These technical tips and tricks are awesome. I find myself way too often getting caught up in transcribing and trying to learn new music theory that I neglect practicing the basics and searching for a better sound, and this was an immediate difference in the sound of my low notes. Thank you!

Hey Pablo! That's awesome. Yeah, those correct tongue positions can fix problems right away. What are you transcribing these days?

I've been playing a tenor for about seven years now. I have not taken any lessons except for watching youtube videos. I am finding from watching your online lessons that I am playing properly in many respects. I am a poorly disciplined player. Mostly I turn on my favorite jazz station and play along. I try to match the tone of the players I admire. In the process of doing so I guess I discovered how it's done. BTW, I recommend that new players get a teacher. I wish I had started taking lessons about 60 years ago. You see, I am seventy now.

@@ScottPaddock one of the things you have helped me understand is how to use chord progressions while playing a single note instrument. I play with a group- guitar, bass, congas and my flute and sax. The guitar player doesn't like to solo because he can't hear the chords. I'm gonna try using your suggestions of outlining chords so he can hear them and build a solo. I am amazed at your skills Scott. Not only are you a monster player but you can precisely name exactly what you're going to play and how you are gonna play it. Occasionally I have a lucky accident and blow a killer solo. I do hear the chord progression and play off of it but I need to learn how to do so intentionally.Thanks for everything brah.

Scott thanks very much for your knowledge and experience. I am at work now but cant wait to get home and try this out.

It may be a little bit of all of the above.
