Tongue Humping Exercises?????
Wed, 02/10/2021 - 15:19
Hi David,
You're probably sick of my complaining aboiut not getting the bends, but ... I don't seem to be able to (or don't recognize) hump my tongue while drawing breath and blocking with my tongue gently on the back of my teeth. Are there other exercises that might be more effective than trying to inhale while Shhh Keee Koooing? I can get the exact pitch change you've demonstrated, but it doesn't translate to a consistent, tone worthy bend. The draw bends I get could never be incorporated into a level 3 song.
Thanks.

Hello Phil. I'm not sick of the questions... I'm here to help. I don't have other exercises, but Winslow might. Ask your question to Winslow on his part of the forum (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/forums/ask_harmonica_expert_winslow_yerxa), he might have some more ideas.
