Hey guys,
I've been having a lot of trouble with my sound lately and I was wondering if I could get some feedback from you guys. It would be greatly appreciated. The audio clip I posted is just some random improv of me playing over a mixolydian b6 mode that I was messing around with, nothing virtuosic. I'm looking for comments on:
- what elements of my sound need work?
- what elements of my sound you like?
- originality of my sound...or do I sound like a clone?
- possible ways/exercises of improving my tone?
And please I'm not interested in talking about the gear I use...to me that is all secondary.
I'm aiming one day to achieve a nasally sound much like that of Kenny Garrett so if any of you have any advice on how to do that it would be greatly appreciated.
And a little background info on myself. I just started my first year of uni doing a Bmus in Melbourne, Australia where I'm majoring in jazz/improv performance. I've been playing 'jazz' for around 2 years but originally I was classically trained on the clarinet and saxophone from the age of 11. My main axe is the alto (which I'm playing in the audio clip) but I also play a lot of sop.
Thanks for taking the time to listen/read/give feedback. I really appreciate it as it'll go a long way in helping me improve my playing. Hope you all enjoy
