        Hi JB. My first upload was “Honky Tonk Women” (renamed Honky Tonk Blues). Thanks for stopping by. It’s some where in the site. I think you viewed it.

          that’s right – i forgot about honky tonk!
          For the dancing in the street i would pump up the volume of the backing track – just my opinion take it or leave it.

            Thanks JB I’ll pay attention to the backing track volume on my next uploads.

              great effort William. lots of good things going on there with your tenor. would be good to see your set up and embouchure etc. you sound pretty confident in your low notes. there is a waver effect sometimes which I think could be straightened out with more air/firmer embouchure. also focus on ending your long notes with the air support lasting right up till the end and then using your tongue to stop them rather than letting them fade out, this little trick will improve your overall intonation.

                Thanks Johnny. I do sometimes sense a waver and lack of a steady air support. I’ll practice ending long notes with the tongue without sounding jerky or staccato like while providing proper air support.

                  long tones practice is good for getting rid of wavering – i can remember wavering when i first started out doing Johnny’s long tone exercises it took me a couple of months to get a steady tone.

                  I still do long tones everyday, and i still have to watch the timing, tonguing the start of each note, checking with a tuner that the note isn’t going out of tune.

                  In fact now when i play to a backing track i can tell straight away when a note sounds out of key.

                    Long tones done properly are the best way to develop better and stronger tone.
                    sorry, no magical tricks or new mouthpieces etc!
                    It’s not an exiting or high tech exercises (kinda boring actually) but it works!
                    Long tones make up a good portion of my “Daily Practice Routine” because they are considered one of the most important fundamentals.
                    when you do them, make sure to play the notes in at least 2 different volumes; soft and loud. better even to add a couple in between volumes as well.
                    to do this takes more effort from your diaphragm. actually harder to sustain very soft notes, but this builds up your control.
