      If you can play all notes on your sax and read music you can learn anything….well, almost!
      My approach is always take it by very small chunks at a time…
      1st note to the following few notes, to the next group of notes. This can be just a few notes at a time.
      So let’s say after the first note there is a group of 8th notes together. Learn them.practice them consecutively until them roll off your fingers. Even memorize them. Spent some time on them. After you have them move on to the next 4.
      See, if you break it down to only a few notes that you can handle, then you can learn anything really because there’s no one that can’t learn 3 or 4 notes strung together… and if there is, just break those 4 down to into 2…see what i mean?

          ok good luck. Just take it real slow and when you come across a sticky part just iron it out until you can execute the finger movement…it’s not rocket science, just moving from one note to the next.

              Yes I do but I took it off the site after Christmas. I guess that might have been stupid of me. I planned on putting it back up along with some new stuff before this upcoming season. If you really want to get an early start let me know and I’ll make the download link available again.
              There are 3 songs:
              Jingle bell Rock
              Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
              White Christmas

                  Yes I’ll email you the link.
                  BTW, what exactly happened after you made the Payment through Paypal?
                  Did it say you will be directed in a few seconds or nothing or what?
                  I have been getting a few people saying they payed and did not see any download page.
                  I know that sometimes some people will just miss it for several reasons but if nothing is happening
                  I want to know so I can investigate further.

                  thanks
                  Johnny

                    Yes it said that I would be directed to the download page but it did not do that, instead it sent me back to the opening page of (how to play saxophone) the video of you with the pentatonic scales.
