Tongue blocking study #2
Sun, 02/21/2016 - 20:55
Dave I understand the slap technique/concept for blowing, but for drawing, does the the chord come first, and then the tongue block for a single note, or do you single note block first and then lift off to produce the chord, in a drawing maneuver.
Also for the lift it appears the sequence you are looking for is to start with a blow or draw chord chord, then slap the single note, then lift off the harmonica ending always in a draw chord for the lift. Is that correct?
Hello baruch. Yes, "the chord comes first, and then the tongue block for a single note," the same as the blow... no difference.
The lift can be a draw or blow chord, the direction of your air does not matter. The lift simply means you take your tongue off of the harmonica and play a chord.
