3 types of alto players…

Send this to someone and don't say which one they are🙈 #shorts #saxophone #bandmemes

[@IansPracticeRoom]

You forgot “Scoops literally every single note”

[@moily-not-moily]

Ohhhhh my fricken goodness yes! It’s so annoying!

[@ArglArgl]

What means "scoop" in this context? (Asking as a none native speaker.)

[@NotFine]

@@ArglArgl it's when you start lower than the note you're trying to play kinda like a mini glissando

[@garythegray6929]

The second alto in my jazz band cannot play a single dang note without scooping. And I'm not even joking. EVERY. SINGLE. NOTE.

[@entertainer9076]

It's me

[@jeriah1945]

I’m proud I don’t fall under any of these categories

[@FoolishFrankie]

Let’s gooo😂🔥

[@joshuasplural]

I'm a bassist too!

[@harrypotterfanforever13]

Same im glad that when i was alto i was just vibing well with everyone usually quiet until someone asked me a question or i asked someone a question i just was there

[@lorech.8326]

I’m proud I don’t fall under any of these categories. I fall under all of them

[@tutnord.]

I fall in these gategories and i play my saxophone for 3 years i think this is becuase of covid becuase i have a teacher and i learned the saxophone in the school

[@nosko4960]

you forgot, “slaps every note/most rough articulation ive ever heard”, as well as “purposefully makes the saxophone sound like a fog horn.”

[@bobbyfartz5591]

That’s me on the Bari

[@calvinparker9305]

@@bobbyfartz5591 i was about to say i feel targeted

[@mlg1185]

​@bobbyfartz5591 it's the best part of Bari is the fog horn 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LexiWhite-g9m]

Oh my goodness I always make mine sound like a fog horn! 😫

[@youtubeviewer4127]

Noo you called me out I accidentally slap 😢

[@iikpsyt4619]

2 and 3 basically covered “that lead alto” that always finishes your phrases because they have perfect pitch.

[@peterjhn7411]

Us relative pitch players can also☝️🤓

[@Chomatic149]

I swear, every time I take out my saxophone in a room with people I get asked Do yOu knOW ThE LoVE song.

[@undineskrastina9787]

i love that they call it the love song, it's literally about cheating and how he feels like he will never find love again 😂

[@SargonPG3D]

Then just dont take it out in a room with people

[@EveryDayImSufferinBUHNUHNEHNUH]

Same except fpr me it's "CAN U PLAY THAT SONG THAT GOES LIEK DUH MUH NUH NUH NEHH DUH NUH NUH

[@RiosUniverse]

@@EveryDayImSufferinBUHNUHNEHNUHi died looking at that comment😂😂😂

[@Coreman30]

What is the song in the “never enough vibrato”?

[@graycea_5]

the 4th type of annoying alto player is the one who joins band because they don’t want to do another elective. 🤦🏽‍♀️ 😂

[@arubin9188]

The fact that this video is over a year old and he still liked this comment i nuts

[@snaeb-ps3bd]

Way too many people like that in my school

[@desmondross8395]

Well people do that with ither instruments not just altos

[@LUV_natalie2]

I only joined band so i could play careless Whisper, don't get me wrong i still love band

[@Aidan-hl4wc]

Who cares? If they are learning music then its a good thing. Dont get me wrong if they dont play good you should correct them but still, music is for everyonez

[@jaedavis418]

in my school we have 5 sax players. this is how it goes, 1st chair - "im better than all of you" (he plays robotically), 2nd chair - "im louder than you" (she is literally the voice of the 1st altos, 3rd chair - "idk" (he plays so quiet sometimes i gotta wonder wheres at in the music), 4th chair - "too much" (I play too many instruments and sax being my main, im only 2nd alto most songs but im the one to not practice and still sound decent.), 5th chair - "noob" (he is new at band stuff but hes improved dramatically)

[@tjeffersonb]

every saxophone player has been through these phases

[@ParkourAxolotl]

The one who has horrible tone and only plays meme songs in class because they dont wanna be there 😭

[@bobellacrochet]

And I always have to sit next to them 😭

[@McDonaldsEula]

And the percussionist who beat their instruments to death before class 😭😭😭

[@wildlightship]

​@@McDonaldsEula literally the percussionists at my school 💀

[@McDonaldsEula]

@@wildlightship REAL 😭😭😭😭

[@chaoticmyroh]

I’m a clarinet player learning alto, and in class I sit next to this other clarinet player who basically just sits there and plays “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine” the entire time 😭

[@AngelicasRoblox2013]

My 10 year old watched your video made her laugh. I guess it was a Unforgettable moment for her that she now has joined her school band and changed her violin instrument for the sax!🎷♡

[@malaikanaomi1408]

So fun I also started with violin as my first instrument and started to play saxophone yesterday 😁

[@AngelicasRoblox2013]

Thats awesome ​@malaikanaomi1408

[@OfficialZS43]

I used to have a peer in band on alto that would play careless whisper every single second he got. Band director just stopped talking? Plays careless whisper, done with a song? plays careless whisper, you breath? plays careless whisper. idk if he was tryna rizz someone up, but I about took his sax a couple times lol

[@Dragons4568]

Omg same! Lol

[@Jakeham7446]

That might have been me. But I promise I am better now lol. That was just a phase.

