Ed Sheeran Perfect - Saxophone Cover by Nigel McGill

[@beckyn9338]

Nigel, this is gorgeous. You are such a solid player. We are fortunate you started Sax School and we can all learn from you. Good stuff.

[@zabellesax]

Beautiful rendition of this song, love it. I echo others, love Sax School, even though it does not seem like it, over the the 6 months I have been a member my skills have accelerated more than i ever would imagine. Thank you Nigel and your awsome team for the work you do and time and resources you provide for us.

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Thanks Zabelle! So great to hear that!!

[@MariMari-to3pm]

Maravilloso!

[@MariMari-to3pm]

Beautiful!

[@donniequinn3006]

Beautiful! I will have to play this for my 13 year old son. He sings that song and he is learning to play the sax. I'm sure he'll love it!

[@jnmkkmnj]

This shows what a great song played with a big sound can do. Beautiful!

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Thanks John

[@ohadashery]

Beautiful!

[@jimmyb1133]

I like your smooth and articulate style of playing ....

[@rn5193]

Fantastique Nigel. Quelle douceur et chaleur dans le son.

[@NigelCasey]

Fantastic! You make it sound easy and your tone is so sweet. Thanks for all your wonderful lessons in Sax School. There is so much to choose from and lots of great lessons for all levels from absolute beginners all the way through to advanced! Your Blues Mastery course has made such a huge difference to my impro but that's just my preferred style ... I've also been having a blast with your Funk tunes together with other sax school members who I now consder my friends despite the fact that we all live in different parts of the world (I've never ever seen such a happy and busy community of lovely people). Now I'm tempted to start working on something new ... Keep them coming!

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Great to hear that Nigel. I’m looking forward to seeing your new group project!

[@philipclarke3751]

stunning so relaxing and beautifully played

[@jerridedgington]

This is the next "fun" song I am going to work on. It's going to be the easy version because I'm not quite ready for the intermediate version they have on Tomplay. You play this so beautifully. Bravo!!!

Nicely played Nigel

[@davidmiller8665]

Magic. You played it so beautifully. I tried to play this without the help from Sax School and lost my way. So looking forward to seeing the lesson inside Sax School.

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Cheers Windy -the music is in there now, I’ll have to put a lesson together soon!

[@tabathaforbes6856]

Really great stuff. Was only driving near Framingham Castle last night listening to Ed Sheeran tracks. I’m learning this on Alto at the moment. 👍

[@rayowen8603]

Hi Nigel, What a lovely song ,you play it with awesome feel, love to learn that song, Have just bought an alto sax so i will be joining you in The Sax school Thanks Ray

[@martymonks2501]

[@tetyanashevchuk45]

Thank you! 👍

[@dspeelmanable]

Love this... ❤

[@bshoulder]

I am new to Sax School too, so I cannot wait for your lesson on this and many other pop songs. One suggestion I would have in future covers and lessons would be Michael Jackson's "Heal the World." The cover has been played by other artists and I really hope to hear your version, and also to learn how to play this beautiful song during a time like this. Thanks, Nigel!

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Great suggestion, thanks!

[@markeast186]

Great piece from Mr. Smooth himself

[@vincentgaglio5106]

Love it great melody . You are such a great player and teacher

[@turbotim40]

EXCELLENT

[@brucechamberlain5042]

love it

[@derekakien7379]

Great soulful playing Nigel. Next CD: SAX FOR THE BROKEN HEARTED. Only ever played one ES in a band - Thinking Out Loud - singer gave a great gravelly treatment to it.

[@jimmyb1133]

Really nice !

[@pupickovi]

Perfect as always Nigel, will you teach us how to play it in your saxschool?

[@wilfriedderidder3688]

This is so "Perfect", yes please Nigel, i hope you learn us this song in Saxschool !

[@tomtresco2952]

teach not learn, just saying

[@wilfriedderidder3688]

@@tomtresco2952 thx, 👍

[@rossharp9225]

Sounds fantastic and as a new member, just on the starter pathway, it would be fantastic to have this as something to aspire to learning!!

