[@toddschefflin5703]

You are so welcome!

[@mfdsuk]

Your out of focus, but the plant behind you is in perfect focus.

[@cryptowalls]

lmao!! *Todd Schefflin* - posts a great instructional sax video * mfdsuk * - lands on this vlog and comments on camera focus and plants * me * - lands on this vlog and comments on the guy not commenting on the sax video but on camera focus and plants

[@carlobugeja3279]

[@michaeldean9338]

[@markkent6891]

[@espr7564]

How to play saxophone fast??? That's easy, practice lots. ☺

[@darnellkirkland784]

And practice slow

[@creepofreek4853]

Great lesson Todd. I have subscribed

[@procs64]

Thanks Todd, It's been a great help.

[@Redwane-Music]

thank you for the tip. question , what are those white thick strings you have around the saxophone for?

[@gort42069]

Hey I have a question and I’m a freshman in HS, whenever I play the mid D it will shoot up high if I slur to it but if I tongue to it it will play fine, I’m not sure if it is a problem with my embouchure or instrument

[@verasuomi4060]

hey so idk if you need this anymore but D is a really problematic note on the saxophone :D your embouchurr has a lot to do with it, but so does your instrument. the easiest way is propably to try to adjust your embouchure right :)

[@alphaO27]

how long have you been playing to play the 0:10 that fast ?

[@blizzard1329]

One month probably

[@idc_iamrebecca2105]

@@blizzard1329 nooooooo

[@verasuomi4060]

if you have played for many years, say 7-8, and have been practising your scales, you really don't need that much practise to get it to that speed. BUT not all of us have practised scales so propably long for those of us =D

[@gipstetz6720]

Thanks for posting. Very helpful. Much appreciated.

[@toddschefflin5703]

You are very welcome! New Videos every week!

[@DanielPerez-qr5kn]

Your vids are sooo helpful. Thank you!💯

[@etimfonsax9828]

Nice lecture

[@joce.chavez]

Thanks. The last exercise in minute 5. Which are notes please?

[@satukolehmainen2359]

Cool practice! in the second pattern starting from G# the Bb-B fingering you use I've never used it like that, can you tell more about it? In that context going from Bb-B I've always used the lowest side key for Bb instead of rolling it with the pearl keys like you do. For me thats very clumsy, how can I practice it ?

[@hincapiej4]

Years later you still sound like you. Hi from Juan from wpu.

[@mrwhodey502]

Thanks!!!

[@CloroxBleach-wu4zg]

flagged for saxual content

[@slyuzi3627]

Clorox Bleach im going to drink you because of this comment

[@MrPingu-kr7zl]

True.

[@kitayuan9842]

your fucking everywhere wtf

[@memesamuel3744]

You shimoneta season 2 IT ALL MAKES SENSE

[@michael6291]

It would make more sense to have the camera positioned to show you fingering as opposed to watching your face while blowing the horn

[@15matisse]

thanks great news about the mouth piece i always struggle with this...

[@DrinkCola]

how much it takes to play fast ?!!!!

[@selmer1971]

What’s up with the rubber bands?

[@jayben7769]

Sir pls learn altismo notes

[@SnivesSkateRats]

front Bb or side Bb?

[@toddschefflin5703]

Whatever you feel most comfortable with! Keep practicing!

[@alaynajenkins9585]

Huckle Berry both

[@coachwillridley1374]

Kool

[@lgovantes1]

Good tips, however, a chromatic scale (although valuable) is really the same, you just start in a different place. I get more value from playing Major, minor, and pentatonic scales.

[@beefy6332]

how do i tongue faster though?

[@benjaminmarks8765]

Double tongue. Yes, it is possible on sax, but uncommon.

[@barkinsimsekmusic]

2:55 Well that's boring i came here for a secret recipe...

[@AzoresMonica]

It would be helpful if you showed us the actual keys on the sax in the video. You've got your fingers cut off on the screen...

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

What I don't get about your idea of finger position is that Bird played with the very tip of his fingers on the keypearls and on top of that every sax teacher tells you not to have straight fingers while playing. At the same time though, it makes a lot of sense.

[@jayben7769]

pls show keys

[@Lc-rn4nw]

Need some help man I'm in maching band

[@KIKAALEGRIA]

♥

[@rajaonarivonyroland91]

Francais svp

[@stephenpower1]

I'm puzzled as to why you're talking about concert pitch. Wouldn't it just be easier to say which note *on the saxophone* you are starting with?

[@CouraTheExplora]

so that tenor and alto players can just play relative to that?

[@vampiresquid]

That doesn't make any sense. The exercises start on G and D, whether for alto or tenor. They translate into different things in concert pitch, but it's not necessary or helpful for the exercise to note that, unless he's just trying to sneak in a lesson on concert transposition.

[@srikugan4526]

Cuz idk

[@apehemmanuel5962]

Show the key you are playing

[@davidsherrington59]

Great advice but please try to focus the camera on you and not the wall. Great videos though, very informative

[@cassandrajenkins2528]

I can't see your fingers

[@cassandrajenkins2528]

I'm a beginner

[@sebastianfolloni4051]

Would be better if the camera show the saxo ..is a lot of space wasted up there

[@john-salvatorereppucci1433]

WE CAN'T SEE YOUR FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chinchillaconverse7312]

i came here to learn sixteenth notes fast 😒

[@서정옥-p6g]

Suprise,.,~~^^

[@amitavsanyal6762]

You know it would be helpful if you did not blur out and hide your Sax, so that we could see what you played. Also please stop calling everyone the better musicians they "Wannabe" in every video of yours. Cheers.
