I have watched YouTube videos,where Sonny Boy and Rick Estrin do this trick.They stick the harp to their mouth and the play as good as playing it normally.How do they do that?I know they are tongue blocking,but it seems as they move the harp with theis jaws.I have tried to do it but without much luck.I can only play a chord or two and 1 blow/draw and 4blow/draw.Do they play the harp in an appropriate angle?What notes can be played this way?I believe,holes 1-5.Has anyone done it?I'm a begginner,I only play for 2 years.I know how to tongue block,I'm mostly a tongue blocker,but I use both techniques.

Rick Estrin describes how to do this technique in his video 'Rick Estrin reveals secrets subtleties and tricks of the blues harmonica'.
The video has some other great stuff in it too, much more useful than the harp in the mouth trick.
Big Walter used to do it too, and Sonny Boy Wiliamson also played with his nose.
