organ padding harmonica harp tongue blocking

One of the coolest sounds of the amplified harmonica is that of the flutter tongue (lesson in Tongue Block Study 3). Grab your organ blues (Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Jack McDuff, etc.) and listen to when they hold a long note combination and you'll hear that Leslie Tone Cabinet spinning, creating a sound very similar to our flutter tongue (especially the 5 draw flutter). See if you can mimic the sound of the organ in your playing... especially accompaniment playing.
