I just printed out solo harmonica 3 and have been playing my blues which is working out pretty good ( been working on it since Jan ) with that being said I am having issues with split tounge to play 1and 4 or 2 and 5 holes is there a leaaon or lessons I missed that teach this and were would I find it ?? I am also find 1.1 in solo harp 3 the 5 (54) kind of hard but also just started yesterday so maybe I skipped something dont know ?? Having a great time with the lessons . Thank you

Hello wahoo. Octaves are

Hello wahoo. Octaves are taught in Tongue Block Study 4. You can also find it in Tongue Block Studies 1 and 2.5. You’re right that it’s in the study song, but I didn’t “Officially” teach it yet. For this reason, I don’t grade you on the octaves in the L5. Sorry for the vagueness.

Yes, SH3 is very challenging. Don’t take them in order... pick the one you think is cool, and close to your level, and use that for the test.
