From 1:26 to 1:30, when the harmonica (and camera inside it) enters the mouth, notice how the player drops his jaw to make room for the harmonica and lowers his tongue slightly... this is the position you want to be in while playing... and most likely having the tongue in the middle-back lowered a bit more... this is an area that can cause trouble on the 2 draw. More to come...
