You were burning flames on that one bro, thanks for posting.

Thanks for listening

Working on this song with my tenor. listening to you, Bruce, I have a lonnnnggg way to go. You do such a wonderful job!

[@coopman1948]

I use a Boss VE-20 voice processor on the horn. It has like 30 presets. I mainly use the Rock and the Ballad presets. It’s costly, $250 - $300, but well worth it to me. It really adds fullness and body to the sound.

Sounds very pleasing, well played Mr. Coopman. ;)

[@coopman1948]

[@lindsaylittle6535]

I just had to come back and listen to you again to get inspired.

[@coopman1948]

Go to jazzbacks.com and get the backing track for around $7.50. It includes the sheet music for the melody. The solos, your on your own but feel free to copy anything I’ve done on this channel. I play for the love of the game.

[@lindsaylittle6535]

Thank you Bruce. Will do and I appreciate you taking the time to respond!@@coopman1948

Hey I’m trying to learn tenor at the moment, I’ve got the song down good enough but my tone just isn’t quite right. Do you have any tone suggestions for me to sound more like this?

[@coopman1948]

Here’s my tips. You can’t correct your tone if you can’t hear it. I always practice with headphones so I can clearly hear what I’m playing. Practice Long Tones, play a note and hold it 5 or 6 seconds. The biggest thing to making the sax sound good is adding some effects. I use the Boss VE-20 voice processor. It’s a bit pricey, in the $300 dollar range, but it has over 30 presets already built into the unit. You can also harmonize with yourself as I do in some of my videos.

[@solomann940]

👌👌👌🙏🏼

[@lindsaylittle6535]

Back again for more inspirations 4/1 LOL!

[@coopman1948]

Take as much as you want. Get yourself some headphones and listen to yourself while playing with the backing track. The sound will immerse you in another world. It also helps you improve your sound.

[@toddlaber2325]

hey coopman1948 i like your sax playing i play alto sax next month at the end of march 2024 it will be one year since i started playing the saxophone i love it i love it i think i'm cool playing it and stuff someday i want to play in a band and perform in front of people i also want to get a girlfriend im 41 years old, have a good day.

[@coopman1948]

Hey Todd. Thanks for checking out my video. I’ve been playing for over 65 years and I enjoy it more now than ever. Stick with your saxophone. It can be a lifetime of enjoyment.

[@toddlaber2325]

@@coopman1948 i certainly will thank you so much sir just gotta keep practicing.

[@johnwhyte-venables2167]

How'd you get away with this? I tried the same thing - posting a video of me playing Summertime on tenor me using the same JazzBacks backing track - and both Facebook and KZbin issued me with a mute notice, alleging copyright infringement. All I was allowed to post was a short extract of my solo. C'est domage.

[@coopman1948]

That’s a bummer. I’m in the United States. There are different copyright issues in different countries. I load all my videos from my iPad not my desktop. I mark them for public viewing and not for kids. Nearly all of my videos are marked as copyright by KZbin, surprisingly this one isn’t. I have also loaded this on Facebook with no issues. Again, loading from my iPad. I hope this helps.
