When I first started, I got very basic calls and I could never get them to sound right. I bought the Primos A frame triple with the bat cut, and now that's all I ever use. It seems hard, but it's really not. Primos also sells a pack with a "Speak the Language" cd in it. I keep that in my car, and when noone is with me I call every chance I get. Don't get discouraged. Once you get confident you'll be set.
