    That's it! That's the William Clarke tone I've been pursuing. I've been doing it but I didn't know "how" until now. Thanks Adam!

    Great video! Its amazing how you keep your pucker notes sounding just as airy as your tongue blocked notes.

    I’ve watched and played along for a couple of weeks now. I really like your style of teaching and you have taught me a lot already. I’ll keep trying my best. Thanks Adam

    As a blind musician, this lesson was music to my ears in so many different ways, finally, someone who knows how to teach this technique, on UA-cam, the right way, the easy way, the The common sense way… Thank you, I finally heard it and I’m going to get it

    Great lesson. To add, "big sound" does not just come from octaves. It is a effective way to sound big. Opening everything up and hand work...is also important. What amazed me in this lesson was at 10:55 - 11:05 Adam placed just a part of his hand in front of the harp and drastically changed his sound. I think he opened up his oral cavity a bit as well. It just shows how a small changed of one thing can effect the whole sound immensely and make it sound bigger. Thanks again Adam!

    Do you have a video on playing through the 12 bar chord changes with this approach?

    "... but really you need the A for the big clattering kind of sound". I a can tell as for sound C harmonica is sharper than A, but what's the reason for A being more adequate for octave playing? I listened to a lot of third position in C sounding really 'big'. I really missed your in-car lessons, Adam, glad your back

    Like & Favorite! That way, I can easily find this for review. Great lesson. I already use some tongue-blocked octaves, but this really wakes up the possibilities and energy. Thanks, yet again!

I was suss she was playing with many sounds (sic)..but I kinda let it go coz she played my own harp which can play like a zertec on steroids. But now I keen to tung block lip purse and share the majic that only us pro pied pipers can.
