baptiste's accent makes him a million times better
🇫🇷⚜️
I agree 😂
@@Saxologic happy birthday and God bless
French accent buddy, I know it well
I love how it seems like he's flexing in the beginning but he's giving out all these amazing patterns
Yeah even if a lot of people know them, it’s cool to get that reinforcement that a virtuoso like Baptiste feels strongly about them
When I was 13 years old, living next to Paris, (I am 23 now) Baptiste Herpin was my private teacher at home, he was not famous as today. I have memories that I was so much impressed that I was shy to play. 😂 Then, I gave up saxophone at 15. And now, 10 years after I see his level , and I start to play again 😌
He have an amazing talent !
Yes, he definitely has.
@@mottahead6464 Good job pointing out a mistake to someone who obviously hasn't got English as their first language. Well done! I hope you're proud of yourself.
I thought I'd be here a minute to save this for later, but I can't stop... I'm encapsulated
When I was studying in the conservatoire near Paris, we did a concert with him, I remember the full sound and the power of each note. I still got chills thinking of this.
I bet!!!
Baptiste Herbin is seriously the Charlie Parker of today! This guy is so amazing and makes a professional sax player like myself feel like I still have a lot to learn…so thanks for that LOL 😂
A modern MASTER!!
its so cool hearing his voice after only hearing his playing
It’s easy to get blinded by his awesome technique and overlook his incredible tone!
I remember that I had an acoustic guitar teacher who tried to teach me some of those kinds of techniques, you know, repeating a pattern of phrases and then playing the repeated pattern backwards while changing the notes and the tones from major to minor and so on.
Unfortunately for me, I was too young, too dumb (more so than these days) and devoid of enough musical talent to really appreciate it at the time.
This video is truly a pro spilling the beans on amazing techniques.
By the way.... his head movements and facial expressions are also awesome.
Nathan's nonstop smiling says it all - such a wholesome and informative video. Definitely taking a lot of nuggets from it. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this, Nate, and to Baptiste as well!
Bro I was cheesing lol I felt like a little boy meeting Santa for the first time
Ngl, seems like he's practised 40 hours a day for a while, potentially even 42.
Dude, more like 70. He's probably just holding back here
Two set? :P

There you are. That is the truth .For me. That is how i got to this point in my career, and I am 75 and still on the scene. You are very smart to always ask. I think the first time I asked a real guy( a bass player, I play sax, it´s not important-ask anybody that can play)I was 16. He said" learn the blues in every key". Which later became " everything in every key." But an interesting thing
Eddie Harris told me was " You will play what you practice". Thank you so much for your TH-cam channel. I learn a lot from you
and your sincere attitude.
incredible name, my friend
It’s dope to see how although they don’t speak the same language, Baptiste is able to communicate clearly with Nathan through his music
All you do is practice 12 hours a day. Amazing guy.
This is a very imppresssive lesson! You're a good student!
Omg thank you for share your lesson with baptiste.❤️❤️. I’m very grateful to you and i really appreciate it.
Great man. Very smart and nice and an unbelievable player. Thank you for uploading this video 😊
Thanks very much for uploading this brilliant lesson!
Happy birthday my dude love your vids.
Thank you!
His tone is so good I got chills just listening to those upper extensions at 3 min. Dayummm
This SHARE is a VERY GENEROUS gift! Very thankful for everything you post. Stay strong, gifted and blessed, Saxologic!✌🏾
Thank you DJ!!
It is Baptiste that is very generous for giving all this amazing and personnal insight about music and saxophone!
@@Jeromebarde, yes, I should have stated that as well. Baptiste is incredibly generous for sharing his brilliance with the world!✌🏾
Dude, thanks for this resource. This is so generous!
Awesome! i really enjoy the class, thanks to Baptiste and Saxologic channel, i learned many things
Baptiste é fenomenal. Além de um saxofonista que dispensa comentários, um ser humano incrível.
Wow! Man, thank you so much for sharing this. Baptiste is such a monster! And your writing on screen is so helpful! Amazing content!
