low draw notes
Mon, 08/22/2016 - 06:49
I am thoroughly enjoying the blues harmonica lessons so far, though I am relatively new. I am having problems with the low draw notes on any of my three Hohner harps (C, A, D). I can get soft draw notes on holes one or two only if puckering, but not with tongue block. Any suggestions?
Hello dawmd512, I'm glad you're enjoying your studies. This is a common problem, and you can find out more information here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq on the first video listed "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!"
Make sure that the middle and back of your tongue are lowered in your mouth. Most likely when you're tongue blocking your raising this area. Experiment, it will take a little bit of time.
