Harmonica and bending?
I learned how to play using the U-block technique (came naturally), but I can not bend at all, and when I bend I a high-pitched squeal noise. Thus, my technique I switch to the pucker method to use and bend the U-block used for single or is it possible to bend with the Ublock?
A lot of sites tell you to redirect by changing your tongue by raising the back of it, pushing on your teeth, blah, blah. Never worked for me. I bow my throat muscles. I think it looks kind of like a frog croaking if you can imagine how their throats crammed. Anyway, as I bend this way I bow using the U-block, folds and the tongue-block method. That is important. When you cover your tongue-block 3 holes (usually) and play the fourth hole. You kind of flip the tongue over the three holes. Using your throat to bend, you can instantly turn the fourth hole. With practice you can hit your tongue down and catch the right corner then bend it back on course. Hope that this is not too confusing. That's how I do it. To begin with, the practice based on 1-4, 1-3 and play slap 4 out of the corner of your mouth. can then work on hole 4 turn after the crash. You can do this almost anywhere.