Man this was so inspiring, great idea for a video series. Thanks for posting
Man, you are the best person ever. Thanks for this video (and for this channel, acctually). Bless from Chile 😋
Him is really the king ! I love you herbin❤️🛸🎷
Thank you for sharing! Super inspiring!
I’m totally going back and looking at all those patterns lol thanks for the video glad you were able to share this!!
4:08 that just sounds so amazing, even on a potato recording. so fast and blissful
Agreed!
Awesome! Thanks for making it happen so we can see it!
Thank you for sharing this. Fantastic!❤
Thanks for this, saxologic !! ❤️🙌
Happy birthday!
Amazing video
Super excited for this upload, love your content! Also loved your feature on Dave's channel!!
Thank you clarinet master!
This IS Jazz, authentic and organic. 😮
I can hear Charlie Parker's voice, and feel his spiritual presence as Baptiste executes and mentors❤ while Nathan absorbs studiously 😂😢🎉😮
Of course, Nathan can't wait to go home and practice!😮❤🎉
Yes, you are correct 👏 👌 I am a deja vu to this tutorial and dialogue, which I am happy to have caught.
"It's better to be late than never."
Thanks both!
This is AWESOME!
First off, Happy Belated Birthday bro! And thank you for sharing this video lesson! This was pretty informative. :)
Happy birthday again Nathan, you're the man
You’re the better man!
Thanks for this video! Great content!
Awesome, thanks for posting this! His musical "thinking" seems closer to the "original bebop music theory" than the modern chord-scale theory approach, at least from what I've read about the original beboppers. Particularly this struck me: rather than an altered scale the C#min6 is thought of as a chord structure on top of the chord. That's how Dizzy Gillespie and others thought about it I seem to recall.
I love how unphased he is even when he says "you know, shit happens" - so wise and experienced
Thank you so much, this helps a lot
Great vid man . Thank you
Amazing,thank you!
Great lesson
finally new lessons to try out
"it's not a date, I'm not a model" LOL
I bring this mentality to more things than I should
It's the little bits an pieces approach I like. For me, the tri tone substitution was a highlight. Instead of C7, play through C#-7/F#7 which is basically an elaborate detour 1/2 step above the resolving key where you just sort of fall into it. Same sort of thing applies to the #m6 (1/2 step above the dominant). And also practicing fast. slow is boring. if you can't do fast there is no point bothering to play. better to wreck the line and blow past half the notes than to play it safe. eventually, you get there. but you'll never be a player worth listening to if you stay in slow lane
Thanks so much for sharing!! 😮
Happy birthday sax man!
Thank you brother man!
Wow, it's so true that Baptiste Herbin is the present-day Charlie Parker. I'm sure he practised the saxophone just like Charlie Parker. I'm glad that I discovered this video today, and I know it was released in 2020. I also bought the Nathan's Dailey Sax Fundamentals for Technical Agility and I hope for the best. Thanks.
Omg Haptiste Berbin!
Ngl was geeking out when he played entomology, I LOVE THAT SONG
HAPPY Birthday dude. And thanks for sharing your gift. Baptiste is on another level.
Love your video tips and unique approach.
Was feeling an unintentional Eric Andre vibe with that unconscious nervous fingering of keys. Pads hitting throughout...while he was talking and even while coming off a demo.
Thank you man and yeah sorry about that Jesus I didn’t realize how much I do that
This kinda reminds me why I'll prob always be hobbyist player...guys like Herbin clearly do this stuff like I do with my day job, ie 7+ hours each day (averaging out). Unbelievable level to reach though, this is what mastery sounds like!
I'm delight to see your vidéo ! And I'm happy to see Baptiste share is talent and is knowledge. I hope you will have the same passion than him, he's a great musician but also a great person. From a guy working for Vandoren Paris ;)
Happy belated birthday man 🥳
I know a little about Baptiste, I know about some others killers "sax pro"; it is perhaps better to learn about you are able to do, before starting by knowing what these incredible guys are able to do.
Don't confuse their way, and your way.
As much as possible , avoid lessons from monsters, they are more able (unconsciously) to destroy you more than help you.Even if they look like cool guys , what they may be.
French use to say "bon musicien, mauvais professeur - bon professeur , mauvais musicien".