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Awesome. I’ll be adding a lesson on this soon Kevin.

[@vincentgaglio5106]

Love this melody for the Alto.

[@donnicholson3200]

Great tune for a wedding. Tastefully played. New mouthpiece?

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Cheers Don - no I’ve had this Theo Wanne Durga for a while but don’t often use it.

[@donnicholson3200]

@@McGillMusicSaxSchool Sounded great. I'm becoming a Wanne wannabe

[@scamphoney]

Great sound, very emotive playing. 🙂🙂

[@doraferjancic7805]

Fantastic!

[@andrewfranks935]

I love your videos there very inspiring to me to become a better player. It would be awesome to see more videos like this from you. Keep up the awesome content.

[@christophernewman4658]

Brilliant

[@tomespeland4045]

Amazing saxophone cover 🙏🙌 You inspire me to go cover it myself! Thanks 🎶 and I used to play alto saxophone 30 years ago... maybe I shall dust it off and get it out of its box 😂👍

[@mosessamuel9227]

Weldon boss more wins and grace

[@AndrewNorris1264]

Fantastic piece, very inspirational, hopefully a future lesson on sax school?

[@derekakien7379]

Two more funky sax soul ballads. 1) Cloudy Day - JJ Cale (Shades) 2) Infatuation - James Brown (Grits & Soul)

[@glen.s9860]

Another brill performance by you. Still smooth as ever. I see you are using the double lipping like Coltrane. I don't think you use an anchor tonguing, because i find it is more for someone who likes to play bright with a high baffle?

[@tkdscot1]

A song iv been working on for a while, oh to sound as good as you. Maybe 1 day

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

You’ll get there!

[@DeogratiusJrMichael]

damn... you impress me..! i was listening to saxophone music on you-tube so it was playing on the background and i didn't think it was you when i take a look.!

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Cheers!

[@tomasojeda4085]

it will be nice on alto sax also. But their will be higher notes out of the regular range of note on the alto sax . Beautiful for advance musicians .

[@SteveonSax]

Hope you include the chart and backing track for us in sax school. Great rendition.

[@suziesax]

where did you get your backing track from? lovely tone

[@adeleyemichael2159]

Nice one bro

[@dazzab4244]

WOW! Brilliant! Have you got recorded music Nigel? I would gladly pay for it to get the sound in my head. Fantastic inspiration!!

[@berniecawson6197]

Cool

[@giuseppesaggiorato596]

Very good I would like to have the score and the base where can I find it?

[@nicholajackson692]

Amazing, I’m new to your sax school and would love to learn songs like this eventually x

[@hughsmithau33]

Nichola Jackson yeah he’s sounding great!

[@tomtresco2952]

Where could I get this backing music from please ?

[@hrvojesoldo5006]

Hi Nigel, what is the mouthpiece you are playing this on?

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Hi. I’m using a Theo Wanne Durga size 8 mouthpiece on this video.

[@rreganjjohnn]

That is so very good my friend. it's a wonderful melody to play and listen to. and your tenor has such a wonderful tone. I shall do all I can to practice this song. where can I get a hold of the backing track? super job Nigel I loved it

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Thanks John. Actually I bought the track from www.karaoke-version.com. They are a great resource.

[@danielcohen9637]

Which model saxophone are you using? That one has a good sound.

[@paulcompton1399]

Did you find out what brand??

[@paulcompton1399]

What's the brand of tenor you're playing in this video?

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Hi Paul. I’m playing a 90’s Dave Guardala BlackNickel tenor. They don’t make them anymore. I’ve had it since new in 1993.

[@henryonyisi4626]

Please what key did you play this

[@AndrewNorris1264]

Is that in Bb major?

[@JohnFoxBass]

It is if you are playing a Tenor sax or other Bb instrument, yes.

[@Ope_Sax]

Wow I love this song but don't know the title.
