I had similar experiences with garage band, horrible mix down tools. I ended up just getting Logic ProX and have been every happy with the results.

Thanks Saxomonica, feeling a bit better, pneumonia according to my doctor, I’m still trying to figure out how I came down with it, I thought it was just a bad chest cold. Playing long tones is a challenge…

LOL, I’m sure most of my neighbors hate me… especially since I’ve started practicing overtones/altissimo regularly! I’m sure your…[Read more]

sorry for not getting back, been sick for the last week. Actually, I was thinking more of doing something just for fun/confidence building and getting feedback. I’m sure the experience level of folks on this forum varies significantly, making it a contest might narrow the participation factor down. Just my thoughts.

I like it, what are you using to record with?

Sounds good Simon, I say let it all out even when you’re recording!

Here’s a video of Michael playing at some club – shotgun, he sings it as well.

Michael Antunes, great rock and roll sax player!

Thanks folks, Brother – I think I just went from F to E to C#.

Johnny, Looking forward to the next dominants 7th lesson! I’ve been working through the dominant 7th scales in all keys. In all the lessons I’ve taken none of the teachers really emphasized this scale, weird. Yeah I think that note split was more accidental than deliberate!…[Read more]

Thanks Brother! I love the way Sam (the man) Taylor plays this song, it’s almost scary… ha ha. Johnny does a hell of a cover as well. I cut a few other tracks but still not happy with them, I think my neighbors are sick of hearing me play this tune so I’ll give it some time and come back to it in a couple days…. when everyone is at work!

Thanks Pete, I’m not happy at all with the solo section. I’m going through Johnny’s dominant 7th soloing exercises and I see where I need much more space in this solo and to come up with a melody to place around the chord changes. It’s a journey!

Saxomonica, excellent, got my 80’s all pumped up, whoever I slipped a disco on the dance moves… ha ha

beautiful horn!

The last group of pics I received confirm that the horn is a six. I’ve got a meet up with the seller for tomorrow. Here are the last pics I received confirming the to point connection and the mark vi spatula keys.

Yeah, I was more concerned with it being a fake. He sent me a bunch of pics and a the person he was studying with played a little demo on his FB page and he had pics as well. Looks very clean & It’s definitely a six! I’m meeting him this weekend to give it a try.

Yeah, I asked him to send me clear pics of the other side of the sax, if it has a three point connection and the large spatula keys I’ll know it’s a 7.

Came across this add on the local craig’s List, going to check it out this week. It’s a 2 hour drive but if the sax is solid and ind good shape i might buy it.
