      Nope. Not at all James. I just went and replayed some notes using the same lip pressure I was using on the song and your ears are correct. I am about .25 flat and firming up the lip pressure a little got it spot on right through the range. Seems I was focusing so much on the notes and the track I forgot the most important piece of the puzzle. I was so happy to be getting a good sound out of the new MP and reed combo I forgot the setup do’s and that is an easy fix. Cheers

        the sax can be such a difficult/fun instrument to play, i try to explain it to non sax players with no success!

        But challenges to overcome are more rewarding – its the only instrument i’ve played which you get a real buzz out of when things go right!

        like my teacher says, theres no such thing as a perfect performance – after playing we will always find fault, for me i’m just happy if i get a low number of faults!

        Taking stock compared to months ago, everyone on here has vastly improved playing wise!

          Dazza, pay more attention to the band… if you listen you’ll hear how you sometimes race ahead of the track a little bit. What I do is focus on something important like the snare, in this mix it’s really upfront so very easy to hear. If you get better at playing with the track you’ll be more in time when it comes to playing with a real live band so work on this.

            Hi Dazza. Nice tone. I enjoyed both songs. Great job.
