@@GetYourSaxTogether Hi Jamie, Can I make a future suggestion please. How about the solo on Gregory Porter's 'Hey Laura' played by Tivon Pennicot? It is beautiful. You would love it. Lovely solo, very jazzy and soulful. Could you do a lesson on it?
Great absolutely lovin your lessons and the way you put it together ...So easily accessible and easy to follow ..As far as one of my favourite songs . I'd love to hear Wilton Felder inherit the wind if you could ..pretty please Jamie
Am really, really enjoying tucking into this piece, but it's quite tough as a 4 month newbie/rookie to sax/EWI. But what a gorgeous piece to (hopefully) be able to play (but I will have to speed it up considerably to sound anything like this! Just got to get the fingers to obey!). I can actually "cheat" the opening alto phrase to it's original lower octave on my Roland Aerophone AE-10 as the lower octave button enables me to reach the low A (and even Ab). I already have the short opening melody under my fingers thanks to your other splendid tutorial and PDF, and now just need to work on perfecting it - but all good stuff - and extremely addictive and satisfying! Thanks again for all these wonderful - and free - video tutorials, Jamie - they really are worth their weight in gold for a newbie like me who, first and foremost, just wants to learn to play the great sax tunes/breaks/bridges/solos that he loves as quickly as possible! A massive THUMBS UP!!!
Thanks for a great video. Here's one that would be great: Circa 1968 - 1969. Curtis Amy's tenor sax solo on the Doors Touch Me. I really thank you for all the effort you put into these mini lessons.
Oh man anything you want to teach us from my friends' band Big Blitz would be amazing, they just blew up a little bit so they're getting a lot of new subs and attention. They have a great sound and style.
Jaimie your energy is fantastic and always smiling thanks for making these videos - really enjoyable to learn with - I'm an intermediate player and always looking for new material to learn Fantastic Thanks V Much regards #Saxocoustic_Channel
Okay, first and foremost another brilliant lesson Jamie! Now, I understand you not doing this request simply because folks may not be familiar with it and maybe I should transcribe it my damn self. At any rate here goes, i really love the sax solo in Charlie Mingus's "Moanin" just saying. I don't think you should do it necessarily due to its obscurity. But I do think you should have a listen. It shines.
Oh yeh Stephen, I LOVE Moanin! (I quite like moaning as well! lol). Tell you what, I might just cover the famous bari riff. That's kinda bite sized for TH-cam. I kinda neglect the bari peeps!
Thank you this is great. Been playing for 6 months and I'd love to learn the sax in the Christmas song "Silent Night" played by Michael Lington on "The Smooth Soul Holiday album. I would love this sheet music and backing track. However, just learning a few of the lines will be a great start.
Hi Philipp! Generally I focus on the "OG" players who are influential, as opposed to the recent versions of them. e.g. Sanborn vs Candy Dulfer (although I DID do a Candy Dulfer song, so that's that theory out the window!! lol).

You're gonna hate me for this, Jamie... but is there going to be a Smooth Operator part 3: The Ending? Stewart solos up and down at the tail end of the song, as well.
@@peterdrake5156 so I did! Yeh, I guess it’s kinda unusual to go chromatically up from the 5th to the flat 7 on a minor. Makes more sense when you think of it as a bluesy G major thing. I suppose it’s not that weird really! Don’t know why I said that. 🤦🏻♂️
@@GetYourSaxTogether all i know is that something isnt adding up. Im trying to learn the sax part on piano, and when i play a C#, that C# is maybe like 3 semitones below what the actual notes the sax in the video is sounding.
@@hugohugohugohugo4800 that’s right. It’s exactly three semitones lower for alto sax. Saxophones are TRANSPOSING instruments. if you want a piano C on alto sax you have to write an A. It’s a bit messed up!!
That initial run isnt at all right (I was hoping it was because it is hard to hear) but thank you regardless. Incidentally D C D | E D E | F E F | G A G | A C D | E - C A Sounds like the run (or at least closer to it) to me, sorry for not transposing.
@@GetYourSaxTogether The run I wrote is closer to it than the one you wrote, but is still not 100% correct. I was hoping your transcription would have been closer than the one I had done because even slowed down it is indeed hard to hear.
@@GetYourSaxTogether Like this th-cam.com/video/ShH3rPiA8ZA/w-d-xo.html I cant tell if there is a rest in the middle of it, if its just the variation in note grouping/ accent placement but when I slow it down and it feels like that is what is being outlined at least.
@@briumphbimbles okay, well I’m not by my sax or a keyboard right now, but I take my time to get these transcriptions right, so I’m not saying you’re wrong without rechecking it but I’d be surprised if I cocked it up…I do love a good call out though, so professional pride means I need to double check it!
@@GetYourSaxTogether My process was that I slowed the audio down (without altering the pitch) and time segmented each note. I then played it with rests in between and played it at various tempos up to speed. I may run it through deezers track isolation algorithm to see if it can split out the sax track then I can run it through melodyne to show you the exact pitches if you want. There is a bunch of gliss and slurring so a few notes are slightly flat but those are the notes I felt were being played. Again I would love to be corrected on that because I want to get it right. The piano example wasn't played in great rhythm btw I was just trying to demonstrate the notes.

