Hello David;

I am just starting with level 2.

I would like to know if we need to block the right holes with the cheek as a default way of playing or just when getting ready to Wa Wa.

Thanks;

Steve

Hello Steve. Just for the Wa

Hello Steve. Just for the Wa Wa or when you're playing amplified and you want a very bassy tone.
