Tongue Relaxation

Author: joeyscl

Well we all know the more relaxed we are, the Faster we can tongue...

Now my problem is: How do you get the tongue to relax in the first place??

One day I would be able to tongue at 160~168 bpm on an Open G (errr... about once every few months), and the next day I would feel tense especially in the tongue and barely able to do 104 (this when its BAD... 1/2 the time). So how do i get the tongue (or even my whole body) to relax in the first place? Interestingly, that day when i was able to do 168, after i finished practicing, i wasn't able to do it as fast anymore (tension setting in?).