merci Jamie, excellent vidao. As always its a pleasure to see. It remains simple to undersatnd, even if you are have a poor english konwledge as me :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Merci. J:-)
Jamie, remember the solo at the end "walk on the wild side" Lou Red. When you can, thanks
That's on my list, thanks Angel!

Hi @getYourSaxTogether I really enjoy your tutorial. What about I will always love you solo?? It's the only one missing ;-)
Isn’t it in my best 80s sax solos compilation?
@@GetYourSaxTogether tutorial? ☺️haven’t seen it
@@jbrainsart6534 yeah there’s a chart but no tutorial I’m afraid.
Have you heard will you by Hazel O'connor. Great sax in it. Would love to hear how it's played. 🎷😎
Yup! Totally on the list!
Thank you for your videos... I confused smooth operator with your love Is king in my mind... Maybe in the future love Is king...😁😁😁
Have a nice day...
Good suggestion!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Could you please do a video on chorus using the alto?
No plans to do a video for it, however, in the PDF for part one, the bonus riff is there. www.getyoursaxtogether.com/smooth
Yes it sounds exceedingly strange in Alto. Thinking might need to adapt a solo around it as it's super different to the ear.
How about the Eddie Daniels solo on Angela Bofill’s song I Try?
Ok, cool, I'll check it.
Oh man anything you want to teach us from my friends' band Big Blitz would be amazing, they just blew up a little bit so they're getting a lot of new subs and attention. They have a great sound and style.
I'll check it out! Thanks.
SUUUUUUPER....
🙏
Would you consider doing the intro for Your Love Is King, by Sade?
Yeh sure, I'll add it to my list!
Hi Jamie, where can I find the tutorial of Arthur ‘theme
I haven’t done it yet actually. On the list!
Jaimie your energy is fantastic and always smiling thanks for making these videos - really enjoyable to learn with - I'm an intermediate player and always looking for new material to learn Fantastic Thanks V Much regards #Saxocoustic_Channel
Awesome, thanks man! There's loads of great stuff for intermediates on the channel. Have a hunt around. J:-)
Hi Jamie, How about the Alto Sax solo from "Will you" by Hazel O'conner, an iconic solo that is just brill !
Hi Keefie, that's been suggested by many people and it's definitely on the list!
Please can you look at “if leaving me is easy” by Phil Collins Jamie ??
I'll check it out Andy!
Get Your Sax Together legend 👍🏻
how can I buy the backing track and the music sheet
Google it.
Thanks Jamie, another brilliant lesson. Would you consider doing Jezebel by Sade?
Glad you liked it Dave.
I'll check out Jezebel and add it to my list. Thank for the suggestion :-)
How about doing the sax part from Saving all my love for you by Whitney Houston
Ooh yeh. Good call. It's on my list anyway actually, but great shout, thanks.
Hello, I want to buy the backing track. can you help?

Thank you Jamie for your fantastic page. Please forgive my ignorance but what does the star indicate after each note.Is it the octave key?
Yeh one star is the second octave (middle D to high C#), 2 stars 3rd octave (palm key D and above).
Nice. Have you done the year of the cat yet J ?
Not yet, but it's on my list! Nice suggestion.
Get Your Sax Together koooool nice one brother

Why does the last phrase not make sense harmonically?
Did I say that?
Indeed you did. 4 - 44 I don't really understand what you meant by the comment..!@@GetYourSaxTogether

@@GetYourSaxTogether I think you are overthinking it Jamie. I feel sure that Cottonbelly would say if it sounds good, that is all that matters!
Why are you showing the wrong notes or playing the wrong notes i dont understand
For example in the intro leading in to the sax solo, the actual sax thats playing ends on an E which neither of the sheet music shows????
I think you might be missing something dude? Maybe the way the sax transposes??
