Hi everyone! I’m a returning Alto Sax player (haven’t played much in the last 40 years) and just signed up for the Premium Membership – excited! Hope to learn and engage with this incredible membership. Blessings to all.
PS – I’m also a Family Physician and a book author. Here’s my website: BooksByDrHinojosa.com
Wow, Sir, it is a timely honour being to welcome you to Johnny’s site. Welcome!!
Checked out your book website and it warmed the cockles of my heart to perceive.
Thanking you kindly for the full and wonderful harmonious life you lead by example.
Bless your healing hands, your huge heart and beating cotton sox. Tuff lips to you.
And, thanks evers so much for joining and by chance being part of his founding team.
Says Louis Pasteur, chance favours the prepared mind.
I play in a classic rock duo. My buddy play Rythym guitar leaving me for all the leads on sax. Most of the songs we do don’t have sax in them so I spend a lotta time transposing.
We do songs like hotel California, brown eyed girl, keep your hands to yourself and of course sax friendly urgent and old time rock n roll!!! So much fun.
yes a big welcome Jose! Good luck with those new tunes…
@saxomonica, speaking of timely…Tic Toc is one of my upcoming featured tunes for you guys. It will not only have full note-for-note transcription with backing track but also a tutorial as this performance by the great Lee Allen is a treasure chest full of brilliant blues/rock licks. You could literally take away dozens of ideas but even if you only steal 2 or 3 you’ll be doing great…and you will!
Love it, Jake! For my friend’s wedding, I’m doing Ave Maria (bride’s request), Amazing Grace, Maria Elena (my wife’s name!), and What a Wonderful World. For now, I’m playing without backing tracks – but now that I’m a member, I look forward to playing with them! Then, at the reception, they’ve hired a band (without horns/woodwinds) and the couple have requested a cumbia, La Gallina.
