Hi David 

In solo study 3  1.5   1 2"  1"  2"  1 I can't get that up and down rhythm sound  When you do it. I'm trying  tongue  switching 

( T. S. ) and puker  and  ( ko) on 2" 

 

 

Thanks  Harplayer

Hello Harplayer. I assume you mean Bar 1 with 1 2" 1 2" 1. I can do both, though pucker for hole 1 and TB for hole 2 is what I've done the longest, so that's how I commonly do it. If you normally TS for hole 1, keep doing it that way. In this case, no tongue block exclusive techniques are used, so pucker is an option here if you prefer to do it that way.
