Around 15:30, you're demonstrating the last four bars of the chorus and you say, "let me get the timing right" and do it again. On the first "mistaken" time, you're...

You got it! The articulation is so important whether for chords (in this rhythmic context) or for single note articulation while TB'ing. Basic technique, but super important and...

Yes, your tongue is OFF the harp to do the rhythmic chording, and I am playing holes 1-2 mainly, sometimes 1-2-3. But it is not "Tut-ti" it is "Tut-tut" that clipping comes from...
