SWEET CHILD O’ MINE - ON SAX! (incl Slash solo)

[@edwardrochester6523]

So good! He even added the muted rythmic strums Slash did on "where do we go" at 4:43! Perfect! When most sax players who swear by Charlie Parker probably wouldn't pay attention to a guitar solo in a rock song, it goes to show Jazz lovers the musicianship of Slash as a composer.

[@brendanloy6564]

Clicked on this after seeing your Hotel California video. I am completely blown away by your craftsmanship. This once again is unbelievable Sax playing, not to mention everything else you do here. Hats off to you mate.

[@chrisgable1]

Wow, thank you! I always felt this particular video deserved a few more hits... but it appears to only be impressive to other sax players...!!

[@juleshidalgo5374]

This cover is excellent, played the song especially the solo more accurate than guitar covers I’ve seen here in KZbin.

[@MintBullet]

New fan - this is really awesome. somehow the solos sound better on sax than on guitar :O please make more full length sax covers like this.

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks for the kind words and the sub! More on the way.

[@Joel-ud3yj]

@@chrisgable1 do you have the transcription of the solo?

[@Axelotl17]

This sax solo be giving me chills I wanna be able to play that

[@looperkingjensen7022]

I got to say that the dual-screen solo thing is simply genius. It also sounds epic!

[@chrisgable1]

Very handy having a photographer for a wife - we've got a LOT of cameras in the house

[@ShekharKaranje]

WHOA!!!! This dude is simply awesome - amazing. His saxo skills blew my mind...slash would be jealous. The entire crew of GnR would be extremely envious of him and his skills. Way to go man. Continue to excel and progress, do more such videos and share. Surely you will be right on top in no time at all...All the very best @Chris Gable.

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks for the kind words, very much appreciated! I've got a ton of videos planned so please subscribe (if you haven't already) and keep an eye out for new stuff.

[@kentran212]

This is just amazing! I'm so blown away by your performance. I don't know what is wrong with KZbin's algorithm, this video deserves million views!

[@henriqueguirraoficial]

Cara melhor versão do KZbin 👏🎷

[@juancarlosale912]

simplemente maravilloso, espectacular, excelente

[@whitey129]

Just dawned on me that this solo would sound awesome on Sax, so I youtubed it, and you did not disappoint. 🙏

[@ijskonijn21]

I can't put into words how much I enjoy this masterpiece! Same as you I'm a huge fan of guitar music but instead play the sax ;) It was always my dream to play my favourite guitar solos, but never sure if it could come out right on the sax. This is such an inspiration, thank you!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I was really proud of this one, and am still frustrated it's got so few views... but very glad to hear it's being enjoyed and is inspiring people. Best of luck!

[@sumedhshinde8096]

You are the sweet child of music itself your highness! ❤️ I was just thinking of songs that would sound great on a sax and I typed it on yt and I found God right on the top of the list! #fan #inspired and grateful to have had the chance to listen to you sir. Love love and love from India. Many thanks!

[@chrisgable1]

Thank you so much, you're too kind! I was really pleased with this one. More coming soon!

[@shoptop995]

Poxa!!! Foi um dos solos de sax comparando a guitarra que mais achei parecido!!! Parabéns!!!!

[@marcogiai-coletti354]

OMG, that is impressive. You put the electric guitar to shame with your sax. Love it!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks!!

[@gamesandsoftwares1441]

this freaking rockssss, get this guy more views and subs NOWWWWWWWWWW

[@chrisgable1]

Yeah more subs/shares would be nice... thanks for watching!

[@rod5718]

You killed it!!!! Such a GREAT job with the video portions also. Beyond SWEET!

[@loopingmadman]

And the fast lick in the second solo. Impressive stuff man

[@fontanawira7983]

youtube's unfair... this kind of talent only got 7k views? wtf is wrong with youtube.?!

[@chrisgable1]

Yeah, welcome to my world. I had plans to do a bunch of these but there's just not enough interest to justify the hours it takes.

[@mustandawood]

Damn! That sax solo was awesome!

[@raynixgd]

Jesus the solo is way too impressive very well done

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks! Took 3-4 attempts to get it all in one go; it's not perfect but it's pretty close.

[@magick3110]

Making a guitar solo work on a sax. Ok, the sound effects made it almost sound like a guitar but anyway, that was a really great cover and some really fast fingers :-)

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks man! Had a blast making this one. Overdriven wah sax doesn't come up very often.

[@tzslungnip3843]

Absolutely awesome! It took me a few months to learn how to play this decent. This is the video behind that inspiration. Thanks.

[@luisfranciscoortizgonzalez1375]

It's really amazing!!!...

[@momo-mf6fm]

Best sax solo in youtube

[@leandrodasilvaalves844]

Oh man! This is amazing!!! I don't have words to describe it .... awesome!!!!

[@juniorsax1]

Freak, dude! You're so humble! This record was at least fantastic! You did the job! Where are the wrong notes dude? You did it perfect! Listening it here from Brazil. Hope someday I'll reach 10% of your talent! I actually play sax (satb), flute, clarinet and a little of bass. Thanks to share this work with us!

