ahh, one of my old faves. used to play that one in my band years ago.
sure you can play 1 4 5 and follow the guitar…that’s what I would do.

ya Mike, way to go…mix sounds good to!

nice, thanks Leo….that one’s on my list as well.

way to blow leo.

No. I do have a couple of his albums which I got in the 70’s, some great stuff….
too many tunes so little time!

ya good one JB…rock on!

way to go guys…really nice to hear different versions

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]

thanks Mel, ya that is one sweet and cool groove….always loved it.

yes I will do that for you, just send me a message for the song(s) you download and need the concert part for.
I don’t do it as the rule because I’ve only ever had 2 or 3 requests for that in about 10 years.

ok thanks for the update Joseph.

ya Mike, that’s the tone man!

I scooped into the c slightly but did not scoop or fall down from it. Just hit the B normally. Cause a few notes later you have a really big important fall off on the F# so you don’t want to over do these embellishments.
as for the second part of your question, I don’t think I would do it that way.

the salesman laid out a few really nice top end ones then at…[Read more]

what’s your bari setup Mike?

right, that’s one of THE most common misconceptions and one of the most common questions you hear.
The secret isn’t in the finger positions nearly as much as the specific techniques needed.
That’s why when going thru a real system / course on the subject the fingering part doesn’t even get introduced until about 75% of the way through.

I think the sax is about right….it’s those vocals tho, way too loud. I don’t like vocals too much in a backing track, and when they’re louder than everything else it’s even worse to take the attention away.

Hey Pete, let me know the tunes you had and roughly the time period they were purchased.

ok I’ll bring it up with the tech but that lower link for older purchases does not always bring something up. it’s dependent on several things of which I’m not sure about, so some get lucky with it others don’t and the tech can’t make it work 100% because of that.
