How do you cut a C natural? Is tounguing the only thing you can do? How do you separate multple C naturals Or C sharps for that matter?

oxx xox - c-nat
oxx xxx - cut
oxx xox - c-nat

If you use oxx ooo for c-nat:

oxx ooo - c-nat
oxx xxx - cut (plop all three fingers down, may take a little practice)
oxx ooo - c-nat

C# cut:
ooo xxx
oxx xxx
ooo xxx

I’ve been using this:
oxx ooo
xoo ooo
oxx ooo

But maybe Bloomfield’s cut is faster, will try that when I get home…

I don’t think that could be fast enough. And it would make a tap rather than a cut; for a tap I’d suggest this:

oxx ooo - c-nat
xxx ooo - tap
oxx ooo - c-nat

You’re right, I always mistake cuts with taps! :boggle:

That’s interesting, I’ll give it a try too :slight_smile:

Here’s a Cn roll I use now and again:

oxx oxx <–Cn
oxx xxx <–cut
oxx oxx <–Cn
xxx oxx <–tap
oxx oxx <–Cn

I think I may have stolen that from Grey Larsen. I can’t remember.

Thanks guys. I will try a few of these. I was having trouble with a simple tap.
