Bending Dirty Notes
Mon, 12/14/2015 - 21:42
David,
I am looking for help in tongue block bending dirty notes like the 3 and 4 together (3 full bend 4 half step bend). I can bend single notes fine but every time I try adding the 4 it just sounds airy and I lose the total bend. Any suggestions or videos on the site would be appreciated.

Seems to have helped...
To say I can master this easy is a long shot, but it does seem to work when I really focus on it. Thank you so much for the help. Happy New Year! I appreciate your guidance and what you do for the harmonica loving community.
God Bless...

Thank you for your kind words
Thank you for your kind words and Happy New Year to you as well.
Hello Anthony. Play a 3" a couple of times, focusing on your tongue location and bending motion. Add the 4', increasing your air a tad to compensate for the fact that you're playing another hole, and do the same bending motion as you did for the 3". Give this a try over a couple of days of practice and report back.
