Good but what about u-blocking? Norton Buffalo used this style. You can pull your tongue back to do some articulation or you can go to tongue blocking if needed. No one talks about this style of playing.

@tnysteph Well not everyone can do the U-tongue thing. My tongue just won't do it but my wife and some of my kids can. If you can do it and want to add that to you repertoire then you should.

That fart was a little squeaker. lol

[Mueleski]

@troyS307 Its been officially declared as a chair squeak!

0:54 Did you fart?

[Mueleski]

@AkKid907 I had to go back and listen to what you were talking about, I did notice a sound around the time you listed which I'm not sure what it was--maybe the chair I'm sitting on. I'm sure it wasn't a fart or it would have been about an octave lower tone and would have been of a longer duration!
