Hi Aleksander
It is good to be proficient at the "tongue blocking" and the "pucker" methods of playing harmonica, I myself am only good at using the tongue blocking method for everything that I play. I am assuming that you use the pucker method only.
The method for bending notes when tongue blocking is the same as it is for pucker except you must keep your tongue on the harmonica, this can be a bit difficult at first if you are not used to it,
I met a very good harp player in Detroit once and he told me that I would never be any good if I didn’t learn to play using the pucker method, I found this quite upsetting because I found the pucker method so difficult. I found out later that it is wrong to promote one method only, as he was doing, because both methods have their pros and cons.
Hope this helps Seamus
