nb this an interesting air @Johnny as he plays C Chromatic Super 64 in 3rd position to start
one step behind key signature, gives eerie minor sound, ephemeral riffs
lotsa sucking eg 6suck to 4 suck, and then 1blow or 4b, say

then he switches to a G diatonic ten hole in 2nd position
skip warbles 4/5 suck, creates tension on 4s and 4s bent,…[Read more]

@Johnny I’m definitely going to look into those reeds as soon as I can, probably in the month of May. Got some family stuff we’re doing first over the next few weeks. I’ve been hearing great things about them from lots of players. I tried Legere reeds from a music store locally, didn’t like them at all. I’m going to look over your blog post about…[Read more]

@Johnny Java Greens size 3. My Sax teacher told me this past Wednesday to start making a weekly video diary–plus using a mirror. The difference with working with a real teacher vs. someone in a music store who professes to be a teacher is like night and day! He taught me some other cool tricks about tuning–super helpful!

I have some Fibracell…[Read more]

@johnny – Why mess with success? You’re happy with your Guardala and that’s awesome!

@gary – As Johnny says, you’re very lucky to have a “local” music store with mouthpiece selections! I live in rural Kansas and am planning on attending the Summer NAAM in Nashville (July 2019) to try out some MPs. I guess I could test them long distance,…[Read more]

If this price range doesn’t scare you then look for a Selmer Mark VI, they feel and sound great. End of story.

Some other Selmer models within this price range are the Super Action 80 ser…[Read more]

I think Berg Larsens are awesome, love the sound you get out of a Berg Larsen 🙂 What kept me away from them is the shape of the beak. They have a really sharp beak. I have to use something that sits more flush in my mouth like a Claude Lakey, Jody Jazz, Otto Link, etc.

@Johnny Oh wow, didn’t know you used to play Berg Larsens, pretty cool :)…[Read more]
