1 2 4 5 6 is an interesting scale. Can sound really cool over suspended chords

What clarinet do you play in this video? In Bb Bohem system ? or Clarinet in G Albert System ? Can you achieve microtonality and play Middle Eastern music with Boehm system clarinets?

Yes he's bending the notes. This is a technique you can learn, it involves dropping the jaw.

Is bending notes on the clarinet similar what blues harmonica players do.
