Ronnie!!!!
2:45 very good point
Thanks Liam. Your such an amazing teaching! I also love your paid course for beginners. It's highly recommended.
Interesting. After you explainedthe "push" concept I was able to play tongue block bends right away. Thanks!
This is the best example as I have heard. Good good.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Liam's, you are a great teacher, thanks a million this is exactly what I needed to understand more clearly.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this, I’ve been struggling with this for quite a while but I’m starting to make progress now
Happy to help!
Very useful, many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Liam, very good video, I like it! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much this helped me a lot thank you
You're welcome!
Great video
Thanks Lindsey!
This is something I still struggle with. That's why I am kind off a hybrid player between Tongue Blocking and Puckering. Thanks, Liam!
Thank you very much.Very nice.I always respect and bow you with my heart and my soul.I always salute you with my respect and my love.My lovely teacher legend brother😍🙏
Thanks so much
Thanks for the tips! I've been dominantly using the tongue block embouchure since one of the first laces I watched videos from low-key condemned it, but I'd been puckering in order to work on bending. I'll probably keep doing it that way until I get the basics down, but it's good to know that there is a way to bend while tongue blocking
No worries Jonah, best of luck!
Thanks a lot for this demo but it's not easy to accomplish for an old beginner as me but who knows after a while of practicing :-)
Thanks Liam! This topic is not covered very often - so I appreciate it much!
When tongue-block bending, do you also do a sideways motion with the middle part of the tongue, or is the movement only perpendicular to the harp?
Tongue blocking video vibrato please 🙏
I can easily bend lower notes TB, but on those bends, which I get (lip pursing) with the tip of my tongue, I have a problem.
i use curled tongue blocking, because it is easy for me to get clear clean notes that way. i can bend fine when puckering, but not at hitting clean notes. I can't seem to bend at all when using tongue curling though. I'm still fairly new though. should I just retrain myself to use puckering, or are there good techniques for bending using tongue curling?

Hi Ricardo, I sell the t-shirts and can ship them worldwide. You can view the store at learntheharmonica-merch-store.creator-spring.com/?
Here’s a question about tongue blocking: what do you do for holes 1 and 2? Tongue blocking makes sense for holes 4 and up (and to some degree 3) but I feel like my whole mouth is off of the harp trying to tongue block on hole 1 and hole 2 isn’t much better and also terribly inaccurate and I end up drawing on hole 3 instead. Do people tongue block on the lower holes or switch to pursing?
This is a great question! Different players have their own approach - some switch to pursing, some do a narrowed block, and some even do a reverse block (switching the tongue to block the higher notes). I do a mix of all of them depending on context!
Fuuuuck. I’ve been trying to do this for years. I could aways do the low notes but not higher ones. Just did the 4 note on a D for the first time ever. You broke through to my larynx. Watched loads of lessons before. Still can’t bend it far as far as puckering but it’s still a breakthrough. Does it take loads of practice too to get the muscle strength?
I also need to push the harmonica further into my mouth and to the side for it to work deeper.
On the 3rd I can get 4 notes out it puckering but blocking is so much harder, but it’s coming. It must be muscle strength too. Now I’ve had this breakthrough I’ll want to play loads more again. Nice one fella. Thanks!
So glad my lesson helped you! Yes it may take a long time, but I believe in you and by taking this first step you've proved that you can do it. Well done!
Im suffering,i have a harmonica in C,i have been trying bending in number 4,but when I try bending it sounds C5😢
It's hard to picture what he is talking about unless he can demonstrate the action.
