XJAM: Shirushi (Test)
Q: What happens when you don't touch a saxophone for 3 weeks?
A: Your fingers get stiff, your embouchure gets slack, you start squeaking, and you can't play in tune...
...I want to punch myself...
Anyway, let me give some context.
I have a gig coming up and I decided to play the song Shirushi for it(yes, I know. SAO song again. Lay off me. I haven't had the chance to look up other songs cause I'm busy.).
Instead of playing it as a rock ballad, I chose to perform it in a jazz/funk/ballad fusion style.
Honestly, this is more of a 'proof of concept' if anything...(thus, 'test')
Why do I say this? Cause it's shoddy...very shoddy...
I'll probably post it again once I've finalized it...

Deletethis is a very enjoyable rendition to listen to, thank you for posting it, and you have +1 subscriber on youtube.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. I saw. I don't know if you subscribing to me was the best choice, but I'll try and make it worth your while.
DeleteMay I suggest Moanin' from Sakamichi no Apollon ( Kids On The Slope ) ?

Ah yes. Good song. I actually have the standard sheet. I've avoided it because the sheet music is already available in plentiful quantites, but...maybe I'll give it a shot.
DeleteSeriously, the song was really nice. Love it <3
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it could use a lot of polishing. Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
