Ok, never mind. It looks like Floyd's Hotel, Shuffle blues, Stomping then the 4hole draw bend. Correct if I'm wrong, thanks

I've always used tongue blocking but it looks like Adam is using lip puckering for the Beginners Special lessons, Does it matter which I use?

Personally, I don’t think I’d go back to puckering if I was already tongue blocking. AG just plays that way, so he teaches that way. I’m trying to remember those lessons. I did them all back in the day, but the day is getting to be a good while ago. I think it’s about timing and movement and following the changes ie counting the beat. I was already pretty well up on the changes but he teaches some good habits in those lessons about staying in touch with the beat. I don’t think the choice of embouchure is gonna make too much difference, unless you have to revert to pucker for bends.

Thanks, I didn't think it would matter, just wanted to see what someone else thought. I do like the way he holds the harmonica though, I get a better seal with my small hands.
