    Very nice warmup! I recently use basically the same exercise to memorize scale degrees :D Printed out it looks like this: 1357-6543 2461-7654 3… etc. and the inverted Version: 6427-1234 5316-7123 4… etc. This has done soo much for me in such a short time. Apart from getting the chords under my fingers, it dramatically boosted my ability to transpose by making me see/think tunes in scale degrees.

  • @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton
    @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton ปีที่แล้ว

    I extensively play-tested the bronze (no silver bell) versus the bare brass (no silver bell) @ NAMM 2023 and bought the latter, largely on the strength of the bronze one HAVING "a sound." It leads you into Texas/balls. The brass is perhaps more lyrical. I'm currently favoring getting the bronze 2 voices alto, however. Somehow the bronze on alto is less directional. YOur thoughts?

  • @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton
    @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought the bare brass tenor and just play-tested several of the models this weekend. The solid bronze tenor would be a horn that has "a" sound - big, beefy, Texas tenor, but the 2 voices is the same horn with a solid silver bell (it also comes in brass + silver bell). I cannot hit altisimmo G and G# on any of them (and I've been playing for 50 years). Some say having the high F# key helps (I don't like them and it's not on my bare brass). But even with the high F# key, I couldn't get those notes to pop out (no problem with any of the others). Do you have this problem? Any suggestions? I am going to also buy either the two voices or the Solista alto, I like them both.

    • @sespublic505
      @sespublic505 ปีที่แล้ว

      Can't speak for the tenors, but I had a similar issue with the R&C R1 Jazz sopranos. I bought the silver and gold plated curved soprano they had on display at NAMM 2023. I also have a semi-curved gold plated R1 Jazz soprano. The semi-curved is very free-blowing, the fully curved is much more resistant. I found them to be "mouthpiece sensitive" in the upper register. They tend to respond better with small-medium chamber mouthpieces. Best response was with an old Selmer S80 square chamber I've had for 30+ years. Next best was Beechler 7, then Bari 68. Funny though, I can get up to altissimo D on my old trusty Yamaha 62, pops right out.

    • @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton
      @JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton ปีที่แล้ว

      @@sespublic505 Hi, I don't know if we met at NAMM or not, I'm the tall white guy who was trying out the tenors. I remember Claudio mentioning that someone bought the soprano on display. I was using my Drake Pete Christleib (small/medium chamber) at NAMM, but I've since bought a Francois Louis Spectruso 9* (I had a 10* for 12 years, wore it out) and it responds better. Still no high G, though. I also have a Yamaha Purple Logo soprano. Altissimo notes pop right out. In 2014, I tried a Keilwerth soprano and I couldn't even get the palm keys. I think it's the large bore on all of these horns. I am currently playing my 1924 Conn New Wonder tenor on the East coast, no high G there, either! I think the harmonic window is just too small. No problems on my Mark VI tenor at all. Do you R&C sopranos have high F# and high G keys? Some say the high F# key allows high G to pop out on all tenors. I hate those keys and none of my horns have them. I actually flew to Springfield, MS to try a bunch of R&C tenors at Palen Music. Some had the high F# key, it didn't help.

Thank you for posting a transcription. I tried unsuccessfully many times to transcribe myself and play along. I really enjoy being able to now play it properly (not as good as you obviously). Is it possible to have a backing track or could you point me in the direction of what sort of backing is. many many thanks. Russ
