      Hi sxpoet, creative – I like it. I enjoy Pink Floyd, Genesis and electronic music generally, so it’s something I would enjoy more stripped down, without the back-track.
      Perhaps using a tapping cymbal track for rhythm instead? How about ‘Space blues on planet G’ as a title? Nice one, keep them coming.

        hi Jeff,
        i haven’t done any improvising since last summer,
        so i thought i’d just stick a backing track on,
        then i did a couple sound tests with the ipad,
        using too much reverb and echo, not intentional,
        just couldn’t be bothered to mess about with the
        garage band settings. so i didn’t expect it to play
        back like that.

        Inprovising only needs to be recorded in one take,
        you can hear altissimo g, and the higher note is an overtone
        played on altissimo g.

        As for backing track, i didn’t have any other tracks available
        in Basic blues G, so had to go with that one unfortunately.

        cheers
        james

          Export. Hope I’ve not crashed a private conversation. I just wanted to say… YEAH !!
          That’s excellent !! Agree with Jeff, you need ” something ” to dictate the pulse. I’d up the bass in the mix, but man ; well done !!

                nice stuff sxpoet, yes it’s overkill with the effects but they will make you play things different so still a worthy experiment

                  Cheers Johnny,
                  experimentation is the key.

                    Hi Jak, regarding your comment on “crashed a private conversation”, no worries man!

                    ‘Forum’ still means ‘Open public space’ and that’s why we comment here, so that others may add their wisdom, tips and comments to the conversation.

                    Email is for private conversations.

                    BTW – If you receive emails which you don’t want, try what I do and mark them as spam.
                    Then anything sent from that address in future, goes straight into the junk folder.

                      Thanks Jeff. Have to admit it came as a huge surprise. One minute, and over time , I’m helping a member as to choice of mpc.

                        Hi Jak. Yes, people today think that email accounts and cellphones are the places for dumping all unsolicited communication.

                        People won’t accept anything unless they are desperate for it, even if it is good, true and practical.

                        Johnny’s advice on saxophone playing is great, the problem is that it takes hours of practice to become competent, and we are always looking for a faster solution.

                        I am only becoming comfortable with my playing position and embouchure now, and it’s taken me nearly four years of playing. Cheers
