[@w2tty]

Wow, whisper long tones will be fun to try.

[@ScottPaddock]

Fun and challenging!

[@luishcajiao368]

Mastering the low sound as you said, that is great.

[@andreascala4873]

You are so clear in your lessons. Thank you 🙏

[@patrickkelcey2435]

Proper warm-ups gradually bringing in all the right elements is great value...by the way...thanks a million man...having THE best time...😂

[@xrgiok]

Invaluable information Scott, I got completely different experience after practicing these things. Also I pulled mouthpiece a bit out and it’s drastically changed my perception of whole process.

[@pinkmendoza]

great instruction. I'm going to use this in my practice from now on.

[@freebirdofparadise]

Thank you sir! Im 2 years in on sax at my young age of 51. Im ready to go next level and make this sax saaaang. Thank you so much for these fundamentals. Id like the warm fat full sound. But that soft airy you demonstrated is niiice. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ScottPaddock]

Thank you so much

[@TrevorDimoff]

Scott, I love whispering long tones. Going to try it! I get air speed but I can’t visualize your air patterns. Tell me more 🎵

If you blink you loose 😂

Hey Scott. I just began to play sax and I was wandering whether I can make my sax whisper by using a soft (1.5) reed or do I need to move up and take a stiffer reed?

[@13bKalighat]

I have a feeling I'll be signing up!!! Thanks!!! But which mouthpiece with which opening do you play on this video? Sorry if you've already answered 1000 times... For my part, I play on a King 20 with several high quality mouthpieces. I spare you the list. Does the microphone magnify your sound? I find it beautiful. I don't speak English very well, which explains my naive questions... Thank you anyway for your commitment....

[@glen.s9860]

Hi Scott you always use these coloured mouthpiece. Have you ever try the Joddy Jazz pieces and if you have what do you think of them in sound and build quality ?

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey! I use a Barkley Brazil Kustom pop 7 blue. Yes, when I was trying mouthpieces a while back I tried several Jody Jazz mps, and I recently tried a DV hard rubber. Unfortunately, nothing I played was a good fit for me. Jody's mps are high quality, but I couldn't get the cut and projection I like out of them. The closest mp to the one I play now is a Theo Wanne blue ART durga. I was fighting between that one and my Barkley when I was trying them out about 8 years ago. For tenor I play a Syos Scott Paddock, which is by far the best fitting tenor mp I have ever played.

[@Ryan-yw5fp]

I would love a Ben Webster sound.

[@Rafael-nm7uz]

I'm studying sax for 3 years . I can't improve my tune in 1 millimeter.. I'm thinking to move to trumpet . I think you can't notice too much difference in tune as saxophone (my naive impression ). What do you guys opinion ?

[@user81922]

Hey! I tried the whisper soft long tones and my intonation really goes up when playing them. Why is that and what should I do to fix it??

[@dawitberhanu2820]

❤

[@solomann940]

🙏🏼💕

[@bobbo0708]

I'm striving for a soft, soulful noir sound on my tenor.

[@Anonymous-u8r8j]

Same. Dexter Gordon, Coleman Hawkins, Lester young.

[@ScottPaddock]

Check out Joe Henderson!

[@haroldlloyd8621]

Tenor?

[@jimcurrie]

Scott I’m trying to achieve for romantic saxophone sound. My fiancé loves saxophone music and I’m trying to get my sound as if I’m in a church with a romantic sound

[@nelsongonzalez450]

Church and romantic??? 😂

[@vitoralves9355]

Bueno seria si tubiera leyenda en castellano It would be nice if there were subtitles in Spanish, gracias

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

I had a pretty good tone on saxophone the very first time I picked one up, at age 15, in 1973. Your sound is your sound is your sound, and no amount of practice, mouthpiece, reed, etc. is going to alter that. Chick Corea said I had a great sound. Ravi said I sounded beautiful. Of course, I've played my Mark VI tenor itself over 70,000 hours since 1973....

[@coin777]

Its not your sound Its the mark iv

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

@@coin777 Me? I'm not playing mine in my videos.

[@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

and it's 6 not 4...

[@rich_malik]

You’re wrong

[@Zamten]

Whisper long notes... challengeaccepted

[@ScottPaddock]

They are game changers!!

[@Zamten]

@@ScottPaddock I had to put my headphones to max to hear the first example you did, i am self taught on the sax so I most definitely use this superpower 🤩

[@goodvibes4201]
