Dude this is the first video I've seen from you. You have no idea how lucky people are to have info like this on a single TH-cam video. It took me YEARS to learn this stuff and you pretty much just surmised jazz tonguing in 11 minutes. Simply amazing tutorial with the right amount of cringe
This is exactly the information which I have been searching for, for years. Nobody has ever put it all together in such a step by step way. I am very grateful. Thanks a lot
While still a student yourself (aren't we all?!), you're already a remarkable teacher. While I wish a big career for you, given your talent and personality, I would hope that you always make room for teaching, because you have a great gift of communication.
I have been obsessed by my annoyingly classical articulation limits! This video is perfect for me! Step 1, Step 2... Love it! Really helps. Thank you sooooo very much for your high energy and your demo and explanation of the dooden method. Awesomely helpful! BTW: Never apologize for your natural way of being. This is you - and you are great!
@Shivani B i know its been like two months but you shouldn't give up on sax. This video may seem hard, but with time, practice, and research, this stuff starts te become easier. Sax is a very fun instrument and tenors have an amazing sound :D
I don’t play saxophone and I don’t know anyone who does, I do know who Charlie Parker and John Coltrane is and I do listen to them. Anyway, I’ve been binge watching your videos for days now since I saw you on my recommendation page, because I find you funny. Now, the true question that’s been lying under my heart for days is: has anyone told you you look a lot like Bruno Mars?
8:46 my jazz director always refers to ghost tounging as "doodle tounging" and often uses Clark Terry as a reference as he uses doodle tounging in his scatting, similar to what Jerry Bergonzi was referring to
RipSnip Interesting! I think I avoided saying that because doodle tonguing is the same name as another tonguing method (an alternative to double tonguing where you tongue the reed going up AND down).
The spaz-tastic sleep-deprivastic delivery of this lesson is what made me watch every second of the video. Made me immediately go get my horn out and adopt it....it works!! Always teach like this and I will always watch. Bravo, sir. Impressive. Thank you!
I loved your video and was inspired by it. I'm 54 and played in marching band so many years ago (until 1983). What I love is jazz and that sound. We were never taught to the level you are playing. I didn't even know it existed at the time, although my improvisation skills were pretty good and I touched on some of the concepts you are explaining here. I'm getting old and having CNS problems that impede my playing but you are still an inspiration. I love it when you go cooler and cooler until you just yell. That is so awesome. Keep it up Man. I have subscribed and plan to go back through your other videos. I love the saxophone so much! I love you for wanting to share with the world!
Excellent video! It's nice to see this information presented concisely, and you provided and good explanation for ghost tonguing. Articulation is a level of the transcribing process that seems sadly lacking among younger players. I've seen many a saxophone student beating their heads against the wall trying to figure this stuff out even though it's right there in their ears.
Okay but this video was recommended to me at the perfect time since I'm trying to play some of his music. This man was INSANE. Also, I'm new to playing jazz music since I've always just been in concert band. So, I am just struggling 😂😭
I am learning to play the clarinet and recorder, but i really liked how you describe what you are doing and put some laughter into in for me too. Thank you, that was educational and entertaining margarita
I love your instruction, Bro! Thank you for identifying the various tonguing techniques. I've played a lot of sax sounds and riffs that I like by ear, without having yet learned the techniques in my lessons. Thank you for breaking it down.
I’m so glad I found your channel! Was so clear, fun and I’m mind blown by the new technique I’ve learnt! Thank you TH-cam for sharing secret valuable knowledge to the common man
ur amazing omg. this is so interesting!!!! i really really love playing charlie parker even tho i can only play it at like half speed rn lmao. ill get there
No apologies needed. Seeing this real you is what makes the clip. I’m serious. The info is gold and the way you delivered it was platinum! Ya know what I’m sayin’ dude?
Great. Thank you very much for the clarity in the way you explained and didactically show the whole process. You are a standout in the world of music and jazz that we love so much. Congratulations and keep being that unique human being.
Annnnd, I found myself learning again how to play bass clarinet with saxophones videos, thank you for all this awesome informations, you got a new subscriber !
Thanks Saxologic! This video really helped me understand bebop articulation a lot better and I will definitely start doing the practice exercise you suggested!
I find it really interesting how you really show in details how to ghost notes. One thing I really struggle to is harmonics because my teachers and people on youtube always just say to "open the mouth and really think hard about the note you want to do." If you see this, it would be so helpfull if you could do the same kind of video for harmonics. Go sleep now !
I get it, he's yelling louder than his saxophone playing so that his neighbours won't complain about the saxophone since it's technically softer than the human voice!
Glad to find you Saxologic! You're a crazy guy and I love your content. Your methodology is geared up definitely for engineers like me. After going through many of your videos, everything about improv makes sense. Thank you so much and see you soon! :)
In the vernacular of today---THIS IS WAY COOL! I just stumbled on this video as a result of looking up videos of my homecity of Jackson, Miss. Which led me naturally to Mississippi in general and the Delta region spcifically. From there I was led to Blues, then Jazz, and now Bebop. Next stop---The Cool Era. It's astounding the artistic production and techniques of the minds of Black folks brought over as slaves. Little did an ignorant Thomas Jefferson know about the nature and potentiality latent within ALL humans no matter their skin color. It was Jefferson who foolishly asserted among other absurdities that Black people lacked the ability for music, poetry and literature, mathematics, etc. Fields in which many Black men(e.g., Dr. James Gates[Theoretical Physics]) and women[e.g., "Hidden Figures", a film about Black women who helped write down the mathematical foundations for defining the trajectory for the first Moon Shot by NASA] ) excelled in.
May you be recognized as the fantastic player and educator that you are and your life will be abundant in music, finance, health, beauty and love! You are totally happening!
Excellent info, I´ll be picking up my sax this evening and trying it out, and hey, what an entertaining guy, and he does have an air of Bob Dylan, are we looking at the Jazz Dylan!
Hi! This is the first time i see anything from you and it is really a Great expirience! Thanks a Lot! I will follow !

