David's Tip of the Day: Rocker, Chorus 6 (AAB) by Little Walter

The last line of this chorus foretells the first four measures of the following chorus. As with previous choruses, which used rhythmic breathing, make sure your exhale chords are soft and fall directly on the beat. Though the result is soft, the technique is not. Use a “ts” articulation for the blow chords, having your lips placed very softly on the face of the harmonica, with the sides of your lips off the harmonica to allow air to escape (very similar to the steam train imitation on the harmonica… the steam portion). The percussive “ts” exhale, combined with air escaping from the sides of your mouth, is what makes this rhythmic breathing take shape. Play this area slowly to make sure you have all of the elements notated.
