Sorry Iceman, I knew you were replying, but I had a momentary lapse of mental faculty and came to with a foot in my mouth.

Me, I prefer the "ta"

I think with me, this was something I learned in band when I was a kid. We were 

taught to make stacatto notes with a click of the tongue. I was learning to play 

harmonica at the same time, so it naturally carried over. 

So that's how I became a "ta, ta" man.

Here's a question (probably dumb one but anyways...)

I've been playing now for nearly six years, mostly blues, and have  recently 

begun to record myself to go back and review to see what I could do  better.  

I've been in the habit of tongue blocking and articulating  notes with a 

tongue slap.  Listening to it, I can tell that it is kind of a  mushy attack on 

single note playing and not a good sound a lot of times for what  I am doing.  

The question....  Is the best attack on a single  note the "ta" using the tongue 





or "ka" coming from the throat?....what's the  most common?  I know this 

isn't an exciting topic but thanks for the  help.... I don't want to be a sloppy 





player.
