After a few days of trying I am finding that I can get a few altissimo notes, I can start on A and work my way up, (the “G” I find hard as yet).
I was trying to get a sound similar to David Sanbourn (ha ha… yeah right!) on the Roger Waters “Pro’s and Cons of Hitchhiking” …. On track 2, I believe, he (David) starts a piece with a high “A”, and sort of bends the note before going down the scale…. My question is how the hell do you bend altissimo notes (A in this case)? I can just about hit the A if I concentrate and don’t change my breathing, but as soon as I even try to move either my tongue, throat or even “think” of changing the note, it screams into something that would give a bat a heart attack.
Anyone who has the album and could throw me a bone... thank you.
