Whistling (Lesson 7) - Summing Up

David Barrett Admin's picture

How many Tips of the Day have we had on bending so far... I lost count... there's tons of them! Why is this so? It's one of our most challenging techniques performed on the harmonica. If you had the mistaken impression that harmonica is easy to play, then this technique will set your straight! Use the knowledge you've gained from understanding the physics of bending all the way to where the tongue is located in your mouth and what part of the tongue humps up for each pitch found in each hole for bending. Add to this the patience and tenacity that it takes to play the harmonica well and you're on your way!
