      It's not about comparison or competition. It's about your freedom to express how the music moves you and how you communicate with the other players and listeners. Enjoy and love what you do, but reach out and investigate places you have never gone before with the music. It can be a disaster but keep experimenting at the same time work on mastering the basics. That's how you grow and keep from getting stagnant.

      +Jorge Daniel Well, I commonly play the "common four" of the sax family, Soprano, alto, tenor and bari. Soprano Bb clarinet, Bb Bass clarinet but very rarely anything else from the clarinet family. I play flute and piccolo, guitar and bass guitar, piano (though, admittedly I can probably barely count this). But I have basic understandings of many more too, but not enough to, let's say, actually read music on the instrument. and I'm 27, been playing saxophone since I was 12.

    This is awseome on many levels. I am just getting back into playing clarinet after 30 years doing just bass guitar and guitar. Wish I could afford a nice wood bass clarinet, as that was my main instrument in school. That being said, I often jam the bass line for Tank out when I pick up my fretless, as Cowboy Bebop is my alltime favorite anime. Well done, sir. I have actually never heard the full version with sax solo, but you killed it on the clarinet.

      Yes, I'm accustomed to playing jazz quite a bit. I recommend listening to a lot of it and trying to emulate what you hear. Transcribing solos (like this, or perhaps something not quite so hard) is a great way to start.

      +Brian Luna Bb or Bass? On Bb I use a Vandoren B45• (that is a "dot" -- they make many flavors of B45 though). On bass I use a Vandoren B50.