[@KC-zi7pw]

Normally I don’t subscribe to people because of only one video, but I’ll gladly make an exception for this. Easily one of, if not, THE BEST cover I have ever seen of any song! Keep up the great work!

[@chrisgable1]

Very kind of you, thank you!! I work hard on these vids and they don't get much love, so it's really nice to get comments like yours. Deeply appreciated.

[@nlanni]

Wow what a great video. I just thought I'd stop and take a look at the video to see how well the sacks can handle that song, it was very pleasantly surprised to see him play all those different instruments really great very great thank you

[@pascaldelacaze]

The vocal melody on tenor sax is so sweet! And super well done!

[@faiwong8534]

Super awesome. man. The solo is just freaking great on SAX.

[@chrisgable1]

I thought so too! Not all of them lend themselves to sax but this one definitely does.

[@loopingmadman]

That lead lick on saxophone isn't easy. Guitar players notes don't stop when they need to take a breath. Kudos

[@chrisgable1]

Yeah finding the best places to breathe took a few goes...!

[@SunnySuzu_]

Circular breathing could make it easier but I’m not sure as I’m still trying to learn it

[@davidaguayo2021]

OH MY GOD!!!! WOW!!! Amazing!!!! I used to play the Alto Sax in the elementary school band when I was a kid! I kind of regret not sticking with it. I have a Squire Stratocaster and I’ve not played in a while and want to get back into picking it up but I need to build a foundation again first.

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks man! Don't worry about building a foundation - all you need is to dedicate the time. I'm not a great guitarist by any stretch but the more time I spend on it the better I get, and the better I get the more I enjoy it. Go give that Squier a hiding.

[@여백.조영권]

Wow! I was deeply touched by your performance. This copy is great, awesome. I'm Cho from SEOUL, South Korea. I became a huge fan of you. I subscribed, of course. I know you used some effects, but how did you play alto saxophone just like guitar solo. Amazing! I've played sax for several years, but I don't think I can catch up with you. You are genius, most talented I've ever seen. You deserve it. G&R they'll definitely admire your work. If I can go to Sydney to see you, it'll be a great honour to me. Thank you for your video.

[@chrisgable1]

Wow, thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it, I was pretty happy with this one. As far as the effects go, it was just a really simple guitar amp plugin (the free one that came with Cubase) and the wah effect I added afterwards using my mouse...!

[@aaronrebello8046]

Dude! I'm waiting for more such covers!♥️

[@chrisgable1]

More to come! Open to suggestions too.

[@ulisesaviladi]

I wish I could like this 1000000 times! you are amazing sir!

[@X_MerkuryTM]

ima need the notes to try this beautiful cover you have made with the s a x

[@chrisgable1]

Sorry, I did it all by ear. But I deliberately filmed it this way so you can at least see my fingers. Best of luck!

[@arnaldopellizzaro3381]

Excelent. Thanks for the fingering close-ups, very useful for a beginner like me, @ 0.75x is a real tutorial. Congrats from Brazil.

[@chrisgable1]

Excellent! Glad it was helpful, that was the idea behind filming it that way.

[@Jimatalog]

Perfect, gonna try and learn it. Keep going ! :)

[@daemon3spade]

Damn.. i keep coming back here.. so good

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks man - I reckon of all the videos I've made this one most deserves more views... but alas...

[@AbrielleStClair]

This is my mom's favorite song and I totally jammed to this!

[@chrisgable1]

Haha - your mom must be old like me...! Glad you enjoyed it, I had fun making this one.

[@tivanolebang]

SLAXSophoneeeee... awesome video

[@judgefgt]

Fuuuuck man I haven't picked up my sax in a long time. I'm about to dust it off right now thanks to you. Awesome video, keep up the good work!

[@chrisgable1]

Rock on! Thanks for the kind words!

[@neemiasmazzoco5258]

I got no words to say what i feel watching this! You're a monster! Sacred monster of rock!

[@chrisgable1]

Aww you're too kind! Thanks heaps!

[@DeonGeorgeHarison]

Like the alto sax melody, tenor was great also, u deserve more subscriber.

[@chrisgable1]

Appreciate it!! More subscribers would be good, yeah... would be even better having the subscribers I already have actually watch my videos... c'est la vie

[@fernandoguimaraes_fueca]

PQP SENSACIONAL MANO VÉI!!!

[@theeyaengineeringconsultan8647]

Bloody blew me up..incredible talent. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Blew my mind..thank you so much

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks heaps. I'm pretty pleased with this one myself.

[@marksantos557]

absolutely the best sax cover of this song! I really like this. Keep it up bro!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks man! I was pretty pleased with how this one turned out.

[@JulianGutierrez-bz4fm]

wow! Bravo claps claps claps

[@IvanRx76]

Fantastic!!!!!

