Hi David,

I'm having a hard time trying to bend the 4 draw while tongue blocking,
I can bend holes 1-2-3 quite comfortably, but not hole 4.
Do you have any idea why? Is there a certain trick - maybe a certain articulation needs to be done?

Thanx,

Jonathan.

You need to use more of the front of the tongue, further forward in the mouth (tuning your mouth to a higher pitch). "Ch" location works well.