I agree. Seriously, what is this lesson? I mean, it is great is so many ways because Baptiste is incredible, so first of all thanks for sharing and all, it was full of great phrasing, good advice, and good vibes, lots of gutsy moments, but the virtuosity needs to rest, and settle down, from time to time... In this case o, the guy's face is red, and outside of Baptiste talking english like a french cow, I feel like it is going in all directions at once, full speed... And as a result, Saxologic is just fanboying, saying "hell yeah!"...
Pretty sure that he has transcribed it all already, to make the most of it, which is the most important part.
But with a normal student, this is no teaching, it is having a chat and show off.
At that level, nothing wrong with that, but I believe that when you really want to "pass the torch", you need to be a little more prepared...
A good teacher will sum up things and break them down in a way that people understand, and you have to prepare for each of your words to follow each others like a good book would.
A teacher will explain concepts. Not just play them, hoping that the student might transcribe when you play it at 400bpm.
A teacher will assess his student, and know where he lacks, and what he needs to practice, so that he can come up with a program that will free the student up.
Baptiste is a player. You'll learn music like a child will learn by talking, bit by bit, and it is going to take time, so in one lesson it is going to be short.
But it is so fun to see!
Juste pour l'accent déjà... ;)
Holy cow, amazing vid man!!
Holy cow 😂
Happy Birthday 🎂🎷🎂
Amazing bro!
36:27 the caption had me dead, I relate so much
Loved this, thank you. You seemed surprised, as was I, that he included the passing tone when he was playing the bebop scale in thirds.
It's like every phrase is a pleasant suprise. How do you begin to play like that. He wonderfully demonstrate on the horn what he is saying.As he was playing I could sense the spirit of Charlie Parker, then he mentioned "bird"
Happy belated broski
RIP Alto Reed, what a name
I've just started playing sax and my skill is at a point where I don't even recognize what is so special about his playing, it's beyond my comprehension for now 😁
This is awesome
THANK YOU
I don't even play sax, I'm a beginner accordion player. I just love the musical nerdiness of it all. I can definitely learn something from this even if it's not for my main instrument.
I knew an accordion player who was driving through Washington DC with his accordion in the backseat. He stopped by a convenient store to get something to drink. Got out of his car and locked and went in to get something. When he came back out he noticed that his window was broken and somebody had put two more Accordion‘s in his backseat!
This is some good shit! Thanks
The longer one lives, the more one has an opportunity to hear, see, learn and commit to memory - and, of course, play and pass on to others.
Never heard of Mr. Baptiste Herbin; he is surrealistically awesome!
Thanks for sharing him and his musical feats, many of which are appreciably (C-)Parkeresque in characteristics.
Lohvissimo!
So effortlessly beautiful is Baptiste's performance that I want to listen to him all day - forever, non-stop!
Thanks for sharing Nathan, awesome content. Making me less scared to take lessons.
Don’t be afraid! It’s worth it!
Fantastic
happy birthday dude your awesome. to everyone who reads this comment, sending out virtual hugs and happy holidays

There's legend status, and then there's Baptiste Herbin status.

@@Saxologic says the college sax professor to the highschool freshman struggling to play any scales but Eb,D and Bb
I know this isnt related to the vid but can you pleaseeeeeee upload a full clip of you on Spain from last year???
If I had a lesson with Baptiste I'd ask him what can't you do on a saxophone?
Coming back to this video, could you explain what it means to play in that "Fully Diminished" style @4:08? Is that the arpeggio for the fully diminished chord, resolving back to the one? To put into relative terms, he plays 1-C-1 (Db arpeggio, C fully diminished arpeggio, the Db)? I see it as though he let that fully diminished resolve almost back into itself by creating pseudo-tension by moving everything down a half step, INTO the fully diminished pattern. What are your thoughts on how to analyze it?
What the heck that play at the beginning! Also you don't look to bad.
When is merch coming!? I need some totally knarly drip my guy.
:000!!
thanks for this upload bro, new subscriber
you should upload some videos of you playin some tunes!
My biggest takeaway from this lesson is that I'll never be as good a sax player as Baptiste.
The ad should've been: "I've finally reached peak quarantine boredom"
