    Great tune one of the first fast fiddle tunes I almost can conquer! Now to attack it on the harmonica! Maybe put it in a rack and play fiddle and harmonica ? NOT!
    Hope you are getting better each day.

    That was really nice! I'm a pucker player and don't tongue block anything but a few octaves and splits and not many of those. But I think I could do this with some work. Thanks for the video!

    Good video on a difficult harp technique. Did you produce it the day before your accident Richard?

    I have been using blues-style tongue-blocking since the last millennium, but this tongue-switching technique opens a whole new world for me...thanks!

  • @RAkers-tu1ey
    @RAkers-tu1ey Рік тому

    Very informative. I have a "wet mouth" and real problem with the tongue blocking I have tried. Pucker playing is manageable, but a bit limiting. Thoughts? I mean, besides eating Alum?

      Try tilting the back of the harp slightly upwards and keep your head upright.
