Good one Randy

Nice Leo

Mike Potter,
You are my inspiration. Every song you play is a gem so today I’ll be blowing RUN AWAY. ON THE SOLO part I think I’ll use the E flat pentatonic. My mouthpiece is a theo Wanne 7* slant sig 2. Reed is a medium carbon onyx. Not to mention I’m tone deaf soooo
let the music begin

I’m working on “Just The Way You are”. Been working on it for two weeks I notice that when I play the low B followed by the G# I play the low B and the just lift my right hand fingers and the G# plays. Tricks of the trade. I also noticed that by moving my ligature to the back of the reed and tighten only the rear part of the leg the low B and low…[Read more]

Good post Saxomonica. So today I have two songs to practice: “To Love Somebody” and “Just The Way You Are”

Great blowing Jake, Bravo Performance.

I like Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” too. Maybe johnny might list “Brown Eyed Girl” some day.

You got great sound with the right Buzz. Great job

I play my backing track on GarageBand. I drag the mp3 from my iTunes library to GarageBand,

Great sax and video

I was blowing a MS onyx reed. The reed sometimes stopped vibrating. Johnny told me to stick with the medium onyx and the Medium began to blow just right. i have a medium copper (2.5) and it is a tough reed so I went to a #2 copper reed. I prefer the medium Onyx reed. I consider the copper reed to be a rock and roll reed.The copper reed takes a…[Read more]

My go to reed is the medium onyx reed in one of my 7* mouthpieces, Theowanne slant 2 or MBII fat boy

Bravo. Graphics are great too. Two thumbs up for you.

The Onyx reed sounded better than the copper reed. I find the onyx reed easier to blow compared to the copper reed. I had to move down to size 2 from 2.5 with the copper reed. Holding a note longer was easer with the onyx reed. The copper reed seems to be for rock and roll.

My onyx medium and my copper reed 2 work very well.My 7* mouth pieces and my MBII fatboy blow well using the onyx medium reed and copper reed size 2

Thanks Johnny. I’ll check it out tomorrow.Today using the fatboy mpc and a #2 copper reed and a winslow big I was playing “Your Mama Don’t Dance”. Nice rocking tune

One more thing about using a metronome. My music reading is very cognitive, too cognitive. I have to play the notes/music without thinking about it. Dancing puts you into the music so I stomp my heal or pat my foot. I don’t dance but I can get my leg into the music on the down beats

80 bpm I can do with a metronome ….bam bam bambabam..Something like that. Patting my foot seems to work better e.g. patting my foot to the down beats of “Save The Last dance” seems to get me closer to the backing track down beats.
