Message: <blockquote data-quote="cannonballer" data-source="post: 67788" data-attributes="member: 1112"><p>I have had the same problem that you have just described for a really long time, but recently I figured out what works for me. Try humming a note (besides the note that you are playing) and blowing air at the same time. It feels very strange at first, but if you practice it for 5-10 minutes a day for a week, im pretty sure you will start to get the hang of it. You just gotta spend some time messing around with it!</p><p>Good luck!</p><p>-jake</p></blockquote><p></p>
