Thanks, will give it a go!

Thanks. I’m at a stage where it doesn’t hurt anymore to growl. Growling on its own is fine, but when I try to add it into a piece I’m playing it sounds odd. Is there any particular place I should or shouldn’t growl, or are there any rules to follow when growling?

I’m doing something very wrong then! I’ll keep practicing until I begin to get the growling and tonguing in order.

By the way, my throat hurts quite a bit after I practice growling. I take it this will ease once I develop the technique?

I also posted this on the members’ blog section.

Thanks for your reply, Baboon.

I recorded myself playing using my phone, but the quality is pretty horrendous. What are people usually using to record themselves?

I bought Johnny’s book on ‘How to Play Saxophone’, which I’m finding helpful. I’m doing the exercises in there with all 7 ‘normal’ major keys at the moment. Once I’ve memorised the scales completely I’ll then learn the 5 sharp/flat major scales.
