#02 Saxophone Technic : Sound - Overtones

[@susanhawthorne]

I wish I had found this a long time ago. I am so thankful someone has finally explained overtones to me in a way that helps me achieve success with them instead of endless struggling. It is a relief! Thank you, and God bless you for sharing with others!

[@KolbyML]

Damn dude, you are amazing. You are explaining how to practice overtones more in-depth than I have ever heard in my life. Your ability on the saxophone is truly breath taking

[@PierreVeniot]

You have perfect control of the instrument.

[@remi.bolduc]

Thanks. I does seem like it .. After take 25 !! lol

[@PierreVeniot]

Well, you love the instrument a lot, it really shows...

[@remi.bolduc]

I did practice quite a few hours in my life yes. I like playing the sax everyday !

[@PierreVeniot]

I can hear you... btw I will do a video for flute also... kind of the same thing. All my flute students know about harmonics, it's one of the first thing I teach them, it really improves their sound... you can play many notes with the same fingering!

[@andresdelafuente3783]

Si perfecto! . Es lo primero que enseño a mis alumnos también Pierre!.. Armónicos. Es tedioso pero voy inventando adornos para que no se haga aburrido. Dan buenos resultados para el futuro inmediato. Por cierto Remi Bolduc, lo explica muy bien. Le mando un saludo desde mi estudio, del barrio de San Nicolás, Buenos Aires.. Siempre vamos para adelante en el mundo de la música. Sucesso!

That overtone flex>>>>>

[@saxoflautaful]

Super !!! Some thing realy diferent

[@remi.bolduc]

Sorry about the out of focus camera.. The auto focus was on, I guess. I am better at playing the horn :-)

[@jeffreyrainey1015]

Sincerely, thank you for making this video. You're a great teacher, because you can clearly describe something that is very hard to describe. Oral exercises are like the harsh truths or fine print that aren't apparent when just watching or listening to someone play, and you've retained how you thought and felt when experimenting. I'm still working on the second range, and the transition from high A to low D is so hard at first. :)

Incroyable controle et connaissance!!

[@josealarcon1599]

You are awesome ... Fantástico...

[@OwntoneFilm]

Can’t thank you enough for this lesson!!! So helpful!

[@remi.bolduc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DeMariThompson]

I thought the thumbnail was Wayne bergeron playing alto sax. Great video even still 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@remi.bolduc]

I heard that we look a bit alike.

[@DeMariThompson]

@@remi.bolduc oh definitely. Especially on the thumbnail🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thomaskipfer1008]

I can see your technique in my head. I can’t practice much now (busy season) but the technical support is very needed. My sax teacher taught incubation. Muse on the info in your head, when you play, the info is back in full force. Great video! My teacher in college never taught overtones. A terrible mistake! Tom Kipfer

[@joeadamsactor]

Awesome video Remi! I am a piano player learning sax later in life. You've cleared up a lot in my mind. I appreciate your hard work!

[@lucethier6093]

Bonjour Remi. Magnigique video! Merci!

[@andrewblad857]

Thank you for the great video!

[@andrewblad857]

I think the best thing I learned from this video is to just blow air then control the beginning of the note.. yes!

[@zoaltamam]

How come this video is under-watched? This is the BEST video I've seen on overtones so far. I hope you have a video on altissimo challenges! I am learning on tenor, been a couple of months now. I can play fairly well, not great with overtones yet, but I have serious issues getting the altissimo G! Tried all the tricks but nothing is working for me. I am beginning to believe that I am just not ready for it! :(

[@enriqueernesto738]

This is fantastic ! I'm just working on on some Michael Brecker licks and this is exactly what I was looking for

[@pannytrishcloud6615]

Sounds like the claranette. 🎺🎶

[@johnpiettro4644]

Man, you play trumpet on saxophone! I bet you would become a great trumpet player with your overtone abilities.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Excelentissimo!

[@Jazzmarcel]

Very good information!......

[@jujusaxoworld]

Super pour bosser les overtones validation decParis😎🤠🤓

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

Great video! Really gotta work on the way I use my tongue and oral cavity. One question though: Aren't the high notes supposed to be really loud and big and the low notes less focused and more quiet? At least that's what I always thought sounded the prettiest.

[@remi.bolduc]

That's really up to you. That's what will make you sound unique. Play what sounds the best to your ear and get better at being consistent. The beauty of it is that everyone has their personal approach.

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

Remi Bolduc Thank you. Great insight there. I'm really enjoying your transcriptions. If you should make some more videos on how to play and how to practice the saxophone in the future, I'd really appreciate benefiting from your skills and knowledge.

[@zubeirshaikhsaxophoneplaye3383]

Amazing sir

[@korelly]

sur mon vieux sax alto qui n'a pas la clef de fa# aigu, les notes très aigües sortent très difficilement. Est-ce que ça pourrait être dû à des fuites d'air dans des clapets qui ferment mal? Ou que je ne souffle pas assez fort dans l'anche?

[@remi.bolduc]

En généralles fuites d'air vont plus affecté le grave du sax. C'est toujours possible. Également, il y a plusieurs doigtée de possible. Certain sont plus facile.

[@Itchy_Scab]

Arnold Schwarzenegger of sax

[@jamesnicholmurallon1258]

What the !!!!! I can only play three notes on overtones !!!

[@remi.bolduc]

Jnicx Lando it takes time. But it does help your playing
