I love how you use your embouchure to make the scoop on the B around 3:21!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks!

[@cheknfaks]

Jamie thank you very much for explaining where 'Baker Street' originated from I did not know. This really is an exciting most excellent way to learn and you are right in 3 mins as I have improved enough(embouchure and tonguing techniques in 2 yrs) to have been able to play most of all it before the video had ended so it was fairly easy & be it as it may, I have achieved just from this video alone. Thank you again for another great lesson! Love ya!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnmcneill1066]

Hi Jamie I am playing sax at my grandsons wedding and Baker Street is one of my choices (I'm even singing the song as well). I never could finish it properly but now thanks to you it's in the bag. Many thanks. PS how many people get married and have their granddad playing sax at their wedding? I'm a bag of nerves but it will hopefully be OK and something he will never forget. Many thanks again top man and please keep up the fantastic work. Much respect

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

What a great story! Hope it goes well!

[@magmaquarta6205]

Thanks! I had searched tons of videos and couldn’t find one that I could understand, but yours is really easy to understand. Nice 👍

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Magma Quarta - brilliant! Glad you enjoyed it. I try to make these hall of fame things the most accurate, and easy to follow on the internet. Spread the word and check out the other vids too! Don’t forget to subscribe etc!

[@magmaquarta6205]

Hey also, could you make a video teaching on how to play altissimo notes, because I just can’t seem to get them out except for the altissimo D

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@magmaquarta6205 - Yeh, it's actually not straight forward getting high notes on sax as a lot of spade work has to go in first to get a great foundation. I'm doing a video soon on an overtones warm up that will help you though, and I'll certainly add that topic to my list! Thanks.

[@firehandszarb]

ok i'm back after a year, now able to follow this tutorial. Absolute sheer joy! Thanks again.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Brilliant!

[@natanelsolomonov9251]

Frickin awesome. This was the first tune I ever learned to play. My poor mom downstairs listening to it over and over and over and over lol.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

BattleKAT Sax - Kaden Andrew Thompson - awesome! Glad you’re lovin’ it. That’s why I do this content, for people like you to love it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@YannsKitchenUK]

Get Your Sax Together always welcome brother. Hope ur feeling better. We have the advantage of super lungs. Can’t help but think this helps a little with this crappy virus thing.

[@U2ROPA]

Another great video Jamie well presented and again as a non music reader I can at least understand which notes to press. Cheer's and enjoy your coffees. Dougie

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much for the coffee Dougie! Much appreciated. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)

[@GregsBassShed]

Nice lesson on a classic!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

cheers matey!

[@kingzephyr9897]

Thanks Jamie, I haved the horn part on this for years, can't wait to print it out and try it. Once I figure out where the high G is on my tenor I might even try that.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're welcome! High G on tenor is front F key and side Bb. Go here to get my altissimo PDF which has all the fingerings www.getyoursaxtogether.com/altissimo

Sektor Paes - thanks! 👍🏻

[@danielengelhardt7453]

Love the video and downloaded the sheet music, but it doesn't include the fingering is there a way to get it in fingering format? Also I have seen sheet music with the notes printed in the note itself is there a name for that kind of easy to read sheet music?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Try piecing together the fingerings and writing them in on your music with this free fingering chart… www.getyoursaxtogether.com/fingerchart

Wow, thanks!

Great video , I’m gonna give this a go 👍👍

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything I can do for you. J:-)

[@ilovecoltrane4565]

Hey Jamie - How about you do a Top Twenty of famous, iconic pop sax solos by former members of NYJO (National Youth Jazz Orchestra)? After all, having been in existence for more than 50 years, there must be loads of standout performances to choose from?....... and I'm sure that Bill Ashton will supply you with any extra info that you might require? Great channel by the way!! 🙂

[@ilovecoltrane4565]

Ok - how about a Top Ten then - if that makes it easier for you? 😉

[@ilovecoltrane4565]

Top Five?!! 😉

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Now there's a concept! Nigel Hitchcock has certainly done a few beauties. And there's Chris Hunter. And the list goes on really.

