Hi guys, thanks for all the amazing kind comments! Greatly appreciated! Just to know your opinions, are there people who would be interested to see my aproach to altissimo's? And if you like false fingerings, I shared a while ago quite a bundle of them in this video: th-cam.com/video/XlXNNYtp-Es/w-d-xo.html
Hi Saxologic, I guess we're both in the Lick business huh,.love your channel by the way, really dig your sax sound! Thanks for the background comment, that was a year of renovation (and logging) worth at least about 50 transcriptions I could have done.
holy moly, this is what ive been searching for, for a very long time. please make more of these!! specificially for Gerald Albright and MIchael Brecker!!
Great video man, Gerald is awesome man. Very nice breakdown. I've been watching this song every day since I first saw it about a month ago and it's super amazing.
Thanks, Great Stuff, but I am curious as to how did you learn these things that you are teaching us? You play great, was this a hard process for you? Did you have to practice a lot, or do you just have natural talent for the sax? Thanks , gk
Hi gksax2016, thanks for the interesting question. I guess most of the work for being able to learn this solo was the total process of studying saxophone since I was 7, just as a hobby first, and then taking it to the professional level here in Belgium by studying a Bachelor and Master in Music - for 6 years that is - in College here. So I did my fair share of lots of practising and playing gigs. That being said, it hopefully sounds not to arrogant when I say that it was actually not really hard. In fact, when transcribing the solo and finishing it, I noticed I could kinda play it at around 80-90% of the speed, so I thought it should'nt be too time consuming to learn it completely in tempo (teaching/giggin and renovating a house don't bring you a lot of spare time (not to mention transcribing and shooting videos for the chanell ) so I unfortunately can't put in hours like I used to in college). It seemed feasible, so I needed a few short sessions, probably 4 of 20 minutes to get it up to the actual tempo. So, a natural talent... Don't know. I think you need some talent, but if you don't put in the time somewhere in your life, it won't get you very far. Some will be faster, some slower and some probably can't get past a certain point. But putting in the hours of practise is inevitable :) Hope this makes sense, glad you enjoyed the video. Jorre
@@SharpElevenMusic Thanks, I see your talent, hours of practice and dedication to your craft has taken you to this great professional level of playing you are at. Keep up the great work and Be Blessed, gk
Hey Adeola! Some new sax specific stuff (and altissimo's as well) coming up soon, so subcribe to get notified when we do 😀. Thanks for that input, it's definitely coming soon!
At this point not, but maybe in the future. I've tested a bunch of his alto mouthpieces (NY Bros 2, GAIA 4, Fire and Earth), I don't know if you have seen that video? I'll be soon receiving two different versions of his Durga as well on alto. Maybe in the future, you can always let Theo know as he is really open in communication, great dude! He send me already so many great alto pieces, not sure I can ask for more now so soon 😂
Oh certainly an influence why I tried that mouthpiece back in the day, but also played a Beechler diamon inlay for about a year (you can see where that came from...) and a Jody Jazz for 3 years (just because of trying in the shop). Eventually I decided it made no sense to have 3 mouthpieces, two of them just laying around so vowed to myself to try them all 3 and decide once and for all. did this years back and I'm the richest saxophonist around 😛
Hahaha niicee....Btw do you know a rubber alto mp wich is free blowing and is also so clear and focused like the beechler and other metals? Because I struggle with the intonation of metals (and of rubber Claude lakeys😂😂😭)
Hi Travis, here I used a Beechler Bellite, but nowadays I play a different mouthpiece, the Eric Marienthal model from Retro Revival, if you would dig in some licks of the week from last year you'll see the change :)
Hi there, this is taken from his Solo with the Cannonball band, the complete solo transcription is up on our channel. Search for "Gerald Albright Soul With A Capital S" here in the TH-cam search and you'll find it along with this tutorial and a cover by me 🙂. Let me know if you found it! Jorre
__ bruh what? I’ve been listening to this music for ever. If this isn’t funky then what is? Pls tell me mister expert. Considering you’re one of just 3 people to dislike this video

Love the way your videos are formatted. Pretty inspiring! I’m definitely jealous of your background too; I don’t have anything nearly as cool.
Hey nice seeing you here
A wild Saxologic has appeared! Remember to pay tribute to our saxophonic lord Kenny G! Invoke him with the sacred Mario lick incantation!

Yeah, quality video for sure

Hi Nhojjy, there is still lots more to come and on the transcribing list (and yes, also the names you mentioned), so stay tuned, still lots to come ;)
Yeeeahh man soo funkyy🎷🎷 that is GERALD'S STYLE!🎉
Man I'm so happy I've found this channel
And we are happy we found you 😉
Great video man, Gerald is awesome man. Very nice breakdown. I've been watching this song every day since I first saw it about a month ago and it's super amazing.
Thanks Kadrian, guess we have similar tastes then, was totally blow away by this solo so I just HAD to transcribe it and figure it out :)
Thank you for sharing 🎶🎶🎷✌🏽😎
Awesomeness!!
Thanks bro
You're welcome, glad you like it 🙏
Man... Thank you for all explanation. You ar a very talented guy. Congrats.
Depending on your oral cavity and set up, there are multiple ways to get altissimo and overtones on your horn.
Thanks for your work man, I was looking for this for a long time, how Gerald would "sneak in" a low note in his solos, overtones of course! Thank you!
you guys are the best
Thanks Kappa!
Excelente! Muchas gracias por el video👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Jose! 🙏😃
Top, may friend. Good
Fantastic!!!!!!!
Thank you sir
Good stuff thanks 👍😎🎷
For most players, this is to difficult. We are not talking about a pro player, we're talking about Gerald!!

@@SharpElevenMusic Thanks, I see your talent, hours of practice and dedication to your craft has taken you to this great professional level of playing you are at. Keep up the great work and Be Blessed, gk
I wish you can DISPLAY A PDF CLEAR FINGERING DIAGRAM of the altisimo/overtone. Could you do that PLEASE?
Hey Adeola! Some new sax specific stuff (and altissimo's as well) coming up soon, so subcribe to get notified when we do 😀. Thanks for that input, it's definitely coming soon!
The mouthpiece is also a huge factor as well as your own personal evolution throughout your playing, practice and what you are listening to
Will you be testing and performing the Wanne Tenor mouthpieces?
At this point not, but maybe in the future. I've tested a bunch of his alto mouthpieces (NY Bros 2, GAIA 4, Fire and Earth), I don't know if you have seen that video? I'll be soon receiving two different versions of his Durga as well on alto.
Maybe in the future, you can always let Theo know as he is really open in communication, great dude! He send me already so many great alto pieces, not sure I can ask for more now so soon 😂
What I can do if I have fingers too short?? 😝
grow a pair :p
When you play the altissimo A, Bb, and B, are you using the Octave Key at all?
Hi Jaared A, yes I do. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
#11 Music I figured you did, but you didn’t state that at all in your video.
@@jaareda9940 yes, missed that one, my bad
Joo nice tone what mp do you play?
A Beechler Bellite, opening 8
Oh cool... Greetings to marienthal😂

what mouthpiece do you use?

Hi notes is Kale full display
Tower of power yess
Did you say that you have transcribed that lick? If so where can I get it?
