In your recent tip of the day you mentioned the side-pull. I understand what you have written down, but I have no idea what it should sound like. Any soundbite, please?

It sounds like a soft TA... but a bit more mouthy. I'll make note to include this in a future lesson...

Man, you're good!

Yes, with the added fact that you want to make your mouth/embouchure as small and whinny as possible for that one... it makes it sound super-cool.
