    • @wyndhl8309
      @wyndhl8309 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agree👍
      On occasions during my brief practice-sessions, I do discover different fingerings for the same altissimo note; it's sometimes by accident - courtesy of Jamie, an expert saxist as well as an honest and skillful motivator who encourages meaningful experimentation.
      How I do ❤️ all of Nathan's videos!
      Let's 👍 up Nathan on his Masters Achievement!

    Glad to hear about the course. The one thing keeping me from learning how to actually improvise (as opposed to pressing keys and hoping it sounds good) is because I've never learned HOW to practice improv. You'll get a different answer from anyone you ask. Edit: Oh. It's $497. 😐

    I really like this video☺🙏🔥💥🔥 as a saxophonist of over 20 years, I can honestly say that I've never really been a fan of all the dissonance in jazz although some of it can teach you a lot!!☺ I've always preferred music from Kenny G or Dave Koz or the like because I admire the vibrato, the passion, and the overall quality of the playing.☺ to me music is More Than Just spewing random notes, but about beauty, passion, quality, dexterity and sometimes Beauty is found in simplicity not in complexity. Anyway I'm learning a lot from your channel and thank you for sharing !! ☺I love your great sense of humor and you are sounding really brilliant on that saxophone!! 🌞☀🌞☺ Much much Love❤🎆🎇🎆

    @Saxologic I would rather fall into a trench. A trench is a long, narrow ditch. Since the main purpose of trenches in the military is to protect soldiers from shrapnel and bullets, they are not usually very deep. A trench might be around 8 feet deep. An abyss on the other hand is a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm. If I were to fall into a bottomless chasm, I would fall forever, and die of thirst. If the chasm was only seemingly bottomless, it would have to be deep enough for the bottom to not be visible. If I fell into this, I would die from the impact of hitting the bottom. If I were to fall into a trench, I could easily land upright on my feet. Also since trenches are narrow, I could extend my hands and use the walls of the trench to slow my fall, and even slowly lower myself to the bottom.
    If the trench were oceanic, I wouldn't even fall down into it, I could just swim up to the surface.
    So I would rather fall into a trench.

    Hey Saxologic i'm a really big fan and i'm looking for some advice. I'm a senior in high school and I wanna make playing saxophone my career and life. I am almost completely self taught besides youtube videos. My school band is very, very, very bad and after going to 3 honors band events I have learned that my band director is a nice guy but not a good band director. I was wondering how do I get good in a band where i'm one of the 3 people taking it seriously. Please not that this is my second year in high school because i'm home schooled (I joined half way though last school year) and lastly I spent alot of time working because of my family is not the most well off.
