Hi David! I hope you are doing great!My name is Norlo and I'm from Córdoba Argentina. I have been playing harmonica for a couple of years (and guitar for many years). I know all my music theory as well.My first teacher taught me how to play everything puckering: bends, scales, even a llittle bit of overblows. I can do tongue splits/octaves, a little bit of slaps, etc. No vibrato tho. I also play chromatic a bit and my former teacher taught me tango and jazz. Mostly using puckering technique except from togue splits. I have already learnt the Tongue Blocking study #1 and I started with the first chromatic harmonica study song #1 which I believe is more advanced.Should I submit the TB Study #1 recorded on video so I can get some critique from you and the forum community? Also, it is possible that i can submit the chromatic harmonica tune played with pucker technique? I'm adapting well to tongue blocking on the diatonic but it feels really awkard on the chromatic since I studied lots of scales and the jazz tunes using the pucker thing.Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance!
Got it! Will record the first etude soon!Thanks a lot!
Hello Norlo28, welcome to the site. Go ahead and submit TB Study 1 on the actual lesson page... I prefer audio. For the chromatic, definitely play it 100% in a tongue block (though you can pucker hole 1). Blues chromatic is a tongue block style, so stick to tongue blocking (it will make you a more diverse player... you'll benefit from using both embouchures well). I'll look forward to your first submission when you're ready.
