Hello,

   In 1.3, 1.8, and 1.11 are you usung a tongue block to the R or a pucker.

Same question on 1.5 when in the first measure you switch from the 3 note

chordw to the 1,2 eigth note draws into the +2, +3, +2 triplet.

Thank you very much,

Alan

Hello Alan. You will

Hello Alan.

You will approach these in the same way you play "Walk with Me," in your Tongue Block Study 1 lesson. For holes 2 through 10 you tongue block with your tongue to the left, and for hole 1, you play with your tongue to the right (unless you've decided to pucker after hearing the common approaches to playing hole 1 in Chorus 2 of the (Walk with Me").

For the first three beats of Ex. 1.5 you will play with your tongue off of the harmonica (pucker) and then tongue block beat 4.
