I just started teaching myself how to play the saxophone a day ago. Before diving into learning scales, I decided to have my saxophone checked out. It turned out to have some leaks and dirty pads. It’s a second-hand alto saxophone, but it still looks brand new. I can't believe I got such a great deal on a Yamaha alto saxophone - it was very affordable! Unfortunately, I can’t play in my apartment because Japanese apartments aren’t built for musical instruments, so I have to rent a studio each time. This means I can only practice for about 2 hours per session, around 2 days a week. I’ll get my saxophone back on the 28th of this month since the technician is backed up with orders. In the meantime, I printed out all the major scales and am doing some online research. Any advice? Did you start by learning everything in the C Major scale first? I’d really like to get a tenor saxophone someday, but I’ll stick with the alto for now.

Hey man this was great I play tenor too and I was wondering where did u get the Pink panther notes/music I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t seem to find it Edit: sorry I wasn’t clear enough I meant the full song like how u played it

What notes did you used at day 5

Impressive

Seriously good, but on a lighter note,,,I will guess that he is not married and doesn't have kids!! Also how did you fit in a 'normal job' with a daily practice routine of 3 hours?? wow! Not doubting you at all, but I have 2 kids and a pretty wife so I can't be alone for 3 hours to play, they (all female) need me for something or rather too much! lol

Actual question - how do you get a clear tone and non-airy sound on saxophone? I’ve been playing for a while and I sound the same as when I began.

👍👍

I plan to try as a Adult with NO music knowledge at all =)

I'm 14 and I've been playing sax for 5 years and that is really good for 3 months. Playing scales as an exercise is amazing for growth and really helps you get better in the long run. It's good how you use licks with the scales to it will help during solos and other random times when you have to play fast notes

4 hours a day is crazy. Hats off to you sir

YOOOOOO this new editing is awsome man! I have a great question... how do you post covers on youtube or instagram without having copyright claims?

You sound good. Good job.

The progress he made even on day 2 was impressive. When I first got my alto a few years ago in middle school, I didn’t sound good and I couldn’t remember any fingerings. Once I got better after a few months, I switched to the tenor sax and I’ve been playing that for around 6 years. Amazing progress man

😂😂😂😂😂Not seriously...

Love it Bro! I'm thinking of learning Sax, I learnt Guitar at the start of this year and I can play a few instruments. But whenever I played in the local Ochestra I always admired the Saxophonists - I used to play as a Percussionist (Drums and all..). Any tips before I begin and could you possibly suggest a sax for me? I don't really want to buy more than 1 and it would be just for a hobby or to play with some mates. Thanks Bro.

don't stop making videos bro, love your content 👏

Been there, dun that on an alto. I was a bit younger but the need to practice for hours is the same. I progressed to be first chair up to but not including HS band. Then i quit for my own reasons.

Tips?

You were plsying a 3.6k saxophone after 10 months?? Damn

Here is a video that you can watch next! th-cam.com/video/wptUrl6C0P4/w-d-xo.html

Really incredible sound

I had just seen your first three month sax video and decided to see your channel today and all I have to say is immaculate work, 3 months of sax has brought you to here, your sound is amazing i just love to see other tenors like this, very impressed by your skill and how much you have built over 3 years

Bravissimo 🎉🎉

Genial song cover

Listen to some jazz guys. Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Stitt, Stan Getz, John Coltrane. Even other instrumentalists like Bill Evans and Dizzie Gilespie, Wes Montgomery, and countless others can offer a large insight into playing and developing a style and sound. Keep up the great work!

Well after 10 years of wanting to start. You have completely convinced me to start. I’m gonna get one . Thank you so much!

Just saw your three month vid wanted to jump forward to now, awesome

Can tou share the sheet music you used? The sound is amazing, congrats!

Sounding pretty good man! What do you use for your backing tracks and sheet music?

What progress!! On day 28 you play a huge amount better than me after 6 months of lessons once a week and practicing every day. I made my lips sore trying month

Inspiring. Learnt from your tunes and melodies. Great musical feast.

Sounds great man, what mouthpiece do you use?

This was very inspiring, thank you! I just watched the 3 month progress video, and seeing you go from that level to literal professional level gave me hope. I started the sax 2 days ago, and hope to be at your level one day :)

i am 9 and i can play any alto sax song

Hey, thanks for this. I'm new as well and this gives me a bar to reach for.

cool

Big inspiration! Really!

I coldn't tell the difference between the 3 and the IV. I have a metal Ambika 3 and I like its ligature very much because of easy to install reed. If I get a Ambika IV, I would select a hard lubber version instead of a metal as a curiosity of HR sound.

3 years later NICE MAN NICEEEEEEEE!

althought i wonder how good you are now 3 years later.

i have started to learn to play tenor myself. i am about 2 weeks in, give or take depending on how you look at it. but i had 9 years playing trumpet in school and a few years after. the mouth formation ombasure or however its spelled is my issue, keeping my jaw straight, and biting the reed for higher notes. <trumpet tighten lips for higher notes. open fingers on trumpet can be several notes C, G, high C, G. 2 fingers down E, A, ect etc... so that mind set is really messing with me on reed biting.

can you donate your old tenor sax to my school, we really need one, we barely have any funding for instruments.

You are an absolute inspiration fella

I think you have progressed really well. I am loving your tone.

Thanks for sharing your progress ! Yes, it takes years of dedication to achieve a beautiful sound on the saxophone. I used to play sax back in my twenties. Now I'm in my sixties and haven't practiced for no less than 40 years. So I'm a beginner myself. But the big difference is the amount of free info from great sax teachers you can easily access nowadays. Of course you don't become a sax sensation overnight, but you learn a lot of tips and tricks to improve your skills.

Very nice song ..😊😅❤

Lovely

Just came from your 3 month progress video. You’re a beast bro. You’ve gotten so good!

I’m 2 days in and I just learnt careless whisper. I can play it very consistently. I’m hoping to learn pink panther soon.
