Hello David,

I've started on Solo Harmonica 3 and in Section 1 (Chording), Ex. 1.1, I have a question on the (5)/4 combo note. Are you lip puckering or tongue-blocking it? Are you lip pursing or tongue-blocking the 5-draw to begin that chord? Let me know.

Thanks!

Dutch

I am tongue blocking everything in that example. Ex. 1 is the most challenging example of the entire list... take your time with it!
