You are probably struggling because it doesn’t sound like a dying cat like clarient does and you are confused :upside_down_face:

pretend like you are starting to say the word ‘victory’ - that’s your embochure

check out Bettersax.com - I learned on a bari - other than more air its not that hard

As a former (not very good) clarinet player, I feel like I should be insulted by this… :thinking:

Which game is this? Reminds me of Yousician but with better song selection.

Rocksmith 2014 (yeah, it’s fairly old now :joy:),
Literally thousands of free custom tracks though (even made a handful myself! (albeit not brilliantly :smile:).

£25 on steam, but goes on sale fairly often for less than half that, one super simple mod takes literally seconds, and a £2.69 dlc song to be able to play them. (official “RealTone” usb cable can be pricey, but it’s pretty easy to mod to use an audio interface instead too), can’t go wrong with it really!

Unsung and the entire Meantime album by Helmet have a gravitational pull on my ears. I was enjoying checking out the vids, but that song. It has woven itself into my genetic makeup.

Great job on a very good song! And thanks for getting it back in my ears. It had been too long.

very underrated band! :slightly_smiling_face: and pretty fun to play, even though it’s really simple :smile:

90s was such a great time for music! :grin:

@Old_WannaBe I totally forgot about those. Are they the ones that changed colour when your body increased in temperature?

Yep, or when someone touched them.

These are all very good, and you have fast fingers and some darn good technique, however, I would suggest you break away from the video game and start learning tunes, memorizing, internalizing what you are playing vs. just churning out what comes flying down the screen.

Please note I am not trying to be negative, and am not against video games or using them for learning. This is also not a ding towards you, but rather a suggestion to start feeling the music vs. playing the game. Hope that makes sense.

Would also like to see you larger to be able to see your playing vs. all the video business.

I totally hear you, very much appreciate your comments :slightly_smiling_face:
Really wanted to go out and get an amp today actually, then I can start getting back into actual tab and get a few memorised etc. but the bills said nope, not today… :sob: lol.

yeah, I kinda just used an existing scene for quickness :joy: I’ll rearrange things at some point :smile:
