lift the tongue a few CENTIMETERS??? My mouth isn't that big. Other than that, I think this is going to help me. I keep pushing for tighter embouchure, especially as I get tired. Concentrating on vowels might get me moving in the right direction.

Yes, a few centimeters. At least a couple. Maybe you were thinking of inches. Centimeters are very small.

Diggin' everything as I want to start incorporating altissimo. By the way what is on your walls? Are you using whatever you have on your walls to dampen the sound? I need that as much as learning from you in altissimo and voicing. 😂😂😂

Those are just some wedge foam acoustic panels and bass traps I used to treat the room for mixing and recording. I think I got them from ATS Acoustics. They do help kill some unwanted reverberations, yes.

Thank you so much for this WONDERFUL video. You are the first teacher that made sense out of voicing I have witnessed. You took all the fugazy out of sax instruction and provided simple directions that were easy to understand and implement. I wish I saw this thirty years ago, but am happy to see it now, because it was immediately impactful for me. Thank you very much Sir! By the way, your introductory phrase on sax was what instantly struck me as being played by someone I needed to learn from. Thank you Sensei.

This got me thinking about the exploratory fiddling I've done on sax, and how funny flutists', so sonically limited, are about absolute laws on this stuff..NO overblown low notes, NO! A new teacher! More practice! Buy a new headjoint. A new flute. Also, your approach, focused on total sonics is great. I wonder if another, from the same experiences, could be done with a focus on quarter or other micro tones, and perhaps even notes and scales from other systems, such as the varieties of "Arabic"?

Thanks for the comment and the compliment. It would be great to explore micro tonal systems in depth. I find them fascinating. Are you familiar with saxophonist Hayden Chisholm?

Thanks for sharing all these fingerings. I’ve only been playing sax about two years but I like using some alternate fingerings for intonation and fluidity. From Eugene Rousseau I learned the middle C# by lifting top 2 left fingers from middle D or E - makes the transition smooth and quick. On my alto both middle B & C tend to be flat and I’ll add the Bb side key to raise the pitch a bit, as you mentioned for B, also for A. And my middle D and somewhat E are typically sharp and I like the left pinky B key to lower them. I’m looking forward to trying some of your suggestions.

You forgot about low a with leg 😂 Also, for front fingerings, instead of using the front key, you can finger the b key and press the f palm key (It does the same thing but is easier to transition into sometimes).

@zacksaxАй бұрын
I tried that out. B key with F palm key, I don't actually get an E or F, but a flat sounding D#. It could be good for a B to to D# trill I suppose, but doesn't really work as an alternative to front fingerings.
@loganignatenko4319Ай бұрын
@@zacksax This might have been unclear, but this is for the high register and instead of using the front key which essentially presses the b front key and f palm key, do them individually or “manually.” For high E for example, finger a g with the octave key and press the f palm key.
@zacksaxАй бұрын
@@loganignatenko4319 Thanks for clarifying. I hear you. Playing a "G" note with the f palm key definitely makes more sense than a "B" for front E. Or fingering an "A" with the palm key for high F. It's fairly awkward for me, but maybe some will like to use it. I do like that I can get a cool split tone effect with that one, if I voice it right. Thanks for the input.
