Hi David,

I'm starting with the 6th chorus of the Take It Easy Now and I wonder, at which points am I supposed to exhale. Should I play everythng from the pickup at the 4th bar to the end of the 8th bar with one breath, or can I exhale somewhere, e.g. after the 2 draw in the 5th bar?

Thank you,

Marek

Hello Marek. Exhale through

Hello Marek. Exhale through your nose on the 6 blow in bar 11 of the previous chorus. Then the 9+ in bar 2 of the 6th chorus. This is the most common way of balancing your breath on the harmonica, to breathe through your nose while you play.
