Godot – The Fragrance of Dark Coffee (alto sax)

I used Daigasso! Band Brothers for bass and a cheap digicam… Ain’t the greatest quality you’ll find. I’ll surely make another one when I’m on a higher budget… After a couple takes I’d say this one is the most tolerable, so here it is.

    I love this.

  14. Nice. I would …
    Nice. I would suggest a little less tounging near the beginning, (and for the whole song, for that matter) with these kind of songs you’re looking for a swing, and slurs and very light tongues are what you’re gonna need for it to really captivate the listener.

    You’re doing great though, I love this song and you made it sound spectacular. Great job. :)

    Yeah, that sounds …
    Yeah, that sounds good to me! In the coming weeks I’m gonna go ahead and do another take. I just got a new sax and there are a few things about this video that I think I could change for the better, so you know. I’ll let you know what’s good in the near-enough future.

    Nice performance – you interested in entering the performance competition on Gyakusheets? I’ll accept Youtube vids as well as mp3s ^^

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll check out the local music store later on and see if I could grab a box. I’m looking at the description on usareeds . com. *shrug* Description sounds nice enough. Never have been too into looking for the right parts, though I did invest in a Vandorin v16 mouthpiece a while back.

    Basically, it’s a thicker, higher-quality cane that allows for a richer sound. ;)

  19. Would you mind …
    Would you mind explaining the difference? Because I’m still a newbie, I’m still using the default reed I got when buying my alto.

  20. Definitely the best …
    Definitely the best version of this beautiful piece on YouTube. Very nice! ^^ I would recommend some other reeds, though–Rico anything is generally mediocre at best. Dunno if they make them for sax, but I would recommend Vandoren reeds.

    2.5 Rico Royal. Hope to see your video soon!

  23. Hey yo you two are …
    Hey yo you two are not alone. I myself are currently practicing this tone. By the way astralix, if you want to find the sheets go to court-recordsnet (check music section) or gyakusheetscom (I forgot whether it’s com or net well just try both, necessarily).
    And Det. Tuesday, what kind of reed did you use? Hope I can perfect my play soon and I’ll post a video ASAP.

  24. indeed!

    indeed!

    finally found someone who agrees with me :p
