Re: [Harp-L] U Blocking

[Cara Cooke <cyberharp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have always called what I do "channeling" since I use my tongue to 
"channel" air into the notes I want (almost as if my tongue were a straw). 
It is also apparently another application of a U-block. Using variations on 
this technique, I can get double stops and single notes as I need them at 
fast tempos so that I can keep up with the fiddle, mandolin, and banjo 
players. The technique also switches well with some puckers and 
tongue-blocking (depending upon the player, of course).
