I have a new harmonica now and two draw is a total breeze, but three draw remains totally elusive to me. The only way I have been able to get it is, like it says here, at the end of a breath OR by plugging nose. I have tried every combination of angle and breath strength, tongue and teeth position possible. I'm not sure why everyone has such problems with two draw, but it sounds like the same trouble I'm having with three! Is this common or is it usually just two that people wrestle with? Also, I have trouble pulling my tongue back because I use it in a U shape to single out notes. Does the tongue need to be pulled back to achieve a successful three draw?
