Embouchure:

I "invented" this riff (triplet rhythm, fast. 'b' means blow, otherwise draw. '-' is a half-tone bend, '--' is a full-tone bend): -
3b,2b,3b,3-,3--,2,
3b,2b,3b,3-,3--,2,
3b,2b,3b,3-,3--,2,
3b,2b,3b,3-,3--,2,
2+1 chord.
The difficulty is getting that 3 blow without any hint of the 4 blow creeping in!

Scales:

I try to cover 1st, 2nd, 3rd, obviously, but I've discovered that 7th position major scale is great for those draw bends on the 2, 3 and 4 holes. Start on the 2 draw bent down a half-tone.
