Lesson 1: Buzzing
In this lesson Bobby talks about how to create a pure buzz using an exercise he calls "Genesis Exercise." Focus is given to creating a clean sound by eliminating double buzzes and spittle.
I've actually been doing this for a couple years. Now I have something to call it. =)
I did one of the Salsa-to-Church sequences a few weeks back, come to think of it. No piccolo involved, but I hadn't played a legit gig since Easter, and this one was sprung on me with about 18 hours notice. Good to see it's not my own exclusive hell. =P
