I’ll be working on my recorded sound today. I’m using garage band, audient interface . ribbon preamp. ribbon mic and carbon onyx reeds medium trying to put some buzz into the sound.7* slant sig 2 mouthpiece.

Nice sounding Buzz.Would you say that you have your mouthpiece a bit right of center? Great sound

Will the coupon code still work for “Good Golly..

I could bring Good Golly Miss Molly up from Johnny’s email announcement bu not from the song page.

Hi Jazz Cat
I get a warbly sound playing the low C with my Guardala MB II fat boy tenor. Tip opening is 8* or 116. When I blow my 7* mouthpieces there is no warble. I assume the larger tip opening contributes to a warble wound.

Hi Alexandra
I once had a Vandoren Java T-95..high baffle and lots of squeaks and very loud. Competes with trumpets. I moved down to the T-75. Still very loud and less squeaks. Last year or the year before I bought a MBII and a MBII fatboy. I prefer a 7* mouthpiece. The MB’s came in one tip opening. About an 8. I do have a carbon fiber MB…[Read more]

Thanks Johnny. I first heard “I Remember Loving You, a duet by Priscilla Herdman and Utah Phillips a few years ago. Utah Phillips sings in the style of Pete Seeger, and Priscilla Herdman sings in the style of Joan Baez.
I have a soundcloud account. I need to learn how to delete some music that I posted years ago. Cheers and thanks again for…[Read more]

“Help Yourself” ala Tom Jones. “Me and Bobby McGee” is still on the Music stand. Also added to the music stand is “Help Your Self” ala Tom Jones. Backing tracks for both songs are loaded into GarageBand> Not easy keeping up with backing tracks. They move along at a good clip. “All I want for Christmas is You” – best Christmas tune.

Thanks Johnny,
I found a karaoke backing track ala Jerry Lee Lewis. So I loaded the backing track on to my Garage Band so I’ll be recording myself, just Me and Bobby McGee. I have the sheet music in my Bb music book. The backing track is in C major and my sheet music is in D major so we’er good to go.

Thanks for all the info guys. I solved my sound problem. I used a fiber carbon reed recommended by Johnny, and my mouthpiece today is a theo wanne slant sig 2, tip opening 7* and enlighten ligature. In the past I was using a carbon Onyx reed but today the carbon reed had a nice buzz https://www.howtoplaysaxophone.org/product/carbon-tenor/

Looks like “I heard it through the grapevine” is in the key of F minor. the music is divided into 12 bars and 8 bars, and some smaller divisions for the short solos. Is this music a type of blues? Sounds like a motown rhythm and blues

This morning the horn was ok when I went from middle
b to high G with the octave Key. I’ll blow “I heard it through the grapevine”. I might just be my lip etc. Thanks Johnny

How about some reggae like “Brown Skin Girl”, Tiny Winey, or some Reggae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nuihAonUwg
