Working on “Satisfaction”. Great driving backing track. On measure 54 going from F# to D do you slur F# F E Eb D very fast; same in measure 20. All during the Coda it’s hard to keep up. Something to work on.

Johnny;
I have a 54 seconds mp3 of “You’re Wondering Now” down loaded into my “GarageBand”. I’m assuming the track is in the key of A. So I’m playing a B pentatonic one it. I added that 54 seconds on to the back of the 1st 54 seconds giving me 108 seconds of practice time with a B pentatonic

“You’re Wondering Now” words and music by Clement Dodd. My music is in C major. When I play along with the video my C major on tenor sax sounds OK so maybe the video is in Bb, and maybe I’m tone deaf. I’ve been playing around with song for a while. I have no backing track

I put two pressure plates in the bell of my tenor and the sax sounded more in tune as my yamaha tuner indicated. Overall sound was richer. Thanks for the tip SXPOET
