I took a gig with one of those big $ corporate/wedding bands for the end of this month. I'll be playing a lot of the usual fare, lots of 70s funk, pop, etc (Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, etc).
One thing I'm having issue with, and it's been a weakness of mine for a long time, is tonguing fast. One song as an example, September by EWF... there is a 2-measure all 16th note (staccato) pattern that is in the song a few times and my tongue just cannot keep up.
Can anyone offer any exercises/advice to help me get this up to speed in a few weeks?
Thanks!
