It's kind of hard for me to get the side-flutter to sound good, like at the beginning of Skeet a Little Taste, but I find that if I place my tongue for an octave, then do a shake with my head, I get more or less the effect sought for.  Is this an acceptable way of doing it?

 

Thank you

I have not heard of anyone doing it that way, but if it sounds good to you go for it!
