I am working on Temperature, but having problems with hole 2 draw notes.  Is it OK to sub 3 blow, or do you suggest I keep working on the 2 draw??  At some points, it also seems beneficial to sub 3 blow to help with breathing.  Thanks.

Hello dawmd512. The 2 draw is

Hello dawmd512. The 2 draw is difficult to play, and now is the time to face it. Watch the video on this page http://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq titled "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!" So in this case, no, don't substitute it. Yes, down the road it's wise to think about the 3+ when needed. Keep it up, you'll get it!
