[@Dumythic_Teck]

Hi hows it going, I have been loving playing your music because it helped me get back into playing my sax, but now that im back to the level that I used to be your music is a little easy. So I was wondering if you could maybe make some harder songs. Some ideas could be the lyrics from pink floyds song Money. You could also do something like eye of the tiger. I know that these songs are much longer and harder so if you just want to stick with easier songs that are easier and faster to make for everyone else I completely understand. Thank you for everything that youve done for me and I hope your channel becomes mainstream to help beginning players :)

[@groundedgabe4575]
