Started this journey a little over 3 months ago. Bought a used Yas26, taking lessons, and quickly learned there is a LOT to learn.

A little background–I retired (military and govt service) for good three years ago!!! Four years ago I started playing the Native American Flute (NAF)–a minor pentonic open holed instrument. A great haunting sounding flute (now have 15 of them). Two years ago, I picked up a bamboo sax from Erik the Flute maker (open holed instrument with an alto mouthpiece and a tenor reed)–it took me quite a while to learn to play it:(

I really liked the sax sound and decided to “go all in” and here “I be”. Not only am I learning the sax, but I learning to read music. Up to this point I have mostly improv’ed (the NAF is a great for that). My goals are to first enjoy the journey, second somehow get some good sounds out of the sax, third play songs that I enjoy (blues and rock), and fourth learn how to read music (not easy for an old man:) 🙂

Finally, just bought the Killer Blues course and will incorporate those lessons in my partice routine.
