thanks Scott I do appreciate you putting this small video clip out. sometimes I get a little unsure on those notes for tenor. definitely going to work on those fingerings next time
I am able to hit a very stable g and g# by simply fingering a second octave g and then fingering a side c and and then to trill between the two just press the first key on your right hand. I play a Yani elite tenor. Hits perfectly in tune for me.
First video that has actually working altissimo G fingering that doesn’t overblow an octave above that!! It still kind of does, just this time I can get the note out somewhat 😅 But thank you! I will continue to look for fingerings that work for me
For a multiphonic on the high f# I pretty do a low Bb and lift the right D finger (right ring finger)and add side Bb . No octave key. 4 notes come up and it’s pretty much a B major 7
Altissimo fingerings vary from each player and the horn that the player uses. The altissimo fingerings I used on my student tenor had to completely change once I got my Mark VI. My teacher also plays on a Mark VI, and some of his fingerings don't work for me. My advice? Play your overtones, and figure out what works best for you :)
Very true!!! When I switched mouthpieces a few years back, I also had to change half of my altissimo fingerings on the tenor. Altissimo is generally easier to get out on the tenor than the alto, but those fingerings can be very finicky.
It's interesting, but on my vintage MK6 your A fingering and G# fingering are the ones I use but the G doesn't work at all. I use 1,2,3,6 plus the low C# (cumbersome I know) - all octave key obviously. There is also front F key on its own (with octave key) - up from F# which is front F as usual plus side Bb key useful for scale runs that don't go higher. Sir Valor Sax channel has a lot more alternatives too. Thanks for posting - keep it up. Oh, nearly forgot- for high G# there is also 2 + 4 ( a bit unstable)
Thanks! Yeah, you'd be surprised at how much (or how little) you can fit in with a 60 second time cap for the Shorts. I always find myself talking faster, and clipping out every millisecond of un-used time.
I’ve always had issues with altissimo G# , ive used 2, 3 on the left hand and middle fingering on the right hand for it (f sharp ) but it’s a hit or miss
Did you try this fingering? It's always been really stable for me. My least stable altissimo note has always be B. I end up using a lot of tongue position to get the right note out in tune.
@@ScottPaddock That's for sure! Right now, I'm focusing exclusively on the soprano. I'd like to get a tenor, soon. I'll have to save my nickels and dimes for it though.
I’m an alto player, but I still wonder how these altissimo fingerings were invented. When I was a young student I just assumed they were official fingerings created by Sigurd M. Rascher😂
THIS! This is something I can look up forever and ever, cause I kept forgetting them! Thanks!
The trick is to learn, and perfect 1 at a time. If you work on just the G for a week or two, then add the G#, it's a lot easier to remember them.
Thanks Scott! I didn't have your high G fingering of B + high F# in any of my books. I just tried and it came out so easily!
thanks Scott I do appreciate you putting this small video clip out. sometimes I get a little unsure on those notes for tenor.
definitely going to work on those fingerings next time
Excellent video Scott - you really know how to get to the point without making a meal of it !
I appreciate that!
I completely agree! Wow!

Forever rehearsing with your tutorials 👑🔥❤️
Just incredible Scott, it works at the first try....many many thanks man
They finally made it, this is awesome! Now we just need bari.

an octave above that G? wish I could do that
"This is Really Good Scott" Thanks you're the best 💕🌹🙏

Thanks a million. This helped as I'm moving from the alto to the tenor

@@ScottPaddock That's interesting, because I just switched mouthpieces and my altissimo fingerings didn't change at all.
*this* is the finish I want on my instrument
I haven’t reach this level yet I’m looking forward for it though. Big fan from your sound Scott
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you sir
I remember someone saying their tenor came with a sheet of altissimo fingerings in the case. I had to find mine by trial and error.
Awesome Scott...
Glad you liked it!
Thanks bro!🎷❤
😀😀
Thank you sir
You're welcome!
Thanks so much man. I’ve been trying alto fingerings and they haven’t been working but I’ve been too lazy to search up tenor fingerings
Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
What’s the first altissimo note and fingering for the jr.. walker song “What does it take to win your love?”
It's interesting, but on my vintage MK6 your A fingering and G# fingering are the ones I use but the G doesn't work at all.

I use the same fingerings!!!
👍👍👍
I love the g fongering though i can't get the g sharp out
The clip is really fast but the most helpful thing I’ve watched
Thanks! Yeah, you'd be surprised at how much (or how little) you can fit in with a 60 second time cap for the Shorts. I always find myself talking faster, and clipping out every millisecond of un-used time.
what do you do if you are switching between G and A? I used to use that A fingering, but now I use 2+3+side c.
im on a student model, and i dont have an f# key should i use the vintage sax fingering?
Yeah. Give that a try.

Hello, what instrument do you play? isnt it PMauriat?
Where did I can buy a red mouthpeace like that?
It's a Scott Paddock Syos Artist Series. You can get one from the Syos website.
Erm what if you don’t have the F# key?😅
For alto sax?
I'm going to give these fingerings a try on my soprano sax just to see what happens.
Soprano is tricky for altissimo because it is already so high, for me it is definitely the hardest.
@@ScottPaddock That's for sure! Right now, I'm focusing exclusively on the soprano. I'd like to get a tenor, soon. I'll have to save my nickels and dimes for it though.
mine are way different damn
Yeah, mine change from tenor to tenor. On alto I can play the same fingerings on just about every sax, but tenor is a whole different ball game!
I’m an alto player, but I still wonder how these altissimo fingerings were invented. When I was a young student I just assumed they were official fingerings created by Sigurd M. Rascher😂
The G sounds lower than my F
HOW TO ACHIEVE THAT TYPE OF SOUND LMAOOO
im tired of classical sax boring sounding
