In no Sweat Chorus 6, I'm finding it challenging at high speed tongoing from the draw 1 with tongue blocking to the right to the draw 2 with tongue blocking to the left.  It's much easier on the chromatic to just slide to the left of the harmonica on the draw one and keep your tongue to the left.  What do most pro chromatic players do?

Hello bparnetta. Sliding with the tongue to the left for hole 1 is fine. Players use a mix of approaches, so this is fine if you feel it works well.