[@unclemick-synths]

I was in a rock band where the guitarist was like that with Stairway To Heaven 🤮

[@RFingaz69]

Me in hs lmao

[@Ace_Collects]

The one who blames you when the band teacher hears a mistake 💀

[@whale9114]

I’m always the dude that has too much vibrato or too little vibrato 💀

[@meephaphan7691]

I can’t help it- when I first learned vibrato my teacher told me to just do it all of the time to get better at it and now I can’t even tell if I’m doing it or not 😭

[@srikarvajjhula6021]

This is why I play bari sax

[@memeperson69]

What’s the difference

[@Catdge]

its beeg, deep, and CHONK

[@memeperson69]

@@Catdge It IS CHONKKKKK

[@Nickmonster-kw6pg]

I do both.

[@nyoaeuikhoudu]

I play bari too!

[@cloogleflurmf6698]

I know two altos who are both the epitome of I can play careless whisper. Both good friends, but it gets a bit old.

[@AubreyWalter]

I’m SOO happy I don’t fall under. Any of these 🎷

[@DinoDom309]

Literally all of the kids besides me, as an alto player there is ALWAYS another kid who fits the first one . No matter WHAT.

“Never enough vibrato” is my favorite type of horn player.

[@KalashAnon]

Fly me to the moon always sounds good

[@carebearart]

Im learning the alto saxophone in band class, and I can’t hold it 😭😭

[@DandyT1990]

Been playing for 20 years (mostly in concert bands) Only ever played careless whisper last year 😅

[@Bardy414]

Then the Bari comes and scares the alto 😂

[@wildlightship]

Real (i am the bari)

[@lightyagami1058]

Me, who plays clarinet and has exhibited all of these behaviors;

[@patthesoundguy]

#2 always drove me crazy when I would play with a particular big band years ago with lots of older players.

[@TheSkitMaster420]

That careless whisper was clean tho😂

[@honey8ter]

Literally every sax player i know is the careless whisper lol

[@rlrihards948]

Abou dynamical type, I agree.. but there's the thing - those saxophonists that always complains about anything louder can't themselves play louder when they have to. That's usually the thing.

[@Caylee-kb9no]

There this one boy in my band class and he doesn’t even pay attention he’s always staring at me and beating his head on the saxophone 🎷

[@greengamer6868]

This accurately describes the Tenor Sax section better for the band I’m in

[@harwbie]

Fr

[@B1BBIe]

as a tenor sax player i can confirm this is true😅

[@Leviathan6696]

This is too relatable😭😭although I’m a tenor sax there’s this alto in front of me in band who is always trying to one-up me

[@sara_editzzz]

I swear the 3rd one is so real 😭 The kids in my jazz band cannot go a DAY without playing careless whisper 😭

[@Midnightfox7259]

Bro there is one kid in my band class that ALWAYS be playing careless whisper and I’m like “shut up 😭”

[@AaravShah-u6d]

I love how real this is.

[@Jaxycant]

Pov me a clarinet player who's just put their clarinet away after playing carless whisper for 30 minutes straight trying to perfect it to impress the saxophone players

[@Just_Jocie]

For real I feel you ❤😂

[@CrystalSkies25]

The Careless Whisper is TOO REAL

[@Dark87290]

I feel like theirs always one person that fills the category of number one almost no matter what.

[@illuminati1169]

In my 2 first years i thot that playing loud is a big thing in playing the saxophone but now i saw how stupid i was😂

[@christionward]

i WHAT

[@TytyGt_2]

Everyone hates it when all the sax players start playing careless whispers 💀 💀

[@emilysimons9574]

I’m not even in alto section, clarinet player, and I know if these. Our alto section was huge. The other type we had was I can play under the sea

[@BariSaxSupremacist]

As an alto, My section has at least of 2 of all these

[@BariSaxSupremacist]

I finally left the alto section and joined the tenors

[@BariSaxSupremacist]

Bari Sax BABY WOOOOO

[@kingblob17]

FLY ME TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOON

[@flashy0702]

Not me accurately dealing with these people exactly like you said

[@Thepoopooheadght]

Breath after every quarter note lol

[@lamp0cteis3]

