Re: long tones

Author: bstutsman

For me long tones are essential. Mostly because I tend to play with too much tension and the long tones help me get in a mode of relaxation.

I will use roots and fifths in half notes. I will start on low E and up to B, E (bottom line), B (middle line), E (top space) and back down all slurred and relaxed. Then I do the same the from low F, F#, G, etc. I will do this until I feel relaxed and have the reed setup comfortably. I do this while watching a tuner.