[@ilovecoltrane4565]

@@GetYourSaxTogether - sorry I don't know those names..........can you help out with some song titles of big hits that they have played solos on? That would be very helpful Jamie? Many thanks. 🙂 ps. great work on your channel!!

[@ilovecoltrane4565]

@@GetYourSaxTogether - Jamie - congratulations on some really helpful advice on your video posts! Re. NYJO saxophone alumni - I mean big hit records, with sax solos, that the public are familiar with e.g. Baker Street, Careless Whisper, Just The Way You Are, Will You, I Will Always Love You, Saving All My Love For You, Brown Sugar, Lets Stick Together, Pick Up The Pieces, Respect (Aretha Franklin), Jazzman (Carol King), Listen To What The Man Said, Love And Affection and so on?! After 55 years - NYJO sax players must be on loads of hits like these surely? Can you help with a list Jamie? 🙂

[@russells2006]

Love it mate! Looking forward to more of these tutorials :) Would love you to show us the solo played in After The Love Is Gone (EWF)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks Russell! That's weird, somebody else just asked for that tune as well. It's on my list, don't worry. J:-)

Half a heart... It sounds very similar to me. Lots of inspiration in that song Lol...

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I know right?

[@D-Mente13]

Thanks for this

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

My pleasure!

[@shloms6862]

I was hoping to see notes for Tenor as well. Anyway great video!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Shlomi Maman - yeh, it’s pretty hard on tenor, but if you go to the description you can click the link to get the PDF with the tenor music. 👍🏻

[@TrumpetTNT]

Great content!! BTW It's Raf Ravenscroft (short for Raphael)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks!

[@lisawanderess]

Does the PDF have the tenor version on it? Noticed you didn’t include tenor notes in this video....?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh, as far as I know, every PDF I've ever done has got Bb and Eb parts. It was one of my first vids, and tbh, it's pretty hard on tenor cos of the range - loads of top Gs which sound kinda duff anyway. But yeh, get the PDF!

[@warrengauthier4699]

Can you cover Pledge Pin?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Got a link I could check out? Is it a sax line? J:-)

[@warrengauthier4699]

@@GetYourSaxTogether : It has one of the best sax solos ever. It was done by the guy that did Baker Street. Just look up Pledge Pin by Robert Plant. You can thank me later:)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Warren Gauthier - I’ll put it on my list!

[@williamduffy-e9u]

This is about Baker Street Glasgow where Gerry rafferty lived

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow. I did not know that. What an idiot. Thanks for the correction. 😬

[@caineciampoli4467]

would this still sound good on tenor?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

werty kkkok - sure it would sound good on tenor, but you need a solid top G and F#. Go for it! 🤛🏻

[@nickdanna5078]

Awesome! But, why not include the backing tracks at the end when you run through all of it? I think by doing this, you're showing the viewers/learners how and where the solo fits in and why the phrasing is so crucial.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Nick Danna - I never really thought about it at the time I suppose. I did that with the Cagney & Lacey video mind you. Too late to redo the video now. I have got the backing track somewhere. Maybe I’ll make it available to members when The tome is right to sort out my membership site. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@nickdanna5078]

@@GetYourSaxTogether Sure! I appreciate the response! I didn't realize the date on the video, my apologies!

[@melb5996]

I thought he said it was sharp? 🙂

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Mel B - not sure what you mean? Can you explain? 🙂

[@melb5996]

Sorry Jammie I was commenting on Raphael saying he thought the recording was 'flat' . I once read that he thought it was 'sharp' 👍

[@danielwagner3472]

Nice video but it's Gerry not Jerry :)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Daniel Wagner - god! Typos! I’ll sort it out. Thanks for letting me know 👍🏻

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I've corrected all the Jerry's to Gerry's, I think!! Apologies and thanks for the heads up!
