yes that’s the one I went thru years ago. I didn’t go thru the advanced one, didn’t need it for what I do…it’s got some really crazy music that only the top readers can get thru.
you’ll be doing great by getting thru this one tho so good on ya! -
john replied to the topic Sax Rot in the forum Saxophone Tips 2 years, 10 months ago
that’s great. the more tricky syncopated string of notes is the real problem for most of us and that’s what slows you down.
But, I find that there’s really only a certain number of combinations and so taking these one at a time can slowly help anyone “overcome” this.
When I used to practice a more advance piece I’s get stuck at several bars so…[Read more] -

a few ways to tell a minor key apart from a major is when you look at the score go directly to the last bar. more often than not it will end on the one. in this music it’s an A so there’s your first clue.
the other thing we can do is check for four chords and five chords throughout because every song will have these chords.
so in the key of A…[Read more]

every key has a relative major/minor which has the same number of sharps/flats.
a key signature that shows 3 sharps can be in either A major or F# minor.
you’re confusing this song to be in the minor key of F# minor, it isn’t. It’s in A major. Tenor key is what I’m referring to. -

nice leo, good energy.
your timing is usually very good but sometimes you can go off a bit which is pretty easy to do….
what I do is tap my foot most of the time especially when a harder part comes up.
so when you practice zero in on the track (mostly drums) and tap your foot to keep in time with the band…otherwise great effort. -

you just go to your channel, then your video section and you’ll see all your videos showing in a row. when you hover your mouse over one you’ll see 3 little dots to the right, click one and then you’ll see an option the says “delete forever”

ya great memories…Gregg was a blast to play with and hang out with. he inspired me a lot. he had rubber bands on his sax keys and rods to get the right amount of tension which I had never seen before.

I usually use the bis key fingering except when there is a B natural following the Bb otherwise that move would be too slow and awkward

sorry guys upon a closer look I noticed mine is a Durga 2.

john replied to the topic New Mouthpiece in the forum Mouthpieces 2 years, 11 months ago
mine is the Durga 3. I’ve had it for a couple years and do play it once in a while. it’s pretty nice, and depending on the reed it blows as good as some of my Guardala’s. Not good enough to replace my main MBI tho. I would like to try the newer Durga 4 but it’s almost $800!

nice project Mark I like your relaxed style and you mixed the sax pretty good in the mix with just enough echo.
as a sax fan my only complaint is there’s not enough sax throughout!
thanks for sharing . -

yes Steve and I emailed you back saying I went thru all your orders and not one was a double. if you have 2 downloads it just means you downloaded them twice, not that you ordered them twice.
