Client told me my fades were too "flat" - changed everything

Guy sits down, looks at my last cut still on the floor, says "man your fade line is clean but there's no depth." I was doing the same guard combo every time. He walked me through using a half guard lower to blend the dark spots. Took me three tries to get it right. Now my fades actually pop. Any of you guys have a regular who taught you something simple you missed in barber school?

That half guard move is a game changer once you see it work. What was the specific guard combo you were using before that he said was too flat?
