man!....God bless you bro. you nailed that.

[@clydegilmore1452]

❤ Man you are on point! I don’t know why I am just hearing this!

[@Truelight0]

Masterful playing 💥🎷🙏🏽

[@MarcoZarco]

11:49 "So right in that spot right there. That's when you can take it to church!"

[@sbbolt]

Found your content while looking for some exercises for my son. Man, great stuff. I play guitar and was very inspired watching your videos. Love how you just play and come in briefly once in a while to talk about your approach. You don't over-explain things like technique and theory. The perfect balance. Way more inspirational to watch than spending 10 minutes listening about why these modes works with that chord. Gettin folks to just pick up their instruments and play!

[@geokaks1]

No words. Hats off to you Sir!

[@cleevealbert1318]

Off the cuff soulful phrasing, love it

[@jamesmagana315]

Wow great knowledge my friend thx. I'm gettn back into it again .after playing guitar

Awesome improvisation there. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that. Thanks for always being my source of inspiration.

[@QuamonFowler]

Haha, God bless ya Richard!

[@jonathanwightman]

Love your tone and love what you are doing here. You could have played that on Kirk Whalum's Hymns in the Garden album and I would have thought that was Kirk himself. God bless you brother, please keep ministering to others through your blessed talents.

[@AJH201129]

[@jjpatterson7844]

Wassup Q! Thanks for this vid man, hope all is well with you.✊🏽

[@QuamonFowler]

Wuttup! Yes, I'm grateful! God is faithful!

[@yvonnerideaux9918]

Hi first time subscriber-you play a nice version of Amazing Grace. I really do not care for bebop scales or music but you made it sound nice and it fit perfectly. At the beginning of your video I did not hear your name clearly or your website and it’s not posted anywhere on this platform. You very talented! So make sure everyone hear and see who you are and how they can check out your lessons? Thanks~

[@geokaks1]

From 7:20 - 9:30, the magic kicked in! Best solo rendition by miles!!!

[@vincentgaglio5106]

Awesome. Got me and this will sound bad, at least I think so! But without sheet music that would add in those grace notes and accents I would not know how to play, yes I can sing it with adding in the improvisation but however, can't find it on the Alto, can play be ear

[@QuamonFowler]

Get an app like, Anytune for IOS and you can slow down recordings to pick out the notes. You gotta do stuff like that to build up your ear.

[@user-mn5tm4lo8i]

хороший инструмент!

[@lilredvevo5126]

Can you put in notes to how to play that version of amazing grace

[@bluessax5089]

That double embouchure trips me out every time! I’m sure you use it because it makes you more expressive. How do you feel it helps?

[@brianreed7145]

I have to thank you for helping me see an old dog can learn some new tricks! Now back to playing dead!

[@QuamonFowler]

Haha, always something new to learn! It never ends!

[@joseeduardofranco8615]

Superb lesson. Thank you from Mozambique.

[@soloDioshacealhombrefeliz199]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I wish i could play that song the way you played it at first, I think you called that straight** simple. That sounded beautiful

[@OrlandoClark]

“I do it in Eb concert..... until I get bored” haha

[@Medicine1477]

What key are you playing for Alto?

[@Zamten]

[@fc1lyles]

Great lesson, great playing. Who's the manufacturer of your alto sax?

[@QuamonFowler]

That's an Ochres V6 Alto Sax. I endorse them and could get you a deal on one if interested.

[@mikebullock8196]
