Some key take-aways from this video:
"Dan Moi... So no air; you don't have to exhale through this thing. It gives you kind of like an audible - it's like an audible X-Ray, where you can hear the shape of your tongue."
"Depending on the shape of my tongue, that changes which overtone is resonating inside of my mouth."
"The reason why this is important is because the shape of my tongue is everything, dude! Well, obviously there are other moving parts that go into the system of playing, but if you incorporate tongue position to that degree into your playing, then it affects the way that the rest of all the moving parts work."
"It changes how much air you need to use, how much muscle you really need to be flexing in your face."
"It was extremely extremely helpful during the time when I transitioned from [a less efficient technique]"
