Introduction Hello

[funkster]

Evening all. Just a little introduction. I'm Funkster from Dorset. Am new to the Sax (10 months) though have always been a fan. These forums were recommended to me by a strange furry cat (don't ask) so thought I'd pop in and give it a try.

Please excuse my general ignorance of all things Saxy! I look forward to bending your ears somewhat!

Hi Paul

Thanks for the welcome. As a newbie I'm currently playing an 'Bentley Music' Alto Sax (bought through eBay)which was relatively inexpensive. I'm teaching myself via the essential elements books and cd/dvd's among others and lovin' every minute!

What about you?

Cheers, Bob

Hi Bob
Dorset is very delightful, thank you, though my neighbours probably hate me at the moment hearing the noise of a badly played sax emanating from the spare room!!! :whistle:

All well in Welwyn?

 

[Bobby G]

Yep, thanks. No probs from the neighbours as I am the man playing alto in a grubby red Zafira to be found parked in lanes and laybys the length and breadth of the northern Home Counties!

I hope you sort out your problem as described in 'pimp my sax', I reckon Griff might be able to help, he is a sax-doctor who appears here from time to time.

Cheers, Bob

Sorry for the late one, but hi and welcome Funkster.

What about you?

I've been playing a year. Yamaha YAS 275. I've got one of the essential elements. To be honest I didn't like it. I got on better with John O'Neill's book Jazz method of saxophone. Also Jamey Aebersold Vol. 24 Major and Minor and Vol ? Maiden voyage are useful if you want to get into improv.

Cheers,

Paul
