I was thinking of the aperture as just the outside red part rather than the full lips. I was using a lip curl on the top lip even in the staff and as I tried to compress the lips to play higher, the chops had a tendency to stop vibrating all together. I definitely had an \"aha\" moment and playing breakthrough over the weekend.\u003cbr\u003eI've said it before and I'll say it again, \"You are a genius,\" and a generous genius at that. I will keep you posted on the progress.\u003cbr\u003eBlessings,\u003cbr\u003eBill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI just finished your \"How the Chops Work\" book and wanted to let you know how much it helped. Your description and pictures of the aperture tunnel caused a change in my way of thinking that instantly made things much easier. By concentrating on making a longer tunnel and backing off the pressure, the notes I had trouble with speak clearly, and it doesn't take nearly the effort I'd been using.I have most of your other books, but I found this one to be the best of the bunch.Good job.\u003cbr\u003eThanks,\u003cbr\u003eScott\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clint McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106653454576,"sku":"2940032802532","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940032802532_p0.jpg?v=1763641575","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940032802532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
