Thank you so much Bob for these straight forward useable ideas & examples. Also to add, that you have an absolutely beautiful Tenor sound & a very supportive open teaching manner. Best wishes. Pb
I've been shedding some Monk this week too! Friday the 13th and Ask Me Now, both such cool tunes. Also, I know this video isn't about mouthpieces, but the piece you're playing in this video sounds fantastic!
Smokin' Bob!!! Q: do you find it easier to take the Arpeggio approach vs the Scales approach to play against the chord changes? Q: Do you ever feel restricted by you decision to only play Arpeggios vs Scales when creating your melodies over the chord changes?
Certainly helpfull. I will apply in my practice upon Batida diferente from Cannomball Adderley. I had memorize the melody in improvisation. I discovery beatifull lines upon the Amaj7. Thanks mister. When i finish 4 solos from Cannomball i will make a practice with you.
Random question, I never noticed till now but you puff your cheeks when you play notes in the lower register and I was wondering if there was a specific reason for that? Love your channel by the way
Very helpful There’s something about learning and practicing « how the sausage is made » that takes a bit of the magic away of listening. Do you think we have to choose between listening and learning or is there more enjoyment that can come from both learning and listening?
My experience (I'm a serious player, went to college, etc ) is that I was so fascinated by what I was hearing that I needed to understand it, needed to be able to replicate it. The joy of listening naturally led to learning... not everyone has that same kind of fascination, and I think it's perfectly fine if they want to stop at the listening part. Different people can enjoy the same thing in different ways.
This one's not about mouthpieces. I promise. Get more ideas to improve your practice bobsvirtualstudio.com »

🙏🏻 thanks. And btw: you sound great! Hope that mouthpiece is comfortable 😉
I mean this is cool and really helpful, but what mouthpiece is that?
Asking the real questions. 👏👏
It's a tone edge. I'm 90 percent sure of it, I'd bet a 9 or 9*

Can you talk about finding a backing track, like the bass? Did you use a stem isolator, like Noises?
Ok, forget the mouthpiece. But what about your backing track? What is that? Sounds great.

I hadnt noticed this either. Would be cool to get an answer
I think it is a way to do the subtones.
I want to transcribe that walking bass line behind you. Thank you for this Bob. When to move on is always a challenge for me. I tend to stay too long.
Hey Bob I see your at 105k subscribers have you gotten your play button yet?
I have
yeah but what mouthpiece?
