Hey David, getting better every day. One question. On Bending Study 2, Feeling For The Blues, if I can hit the F#, but it sounds hollow or metallic and not like the other notes on Three Blind Mice Riff. Is there a common problem that I am dong that does trouble to the sounds and the reeds. Yours all sound the same as far as quality. More like horn notes.

Focus on pitch right now, tone will come over time. It takes years to develop good tone while bending, so keep process oriented... it will come with time.
