Rod, just learning to play an alto sax after many years of guitar/vocals/harmonica (and a little clarinet in jr. high). I'm loving it and your style of playing is exactly what I'm shooting for, so your videos are very inspirational. Thanks!
I know there are some wrong notes and not my best playing. This was done some time ago and I plan to re do this song soon. It was also kind of choppy along the way, sorry if I offended anyone. I will only get better until I give it up all together.
Hello... nice to hear you playing "Garota de Ipanema". Just take care: 1:11 you hit a wrong note. If you are playing in G concert (E to the alto sax), the chord at that point is D7(b9, #4) and the note in melody is the #4, I mean g# (F natural to alto). Same in 2:08.
understand the meaning of each note of this beautiful music, I can say that their interpretation is very good, so included in your channel, great job, congratulations ...
You're just Fantastic my man ! Thank you for uploading this and all your videos,they're a real inspiration for other players like me it's really helpful.
Rod C, I really appreciate your videos. I admire your ability to play all styles. You motivate me to work harder to realize my dream of just playing. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so I try to emulate you when I practice. Thank you for your post.
some of you here are just nothing but a trash talking piece of shit. can't you just admit that he's got talent, unlike your untalented selves? I hope your trash talk made yourselves feel better, since that's the only way you make yourselves feel good about your pathetic lives: demeaning others.
Great feeling through the horn! Good job!

no hay malas notas, solo hace falta atacar algunas notas porque se escuchan debiles, saludos!

@abdalan there are no wrong notes, just notes that might sound better :)

@deadneutral The way Tom Jobim composed and his choice of notes is the better for that part, you bet.

Great Performance, tone, rythm , phrasing. It sounds sweet and exciting at the same time , just as the Girl from Ipanema must have been !
