loudog is an unknown quantity at this point
I like playing lip bends...starting on a G, bending to an F#, then back up, then down to an F, then back up, then down to an E, and so on...I go down a perfect fourth, then I do it all on F#, then i do it all on F, and so on until I get to low C.

My lips feel GREAT after that! My goal is to bend slowly, evenly, and hold on the lower pitch for a while. I try to make the timbre of the all the pitches the same, while I'm bending. It's magic for the chops!
