LICK HUNTING

Transcribing full solos has its perks... but dang sometimes I just wanna grab a lick and go. Let's do it!!!
(I apologize for my voice microphone's background noise. I couldn't get rid of it for the life of me. Literally as I was editing this, I was like: "Enough is enough. This Sony wireless mic ain't cuttin' it." Then I went on Amazon and impulse bought a real professional wireless mic setup. I am hype for it. It arrives this Saturday. My voice is about to be crisp af!!!!!)
Also, idk who is reading this but I think I am really about to get a Yamaha Custom EX! I'm freakin' hype! Not only that, I think the NEXUS altos are almost done! Chad sent me a video of him playing one and it sounded so freakin good. I need one now! Please!!!!!

[@ZackGrooves]

Nice job Nathan

[@Zodiakedits12221]

I LOVE YOUR VIDS

[@DavidGamero]

6:07 is what I have to say to this wonderful comment

[@Noio.]

@@DavidGamero ye that was impressively cool

[@Enderrock424]

Nice job *nathan*

[@Julialady6]

Nice muscles, and job, Zack XD

[@abedinsubashi]

5:57 “Opera singer”-ologic moment

[@EmanSax03]

it’s awesome how in the middle of the video you just turn into an outstanding opera singer

[@jasonrobinson5622]

Fax

[@MichaelCarswellMusic]

5:56 had me rolling holy shitt😭

[@orcaandrea]

You are the best, but from 5:57 on you just went God mode

[@DevoutChristianHunter]

Tbh I rlly like the echo, it sounds like jazz sax in the late night city streets

[@Tyler-df3xe]

Everybody gangsta until Nathan turns into an opera singer

[@AliTheAxolotl]

Man I haven’t watched you in a while, and I’m starting classes in a few weeks. I’m going to a high school that focuses more on music and those types of art forms. This whole summer I felt very uninspired to practice. Plus I got a new saxophone from the school that I’m not really comfortable with, but I practiced a few minutes before watching this video. Now that I’m watching you again it has inspired me a bit to practice and get back to my old habits. I haven’t been enjoying playing my instrument, but I feel like we’ve all had a point where we felt that. Now that I’m going to a new school that’s going to help me learn more about my instrument I hope I’ll be inspired to play my sax again. Watching you again is honestly helping me with that- so thank you- a lot.

[@Saxologic]

Love to hear it!

[@sorenfuhrer401]

It seems to be such a simple idea to just learn some licks and record it but it just goes to show that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. And the way you do that is just brilliant. Thanks for great content and inspiration!

[@Joeymuggz]

Bro this is the perfect amount of weird and entertaining. As a former jazz musician who has picked his sax back up to knock the dust off, this video inspires me to record the journey back to not sucking. Thanks for posting this dude!!

[@julianflores1772]

The way you get the licks is incredible, sometimes it takes me up to 30 minutes to get a lick.

[@shuekingyang8077]

Thank you for the wonderful app sir. I've been struggling to find a transcribing app but AudioStretch works very well for me. I also want to thank you for the jazz articulation video, it changed my life.

[@romanholder6556]

5:56-6:09 hit those headphone users with that Pavarotti

[@star_boy153]

For school and I plan on play the sax, I love watching your videos because well… I’m not sure I just love them! This channel is actually a big reason why I’m going to start learning! I guess I just want to say thank you for inspiring me!

[@leonardoalmeida1779]

Thank you again Nathan, inspiring as usual!

[@MrUrech]

I play a classical guitar but i love your channel for jazz licks. I can feel sure im not falling into guitar ruts and like a good teacher, your sense of humour makes it fun

[@el.rufito]

These videos bring me joy

[@sanjivkadhirvelu633]

My day gets better when Nathan uploads

[@jaxorgate]

My day gets worse when he doesn’t

[@reesebastings3423]

Glad to see more classical stuff. I prefer jazz and marching band type stuff but I also love classical saxophone

[@andysheng1109]

None of this was classical music tho

[@RickGrimes..]

Love he vid man! Love the idea of transcribing yourself like you said have a book of every time you like keep it up brother

[@simonfivez2947]

Love this video! I'm gonna learn them all right now (especially the Bruce Harris one, it's so killin'!)

[@steveweizman7888]

Awesome bro! Great work! Great personality and style!

[@JorisPosthumus]

I like the room sound man, I would not do to much on isolation. keep em comming, great vid

[@hopeclayburnsax9369]

Welcome to Memphis! So glad you and your brother are here and so glad we have crossed paths.

[@saxysen]

I see you’re back in your element. I love it man. Thanks!

[@aaroncammack5017]

love the vids by far my favorite saxtuber

[@dsyfderzweite]

Randomly starting to play a beat is my favorite feature of an electric piano. I'm glad you follow the universal law of dancing for at least three seconds before turning it off again. And I too hate when that happens.

[@Saxologic]

Hahahaha

[@RobertForejtekjazz]

Love your videos man!

[@Julialady6]

Oh my god now i see the reality. On the past the jazz standards was the man i love and lover man and the future is: love your videos man, or your TikToks go me so bad 🤣🤯

[@wxb200]

6:00 Man, you is crazy, my breh-dood.

[@DanielKJohanssonTrombone]

Love the idea of this series! I've only seen AudioStretch used for comic affect before. 😁

[@bunnytoothie]

You’re amazing Nathan! And have great sense of humour 😂😂 May I know what app you used to write all your transcriptions?

