"Speed Lick"

David...Been studying the " Minor Mambo", Gary Smith artist submission and have a couple questions on the 7th chorus....
a) Are you tongue blocking when articulating the lick?;

b) Although you cover the basic principles of the lick; @ specific note arraignment;
slight movement of the harp; and, slight jaw movement, are there any other practice
techniques that you may pass on that will help me to play that passage?

At present, I have been practicing the lick backwards and forwards.....what I mean is, starting say on the 5
draw and moving to the 4 draw bent...my tendency is to add a note by playing the 4 draw instead of going
right into the bend..

Tenacity!!!! Yes, I get it!!!! Just checking in...Thanks!!!!
