      3-minute video of a couple pieces I bought on this web site. I’m also in Johnny’s Major Scale Improv Course.
      Love the course and love the site.

      I started learning the sax at age 12 and put it away in the Seventies. Finally playing again after seeing Johnny’s site.

        couldn’t view your video – was asking me to sign into you tube!
        Also anything starting “http:/” is unprotected and could be a fake site!,
        safe sites start with “https:/”

          It stated the video was private. When uploading you can select- Public, Unlisted, Private. I use- Unlisted for the purposes of sharing an upload on this site. Someday I may do a Public video, but it’s not something that appeals to me at my stage of development…

              William, that link worked. Glad you pulled that horn out again. You’ll have to tell us about it, and your setup(mouthpiece/reed) that you like. Got a good solid tone there for us to enjoy. Look forward to more uploads!

                Yep – i can view now! Well played William!

                probably get accused of going off track (in terms of thread/post whatever)
                I need to invest in a better recording setup.
                I’ve only got an i-touch, pair of tiny speakers (2 inch by 2 inch) to play my backing track on!
                So i have to have my speakers next to the i-touch, and my sax about 2 to 3 feet away, but like
                some members say – its ok for the blog.

                But – yes, i agree with Kevin you have a strong tone!

                  Thanks for the compliments Kevin and James, but I need a lot of work!
                  Kevin:
                  Most of the time I switch mouthpieces back and forth between an old 5-star Otto Link metal and a Meyer hard rubber medium chamber. I played the Meyer in the video.
                  Reed: #3 Vandoren Java for both mouthpieces.
                  I have some old plastic Brilharts, one metal “Arnold Brilhart” I rarely play,
                  A Yamaha 4C I don’t like, And one old chewed-up British 4-star mouthpiece (was my favorite) that I finally retired.
                  James:
                  I’m using cheap 6-inch computer-speakers. I had them right next to the camera or you wouldn’t have heard the backing tracks.
