I watched Shane's video on the difference in air flow and how to achieve the higher note based on which side air is being blown from. It is my understanding that it all basically boils down to whether you blow a combo cut, reverse combo cut, batwing cut or a ghost cut in order to get the high front note, all of which is determined by how the air is exiting your mouth All other cuts are just going to be raspy????
For me it was ghost cut

bugman, I think that sums it up well.
I watched his video a couple days ago. I haven't had an issue with mouth calls like some have but his information definitely provided some insight that a lot of us may be missin. I am consistent in using a ghost cut but now want to try a few different cuts to see how valid the info is. Overall a great piece of useful knowledge.
That video helped my calling without question a couple years back.
I think the information is valid. I'm not a good caller by any means, I have been experimenting with a lot of calls this year. It's easy for me to get the high front and low back on a bat wing. A combo cut takes some work and different tongue placement for me to get the high note, not natural for me. Ghost cut is easy to get the front of yelp but since figuring out I need small frame calls the ghost cut is out. I have found a small frame ghost cut will kee- kee- easily but the front of the yelp will remain too high no matter how much tongue pressure I use.
Bat wing and reverse combo are my cutts. Some folks that are really good can probably use anything.
Ordered it last night.

I agree with this.
Shane's method will shorten the learning curve. Fitting the call to you.
Conversely, if you watch any of Scott Ellis' videos on the topic, his method is essentially finding the high note in the yelp by moving your tongue placement around. Fitting you to the call.
Two different methods to achieve the same goal.

I think there is always more than one way to skin a cat. However, I thought the video was certainly helpful.
