Saxophone Bebop Articulation lesson

Follow the full program at: www.HelloSaxoph...
Bebop articulation is an essential part of any saxophone player's basic skill set. For jazz players especially this technique is almost a way of life. The basics of it are very simple but getting the feeling is also that comes more naturally to some, and takes more time to develop for others. Listening to a lot of jazz records is one thing that really helps in developing this style of articulation, the other is.. LOTS of practice!
The technique is comprised of two parts: A certain attitude + a the articulation/ emphasizing of the first, and the every second (quarter) note that the player plays.
In this video lesson from HelloSaxophone.com Florian-James explains how it works and trough out the video he plays some examples to get you familiar with the typical bebop sound.

Basically its a groove, a mode, it helps if you try moving in a type of way that mirrors the sound...basically kinda dance with it. Its really a "when you get it, you get it" thing, know what I mean?

[@kaivrock]

Really excellent! I watch a lot of sax vids and you do such a good job of diving into the meat of bebop soloing. You make it easy to understand because you stick to the basic scale and just add rhythm. Thanks!

Mickey Vidakovich Obrigado :)

[@Improvisation-musicale]

Cette leçon est très intéressante. Bravo pour votre travail et vos explications claires.

[@DrRocketTurner]

Learned a lot from this, nice tips for practicing if you like be-bop! Jazz players all love this. It kills sales, of course, because listeners want something accessible, hence the popularity of rock and blues; you got a memory tag, melody line you whistle on the way home. Melody line always the biggest draw for the greatest # of listeners, NOT a big thing with be-bop.

Good morning "Hello Sax". I must say you are doing a very good job for free.

[@theslimemolds5099]

Love this channel. You got it right got the soul. It's our groove thing. Cool man. And that beautiful art piece behind you represents chaose KENPO KARATE. No linear lines no circles. Im the first ever to teach it & just like original bbop it's met with restrictions & non understanding AWESOME

[@brunohaine2522]

Could you make a video training on playing the reggae sax sound as I cant find a good one anywhere

[@Armando_Gutierrez]

Listen to Charlie Parker. Nuff' said.

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

Don't think that's entirely true. Often I hear Bird play a four-chord-arpeggio by tonguing the first note and the second note but not the other two notes. With triplets that have an eigth-note pickup it also depends on wether they're on a strong or a weak beat when it comes to the way you tongue them.

[@garysnowdon1918]

Ok, I'm new to the saxophone I got a tenor sax, I'd like to learn to play it now. I wonder is there a sight or program that show the fingered key position for the music being played? I noticed it on hellosaxophone introduction. Thanks

[@HelloSaxophone]

Yes we show the finger-positions for some of the things you play in our program videos. Hello Saxophone is actually the first program ever to do this :)

[@WaltBluv69]

HelloSaxophone ok, show me a song or 2, let me try it.

[@danacolley1579]

thank you that was fun

[@Jannesdw]

Hello James,
is it necessary that you can read notes for the Hello Saxophone starters guide? And what brand is the saxophone you use?
By the way, your video's are awesome!

[@saxmachine9]

You playinf Conn 10 m? If so what size of mpc and brand is there a baffle in it?

[@ishaanghose4103]

I think his piece is an Otto link super tone master. Either the vintage or ny model with its original ligature

[@ishaanghose4103]

All mouthpieces have baffles. You may be referring to a rolled baffle which the link has

[@tomworsley3584]

Hi
What mouthpiece/reeds do you use?

[@HelloSaxophone]

but I favour a Berg Larsen Tenor piece at the moment 9*

[@tomworsley3584]
