Wonderful lesson. Thanks!

What about ska, rocksteady, and reggae?

Don't get flavored reeds.

scales are horseshit, musical notation is horseshit, all of this is wishy washy bullshit. -- brought to you by the 161IQ masters degree in engineering 12-year-saxophonist, me. Its all horseshit. scales are bullshit. just play music. scales are hoooooooooooooorseshit

If you wanna know your instrument well, you must start with classical. Somehow I always can tell if a jazz musician don’t know classical. First the horrible sound due to lack of classical view on sound. But they say it’s artsy.😅artsy my ars😅

they just got to make a concept for bari

Great lesson, thank you so much 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have a great Christmas and New Years, Doc!

I think that highlighting that something is hand-made as a quality feature is wrong. Hand-made always means a spread in characteristics. Robot-made is always better in terms of quality and above all in consistency of quality. And Robots don't drink red wine in the lunchtime ;) Basically, it should always be: be careful, it's hand-made!

Man, I remember the days when the Selmer snobs I played with in college looked down on Japanese made saxophones. Boy, do they look dumb now. The 62 is Yamaha’s golden child, the original all around saxophone. From classical to jazz to rock to pop to RnB, the 62 is perfect for a wide variety of different musical styles.

i’ve never played it but Ferling no. 12 seems like a living hell

Are the fingerings different for soprano and bari?

I just use folded dollar bills to prop open keys, and leave them in the case. For the $20 price point, I can buy 20 dollar bills instead of two Key Leaves, they're easily replaceable, and you can even launder them if you like. (Most importantly, I always have cash on hand to tip the Bartender or Servers :)

very good lesson thank you!! i have one question what does slur practice mean?

Could you please measure the tenor Reso mouthpiece’s total length?

Thanks!

Lester Young's On Savoy swings pretty darn hard

😂😂😂😂 I love this do it again

Its a couple of years I?m tryng to play "a taste of honey" from Paul Desmond. It's my nightmare. Ok, I'm a beginner but I found very exciting how Paul Desmond "talk" inside the sax. Please help me to achive a better result!

I feel bad for anyone named Jared at 6:05

8:02 all I can hear is the Ms Pac-Man theme just before your level starts

i love johnny Hartman and Nancy Wilson both vocalists but I've leaned a lot listening to them

❤ Klaipėda

Mary Kay cosmetics sells a good extrapolation product

My friend does this weird thing like he’ll lean his head further a lot to reach his mouthpiece when all he need is to adjust his neckstrap 😭

Will your friends at Loom add something non-coffee to their available support products? I'd love some quality hot chocolate, for example.

For long tone practice, I like to play along to Bohren Und Der Club of Gore. If you don't know them, I suggest the record Piano Nights.

Great video, thanks! Should you use the side F# key when going down from G to Gb/F#?

I use Vandoren blue and java , too many other cuts as Dr. Wally said .

Vielen Dank!

Playing on an 82z it seems.

is this a good saxophone for a high schooler? i’ve only been playing for 2 years and i’m not a total beginner but i’m not that great either

Sounds cheesy but I love the way you dress. Men especially have forgotten what it’s like to look dressed and proper. ❤

My son started playing alto saxophone in band about a year ago. He started taking private lessons a few months ago and his teacher has him start on low Bb and play chromatically up to high F sharp. The teacher is always correcting his embouchure- just like you say. This lesson will also help him with the low Bb. I tell him that low Bb defines how well you can play every other note on the sax (glad I am a guitar player - sax looks really hard!).

I had 30mins to spare before my group practice so put on Cool Blues from Spotify. Really enjoying it. Thanks.

😂

You sound like Tucker Carlson.

Thank you mister dandy man.

Man, what a sound

Oh my, starting the video with some sharp humour! lol....love your videos, and in your own special way, you make the world a more interesting place (a good thing!!)

How many microplastics do we ingest over the course of a synthetic reed lol

You totally ROCK Wally !! Big Thanks for this !!!

Please help !! I’m 62 and would like to learn to play a Baritone sax. Can you please recommend a learning book 🙏 kind regards from the Netherlands

What is the gray neck tenon clamp and is that a special thumb screw used with it? What tonal qualities does it change it any?

Ddario sounded better for me :)

I just did it in middle school. After figuring out how to use the other F and E fingerings, the F# and G were easy!! 😮😮😮

Hey, Wally I want to ask you a thing about reeds, so I went to the latest video. Vandoren's v12 cut really helps me get a classical sound, but if I am not using that exact cut I cannot get anything close to that sound. I want to know if that's bad because you did not recommend the cut in your video about reed brands and it also may lead to some sort of an addiction. Inability to play without "that little moral boost"

Thank you for this great and honest review!
