I can't do it either, which is bad cause I play a lot of musicals and musicals almost ALWAYS call for flutter tonguing. Last year I played "Seussical, the Musical," and there is an absolutely stunning...

I think that you need a certain gene to be able to roll your R's and thus flutter tongue. Some people can't roll their R's, and that has nothing to do with lack of playing ability. Are you able to...

Rick, I was going to PM you with this but thought that it might help others who also have a problem flutter tounging, if I post it here. I don't have a problem flutter tonguing in any register. And,...

KamikazeKid - Thanks for the tutorial. It's not something I'd ever had a problem with but it certainly never occured to me that it could also be done without the horn!! That's a great way of...

Jimmy, Thanks for the suggestion - that is exactly what I was looking for. No chance to try it yet - got a bunch of legit Holy Week stuff to do this week first, and my day job limits the time I have...
