Hi David,
This site is pretty amazing. Thanks for putting together all this content!
I was interested to learn that you use/prefer tongue blocking even while bending the 2 hole draw. My question is related to how you're positioning your mouth relative to the harmonica while doing 2 hole draws and bends. Is it similar to tongue blocking the higher holes, where you just have your tongue on the comb to the left of the 2 hole, blocking the 1 hole?
Thanks!
Thank you fonzerelli, I'm glad you're enjoying your studies. You are correct, you'll want to place your tongue to the left, blocking hole 1 and some of the comb to the left (you want your mouth as large as possible). The only time you commonly block the holes to the right is when you play hole 1.
