Jake: I’ve learned about 1/2 of Yakety Sax too..yes, VERY fun to play 🙂 I started working on it but got “sidetracked” when I decided I wanted to make Improvisation with Blues/Rock the main focal point of my playing at this moment in time. I am looking at finishing it in time soon but there’s only so much time in the day LOL
You HAVE to upload that one to Member’s Videos! If you don’t, I’ll be messaging you! LOL
Johnny: I think it’s great like how at the end of “What Does It Take” you wrote the sheet music towards the end where we, ourselves, can solo out with the chords you wrote at the end of the sheet music. I just think that’s it’s such an expressive way to play. Thanks very much for your insights/input at Improvising with the Green Onions. I do feel that I’m starting to get a good sense of how to use those Blues Scales and I personally feel that it’s starting to click–it’s starting to anyway LOL I’m finding that the more I work on your exercises in Killer Blues like I did today the licks/riffs just keep coming up in my head. I’ll do the Green Onions again pretty soon…..I can’t hold back from NOT playing this song and from NOT throwing at least some, high-screaming Altissimo notes 🙂
