I bought the Blues course after only a couple of weeks of owning a Saxophone so was a total beginner. I found it easy to follow and gave good examples of where the exercise could be used,I still consult and use it nearly every day. The backing track is great and allows you to try improvising the notes learnt. I still can’t get that little…[Read more]

I think I’ve got it now……C#-D, G#-A, C#- D (open C# -OC/D) G#-A OC, C#Oc-D (side key)—–then D-F#-A- (E-D-E-D oct.
or maybe not lol.

Man you cats have all the phrases don’t you.

At my level learning those scales etc is the bread & butter of my future technique, I try to make my practises enjoyable and if it becomes too much hard work I stop and chill for a while.

Glad your liking the Guitar Jak, I play a lot of slide and open tunings,try DADGAD tuning you’ll love it.

Never surrender Jak—NEVER, shove two fingers in the face of adversity and carry on regardless. Even if you can only blow one note—DO IT WELL.

Nice one Jeff, going to try this in a moment, although that high A will probably make me squit my undies with the strain.
many thanks

Look forward to that Johnny.

Walk don’t run had some great little hooks and riffs mate, but your Sleepwalk is the Dogs Bollocks (trust me that’s good lol)

I’m back in the ring Boss and working through your Blues download.

JAAAAAAAK how ya doing mate? I’m still using that MP ya sent me for my Trevor James, much better than that bag of crap it came with lol. Love those long notes, especially the low ones. I try altering the velocity of breath etc. I like it when you are barely putting enough breath to sound the note and you get those wonderful…[Read more]

Hello folks, I’m back to get more info, and get some more quality advice. I posted originally as Carl Robinson, but forgot all my details so re-registered. I was getting into Saxophone and really loved it but then life took a turn and I was working twelve hour shifts for months. I was simply too knackered to put in any sort of meaningful…[Read more]
