Hi David, I'm really struggling with the tremolo on draw notes and was wondering if you could offer any advice?
thanks

Hello Grant.
Perform your blow tremolo without your harmonica, focusing on hearing that it's your throat (not tongue) creating the separation in breath.
Relax.
Do the same inhaling, not changing anything except the fact that you've changed the direction of your air... same throat muscles (your vocal folds).
Now grab your harmonica and do the same thing. Start with blow on an easy hole for you to play (I like 1+).
Relax.
Do the same for the draw, maybe even with the harmonica slightly out of your mouth so that you have less load on your airstream... half air and half playing the 1 draw.
