As blues harmonica payers we spend a lot of time on low harmonicas. We get used to using more of the back of our tongue and when it's time for us to play a D Harmonica or above it can be challenging to make the transition to using more of the front-middle of the tongue for these higher harmonicas. When this happens, remember the Shee-Kee-Koo exercise in the Bending Study #1 lesson... this is very helpful in the refinement of your bends.