[@pope2079]

You did my day.... Amazing

[@mylifel3a701]

Fantástico empolgante o cara fez um sax tocar melhor do q uma guitarra 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sebastianjaramillo3485]

This version was so fire!! Awesome work

[@SaxVentures]

Awesome! I can only imagine how long that took to edit together! You effects on the sax solo make we want to be far more creative on my next project...

[@chrisgable1]

Ha yeah, it all made a lot more sense once I added the distortion & wah! Didn't take too long to chuck this one together to be honest - nothing tricky about the arrangement, just following the original. My recent cover of EASY was the one that took the most time...

[@lorenzo62920]

oh my god ! tks for this moment !! great!!

[@gabrieldauz3533]

you look like negan from the walking dead! awesome playing

[@chrisgable1]

Ha!! I guess I sort of do... Thanks for watching!!

[@chrisgable1]

[@jonathasvieira100]

Wowwww

[@666ddante]

ULTRA EPIC!

[@cesarcadenas6526]

impresionante me dejas sin palabras si hacer el solo en la guitarra ya es complicado em el saxofón debe ser mucho mas yo saque el solo en la guitarra y me costos mucho que de sin palabras excelente trabajo te felicito genial

[@chrisgable1]

He tocado el saxo durante casi 30 años, ¡así que es más fácil para mí tocar el saxo que la guitarra! Es un gran solo en cualquier instrumento, Slash es increíble.

[@bilalyusaf7822]

Talent 👍

[@starlex1980]

Just... Bravo!

[@chrisgable1]

👍❤️

[@maynard1278]

Very nice :) Glad to have found you.

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks!

[@countroshculla]

Amazing cover. This is going into my repeated watching list. Has anyone air saxed before? I think I may have invented it. I was so pumped duing the solo part that I was tapping my foot and head banging.

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks! Yeah I still reckon this one is my best yet. Shame it never got the traction I'd hoped it would... 🤷

[@arisyaodana2266]

Very good.🥳🥳🥳🥳🏆

[@chrisgable1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@HoomanPerson1]

It takes lungs and skill to be able to play like that. Dang this is nice!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks heaps! Yeah took several attempts to get it all in one take. Glad you like it, I'm pretty proud of this one.

[@CHIMENADIR]

Amazing! Can you gift us with solo transcriptions for the alto? I’m losing my sight looking at the fingering. 🙏🏻

[@chrisgable1]

Hahahaha nah I don't have the patience to sit there writing this stuff out. I just learnt it all by ear, I've been listening to that solo since I was 13 so it didn't actually take long to learn it - just that harmonic minor run-up halfway through the solo was the only tricky bit. The rest actually falls under the fingers pretty quick.

[@Lucasanz1]

What an incredible job. congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽

[@chrisgable1]

Thank you so much!

[@carmotraderfx]

MUITO BOM! EXCELENTE AMIGAO!!!!

[@carloschalco4141]

From Perú... what amazing cover sax... You're incredible on the sax... Congratulations!!!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinrebeiro]

Chris you've taken the sax to another dimension !!! Awesome Just out curiosity how many times did you have to play the song to learn the lead break?

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks man! Had a lot of fun making this one, really pleased with how it came out. I listened to this album a million times in my teens so I knew 95% of the solo by ear, played it more or less right the first time I tried... but that harmonic minor scale run-up halfway through the solo is a bit more complex than the rest. I found a transcription via Google; transposing & memorising it took about half an hour, perfecting it another half an hour. The take I used was I think the 3rd attempt. Not perfect but as close as I'm likely to get in a single take.

[@TheRuiYagami]

É tão perfeito q parece guitarra

[@rafa_katy]

Hi Chris, which saxophone and setup do you play on this video? incredible, amazing, congratulations! I wish someday I could play a tenth of that!

[@chrisgable1]

Thanks so much! Sax is a Selmer SA80 S2. Mouthpiece is a clear plastic Dukoff 6. Effects are just the free amp modelling plugins that came with Cubase!

[@Dally_Sparkles]

awesome man. so good i have no choice but to convert the solo to tenor because i don't have an Alto won't sound as good but oh well.. but wow man that was sooo good.. even down to the chuckka chuckka sound with the keys in the break.. my wife is going to be hell sick of this song by the time i'm finished.

[@chrisgable1]

You can do it!! That opening solo line will actually be easier on tenor I think, E is a much easier to reach key than B on alto. The solo, though... that'll be a major challenge...!

[@felipevirgilio3224]

Que sonzeira,top demais. 👏👏👏👏

[@glopessantos1]

Amazing sound , realy great. Man im looking for SLASH SOLO transcription , do you know where i can found it ? im looking around internet but this specific solo i cant found anything, even in Eb. Please if you can help a guy that want to do a solo like you, or, more probabily, close.

[@chrisgable1]

Hey man - someone sent me this as a great breakdown of the solo. It's for guitar and in the wrong key but it at least enables you to transcribe it if you want to. www.justinguitar.com/songs/guns-n-roses-sweet-child-o-mine-main-solo-pt-1-2-chords-tabs-guitar-lesson-cs-012
