      Jamie - hi that was seriously good. I tried to do half tonguing today and what worked for me was putting the tongue on one side the reed; it added a completely new dimension to my tone and soloing - simply fantastic

    A very big Thank You for this video. I tried to do Doodn-Tonguing for some time now without real success, watched a number of videos about it, but didn't really get a grip on it. Now I learned that it is not "Doodndoodndoodn" but rather - "Doothethethe" - and it works for me easily! Have to practice of course to integrate this into my playing, but it is a start.

    This is an excellent lesson on how to ghost tongue, much better than similar lessons by Clad LB and Jake Dester. What is missing in this lesson and all the lessons by other saxophonists that I have followed, is that ghost notes are usually executed on notes that are on the upbeat, rarely on notes that are the downbeat. The reason for this is that ghost tonguing is the opposite of normal tonguing. In normal tonguing, the tongue touches the reed first, and when the tongue is released, the note is sounded. In ghost tonuing, the note is sounded first (usually at the end of a slur, or by a "breath" attack) and the tongue is then applied to the read to dampen the sound of the note. This makes it difficult (if not impossible) to ghost tongue notes that are on the downbeat. Trying to do is usually produced a staccato on the send note. The "doo-den" phonetic is useful because "doo" is the sound that generates the tongued note on the downbeat, and "den" is the damped sound when the tongue is placed on the read to muffle the second note that is on the upbeat.

    No way, are you kidding me?! These last weeks I've been focused on practicing dood'n tonguing and listening a lot to Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley. Since then, my sound has improved because it adds another dimension or level of expression to your playing, than simply slurring all the notes. It's important the syllable you use, how you approach this technique, what part of the reed are you dampening (whichever feels more comfortable to you) and also which part of the tongue are you using. This topic is very important and I don't know why is not emphasized enough. And now you come with a video of this topic jajajajaj.
    Jamie, are you reading my mind?!

      How persnickety do we need to be with the intonation? Getting pretty big dips in the flat direction, >quarter tone so pretty noticeable playing slowly but perhaps it gets lost in the shadows playing quickly?

    Much agree with you, the 'Dooden Dooden' or the 'The The' tonguing techniques are much forgotten these days. They are discussed in in the Belwin Mills study books, ‘Basic Syncopation (Stage Band Articulation) For Saxophone by Sammy Spear and Mel Bay’s Jazz Sax Studies by Bill Bay, which are from the 1970s. These half tonguing techniques were a revelation to me in the 70s. One great value is they also preserve air and are great for and actually essential for well controlled sub-tones. One of the best advocates for this technique is Eddie Lockjaw Davis (Angel Eyes).

    I call it muted tonguing. It’s one of those things that just kind of happened when I was playing a solo years ago, and I was like, oh, that’s cool!!! Let’s add it into the mix 👍🎷

    • @GetYourSaxTogether
      @GetYourSaxTogether  ปีที่แล้ว

      Muted Tonguing. Nice! That's actually a really cool term for it I've never heard before. Cheers Scott. :-)

    Put my tongue on the reed. It vibrated and made my tongue itch real bad and immediately had to stop playing. Needless to say, but I opted for the side tongue method :D

      Bonjour Collègue francophone ! Ma suggestion : TH-cam permet de modifier le paramètre « Vitesse de lecture ». Il faut choisir par exemple 0.75 au lieu de 1. Cela est valable pour les paroles comme pour la musique, par exemple pour transcrire un solo. Bon dimanche en France et bonjour de Suisse
