yes but this one is a more custom/specialized trill that’s not trilling with a neighbouring note…
with my left hand I’m trilling G and A consistently while playing the diatonic written notes with the right hand.
play the notes as written which are dotted quarter notes; D#, E, F, F#.
while holding those notes for their full dotted quarter note…[Read more]

yes most definately. especially when playing with a loud guitar player who is the lead/star guy which I did for many years.
screaming altissimo notes are a must!
I should tell you what Steve Berlin shared with me, I don’t think many people are aware of this…
while we chatted backstage about sax stuff we eventually got to reeds of course and he…[Read more]

hey thanks Liam, most times people just make it too complicated and confusing, so ya I think those exercises in that course really simplify it.

very cool Bruce, well done.

the only member of Los Lobos that didn’t play on all the records was the drummer. The very famous Jim Keltner played on some of their stuff but all the other members actually did all their own tracks.
They hung out a bit in Vancouver and I spend the day with their bass player in our studio. we also did a show with them in London England and I got…[Read more]

looks heavy William, hopfully will be comfortable, let us know when you get it!

havin fun with that bari, well don Mike I love it!

Ok Jennifer you’re all good to go.

nice tone Rick, I really like it. that really long note is a tough one to maintain and keep in tune so we gotta force more air, then at the same time hold back the volume a bit to get that fading out effect. Think of the diaghragm as your volume knob.

also, I bet her shyness starts to shrink as her confidence in her playing grows.

welcome Paul, glad you found us!…all the best in this new year!

Right on Simon, happy new year to you and all!

nice Simon, I’m noticing some improvements in your tone…keep it up. When you practice try blowing VERY loud this will continue to help build your sound….more air! Also bite up on the mouthpiece just a little bit more. It may feel uncomfortable at first but then it begins to feel normal and this also helps build your tone.

Nice…your tone has become a bit fuller especially in that low register. I just listened to one of your recordings from almost a year ago.
Keep it up. you’re doing what I suggest everyone to do and that’s record yourself. the changes you’ve done in the last little while are paying off…reeds, mp, mic etc

ya Mike you nailed it, rock on!

well done Robert…looks and sounds great. thanks for sharing!
