I hear Mendez used to lip buzz (i.e. no mpc), I was wondering how big a part it played in his practice sessions? And where did he get the technique from? (e.g. was it his dad??).

Any info??

Cheers

Jody

I'm sure he free buzzed some, but I don't think it was a big part of his practice.

The Mendez Library has a couple of cassettes of clinics he gave at high schools. He mentions mouthpiece buzzing some, but says it is to be just to get the lips started.

I am pretty sure he was not big on free buzzing or mpc buzzing as a routine in itself. There isn't a whole lot of material to base this on, though.

Maybe someone out there knows more?
