Fun tune, but I’m still having intonation issues with G2 & A2, I need to work on thickening those notes up and playing them consistently in tune. When I was recording this I pulled my headphones of just after starting the bridge forcing me to stop playing for a couple measures but I like how the rest of the song played out so I had to learn to go back and punch that section back in, I use Logic 10 and thought it would be difficult, it wasn’t, great learning experience!

The middle G can be problematic with some people and some horns.
when I was young and taking lessons the middle G was never 100% for me so my teacher had me blow it for about 20 minute sessions.
Hitting it this way and that…tongue, no tongue, soft, loud etc.
you do that for 20 min a day for a while and you learn some things!

Thanks Johnny, I’ll check include those suggestions in my practice routine!
