practised and practised and still finding it difficult
to move around these bent notes correctly.

I have no problem achieving these bends the problem occurs when i move from
one hole to the other
 

Do any of you guys have and practise tips or exercises i can do to help me
achieve hitting these bends on the money each time.

Cheers Guys
Graham.
