In the song “You Don’t Know How It Feels” Tom plays this mini solo at 2:08. It’s in the key of A and it’s fairly simple but I can’t seem to get those last notes he plays right tone wise. It sounds like he is tongue blocking but I am not sure! If someone could help me that’d be greatly appreciated.

Ack!! Great question. That sneaky guy changed harp keys on us!
In the intro, he’s playing first position on an E Harmonica.
In this section, he’s definitely playing second position on an a Harmonica:
Kinda sounds like
-5(dirty, a little -6) 5 -4 4 -4 3 -1 -1’ -1
or
-5(dirty, a little -6) 3 -3 4 -4 3 -1 -1’ -1
Anyways, the last note that you’re talking about there is him bending down the -1 He is definitely NOT tongue blocking!!!
Thank you so much!! Works perfectly. Just need to get the timing down properly, but I am glad you clarified about the last note; it’s quite hard to tell what he was doing because of all the other instruments.
