Haha fantastic! I will try this … I’m an aussie … so will try to adjust as necessary 😉 Thanks for everyone’s input it’s very much appreciated. The moment I get all overtones I will video myself and post it and pass on any tips and help …that helped me to encourage others. Thanks again!

mambo_machine replied to the topic Hitting An Overtone Wall in the forum Altissimo Course 6 years ago
Thanks for all these tips .. I have been quietly observing them. I can hit the normal low Bb (of course) then 1st overtone to Bb , second to F but that third overtone is a bitch! No matter what I try I can NEVER hit it. I am going to try the VAW, VER, VOO and vowel technique above to see if that helps out tomorrow as I’m reading this at night…[Read more]

mambo_machine replied to the topic me copying Johnny's solo of pIck up the pieces. in the forum Your Video 6 years, 5 months ago
Hi well done! I’ve been doing the pick up the pieces song as well but can’t do the altissimo notes yet. Did you go through the altissimo course? I cannot for the life of me do the 3rd overtone. Been at it for over a month now every day. Can sometimes (maybe 1 out of 10 times) hit it. I cheat by using the octave key to get it in my minds eye ……[Read more]

If you would like to vote … keep in mind this *** REPERTOIRE SECTION *** and put in your vote. The songs that have a X number next to them means people voted…[Read more]

Oh man I’m so glad I saw this post because I have been doing the JF altissimo course now for a few months, and what do you know ? That third overtone really “blows” pardon the pun. The only way I can do it is to sort of cheat a little. I blow the low Bb, then go for the mid Bb then F. Easy … but then to get that next Bb the ONLY way I can do it…[Read more]

G’day mate – I am also from Sydney, Australia. My first sax was a Yamaha YAS-23 just like yours. Awesome sax to start with but sooner or later .. you may find yourself moving to the dark side … that is .. to a tenor. Welcome to this awesome site. You will find lots of help here, and Johnny is very helpful. You should join the Premium access. It…[Read more]

Hi there – I’ve been doing the Altissimo coure for about a month now, and just getting through the overtone part (Having a bitch of a time getting the third overtone) but that is not the reason for my post. Regarding the fingering for high notes I have a question for you all who have managed to get these illusive sounds. Is it possible that some…[Read more]

Hi there, has anybody had a problem with the second page of “Just the way you are” ? When I attempt to download it for the Tenor … the page doesn’t seem to exist.
Cheers!

OK then Johnny. So what you’re saying is that I should put up a new thread and ask everyone to put in their top (say 3) favourite song choices they would like to see you do a cover of in a new thread (in priority order as Jeff suggested). Once you get the responses you would collate them in a spreadsheet and see which ones (If any) are doubled/…[Read more]

Hey Johnny and fellow saxers …
I would like to posit an idea and hear your thoughts.
Is it possible to have some say in the direction of what the up and coming songs you do covers of, are? Perhaps you could make a survey and give maybe 5 options for each new song you choice and the premium members can have a say? This is not to say the current…[Read more] -
