I can't recall having read that anywhere...
How do you accentuate notes (in the way of 'tata' when LP) with TB?
What I do at the moment is to cough the notes. However, this does not allow the tonal differences that you get with tongue-accentuation when LP...

Using tongue blocking that would be a syncopating chord. After you slap-tongue a chord to get a single note lift your tongue off the harp and say tata. A blow tata after a blow chord and a draw tata after draw chord then slap your tongue back down on the harp and your in position to do it again. It's a nice effect that adds extra beats to what you're playing. As for single note articulation, I have to use the lip pursing method to double and triple tongue single notes properly and think most everybody else does too but if there's anybody on the forum who can articulate single notes using tongue blocking, please chime in.

Just searched the forum. Should have done that before...
In the thread "Poll Question for Tongue Blockers" Shaneboylan sais:
" Use the side of your tongue - takes a bit of practice - but when you hear how well SBII can articulate those "t's" in his recordings it's worth practicing! "
I will check that out.
