BENDING NOTES 101

Bending notes is another way to make a different sound from the harmonica. It takes a little practice but is really fun!

A tip: on the "OOOOOOO" vowel, don't have your tongue go down just a little bit.

Make your tongue drop suddenly to the bottom of your mouth, like it is on an express elevator on a hurry to get to the bottom of a building. Doing that, you should feel a sudden change in the pitch of the vowel and of where the airstream hits your tongue?

You should - that's what is going to make the bend for you.
