I've been playing away and gaining bad habits for some time. I know I'm a lazy player, that shows in my sound clips and in my lack of disciplined practice regime. I hadn't really noticed a problem until I posted a sound clip, not sure which on, I could be bothered to look for and I've had a drink and probably couldn't find it anyway. Well someone mentioned, quite correctly that my tonguing was coming across as a du du du. I've had a listen to myself and they are absolutly right. My problem is that I don't think I've evre done it properly and now that I'm trying it's getting worse. If I touch my tongeue on the reed, build up the pressure in my mouth and then remove my tongue from the reed it sounds rubbish. I know it's not the be all and end all, but it's getting me down. It's probably more like therers a few things getting me down and maybe this is just one of them but I think I need to sort it out. Any sugestions? When people have sid in the past that they've lost direction or their mojo's gone, I don't think I really understood what they meant. Well now I do. It's not a nice place to be.
