Articulation

Manny,

I've been having problems with articulation. Mostly in the upper register, how can I achieve that crisp clear articulation up there? Right now it's on the heavier side and almost 'fracky'. Range and endurance are actually some of my strong points, so I don't think it's that I'm tryin to articulate at the top of my range. *sigh* It's just all very frustrating in the practice room when I try to figure it out, y'know?

Also, what could I do to lighten up my articulation as a whole in all registers?

I recorded the masterclass you gave a few years ago down here at TxTech, and I could've sworn that this issue came up in a question, but I went back and reviewed the tape and noone asked you about this.

Thanks for you help on this!

- Brad
