i am working on the song Temperature. I am sure this has been asked before .  When I am doing the 2 draw I think the note is bending . Is it ok to pucker or should I just keep working at it .

enjoying your lessons sorry if this has been covered before.

Hello Lorne. Yeah,

Hello Lorne. Yeah, unfortunately this is a common issue for players (with both embouchures), Tongue block that 2 draw. Go to https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq and watch the video titled "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!" Good luck with this... it will come with time and practice.
