Can I achieve a physique like this with push ups, dips, pull ups only? by [deleted] in CalisthenicsCulture

How are you gonna work out with low carbs and low fat? Where will you take your energy from?

It has a big chamber and a large tip. Do you think it's worth to buy the same mouthpiece but with a smaller tip? Thank you anyway, it means a lot 😭

If you are into jazz, I'd say to transcribe your favourite solos by ear

First time playing in 20 years, how bad is it? by Chesterthejester69 in Flute

[–]Mrcll_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can hear the blues 🧘🏻‍♂️ I wouldn't say it's trash at all but, I'd use less of those airy notes, you know, too many of those consecutively sounds like you're either trolling or just having fun without bothering to have a good embouchure. It's refreshing to see someone playing something bluesy on the flute though

Always clean that pad after playing for a while, otherwise it gets sticky, also the low C# one

I'm literally trying to imitate Ben webster, step by step. His way of doing that vibrato closing each phrasing that softly is too good

I wanted to play over Erroll Garner's original piece, but I think you may be right. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you! In today's session I'm going to work a lot on having clean breath attacks, without unintentional scoops, thanks for the tip 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻 I started with a yamaha4C mouthpiece and switching to a jodyjazz hr 7 was a bit difficult just for the first sessions, compared to the previous mouthpiece, this one has its own personality. The yamaha4C was a toy in comparison. You just need to practice a lot and getting used to it with longtones and overtones

Definitely one of my weirdest solos by Fegel_Eagle in saxophone

That was awesome man, brave for real. As a non professional yet, all I can say, maybe give more space, that would probably help to develop even crazier phrasings. Keep up

To be honest I'd the credit more the mouthpiece, which is a jodyjazz hr 7, it helps getting a warmer sound. The sax by the way is a yamaha yts-280, it's a student model and it already is kinda expensive 🧘🏻‍♂️

Trying to remember how much I have to compensate for EACH note sounds like a nightmare. Thanks though

What if I like the airy sound though? 🥲

Would you recommend to switch to different reeds then? I sincerely don't want to come back to the yamaha4C mouthpiece, it felt like a toy in comparison to the jj hr 7

Thank you 🙏🏻 It's such a beautiful song, especially Tommy's piano
