• Hey Klaus, your days will vary dramatically as you are learning so it is important to find what exactly you can do consistenly, day to day, no matter how much you play.

    Can you play an effortless, resonant low C every day? If so, a D and so on when. At what stage does it all fall apart? This is all a part of your awareness development.

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic Decrescendo problem in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey Dirk, it is such a fine balncing act but I would suggest that it is a combination on both active support/flow and aperture size. I think this is so complex that the sound should determine the “work” involved and the feeling of BCH throughout is necessary.

    Maintaining pitch is important of course as is tone purity. If the aperture remained…[Read more]

  • Hey there Yveline, welcome to WindWorks and thanks for your post.

    The answer to the chromatic is to slow it right down.

    Some people like the idea of really hammering the fingers down.

    Another suggestion is swapping hands and developing it with your left hand fingers; this uses a different part of the brain and when you swap back it seems…[Read more]

  • Hey Klaus, welcome! There is no set time but if you repeat and repeat and repeat the Foundation LeveL processes as explained, on a daily basis, you will be surprised how quickly things can happen.

    I don’t know whether you play golf but 6 weeks ago I started teaching myself how to play golf left handed after playing very badly right handed for…[Read more]

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic Coming Back After a Break in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey John, thanks for the post! It’s ok to have “those” days, don’t push it. What you have done before, you can do again; as you alluded to, you can’t have a PB everyday.

    Be cool when things don’t work, just observe what is going on and put your horn away. It is those experiences that allow you to develop your awareness to get to the next…[Read more]

    Yeah, I recommend Google Chrome. I’ll check it out.

    Cheers.

    Hey Jim, it is there, it can take a second to load. What browser (google, firefox, safari etc) are you using?

    Cheers,

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic Bottom lip in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey there Thomas, do you think your lip was rolling before Xmas and you have only just noticed it? If that is the case, do what you did in the first place to find the placement.

    If you have been doing it all along, watch each video closely and slowly, it is explained in great detail through the Foundation Level. MmmmAaaahOoooh, tissue,…[Read more]

  • Hey there Elgin, thanks for your post. It is a little vague so really understanding exactly what they mean and exactly the issue is hard to determine.

    “Holding” air implies closing the throat?! If that is the case it is cetainly undesirable.

    “Upper Chest” sounds like a reference to Claude Gordons approach to the expanded chest. We can get…[Read more]

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic How to progress? in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey there Francis, I encourage people to move forward when they are comfortable even if the PROCESS isn’t completely pure. As long as there is an awareness of the “Point of Difference” and people persist with the pure process at their own level, experimenting with the more advanced lessons is totally fine.

    Have a great New Year.

    Cheers,
    Greg

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic Air stream, tissue in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey there Elgin, just posting for otheres to see, as I mentioned to you in my private message, this will all be discussed in great detail in the Ultimate Level. Cheers my friend. Greg

  • Hey guys. I am totally unqualified to give any medical advice sadly. What I hope is that if the condition began after surgery is that as you recover, things will get back to normal. Lets face it, only 5 weeks is not very long after major surgery.

    Have you experimented with holding other items i.e. a cup of water, does the same thing…[Read more]

  • Hey Francis, Merry Xmas!

    There are no rules! It does not surprise given the extra lip “cushion” you might have would affect what rim works best.

    If it feels good and sounds good, it’s good. To quote Bobby Shew “not everyone wears the same size pair of shoes”.

    Thanks for sharing and I welcome other peoples thoughts and experiences.

    All the…[Read more]

  • “Phew!” 🙂 All the best.

  • Hey Peter, watch Adagio Long Tones again and press pause at 1:33 and have a peek in the subtitles 😉 Cheers. Greg

  • OK, I have written the exercise to show what length of note I want – crochets, quavers etc. I am not concered about and never mention bars at all. Just stick to the click of the metronome and how many beats you can play. Watch this video again – https://mysterytomastery.com/lesson/largo-c-practice-progress-chart/ Cheers, Greg

  • Hey Peter, I am really trying to see things from your angle – I am as confused at what you are saying as you are at me.

    I’m going to get my head around it, it want to understand what you are saying as I am sure you won’t be the only having this issue. Merry Xmas.

    Stand by…

  • So a lot has happened over the last couple of week and is continuing now and it is not all good unfortunatetly. A very serious family illness has stalled all golf research and WindWorks Ultimate Level development.

    That being said, when my brain can cope with thinking about golf, it is amazing how some of the very basics are starting to solidify.…[Read more]

  • Hey there Bennie, if you can find it once, you can find it again, it’s just awareness and repetition. The visualiser and tissue is the best way to go.

    I have given private lessons to several WindWorks users and rarely is the process done correctly. In fact, now that I write that it deserves a post of it’s own.

    Really watch closely all of the…[Read more]

  • Greg Spence replied to the topic Stutter/hesitation attacks in the forum WindWorks 7 years ago

    Hey there Ed, welcome and thanks for using WindWorks. You need to focus on the soft, slow, eyes closed BCH breath and then watch this:

    The problem is usually that kick of air with the simultaneous tightening of the lips, akin to trying to put your finger on a guitar sting and strumming at exactly the same time #goodluck 🙂

    Merry Xmas.
