5 years ago I saw a TH-cam cover by Charlez and decided that day that I was going to teach myself the Sax and do covers as well. Today I can successfully say I achieved that and have my own channel on TH-cam! I hope this comment encourages anyone looking to learn the Saxophone- You CAN do it
I used to play this every single day when my daughter came home (years ago) from the sitter while I was at work, along with the song "Sway", and she was listen to them and then want me to repeat them every day. The power in this girls voice is amazing. My wife sang and did not believe this give was actually the one singing until she watched is a few times because of the quality and power, but she believed after that. The best part is that smile at the very end, and it cracks me up how she keeps looking around and getting distracted by whatever is happening, but it doesn't effect the quality of the recording one bit. She also tried to play my saxophone, but she was too young and just kept chewing up the reeds LOL.
For anyone wondering, it looks like he's using a cannonball 20th anniversary series alto with the normal neck instead of the fat. I've bought a cannonball vintage reborn and it should be arriving soon!👏🏼 I'm so excited
Rip, I searched TH-cam for "Tenor Sax" and that only. This pooped up and I watched it and I'm amazed. Although I only play sax for marching band. I used to play jazz for middle school in 8th grade. I get into jazz sometime thing year :)
+charlez360 The only Music store around me that carries saxes in store is Long and Mcquade and they dont have any anywhere. But they have a beautiful one in store made of bronze and Im tempted to grab it.
Hey man you're the reason I started playing sax 4 1/2 years ago, I'm always listening to you , idk why it took me so long to comment, but you rock dude, thanks for making music, keep it up charlez, you're amazing !
Played Alto Sax years ago. Bought myself a new one to pick it back up. It is my all time favorite instrument. I listen to this guy's music all the time. Love this song. It's definitely on my list.
Had to laugh at the tail... just happened on your vid. Nice job. Years ago I won runner-up in the Seagram's Talent Search in NY for singing/writing... got to play, sing and work with hundreds of stars over the years. One day my wife dragged home a rescue chihuahua, he HAD to be in my arms or on my lap whenever I sang or played; loved music & always came running as soon as I plugged in... 22 years. After 40 yrs, I sold my horns after a bunch of surgeries to pay some bills, I've regretted it ever since. Nice job. It's not how many fills, but the heart and tone. David Gilmore can make you cry playing Alto, but probably couldn't play thru a practice book. Don't stop.
+Sax and Strings Lol it's so cool to see you here! :D You, charlez360 and Justin ward are huge inspirations for me! It inspires me to keep going with playing the saxophone!
Your one of the causes why I wanted to play Sax and u know what I did I started in the sixth grade and now I'm in eight I play tenor now but thank you u are such an inspiration to me
Your playing breaks my heart in all the right ways. I cant help but to close my eyes and get lost in the story it creates. The Lord has blessed you greatly and I'm so glad you've used the gifts and blessed us with your talent.
This sounds so amazing, saxophone covers never registered as something to listen to with me until I came across your channel, I'd love to hear how this sounds with the words sung over it!
i am in advanced band for flute and jazz for piano, my teacher wants us to go to an begginer intermediate concert for jazz. i dont have a 2nd jazz instrument. So i chose to learn the alto sax. i am so excited now!
Holy jeez @charlez360 your sax is gorgeous! Your music is even better! You are what i strive to be when i play! Its only me third school year playing sax but man I feel like i have played since the day i was born.
I just rented one a week ago. I haven't practised more than I want too yet and I'm finally getting the right embouchure and sound finally.. first lesson in 3 days. It's an amazing sounding instrument.
+Sami Greige Its called growling. 3 ways to do it. You can hum a 5th to that note, you make the noise you make when you clear your throat, or you can roll ur tongue
I've been wanting to learn the sax for a long time now. I currently play Guitar, drums and a little piano. This cover made me buy a Alto sax and am currently waiting for shipment. Cant wait to get started. Thank you for posting this video. Very inspiring.
EXCELLENT. Very well worked, beautiful and tender sonority, mainly with two instruments and especially still when the sax enters the minute 3'55. Congratulations !!!
+Tech Genie Playing by ear is much easier than writing out the music. At least for me, since I do both. When you write it out, you have to figure out how to write the rhythms as well.
In the elementary sense, yes. Your teacher tells you that so that you keep your embouchure tight and in tact, but once you start using advanced techniques (such as circular breathing for instance), there is a lot more leeway in that regard 👍
It didn't take me very long, I was a weird kid.. haha. Here's a tip to learn: go to the sink, fill your cheeks with water, and when you push the water out of your cheeks into the sink, inhale through your nose. Repeat until the entire action is easy then try it while playing your clarinet. The biggest focal point is that you maintain the same pitch and tone throughout 👍
This gave me goose bumps and i totally feel the same,i loooove music and dance but only in rare full form and this has driven me to get sax lessons and a saxofone soon.
hum and play. Just him a harmony and then slide your.mouth in mouthpiece. keep humming, but don't air in yet. Finally, hum and blow air at same time. It might be difficult at first,.but you'll catch up
![HELLO - Adele [Saxophone Version]](/img/n.gif)

