      Hey Jay, that’s the “flutter tongue”. different from the growl altho can be used together for extra nastiness.
      The growl is used a lot more and you hardly hear many play then together, I do occasionally…like on tequila.
      to do the flutter just roll your tongue, rrrrrrrrr like you hear some people speaking in several foreign languages.
      I’ve taught it successfully to some and others simply can’t roll the R’s with their tongue. so…
      see if you can do it first just with your mouth then if so apply it to your mouthpiece.
      You should blow extra hard but once you get it you’ll be able to play it far longer than just a few seconds.

            @Jay – when you practice flutter tongue, try it out on any tune, just to get used to it.
            here’s a flutter tongue practice i uploaded last year, not proud of it. Just used it to further
            develop it.

                  sx, ya you got it goin….but it’s more of an effect for a rockin kinda tune in my opinion, not a ballad.

                    Exactly Johnny, all these techniques have their place.

                    However when you are learing and practicing them, doesn’t
                    matter what tune you pick, providing its an easy tune to
                    play and you can concentrate fully on the flutter.

                    Shazam? i’ll have to look that one up.
