Dear David,

How do you not run out of breath on the examples 2.1 and onwards? The constant inhaling is quite difficult for me.

Thanks

Hello Aren. Here are some

Hello Aren. Here are some tips for you...

1) Exhale before you start (as much as you can)

2) Play softer

3) Make sure your nose is closed on the draw notes (see here for reference https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq "I run out of breath so easily!")

4) A more advanced technique, but an important one to master over time... open your nose on your blow notes
