Hi David,

I am a complete novice and am struggling with the tongue bend, I find the blow is not great but ok however the draw is awful.

When I draw I just seem to choke on my tongue and block all the air, I wondered if you have a tips cheers.

Hello ryan_glasspool. How

Hello ryan_glasspool. How long have you been playing? I don't usually teach a student how to bend until they have about four to six months under their belt... it takes time to develop good technique with tongue blocking.

Assuming you have some time under your belt... let's discuss...

Blow bends are only performed on holes 7 through 10... are you saying you were having better luck with those high bends?
