Grampa Jack's Top 100 Requested Harmonica Songs
Lesson Three
How To Use Your Tongue

Most beginners puff from their lungs for each syllable or number. It is much better to use your tongue to break up the syllables and produce rhythm. Try whispering "Taa-Taa-Taa-Taa" through your harmonica into any hole. Just use one gentle steady blow but break up its rhythm with your tongue. Now vary your rhythm pattern much like the old Morse Code. Whisper, "Daa-dit-daa-dit-daa-dit".

When you are playing a song use your tongue to form the words. In fact, try to pronounce the lyrics to the song through your harmonica. Think of it as "singing" through your instrument. It will improve your playing tremendously.
