      Got the first lesson up for the Shotgun sessions.
      Starts slow with one note. Commit to this 30 day challenge as I will add a lesson each week building upon the previous one.
      Check it out!

        Shotgun. Sounds like blues. Is it 12 bar blues? Looks like there is one chord in the music, the Bb7

              Hey Saxo. There’s something amiss with your recording. I can’t hear your sax!

                    Ok, the second and third note is up and running. The 6 and the 5, so we have the 1, the 6, and the 5 to work with. Two more notes and we have a pentatonic. We’er moving on

                      Well I’ve been blowing the 6th note, and the 5th note. and the one note. Using the octave key to add to the mix. Those notes, the 1st. the 6th, the 5th, and what ever comes next can be blown using the octave key as long as I blow those notes. So I think I’m making progress. Thanks Johnny
