Bending a note

This is an attempt at demonstrating note bending with the harmonica. It is achieved by moving your tongue at the base of your mouth into a deep curved position and then to a flat position. This alters the speed at which the air moves over the aperture which affects the air speed over the reeds, or so i believe.



Below is a link to a video where other explain how to achieve note bending:

Lately i have put very little time into the harmonica, a mixture of work, rallying and other things that had to be done. i have however, found a few opportunities with and without the harmonica to practice bending. I will attempt another podcast of how ti sounds. I am still have a little difficultly in matching the sounds I make with an "F" harmonica when most demos are done with a "C". So i have bitten the bullet and ordered another harmonica in "C" and hope that gives me better feedback on how i ma doing
