Hi Chris, first off I'm new to the site and love it and your approach to teaching.  In my quest of musicianship away from finger gymnastics and tabaholisim I was wondering if it...

Tongue blocking has a lot to do with creating that impression of 2 harps. Just remember, if any of this was really difficult, I couldn't do it!
