nice JB, cool and easy thing about a blues like that is the entire melody is made up of the 5 notes of the minor pentatonic scale.

William I think you’re referring to the Killer Blues course….I meant the Major Scale Improve course which is different.
The tracks used for Killer Blues are mostly generic blues that can be used over many many standard blues/swing songs as long as that fall into the typical 12 bar progression (which is a lot of them, including Sweet Home Chicago) -

way too complicated guys….follow my Major Scale Improvisation Course
every time I hear someone asking or talking about modes it always gets too complicated and makes me want to not even go there. -

the reason some poep[le are having issues is because you’re not actually paying the monthly subscription which is set up inside Paypal. you just paid the one time price….I just don’t know how that happened!

right on Mike, looks like a fun band to play with. Funnily enough we had a bar called the Coach House here in Vancouver where I grew up….it was actually in North Vancouver and was there the entire time I went to college there so knew it well!

Roger, are you new to playing the sax, or is this a thing that just started happening after years of playing all of a sudden?
I’ve had a similar thing from time to time. I never did anything special to get rid of it, just went away eventually. If it persists maybe a physio therapist? -

ya, when I used the AKG 10000 I always boosted some frequencies to make my sax sound right in the recording but with this one I rarely touch anything. It’s very good for sax. I figured any mic good for vocals will also work great on sax.

yes exactly. and the other chords would be the 4, 4minor to 5. and for that I’d play the 3rd of the 4 chord, flat 3rd, down a semi tone. so if the 4 was an F you could play; A, Ab, G and this would fit perfectly over that part.

Well some other guys got it back up so I’m able to share it with you…[Read more] -

john replied to the topic Soul Serenade in the forum Recording Your Saxophone 3 years, 6 months ago
very nice sound Mike.
ya I used to have a soprano which I sold many years ago….it is a beast for intonation, takes a lot of practice.
so incorporating one into an already busy schedule is very difficult. My sax teacher told me when I was still in high school;
practice as much as you can now because you’ll never have this much time to do it later…[Read more] - Load More
