2 thumbs up for me! Do you want me to make backing track for you of this song?

[glibguy3]

@denniseclipse - We made a great backing rack for this song in Nashville. Very professional. I haven't posted playing with it yet but may in the future. Thanks for the offer though. I went to your link and you have an awesome site.

You hit that high altissimo D at 2:02!  Go head brotha!

[glibguy3]

It was altissimo D. Every sax has a different way of hitting altissimo notes...just have to figure out what works for you and your setup. Really not hard to hit on this internet cheap special I paid $200.00 for...LOL!!

[antonio89yahoo]

very nicely done...  Jay Beckenstein, I'm sure would be proud... KUDOS!

[glibguy3]

I can't hold a candle to Jay. He is a consummate artist, innovator, a gentleman, and a good father. I only play his music because I enjoy it so much and it's mentally soothing and therapeutic. Thanks JAY BECKENSTEIN !!!

[Swaggerlot]

Very cool and brave to take on a solo like that unsupported. I enjoyed it.

[laportella]

felicitaciones al joven saxofonista,mas empeño,esta en el camino.

[sosax02]

I love your playing

[lokrat2]

what mouthpiece was that? I play tenor, but I'm looking for a new mouthpiece

[antonio89yahoo]

HAHA! I know it was altissimo D....

But you know that cheap Chinese horn can't hide your CHOPS... I hear your technique... KUDOS!

[MusicalxKikai]

Sorry, but that was a high D. Altissimo D is practically impossible(Only very few people can do it) BTW Good job guy :D

[lokrat2]

wow congrats, if you learned this by yourself, which I am doing now, on tenor, it's hard work especially the fast vibrato parts

[ZEG8704]

Good work! Actually: I have a musicalinstrument which I´ve builded by myself, it´s a kind of a clarinet and a saxophone made by a plastic pipe with a nozzle from a clarinet. You can take a look on my youtubeside: ZEG8704 if you´re intresting. Just search on "My 1:st invention" ;-)

[arran45678]

great job i wish i could play like that but im still learning in school and im only in grade 7

[Bigjohnnywad]

NICE! Awesome job...

[phillyphan80]

nice High C at the end, i never could hit that... but then again i was only a freshmen in highschool

[czarkycuevas]

great job.the notes are uncunningly the same as the original. only sometimes the tempo goes faster than the original and also some notes lack vibrato like in the original.

[cosmic905]

[imperialscot]
