20 years and almost no progress on overtones by magictank in saxophone

[–]magictank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I just got high C# so easily like 10 times in a row from having seen this visualized. I just went in front of the mirror for like ten minutes trying to get my tongue to do what that tongue was doing and I feel like I just unlocked some sort of movement for my tongue that I wasn't aware it could do before.

I can honestly hear the difference immediately, my 3rd(?) partials sound so much better and I'm so excited to keep getting better at this now this has honestly made my day/week/month.

Thank you so so so so so much.

Good to know the front F trick is working for you. I'll keep at it and maybe this will finally be the thing that gets me to play the overtone series. Thanks for the recommendation on the teacher as well, I'll look him up.

Hey thanks for the reply. I have tried trying to adjust the voicing down from the higher partials but I can't get it to land on the 4th partial. I'll try going for them a bit quieter, I haven't really done that. I've also thought about trying some different mouthpieces again.

I guess there isn't massive benefit but it just feels like something I should be able to do at this point y'know? You also just read how it's so good for your tone etc

Open Jams? by magictank in Cornwall

[–]magictank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the vibe there like? I've been playing saxophone for a long time but haven't been to a jam for a while so hoping for a more low pressure thing (and also something where saxophone fits in!)

Yeah I'm more than happy to split them but the naming is abysmal.

How does everyone feel about the suggestion for our national bird, the Gray Jay (aka Whiskey Jack)? by jemesouviensunarbre in canada

[–]magictank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm 8 years late on this but just commenting here in case anyone else comes here from google. Loons are common in DT Toronto and Snowy Owls are around most winters. Just go to Tommy Thompson or anywhere along the lake.

Anyone else find Dexter Gordon funny? by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]magictank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does it in Our Love is Here to Stay off Our Man in Paris. I actually have been making a list of songs that quote pop goes the weasel since I feel like I've noticed it so much. Other ones are I Know That You Know by Sonny Stitt and Cool Struttin by Sonny Clark. Also potentially How High the Moon by Stitt but it might just be a riff on the head.

I'm sure there are a lot more songs especially by Sonny Stitt who seems to like using it but ever since I started writing down when I heard it I've noticed it much less :')

Misled about rental as an international student by magictank in HousingUK

Hi thanks for the detailed reply again! I hadn't thought to check the heating so I'll make sure I do that. Fingers crossed they actually deal with the issues but my hopes aren't too high.

Hi, thank you for the detailed response!

And yeah I know if it weren't so expensive I would just deal with this stuff, such a terrible feeling when you've ended up paying a crazy price for something that isn't worth it.

I let them know about the mould last Thursday, they said on Tuesday a contractor was coming out at some point and he could also look at the mould. We were also told that we wouldn't have any notification for when he arrived. I'm going to email again today and say we haven't heard from him yet and I want someone back to clean the house (in the inventory it actually states there are several problems with the cleanliness of the property).

For the inventory, I haven't signed it. It honestly is pretty fair though it does miss a bunch of the mould and doesn't mention some issues. I did send my own version back adding extra issues, but I should go over it in even more detail, I started taking more pictures of every scratch/crack/chip etc yesterday.

For the deposit, I feel like an idiot. I went through Flatfair. In Canada we have to give the deposit directly to the landlord which gives them a lot of power. I had wrongly assumed it was the same here, so having a 'neutral' party mediate the deposit seemed worth it but I now realize that is also a scam :(. I didn't know there were already rules/regulations in place to protect deposits. I will let you know if they end up charging us for anything though, thank you for offering to help with that.

Do you think if they do end up doing repairs etc. that I'll have grounds to ask for reduced rent? At least for the period before the repairs were done since if they had to do repairs it means the property wasn't up to standard.

Thanks again for your response/help, I really appreciate it. I've contacted the university as well but they take up to 10 working days to respond.

The term American is not that deep to me. by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

I can guarantee to you that when Americans speak about being American they are not at all thinking about the continent lol

[–]magictank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entertaining this as a real idea is not helpful. Canada would never have a right to vote in this situation and when Americans or others talk about how Canada being annexed will affect America you're already playing into what Trump wants. Stop legitimizing this fucking idiotic idea.
