Thanks for this! "Winelight" changed my life! It's the album that made me fall in love with playing saxophone way back in 1980/81. A few years later, when I was living in the student dorms at university, a few guys would borrow my copy (cassette tape) of "Winelight" for their date nights. So maybe -- just maybe -- it changed a few other lives too.
Hi doc! Thanks for your great videos, really useful to learn and enjoy saxo! Would you please do a video on I will Always love you saxo solo? That would be great! Thanks
Honestly I felt useless in band class so i was searching for my favorite songs and found this. thank you gor bringing back that dead spirit i had in the sax again!
Jamie, I've been having trouble to expand range from c5 up...(when you start pressing the octave key) I got A and B and even C with scales and long tones, but pressing the keys for D5 actually kicks back the air pressure, you can feel it... assuming you're in the same blow/breath. If I pause on the transition, I loose the weight and/or embouchure for high notes, which results in the sound of a D4 again...
@@GetYourSaxTogether oh while I got your attention a night at the drive in movie from grease would be great body and soul and in sentimental mood too ijs 😀
How you doing my man this is Spencer's Uncle John that you do gigs with Spencer really enjoying your TH-cam on the alto some of your routines keep up the good work J F K 😎🎶🎷👊🏾
One the top 5 songs with sax for me. Grover Washington is probably my favourite influence. His solo from around 3.03 after the little mermaid instrument thing is iconic. His velvety sound, wide use of the horn and flow is just iconic. Any chance of a Just the two of us part 2 for the solo part Jamie? 😊
A beautiful theme, those that help you confirm that your favorite instrument is the Saxophone. Thanks Jamie as always great. You are invited to some cafes again.
This a very helpful lesson thank you for this. Please teach us the saxophone solo of Earth Wind and Fire - After the love has gone and Phil Collins - One more night
They're both on my list! Actually, if you want the PDF for After The Love Has Gone, it's part of my 70s compilation PDF here www.getyoursaxtogether.com/greatestsax2 and you can use this link to watch me play it th-cam.com/video/7abgFKonl-8/w-d-xo.html
Thnx for the link maestro I am learning your saxophone transcription of Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are and Men at Work - Who Can it be Now your lessons are really helpful for me as a beginner saxophone player.
Thank you sir am humbled to follow your on youtube and great ful for this solo groove just the two of us I like the song alot. And the next thing how can register for the free lessons with you sir am tenor saxophone player in Uganda
Thanks for the video! On my alto I'm having some trouble with phrases 2 and 3 of the low part. In phrase 2 I can't seem to make the C low enough to fit in with the other notes. I'm having the same issue with Db and Bb in phrase 3. Those notes sound awkwardly high next to the rest of the low part. Is this a problem with my embouchure? Any tips on how to get those notes lower?

Absolutely. A wonderful musician and artist.

Sacred Kind of Love, gets my vote.
Nice!
Honestly I felt useless in band class so i was searching for my favorite songs and found this. thank you gor bringing back that dead spirit i had in the sax again!
You’re welcome! 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. I love Grover Washington Jr. My favourite Grover track is Let It Flow (For DrJ)
Thanks for watching and thanks for the share!
Thanks so much man I've been looking for a way to learn this for ages!
You’re welcome. Any time!
Locked down? Why not kick back with this free one hour Saxophone Success Masterclass! www.getyoursaxtogether.com/masterclass
This is such a good tutorial I learned it in my first week of the week!
Great job!
'Take me there' what a solo.
Good call. 👌🏻

Yeh, just make sure you're supporting the sound with enough breath and try and hear the note in your head.
Thanks Jamie! I guess my favorite Grover Washington Jr. is "Winelight."
Good choice!
i love playing Winelight from the album "Winelight"
For real.
Thanks for all these classes. I'd love to be able to take classes with you, but it limits my English. Thank you again I love Bill Withers!
You are welcome!
Grover is the reason I play saxophone my dad played him while we worked on cars wonderful memories
Great man. Thanks for watching Pedro!
@@GetYourSaxTogether you are appreciated

@@pedroramos6472 noted! Thanks for watching man. 😊
Great video, but having a bit of trouble on the lower notes - switching my pinky from Eb to C fast enough to keep up with the tune.
Sure. It’s hard.
How you doing my man this is Spencer's Uncle John that you do gigs with Spencer really enjoying your TH-cam on the alto some of your routines keep up the good work J F K 😎🎶🎷👊🏾
Hey man!! Spencer always talks about you. Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content. ❤️🙏🏻
Muchas gracias.. excelente .. mi hija queria aprender esta melodia..y tu tutorial es muy bueno e increible..

Maybe some day I’ll cover the solo, but it’s quite long for TH-cam.
@@GetYourSaxTogether That’s understandable. Thanks Jamie. But boy oh boy, it’s a ripper.
mr.magic the best solo
👌🏻
Winelight!!! Thank you Jamie!
Cool. Thanks for watching Paul!
Mister magic number 1!

Anytime man! Great to have fans from all over the world!
Let it Flow.
🙏
@@GetYourSaxTogether There are some live performances of that song on TH-cam where Grover loses his ever loving mind.
Anyone got a link for the WHOLE lick? Not just the biggning. Good video and start though :)
Yeh, I don’t do vocal melody parts on this channel, just proper sax bits. I guess you’ll find it somewhere though.
Great 👍
Thank you Mauren 👍

Cos it was played on tenor it doesn’t really work on alto on the low one. Nobody would play that on alto. Keep it up the octave, that’s my advice.
Will do, thanks Jamie!
Very cool man
Thanks man!
We want gimme hope jo'anna
😉
Hello Jamie, one question
Why does the mouthpiece get clogged when I'm blowing my sax?
Clogged with spit you mean? Not quite sure. It happens to some people but I’m not quite sure why. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
I'm torn between Santa Cruzin and Only for you (Siempre Para Ti Sere)
Both really good!
my vote is Mr. Magic
🤘🏻
Is this in 4 4 scale
It’s in 4/4 TIME. 😊
Grover Washington take me there on winelight:-)
Good one Gary!
Yeah it's great
Starts off slow and easy
Then builds
And speeds up
How do you get your beautiful vibrato?
Hey, thanks! Check out this vid for info on vibrato th-cam.com/video/WEx7fmFbc0w/w-d-xo.html
Those low notes on alto get very difficult 😂
🙏

Its the name of my favorite Grover Washington Jr song. You're in for a treat if you've never heard it before
