INSANE DAVID SANBORN ALTISSIMO LICKS & TRICKS (# 3 is mind blowing)

[@OscarFranco74]

It was insane how easy you were able to break down this lick. Thank you for letting us appreciate all that was involved in his expression of this tune.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Oscar! What’s funny, was when I started listening to it, I realized how much stuff I had stolen from him over the years 🤣😂🤣

[@fredflintstone1428]

That's some playing man! To breakdown Sanborn's playing like that and reproduce it is incredible. Many thanks.

[@joekappes8648]

Awesome lesson. Breakdown Eric Marienthal!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, that would be a good one.

[@michaelszlachta1194]

Scott- you’re crushing it!! You keep giving the best sax lessons on the internet. Very special THANK YOU! Sanborn inspired me to play the sax with his song The Dream when it first aired on the Letterman Late Show. You have a very special gift of teaching- simply amazing 🙏

[@ScottPaddock]

Thank you so much! I remember that tune, but it’s been a long time since I’ve heard it. I’ll have to look it up again. The one that got me was Since I Fell for you on the Bob James Double Vision album.

[@michaelszlachta1194]

Sanborn s version of Georgia on my mind is killer too. I met Sanborn several times in Glenside Pa just out side Philly at the Keswick theater. After the show I would talk to Ricky Peterson (always smoking outside😉)in the back of the theater where they load the tour bus. Sanborn was so cool he autographed all my CD’s etc.. super nice guy, very humble.

[@ScottPaddock]

@@michaelszlachta1194 I don't think I've heard him play Georgia before. I've seen him live 3 or 4 times, but the last time was at least 15 years ago. Next time he's in town, I'll have to check him out again.

[@michaelszlachta1194]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYK6pX57rt-kaqc this is Sanborn’s session Georgia On My Mind. With Joey’s passing last week- makes it a little more sentimental. Heaven got one of jazz’s best,

[@michaelszlachta1194]

Can you please breakdown some of Leo P’s stuff on Bari? That would be a cool exercise for sure

[@davesaxoligist]

Scott your altissimo is just incredible. I can't play that high yet I can occasionally get out a G but I can play high F#.Sanborn is the reason I started playing his tone and unmistakable split tones are out of this world. Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge to help students of any age

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Dave! Congrats on getting the G. With altissimo, usually after you get that first note it becomes pretty easy to add one note at a time. Yeah, Sanborn had a huge impact on me as well.

[@skaraborgbigband]

Scott you are a great saxophoneplayer and thats the reason you can brake down these amazing parts of Sanboens jewels. When I tried myself I boken down!!

[@alexandermelton8066]

Gerald Albright’s “Georgia” from Live at Birdland. At 2:39 and 7:35, what is he doing to get his high F to sound like that? It’s such a cool effect that he uses often.

[@ScottPaddock]

I actually already did a video on it. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2OQandvqKeeatE

Thank you Scott for your help You consistently send good teachings and your postings are always welcome and reliable Please continue!Andrew

Thanks Paul!

Thank you Scott! Great stuff and very inspiring to see the control you have. Keep them coming!

[@hmoore76]

Scott, you are an amazing teacher and player! A rare skill set and calling. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks so much, Harold! I really appreciate it.

[@DovidSal]

Absolutely.. thank you Scott. First of all , Mr D Sanborn , the best and big-time above of many instrumentalists, who has carried a message when he plays , a indelible mark of a great musician. Second, you got me back into the school to continue learning, playing and enjoying... music.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks David, and welcome back! 😁😁

[@FunkOsax]

Thanks for that, Scott. Excellent explanation and demonstration

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks David!

[@enriqueernesto738]

Killer job ! Thank you for this amazing breakdown .

[@Kride-1954]

this is great,scott. you sound great.K

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Keith!

[@saxshooter]

Great stuff Scott. Thank you.

[@wyndhl8309]

Excellent breakdown, as usual... Your altissimos during the tutorial are super 👌 clear, bright and accurate. Dave's the man; his early influence with the altissimos was said to have been that of King Curtis and, to a lesser extent, Junior Walker, Jr. Scott, at your convenience, I will appreciate a breakdown on Junior Walker's "HOT CHA" - the altissimos, how he was able to climb, placing each *altissimo in melodic context, as well as during his improvisation. (*That was on tenor saxophone; I assume the technique on alto sax may be a little different - just maybe) Keep educating, inspiring and motivating us all! Thanks, champion.

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, Sanborn was definitely into the R&B classics!

[@benoittissier58]

Super interesting break down, thanks Scott !

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks!!

[@stefanie.4571]

This is simply WOW!! Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ScottPaddock]

[@TerryAndHerSax]

Wow, Scott! As usual, this is a really brilliant breakdown. Very informative with fantastic tips along the way. Thank you!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thank you Terry! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tyronesettles8128]

I have to say that you are awesome on the sax. I love your KZbin studies.

