I’m assuming you got access already….I see your name down twice, did you purchase it twice?

I think it just needs to be played twice as fast since you’re covering 2 octaves instead of one.

ya I forgot that the drums don’t play in the 1st verse BUT he does keep time on the cymbal so focus in on that.

hey Pete, way to go on recording yourself and thanks for sharing.
The good news is you’re sounding nice AND playing all the right notes…
the bad news is you are out of sync with the band….sometimes as much as several beats off.
I would recomend to practise counting first and then try to play the music.
the way to practice counting along with…[Read more] -

@Judy and Cory…there are no physical CD’s that contain the video lessons. You access all the video lessons online and you access them with the lohg in info that you received it the confirmation email.
You must understand that if all these course were to be recorded on CD’s and mailed out the cost would be in the 100″s ….not doable for $97!! -

I been playing my fatboy for the last couple tunes Im working on….it’s got a nice big tone but my intonation isn’t quite as good as my other mp’s
I’ve always felt that with the fatboy…maybe still do cause I don’t spend enough time with it….that’s my only complaint with it. -

no you are not a premium member. you purchased “How To Play The Saxophone – A Complete Beginners Guide.
Is that not what you intended?
Access to the Sax Academy right now is the same price as that course yet that course is included in it so a better deal….maybe you missed it or aren’t interested in the other courses?
Either way, the 4 song per…[Read more] -

so which pentatonic scale do you think we need to use? If you said G minor pentatonic you would be correct.
at this point don’t make things any more complicated than that.
Once you know and learn that scale, have a look at the melody…you’ll notice that about 99% of it is made up of the notes of this scale.
Very simple and easy stuff once we…[Read more] -

sure Peter…take some notes cause this is an important lesson…
Summertime (alto music) is in the key of E minor.
have a look at the key signature., you see one sharp (F#)
that tells us it’s either in G major or E minor. Every major key has a relative minor with the same key signature.
we need to figure out if that one sharp means that the song…[Read more] -

Joe, no, we need to go up a whole step, not a half step when we transpose for Bb saxophones.
don’t worry about the chord extensions, just play the E minor pentatonic scale over it. I have some lessons here:this; C/D does not mean 2 chords at the same time, it means to play a C major…[Read more]

glad you also are enjoying them….I discovered them several years ago and have been playing em ever since. I also played Vandorens for many year prior.
Hemp was one of my faves until they came out with the Onyx and then the Copper…they have several good ones to choose from these days. -

if you registered for the monthly song downloads you will be billed monthly but it is automatic if you registered correctly…and far as I can tell you are ok. If you’re having anymore issues just let me know.

yes, I do a slide chromatically down from the F# to D. It makes it smooth out the melody, more like a vocal sound I think.
