Hi Walley,

I didn’t know I have to upload my music file to another site.

So if I upload my vid on youtube everybody can see it.

I am not a big fan because of rude and gratuitos comments (at any rate in France).

However, many thanks for the informations.

Someone to help me to embed the vid please ?

I live in an apartment too and it is an obligation for me to play outdoor because my neighbour upstairs is particularly sensitive to noise and above all : hunter.

So… I play alternately in the forest and with my friends in a place we rent once a week.

Here a short video taken 2 years ago for a friend who loves Sade (whith some choristers in the background).

Bravo !

Thanks to all of you for your tips and comments.

Brother Cavefish, I apreciate your helping hand but I am afraid that my throat is a little bit sensitive to play long high notes for solos. Especially in front of ten thousand fans ! ;D

Johnny, it’s exactly what I love with learning music and particularly this beautiful and surprising instrument : test many different things thanks to people who have experience with and/or knowledge about it and discover new things along the way.

My one regret is not having discovered the saxophone earlier.

Hi everyone,

I’ve encountered similar difficulties as Patrick and his phrase “as soon as I put the mouthpiece into my mouth my throat is not able to roar…” sounds very familiar to me.

After repeated research online, I found out that two main techniques are often suggested.

I’ve started trying the first one : just roar into the sax. But I could’nt stop coughing… No doubt : I was pretty bad in lion

After being discouraged for a while I have recently moved on to the next : just sing (hum) a note but not the same as you are playing. And this time… It works !

But only for the first note played, because I can’t hold one after another for the moment, but it’s just a start and with time, training and persévérance…

I hope this may help.

I like the idea too.

I’ve just purchased “How To Play Killer Blues & Rockin’ Sax Solos” and that would give me a great pleasure to participate.

Hey Saxomonica, you get the gloves at this price…

The intro reminds me a little bit “born to run”. I love the way you are super comfortable with the growl. Great solo Mike !

[Stanislas Gaillard]

Thank you Mike ! I have viewed your videos… Wow ! Great sound !

Hello Johnny ! Yes the Gipsy Kings are originally from Spain, but most of them are french from a region in the south of France, where the influences of gipsy music are very strong. Many of their singles (bamboleo, djobi-djoba…) have been a big success in the 1980s. Good times !

Thanks again for your helpful site for welcoming me !

Hey Mel,

Yes I am sure it is just after a few hours spent in researches and reading.

See you !