"Make it jazzy" might be the single worst phrase related to music.
(great job!)
I agree! Hey, we should do a video called “10 Things Jazz Players Hate Hearing.”
@@Saxologic Oh man...I have a ton - that could be pretty funny
Sweet! I will get back to you on this after my next 2 videos.
@@Saxologic a good one would also be "what's the fastest song you can play?" That's one for a musician in general.

Glad to finally hear someone talk about Dood’n Tonguing in a video. I feel many jazz educators throughout my lifetime have failed to bring it up.

...not really.
Well, I actuAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlly .... loved IIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!
i like how i’m not even a sax player but i still feel like this is very informative lol
You could be one though. It’s really easy to learn🤷🏼♂️
More of this late night content please. As someone w a mild case of ADD this learns me very well

This is one of the best explanations for “Jazz articulation” and “ghost notes/muted tonguing”.

Love the personalized commentary man. Making learning funny is great way to teach jazz and find success. Nice one.
this is some chaotic good energy
Finally, I found the video I’ve been searching for many years.
Without any doubt the most hilariously entertaining sax lesson in the whole universe; ever. Sooooo good!
crazy or not, it shows your character.. maybe?
and i really like thatthe structure is still pretty good and your thoughts seem organized

I don’t play sax, and yet this was one of the BEST fucking lessons I’ve ever watched.
I was literally thinking about this yesterday
I’m imagining he’s in like a mall and employees are just walking behind the curtain like “wut the h*ck”
LMAO

You were up all night practicing? That’s dedication! Subscribed from this one video. You rock!!!!
Nice explanation. Important part of jazz articulation.
Great video and great teaching technique....your students are very fortunate to have such an interesting mentor.
Cool video! each one of birds lines/phrases are so different and complex especially with his articulation. Incredible

Thanks I love hearing you play ! Your vid is very helpful .
Ayyyyye cuzzy just hit 40K at around 4:00 PM ET the day after this was uploaded, now it's time we see the MK licc compliation
Gonna try this, you make it sound understandable, many thanks!
This is very reminiscent of Jazz trumpeter Clark Terry’s “Doodle tonguing” system. Check it out If you haven’t.
Love the concise and easy to grasp explanations!
Bro you are hilarious, keep this ish up, its golden for rookie sax players like myself. Subscribed son!

Bro the screaming was honestly so relatable, you're truly a goon
Love it on the off beat!!!
Those tips are amazing mate ! As a new player this helps a lot.
This is awesome, thank you, dude!
Great recording/sound !
Watching this at 1:40 in the morning really brings out the screams every other minute doesn’t it
Love how the riff at 1:05 sounded like the first few notes of The Sailor's Hornpipe.
Or as its properly known in England as, simply..... Hornpipe.
It was!
Very helpful video, thank you!
where were you when i was an jazz undergrad in '93? GOLD!
Jazz articulation is so hard bruh this video was crazy helpful. Gonna practice now🙏🙏Thanks bro
