way better. compared to the last things this was almost perfect as far as timing.
what’s weird is you picked something to play over that has no drums only piano so for me anyway, this makes the whole exercise harder!

Hi sxpoet, here’s me having a go at your busking version of Autumn Leaves.

Fetch the rake

Timing problems. I think I’m on the wrong page. I’ve been studying Johnny’s improve course using “what does it take”. In bar 25 the D chord is called a C chord. Must be concert C because my sheet music has a D chord. I never have been able to end up on the 5 chord along with every body else. In my music the 12th bar is D. That’s the 5 chord in the G scale. Skipping the 1st 4 bars and starting on the 5th bar Am7 and counting on down 12 bars I end on the 5 chord on bar 16. I never get there with the music. I must be on the wrong page.

Hi sxpoet, no I became tired of the silver C* and have gone back to my mellow S80. It’s like coming home! The effort I put in on the silver has paid dividends though, and I’m enjoying the tone of the S80 more than ever. I think I’ll try the silver again in about 3 months. Now that I’m comfortable with the S80, I like not having to worry about the MP and can just focus on the music.

Johnny,
I’m studying your improv course. The sheet music you used in the course is “What Does It Take” i.e. the tracking loops are those that go with “What does it Take” The sheet music for tenor sax is in the key of G major. The 5th bar begins with Am7. The 1st four bars we ignore as they don’t go with a 12 bar blues set up. From the 5th bar beginning with the Am7 chord on down to the 16th bar ending on D which is the 5 – that’s 12 bars. Beginning with the 2 chord Am7, then the 1 chord Gmaj7 repeating 2, 1, 2, 1 on down to the 5. Could this be a two one, two one, two one five progression? I’ll go back to the beginning of your basic improv course. Thanks Johnny.
