Gary's Blues chorus 2, long blowing
Thu, 01/27/2022 - 12:24
In this chorus, there is a long series of blows. One solution is to break the long G and breathe, but I'd rather sustain it. Is it ok to breath through the nose during the only draw notes B D ?
I have struggled to NOT use my nose during draw notes. Now should I unlearn it when useful?
I could also revert the 3+ before to 2 draws (and draw the pulls, too).
Or take a longer breath at the bar 3, but it feels forced, I'm not sure why.
Hello ÉricD. Those are all good options... choose which feels best to you. And yes, you do want to open the nose on purpose... it's our best way to breathe as we play. Check out the lesson on breathing for more info (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/breathing_harmonica).