Great work Scott

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Tony! Hope the sax is treating you well.

[@j.shannon2406]

Scott thank you for your excellent videos 🙏. You asked if we would like you to breakdown a sax player for a future video. Would you please consider Mindi Abair song Summertime that she did live at The Canyon Club in 2011. Around the 2:55 mark and for the next minute she does some really beautiful work and also at 9 sec - 10 sec mark at the beginning of the song. Thank you for time and consideration. Keep up the Great Work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikek3818]

Breakdown Phil Woods!

[@walterlee2439]

Your an amazing teacher. Been working on my altissimo notes this year. So far I have hit A2 all the way up to D4. The challenge now for me now is on the fluidity of playing the notes consecutively clean or jumping from one note to the other in terms of licks and phrases and in solos. Sanborn too was my inspiration to take up the saxophone. He's rendition of "You are everything" and fills and expressions in Randy Crawford's "Knocking on heavens door" is the class soul and smooth! I love the way you do the breakdown of the solo. Awesome stuff! Have a question on those scoops up and down. How do we get them so clean? Also can you do a break down on Sanborns split tones he usually creates?

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Walter - thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I'm a huge David Sanborn fan as well. Those split tones are actually pretty easy, just growl when you are doing an altissimo note and it will turn into a split tone. I did a tutorial on - just search split tone on my channel

[@walterlee2439]

@@ScottPaddock Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@derycktaylor3677]

Great video. Please breakdown some Gerald Albright.

Hi Scott, unfortunately I don't know the English language well, please when you publish the video selection in “language” “English” so the translations in the various languages ​​will appear on the video, thanks. You are great !!!

[@Thorstevens1]

Breakdown another Scott……Tom Scott. He’s pretty adapt at altissimo. Is that the Hercules tall stand you have behind you? If so, what do you think of that stand?

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Thor! Yeah, Tom Scott would be awesome he has sooooooooooo many iconic recordings to choose from. Yeah, I have 2 of those tall stands. They are great! Very secure, they fit alto, tenor, and C melody. However, they are really heavy so you wouldn't want to cart them around that much, but they are perfect for setting up in your house/practice space.

[@raseshgandhi6702]

I'm rasesh from India I leaned Alto saxophone during corona You amazing for every time information I can play all scale.at the age of 60

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Rasesh! Congrats on being able to play your scales. Lots of adult sax players are starting in their 60s now. It’s great to see the community grow!!

[@robertzantay5923]

I know the altissimo fingerings up to high “C” could you show the fingerings above that? All the fingering charts I have seen for alto go up to “C”

[@johnyoungquist6540]

Excellent vid

[@ScottPaddock]

Thank you!

[@Caglarsax]

Hi I noticed David is holding the sax in a different angle also there’s a nearly 35 degree angle with the mouthpiece.i think his top teeth is on the edge of the mouthpiece and blows to the upper side of the mouthpiece.what do you think?i am not expert but just an observation.thanks for the great video ❤

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, he definitely has a different angle, and a lot of sax players in the 80s / 90s copied it. I remember reading a long time ago that it was because of a medical condition, but I can't remember what it was.

[@bill3837]

Thank you!!! I'll add him to the list.

[@NickWebbSax]

Another alto player who's altissimo is amazing is Gerald Albright. I'd love to hear some breakdowns of his licks! Another great video Scott

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, a lot of people have asked for Gerald Albright in the comments. I'll put him on the list!

[@ketong71]

Great video. I got a question, when growling on the altissimo g and/or a, do you try to do a split tone by overblowing or do you just hum up there?

[@ScottPaddock]

A split tone is basically a growl in the altissimo. The notes are so much closer together up there, that you can hear the pitch of the notes fighting more clearly. I did a video about growling and split tones, check it out. It breaks down exactly how to do it. But the short answer is that it is more of a hum.

[@c-LAW]

I thought it was cool to learn Dave Sanborns licks on guitar back in the 90's. It wasn't easy.

[@bksmith82]

Great lesson! What mics are you using?

[@ScottPaddock]

I’m using a beta 98h clip on mic

[@davidclaro152]

What sax are you playing on? That looks and sounds cool.

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey David, I play a P. Mauriat 67 RX influence alto

[@davidclaro152]

@@ScottPaddock No wonder it looks and sounds great. I tried one at a music store once. Man, did it handle great. The ergonomics on the keys were excellent. That was shortly before I got my Selmer Reference.

Hey Rob! Maceo and Brecker are already on the list, but Johnny Hodges would also be a fun exercise to do, especially since my style is so far away from his.

I wish I had somewhere to practice altissimo without being self conscious. I can hit G to A and then that's it really. Never get a chance to work on it
