Harmonica Tongue Blocking - Bringing it altogether (1)

Blues harmonica lesson about Tongue Blocking. Lee Sankey shows you how to start bringing together the techniques covered in his harmonica tongue blocking series so far. Lee uses a simple cross position riff that incorporates tongue blocked single notes, bends and intervals.

You need a C diatonic harmonica to play along.

..Also, TBing to the left of the hole feels to me like throwing a ball left handed (im right) while to the right it is much more comfortable with much better bend control. Should I focus on one side to start? And If I stick with TBing to the right is playing upside down like do you a benefit? Thanks again and I'm excited for this book to come out.

Thanks for another great vid Lee, these have really helped me out. I finally started bending tounge blocking on the first 3 holes with accuracy, and quite by accident, after a month long break from practicing the technique. Looking back I belive this is because I began to move the bending "engine", like you explained, further back in my throat to get a bigger sound while lip pursed. This resulted in the control needed to TB bend, and a happy suprise when I expected the same old results.