That's so true there was a guy in my band class who played saxophone and literally played careless whisper EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

[@gamalielharris8066]

You forgot the “how many notes can I fit into one measure” solo guy🤣

[@music_man_145]

I'm all of those but I played bass clarinet. once I started playing tenor I just got worse. but never played alto. haha. the guitar and I just jam all the time he's a Jr & I'm a freshmen so it's was the coolest thing when I showed up haha

[@wildlightship]

The only time i will say im a bari sax player

[@PraptiAcharya]

And the saxophone that plays so loud even as a background

[@wildlightship]

That's me, the bari sax player that wants to shine 😅😂

[@theyluv_hails]

the only reason i know how to play Carless Whisper is cause one of my guy friends wanted to ask out their crush and asked me to play it if/when she said yes lmao 😂 proud sax moment ngl

[@JluvsLucas]

I strongly feel this as a tenor sax player😂😂😅

[@mahlonkapule7304]

I'm more like the first guy in each situation until careless whisper than I'm the last guy 😂

[@toxicenddragon]

I'm guilty of careless whisper... luckily, only once in a while.

[@Russilly]

Spoken from experience clearly...

[@iiam._.mia16]

Every time I take my sax out I feel like someone will come up and do that to me😂😭

[@rogersmagicalplace1221]

I fall in the third category but I play tenor saxophone

[@Darya_Manochehri2013]

omg! my best friend tina, she plays alto and i play tenor. i cannot tell you how much i have heard carless whisper...

[@Plane_Person]

my friend falls under "I can play careless whisper" 😭😭😭

[@SystemicMachine]

Every alto fits into one of these

[@herrpokemon9929]

Im the "i Play as quiet as i can so Nobody Hears me "😂

[@KittenLove536]

Now i'm so glad i didnt pick up the sax cause i would 100% be the "not enough vibrato" person and try to play Careless Whisper at the drop of a hat lmao 😂

[@lilli.flower]

Those are the tenors in my band 😂

[@theletteralpha]

i do all three but im not known for it, im known for being the reckless jazz improv guy

[@smoking_gun6366]

Welcome 😂

[@kimhuaubreymston7109]

You forgot the one who can't stop squeeking and the one who makes fun of you for when your cheeks puff out.

[@HenryTheSaxophonist]

As a tenor player, I understand the annoyment when altos play careless whisper, like, WE GET THAT YOU CAN PLAY THAT

[@SwiftlyEdits]

You forgot the “blasts as much as they can because they think they’re more important”

[@TheRedCatAnimator]

And this is why i decided to learn bari sax with flute

[@Crunchy_Cookies_123]

Im the one who just pretends to play because i cant read the notes yet 🥲💀

[@zThinquinox]

We have the trumpet equivelant of the I can play carless whisper for our band called the "I can play Narco" guy on trumpet (That guy is me ;)

[@JBIcanhandlethis]

There’s a sticker on my instrument case that says “do not ask me to play careless whisper”

[@RE-zf9yd]

As a trombonist, the only issue we face is the one guy thats always being too chaotic

[@kintorey1195]

Very good video! Hey, you could try playing the saxophone on the street, the videos on the street get a lot of views ^ _ ^ PD: Sorry for my English XD

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you!! Hmmm that could be fun!!

[@b.r.e.n.n]

You forgot the part where they “criticize you for how you play, even though you play a different instrument” 😭

Спасибо тебе огромное за такой мем, это так жизненно!

[@user-ob5dq6sq5y]

There is this one guy in my band class(highschool) he’s really good but he is literally all 3 of these of these stereotypes and everyone hates him because of how much he does these things

[@noone-ji7qz]

i join alto saxophone is because of careless whisper

[@BlingVr249]

In The first cut lil bro was playing a tenor Sax sneaky sneaky

[@unclemick-synths]

My sax tutor taught me to play "nanny goat" vibrato then told me that now I knew HOW to do it, I should NEVER do it 😂

[@NDeDrone]

I can't even play a Careless Whisper that good😂

[@fish6550]

You forgot constantly growling and bending lol

[@schneedledingus]

I've encountered all three of these kinds of players, and been all three of them before. I always knew about the concept of "serving the song" but it took me a lot longer to actually put it in practice. In the end its about saving the flashy stuff for a big moment, because that will make way more special!

[@CHRIS_bot2]

I have all three at my school except in just one person 💀

[@wildesage4172]

So I guess "jumps in and finishes whatever piece you're playing" is just a given! 😂

[@RobBob555]

Well, ive peen "playing" the clarinet for a few months, just bought an old Alto sax off ebay, and when it arrives, i Will be playing careless whisper...right after Baker street 🤷🤣 Love you videos Frankie 👏🎷
