Tongue Blocking

David: Do you TB everything in your lessons? For example, Gary's Blues and Take it Easy Now..... are they TOTALLY TB in your demonstrations? When you play the 1 or 2 draw holes, particularly bent, to you move your tongue to the right, to play the 1 and 2? I find it easier to play the 1 and 2 with my tongue to the left. On the 3 draw bends, do you (or even can you) play each of the bends TB? Just want to have a strong direction to focus my effort on. Thanks. Tim
Hello Tim. Yes, I tongue block everything in the lessons, including all the bends. Hole 2 you should keep your tongue to the left, so keep doing that.
Hole 1 you have some options... keep your tongue on the left like you've been doing... take your tongue off (since there's nothing to block... I do this a lot)... move your tongue to the right (I also do this depending on the passage).