Cant tell you how many times ive played this video. Seen it for the first time when i was 14 and now im about to be 23. What a good ass performance!!
I just bought my first tenor sax I'm 34 all because of this guy and leo p I just really like the sound of a saxophone
No words, simply out of the curve!!!!
I just got the alto saxophone and I watched a whole bunch of videos of them . This is my favorite one!
Haven’t cried to hearing a song in a while, killer stuff my man
5 years ago I saw a TH-cam cover by Charlez and decided that day that I was going to teach myself the Sax and do covers as well. Today I can successfully say I achieved that and have my own channel on TH-cam!

I also play the saxophone and say that this is coming out great. Congratulations ,,CHARLEZ360''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
You always play more than the notes...you capture the emotions...and make it look effortless. Congratulations. Artist.
For anyone wondering, it looks like he's using a cannonball 20th anniversary series alto with the normal neck instead of the fat. I've bought a cannonball vintage reborn and it should be arriving soon!👏🏼 I'm so excited
So weich und tief und kraftvoll. Besser als das Original. Viel Erfolg, junger Mann!
The best sax covers.
That is a hella nice alto can we just take a moment to notice this? If I had a sax like that I’d never need anything else in my life
Rip, I searched TH-cam for "Tenor Sax" and that only. This pooped up and I watched it and I'm amazed. Although I only play sax for marching band. I used to play jazz for middle school in 8th grade. I get into jazz sometime thing year :)
"pooped up"
Ive never really liked the sound of Canonball saxes but you make this sound sweet
+MrIzzy5466 Neither did I until I played one. You should give it a shot next time you're in the music store :)
+charlez360 The only Music store around me that carries saxes in store is Long and Mcquade and they dont have any anywhere. But they have a beautiful one in store made of bronze and Im tempted to grab it.
+charlez360 Makes me miss my cannonball raven alto. I had to sell it a few years ago to pay some bills. It was a great horn.
+charlez360 what did you do to the Yamaha yas-275
He plays with so much expression and voice
This is EXACTLY what music is about, goosebumps and energy is what i have every time i listen. Thank you charlez360
I listened to each cover all the way through! I couldn't pause this not even for a second!
Hey man you're the reason I started playing sax 4 1/2 years ago, I'm always listening to you , idk why it took me so long to comment, but you rock dude, thanks for making music, keep it up charlez, you're amazing !

He's so great. I listen to this song every day. Because his music makes me happy and i want learn play the sax like him.
nothin better than a good old alto sax
1:11 literally made me smile... this is awesome.
I love how more and more saxophone youtubers have cannonball saxophones, it makes me glad to live in utah
is utah known for saxophones? lol

+Brett Allen Thank you for your comment. I hope you can pick up a horn again soon, I wish you the best of luck Brett.
+charlez360 what kind of mouthpiece are you using?
Brett Allen sad story man

Andressa Pereira Machado kkkkkk

Your music is therapeutic. You inspired me to follow my passion for music.

