Our buddy Frank posted this on another thread but I think it deserves one of it's own!
Cool stuff here! He says it all in the last minute. Learn TB on both sides! Learn pucker to free up your tongue. He even U-blocks!
I like the part where he does splits with a double stop on one side. Amazing clarity in his moevments.

I commented on the other thread, but wow, I agree. Filisko and Sleigh do some of this stuff on diatonic, but I suspect that there is still a lot of territory to explore with TB, even in a blues context, especially with overbends and position playing thrown into the mix. I do tongue switch ("switch corners" in Robert's parlance) to get the 1 hole, but I haven't done that much further up the harp yet. This motivates me to dig in and try some more things.

Back in 2006-2008 I wrote a long series of articles on using both sides of your mouth for harmonicasessions.com. It was written for chromatic, but it all works on diatonic (you just get different notes). The articles have diagrams, tab, and sound samples
Here are links to the articles:
February 2006 - Left Field Embouchure
April 2006 - Split Intervals
June 2006 - The Variable Split, Basic Moves
August 2006 - Leaping Variable Splits
October 2006 - Multiple Embouchure - Part 1
February 2007 - Multiple Embouchure - Part 2: Oblique Motion
April 2007 - Multiple Embouchure - Part 3: The Moving Fixed Block
June 2007 - Multiple Embouchure, Part 4: The Switched Leap
August 2007 - Multiple Embouchure, Part 5: The Overlapping Leap
October 2007 - Multiple Embouchure, Part 6: The Pivot Point
December 2007 - Multiple Embouchure, Part 7: The Outside Shift

I also want to say that if you are venturing into TB from a LB/LP embouchure, take your time. For me, it took months and months before unnecessary muscles began to relax and it started to feel natural, especially the tongue-switching.
