Ghost note tonguing is an important vocalizing technique to make the sound like ‘n’, and a saxophonist can play like a vocalist doing scat. Use the tip of my tongue to mute the reed a little bit. And When I pull my tongue, I move it very fast and I can articulate the note right after ghost note. Demonstrations are practicing ghostnote with metronome in even 8th feel and shuffle feel and also multiple techniques used in one phrase, like glissando down and ghost note tonguing.
