Hi David! I hope you are doing great. I have been practicing bends using tongue blocking... I can pucker bend waaay more easily but i'm making the switch to TB 100% for now. I have trouble with the draw 2 and 1 full bends. I can do it on the C harp tho. Any tips or suggestions for getting the bends on the lower register? Thanks.

Hello Norlo28. Keep at it,

Hello Norlo28. Keep at it, you'll get it. Here are some tips to help you along...

1) Slightly drop your jaw

2) Hump more of the back of your tongue, further back in your mouth

3) Make sure your tongue is humping high enough (experiment with "key" and "koo").

With all this said, be careful to not move too far back, you can blow past the sweet spot. Experiment, experiment, experiment.
