Hi Dave

In the video with Joe.T. when showing the speed Lick. Not sure what to use. Do u slide back n forth on the 6+ 6 7
7+ or Tongue block with " Hull " each note. you said slide in the video if I remember right. T.B. is not as efficient ?

Thanks Harplayer

No articulation... just breathe here... one breath for the 6 and 7 as well. Pucker and TB are the same speed, no difference.