[@Saxologic]

GoodNotes!

[@sweetegg]

Cool idea!

[@Mike-rw2nh]

Lord knows, despite my being a guitar princess, I’ve learned so much from this channel. Question: would a harmonica (lowest note C4) be suitable for my True Pitch experiment? Thank you for the stellar content, good sir! 👍

[@margeredelicia1614]

I love your chaotic energy

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Dude, I love witnessing your process! It’s a lot like mine, but you get it faster.

[@gorfgarf9735]

[@W5MHG]

[@eillo3060]

[@Sue20022010]

Congrats on the DMA

[@vuje6890]

Thanks for your videos, man. Really inspiring. Loved the Dolphin Shoals ones. Classic! Quick question: did you download KZbin videos and upload to “audiosketch”.? If so, what app did u use?

[@Saxologic]

I screen recorded the videos into my camera roll and put it into audio stretch!

[@zakburford9553]

The operatic screaming at 6 mins demands a like

[@gustavoreuel]

5:55 LMAO XD DO MORE PLS

[@gant73]

[@MildleySaxySaxGuy]

[@EdgarByars]

[@acdgamer7292]

Quality video, I try to do the same with licks but man you've gotten fast at this so I gotta catch up

[@lonk638]

@Saxologic Are you going to do a video on this years tmea all state auditions

[@Gambiff]

Mom: Go play with the neighbor's kid The neighbor's kid: 5:56

[@Blackhawk-yx6oo]

Bro you are going to Memphis? Nice!!!! You planning on playing in the marching band?

[@saxolime984]

nexus is making an alto. it should be realieased end of this year

[@waffleman3625]

Bro how are you so good at identifying notes at fast speeds? It takes me like 20 minutes for two notes lol. Great video.

[@gungademon1185]

He's got a version of perfect pitch but it's not perfect pitch. Also, he has a wide vocabulary, so if he hears something, he can use his vocabulary to identify it. The simplest example would to be able to tell if something is chromatic or going up or down a scale diatonically.

[@ThomasSantosCanal1]

Idk about Nathan but what i do when i try to transcribe is listen carefully to find the key, then get the first notes and try to recognize familiar patterns and just work on that, then i try it out and if it feels weird or sounds off i change a bit mess with the basics of rhythm (like maybe it was a dotted quarter note or something that threw me off), I'm not as fast tho i only do it to practice listening is a good skill tbh

[@madhavraghu]

keep doing it a lot and u get faster

[@queensley9006]

Same here 😭. What he's doing looks like magic

[@jasonandrews9058]

I learn I laugh I love :)

[@bar8393gm]

Great stuff! What is that note taking software being used? I'm looking for pen enable ipad apps that have staff paper templates. Thx.

[@griffinpascual1377]

No way I live like an hour from Memphis

[@simonfivez2947]

5:56 heaven!

[@biwc-erie3618]

Insane….hilarious 😊

[@local_icy1063]

I live here when this happen...

[@Jonathanhsax]

There has to be about 10 licks from Brecker's Glyptotek concert alone. You should do some of those

[@lucasibrahim8770]

6:05 rip headphone users

[@brandonfu3753]

can't wait for the dr. logic jokes in a couple years :)

[@HahnJames]

Wow! That's all I can say right now just, Wow!

[@MichaIsraelKovler]

Good work man! Do you make enough of the endorsement to post the PDF for the links? for the lazy ones... The more free content, the better you make at the races...

[@Saxologic]

I can start posting them!

[@retylol1018]

Woah dude that is sick as a saxophone going to high school really close to Memphis it’s cool to think that the best saxophone KZbinr Is so close

[@shirleyfrancis4515]

Jazz brings out the best in the saxophone as it's really more expressive. Jazz gives the sax and players gheir individual and unique voices.

[@calebneese5869]

Hay Nathan I play the alto saxophone,could you provide the transcriptions that you made on that app? I would like to play what you are playing.

[@mogmason6920]

5:56 I take it that you’ll be auditioning for Broadway next!

[@sundayjams7399]

I was looking at your videos to find licks when I found this video…. How do you capture the initial video to get the sound for audio stretch?

[@noobnesz]

5:57 when the intrusive thoughts win over me

[@dwyanebrentson2837]

Nathan I need more saxophone stuff on your wall like more Coltrane. Sonny Rollins. I need plants in the background. You need to put up some led lights

[@ruez2kill]

I have neighbours too... don't know for how long now though

[@germangonzalez4347]

I love you

[@tylerlewis3348]

6:00 😂

[@vincentsantoro502]

What app were you using to write the transcription in?

[@NigelRable]

Will AudioStretch work with Spotify tunes or can you only use tunes coming from Apple Music?

[@jamestye]

I liked the opera moment after transcribing Sam greenfield. I’m assuming you’re in Memphis not for saxophone but for opera singing right?

[@Saxologic]

Absolutely!

[@coleclubb4942]

What app are you using to notate? Just bought a huge ass iPad for college and would think it’s helpful

[@itaylevin4555]

Hey great video! What app do you use to write down the licks?

[@Saxologic]

Goodnotes

[@tenbroekjazz]

What notes app do you use to write down the licks?

[@Saxologic]

GoodNotes

[@tnsalex2241]

[@fu4go]
