When I first got my Roland guitar synth, I loved being able to play sax lines and took some of my solos that way. One night shortly after I got it, I was deep into what I thought was a decent “sax” solo when one of my band mates yelled “Breathe!!! Sax players have to breathe!” at me. He made me realize that I’d been playing guitar solos using the sound of a saxophone but not the spirit.
Ever since then, I’ve let my own breathing guide a lot of my playing. I’m not into yoga or spirituality, but it does feel right.
