It was a tenor they used on the recording not an alto…

[@up_down6012]

The majority of the song is played with tenor but the iconic hook is alto

That's the most in-tune C# (Without octave key) I've heard

[@brucethomas8892]

That’s with octave key

[@AlexGee-bv7iy]

Thank you My Fifth grade music teacher said we will not be learning this. But this video help me so much I was able to write it down and played in a couple of tries. ❤️

[@Manemadeofhockey]

Thank I was trying to find the fingerings

[@nagual2335]

Wrong! The original was played on a Tenor by Steve Gregory! It was recorded on a tape machine slowed down by one semitone, and later was sped back up [one semitone] (therefore it may sound like an Alto, but it's a tenor)

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Didn’t know that, thanks for pointing it out!

[@SaxophoneLesson]

Correct

You're welcome Bill!

Bro you meant it thank you

[@Chicken_wing420]

How do you play the 2nd to last E on a alto sax? (Sorry I’m having trouble figuring it out)

[@aidanillg6617]

Just like low E but with octave key just make sure your embouchure is correct

[@Chicken_wing420]

Oh my gosh thank you your a life saver 😭

[@Elias_edits1]

Do you hold the octave key all the time

[@MeccaVideoPro]

It was actually recorded on Tenor, the track was slowed down a halfstep to allow for easier fingering. Then it was sped back up which is why the sax sounds kind of in between a tenor and an alto.

[@JazzyTacos]

It wasn’t bro, you don’t know saxophones

[@MeccaVideoPro]

@@JazzyTacos Now that's funny. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqe4e4iwg9Z3l6ssi=HHtNE6asifBcaLXf

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

@meccavideopro Thanks for the comment - didn’t know that about the recording but I can hear it now!

[@a1saxy]

@@SaxophoneMasterclasscheck out Dan Forshaw’s KZbin sax channel. He tells the story in detail about the recording on Tenor done by session player Steve Gregory, why he slowed the tape down to record it in the key that allowed him to do the glissando which he couldn’t do in the original key and also what George Michael said about the recording. I think Steve was about the 8th saxophonist to try out.

[@SaxophoneLesson]

Dude.....review tonalities. The tune is not in DMajor...IT'S MINOR! B MINOR on alto sax (which is D minor concert key)

[@kristinelkasmi7368]

[@zacharywinn7787]

Could you do it for tenor

[@playboicartino1fan]

[@denominator208]

Correction: That's not D-major, but it's relative minor, B-minor!

[@littleykyk]

Me trying to find why my g# sharp key isn’t working and finding this

[@gandalf3453]

A lot of people are saying it’s a tenor. Not in the recording guys. It’s an alto sax. But it sounds super good on the tenor as well and that was always the sax he used at live concerts.

[@Netherdog7058]

middle school saxaphone players genuinley struggle not to play careless wisper

[@Avoca-dude]

This didn't work for my also sax

[@Pedrorocks1092]

Just learn it by ear

[@gaunigauni84]

You just learn how to read music score. And you can play most of music/song. Of course, to get good sound, you need practice.