Your playing breaks my heart in all the right ways. I cant help but to close my eyes and get lost in the story it creates. The Lord has blessed you greatly and I'm so glad you've used the gifts and blessed us with your talent.
This sounds so amazing, saxophone covers never registered as something to listen to with me until I came across your channel, I'd love to hear how this sounds with the words sung over it!
I love that sax. Cannonball!!!!
Superb....2019 who's here with me??

Dear God this is incredible. Great work man. I do a ton of recording. Drums and guitar myself. I love saxophones thought. So much soul in them
amazing... Only one word to describe it. I even prefer it to the original
Tu joue trop bien du saxophone franchement !!! Respect a toi ! tu est mon idole a présent :)
PS: I'm french sorry ;)
Love the Canonball sax. So much that I bought one. Amazing instrument. Charlez360 just gets better and better.

I just started trying to learn saxophone today and I already love it
Samuel Ferrell same😂😂
I just rented one a week ago. I haven't practised more than I want too yet and I'm finally getting the right embouchure and sound finally.. first lesson in 3 days. It's an amazing sounding instrument.
It's the greatest, fellow sax player here
all even the doggie mate enjoys the music. you're awesome and I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for allowing us to hear you play.
I love how you vibrate on the low notes, how do you do that?
+Sami Greige Its called growling. 3 ways to do it. You can hum a 5th to that note, you make the noise you make when you clear your throat, or you can roll ur tongue
+Mark Kim oh thanks alot !!
i also love that lol. i was wondering how he does that. +Mark Kim thanks for telling us that
You move your jaw up and down
It is a vibrator
I want to stop playing violin to play sax so bad, and now I get to! You inspired me. Your really good at this! Keep doing what your doing!
look at the saxophone tho😍😍😍😍😍😍
you gotta listen to the sound, not looking at his sax right 😛
+Sax and Strings ig
+Jasmine Young ig? ;)
I have that sax :)
+Ryan Hawks oh you do? What sax is it? :)
Goosebumps. Absolutely amazing!
you inspire me man. to become a better saxophonist myself. I LOVE your work! please keep it up! great cover too! you always rock it
That's so nice! Let's hope he'll see this :) He will read that with a big smile on his face ;)
Soy de Argentina, increíble lo que haces! me tranquiliza mucho escucharte. De verdad es admirable 😌
I was trying to decide on what to play in middle school. It's has boiled down to clarinet and alto saxophone.
Awesome musician. Love, love, love listening to you!
He’s playing a canon ball professional sax and for the growling u just gotta hmmmm with ur throat to get tht sound 👌🏽
If I wanted a joke ide follow you into the Jimmy and watch you take a leak.
I have no words man! simply out of this world..
Brasil alguém?
Eu 😂😂😂😂
Oi
I've been wanting to learn the sax for a long time now. I currently play Guitar, drums and a little piano. This cover made me buy a Alto sax and am currently waiting for shipment. Cant wait to get started. Thank you for posting this video. Very inspiring.
I was feeling the first notes...then the tail popped up and started wagging~~ lol
+lady yassie :D :D :D
+lady yessie you got that right
LOL
lady yassie when I saw the tail I thought it was a guy swinging his you know what. Or a girl wit a strap
The dog was feeling it too 😂
EXCELLENT. Very well worked, beautiful and tender sonority, mainly with two instruments and especially still when the sax enters the minute 3'55. Congratulations !!!
You should definitely do a collab with Justin Ward, it would be the best sax cover ever produced.
That is a beautiful Sax! and a beautiful playing job!
Awesome sound with the cannonball !
Even the little dog was exited haha
Robb M. Cupich The dog has good taste in music too
Wow I can listen to you all night keep it up bro
Excuse me while I burn my tuba and buy a sax 😍
Goodbye violin! Time to switch priorities! 😂
Ive played saxophone for four years and its really nice, tip top sound
