on 9/27/2009 I'd just really like to know what exactly was taught in here. He didn't teach anything about the blues other than it's cool.

on 9/21/2009 I actually registered on eHow just to tell you to stop posting videos. You are horrible. You need to sell your horn and give the money to charity. Probably a charity for the deaf, because they have nothing against you. You should probably never buy another instrument, either. They seem to bring out the worst in you. I'm not kidding - a tapeworm probably has more musical sense than you. Please, for the sake of humanity, drop this non-sense about being a musician. You're actually making people hate music.

Video Transcript

"O'kay the blues wrap up. I am just going to break it down for you again one more time. You can play blues anywhere. It is the most widely used forum to play through. You can always make up a song and just tell the band to strike up a blues tune in whatever key that you pick. Use a G it is an easy one. The ones we went over were G, B flat, F, and E flat. Those are probably four mostly widely used ones around. You could go just about anywhere, sit in with someone and play blues music and no one would laugh at you, you are definitely doing something cool when you play blues. Just real quick again I might just play through some blues scales just kind of improvise myself with the metronome. I am obviously playing with myself so it is not going to be spectacular but I am just going to throw in some effects and kind of show you what I am talking about. Alright a little blues for you and that is my blues rap up with my saxophone basics for you. Thank you very much."
