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.
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 👍🎷
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).
What a great lesson! I tried to find ghost tongue exercises all over the net.A lot of confusion on this subject.Your explanation the best so far. Thanks!
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?
Hi Jamie, i wonder if the "ghost notes", which are written smaller and struck through should be played the same way? Best regards from Germany, enjoy another coffee...
Hey Jamie, another great Sunday morning, thanks. I just tried (tried before without success) but now I realised is not only about articulation and sound but requires huge discipline on blow control! Just great 👍
Funny I was learning about half-tonging this week from some other video I stumbled across and was practicing yesterday for the first time on. I thank you Jamie, kindly for this great expert tips/advice and sometimes a mysterious connect to your followers at the right time is simply amazing.
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
Thank you so much, Mr Anderson! It is absolutley fantastic tutorial! I was looking that information for a long time. It is a really great Sunday! Thank you!
This is one of those video's that make me realise I still have a long way to go on the Tenor. I knew half-tonguing existed, because @saxgordon mentioned it to me in a Facebook conversation. Expertly played at full speed Sensei.🙂
You are the first one to say something I nearly thought before 😂 It's not like an 'N' but rather like 'Z' in zoo. But despite this insight I'm still at a theoretical stage... 😅
,,,...(hoursLater): The tickle on My Tongue is unbearable¡ I have to scratch ( w/teeth) I will overcome it, at least the tickle is not on someother part of my Body!🤣😂Day 2: One of your best ! ThankYOU¡>🥳
Good morning! (In France 09:50 Am), I try to follow you, it's really interesting, but you speak really fast! So a little bit difficult to understand all! 😳😄😉! Have a nice day
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

Long comment. Thanks!
Finally, a very good explanation of muffle tongue, thanks Jamie! 😊
Thanks. You're welcome!
Great sax educator.
🙏
You can use that technique in combination with some wa wa fingerings for very pronounced wa wa effect
Cool 👌🏻
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 👍🎷
Muted Tonguing. Nice! That's actually a really cool term for it I've never heard before. Cheers Scott. :-)
Today I knew the real vibrato practice system. Thanks 🙏
Happy to help!

Wow, great info - thanks!
now this was so good .plenty of hurdles to overcome and I may even sound good .
You can do it man
Awesome!

Ha! Funny. Everything is explained in the video.

Hi Jamie,
i wonder if the "ghost notes", which are written smaller and struck through should be played the same way?
Best regards from Germany, enjoy another coffee...
Sounds like you’re talking about grace notes. That’s something different.
FANTASTIC lesson, as always! 😊
Thank you! 😃
Hey Jamie, another great Sunday morning, thanks. I just tried (tried before without success) but now I realised is not only about articulation and sound but requires huge discipline on blow control! Just great 👍
Glad it's working for you!
excellent !
Many thanks!
Thank you. Well described.
Glad it was helpful!
Just tried this; I’m at the tongue-tingling stage, which is an interesting new sensation! Groovy addition to articulation . I shall persist 😊
Yeh! Keep at it
Fantastic insight, teaching and worksheet - well worth a coffee. Can’t wait to see what lies in wait in the inner circle as well.
Thanks so much! Yeh, see you in there 👍
Brilliant stuff Jamie- cheers & always appreciated
Thanks! 🙏
You sound good! Good technique to practice and use.. thanks!

Good plan!
Funny thing is that I did muffling intuitively and it’s very itchy at first, but sounding awesome!
Great!

Hey off topic but how do you remove sax solos from songs to make the backing track like you did in who can it be now and brown sugar?
Karaoke version website.

Glad to have helped
Fantastic. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot... But how can you stop the saliva coming out all the time while working on this technique?
?
Impossible to diagnose in a comment I’m afraid. Join my inner circle membership. 👍🏻
It tickles! AHHHH lololol
How about telling us about your terminal vibrato technique. Yours is the best! Thanks Jamie =D
You mean this one? > th-cam.com/video/3T92cXZ1GDY/w-d-xo.html
@@GetYourSaxTogether
I guess i do! Thank you Mistro! You da best!
You are the first one to say something I nearly thought before 😂
It's not like an 'N' but rather like 'Z' in zoo.
But despite this insight I'm still at a theoretical stage... 😅
Keep at it
Rolling Stones raise their eyebrows yet lol. Great technique to add to the bag. A little like palm muting on the guitar.
Yeah it IS the same type sound as palm muting.
Nice graduation photo 😜

...Jay Metcalfe is maybe bringing out a Bari.... Hooli Dooli.... I might just do it... (just sayin)....

Thanks for watching!
And the difference to subtoning is Jamie😂?
Subtone is nothing to do with the tongue. I’ve got a vid on that too. 👍🏻
Your enthusiam is so encouraging :)
Thanks!