+Owen Hans good luck with burning your tuba lol
+AGames Reviews (AGR) I just got a sax any tips?
GamerGod895 Focus on tone before learning any songs and things. Make sure you always have firm corners and dont' puff your cheeks.
Love that dark tone. Perfect for adele song. Looks like a black nickel cannonball. TOP notch. !!!
This is really really beautiful! :)
Well done. I like the tail, too. It adds another level of a soulful touch.
How do you get that awesome controlled growl on your sax? It sounds so good, but I can't seem to replicate it.
Me neither! I don't understand! 😂😂 That skill is just amazing ;)
Yeah my sax has a dull sound to it, I just don't get it...
You have to kind of like hum into the saxophone as you are playing
+Jacob Miska you gotta growl with your throat and then apply that to when you play! Hope that helps :)
Jacob Miska u have to dig ur teen in the op more the more stress in ur lips and the tighter they are it growls more
Heaven!!! Iba atake mo!!! Madami na ako napakinggan, ganda ng mga covers mo!!! Keep up the good work!!
First hairy metronome I've seen.
🤣
OMG!!! What talent!!! And the sax is just beautiful!!
Do you work out the sax music or get sheet music?
He most likely did it by ear
yeah he messaged me, very impressive :)
+Tech Genie Playing by ear is much easier than writing out the music. At least for me, since I do both. When you write it out, you have to figure out how to write the rhythms as well.
omg one of the best things i've heard, what an evocative instrument alto sax is
+loveisthemessage anyone got any theories why the sax connects so well emotionally?
Your 🎷 is the most beautiful thing ever
JJ REACTS 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
Keep it up... dude loving this just discovered this.. and my ears are in love. Jesus man keep it up
I play clarinet and was taught never to puff my cheeks. Wouldn't it be the same for a saxophone?
In the elementary sense, yes. Your teacher tells you that so that you keep your embouchure tight and in tact, but once you start using advanced techniques (such as circular breathing for instance), there is a lot more leeway in that regard 👍
+charlez360 how long did it take you to learn to circular breathe? A technique like that would help my playing so much!
It didn't take me very long, I was a weird kid.. haha. Here's a tip to learn: go to the sink, fill your cheeks with water, and when you push the water out of your cheeks into the sink, inhale through your nose. Repeat until the entire action is easy then try it while playing your clarinet. The biggest focal point is that you maintain the same pitch and tone throughout 👍
+charlez360 I try it just straight up and the concept just seems so weird
Thank you for the advice!
Parabéns toca demais fico adimirando todos os dias suas músicas tocadas no sax! Adimiro mto a forma como toca sucessos!
can you give me the saxophone name
It looks like a Cannonball Sceptyr.
Amazing person you are
Your so good at playing the saxophone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙉🙉🙉
Hermosísimo saludos desde Perú eres genial💕 jamás me cansaría de escucharlo siempre acompañado 🐶🐾
Did no one see the dog tail
it is a cat
+Gianna Venturini lol its a dog cats don't wag their tails read the description
I did
i was gonna say like is nobody noticing it
Diantreeeee se escuchaaaa en la mother, yo toco Sax y ya te Amoooo, lo tocas y enamora!! 😍😘
This gave me goose bumps and i totally feel the same,i loooove music and dance but only in rare full form and this has driven me to get sax lessons and a saxofone soon.
How do you growl like that?
th-cam.com/video/JVUqHfqUYAQ/w-d-xo.html
+samocamo123 You gotta make noises with ur mouth for instance say Aaaa while blowing
+Åse Rage nice, I will try this on my sax
sing a 5th, but if you sing different chords you different growl not huge difference but a slight one
hum and play. Just him a harmony and then slide your.mouth in mouthpiece. keep humming, but don't air in yet. Finally, hum and blow air at same time. It might be difficult at first,.but you'll catch up
Love this it's just beautiful
