Hi, I've been learning to play the harmonica for a while now, and I'm learning how to bend. Thing is, to bend I have to control my tongue position, but I'm stuck with a condition called "Tongue tie" (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tongue-tie/symptoms-causes/syc-20378452), and I would like to ask if there's a workaround for that? Should I keep on learning?

Bending - But

Kurofox:

I don't know how often David visits the "General" forum.

If you post your question to the Ask Instructor David Barrett forum (second tab from the bottom), David is very quick to reply.
