The best tutorial on Take Five! Thank you so much!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@emoreton2]

This is SO helpful, slowly putting it together but really helps to have it broken down into sections. Thanks!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I love this and it really made me got this correctly

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome!

[@robstevens9590]

Thanks again Jamie! Very helpful lesson (putting it together slowly) to learn this classic Paul Desmond number. The 5/4 rhythm has always thrown me off.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scopex2749]

Superb tutorial thank you. Ive loved this tune since I first heard it when I was about 5 years old! Since then Ive playe keyboards drums (thanks to Dave Brubeck) and guitars, mandolins. Strating to get arthritis in my hands so guitar playing is pretty much over for me SO.......I have bought an Alto and intend to learn this now!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Enjoy your saxophone journey!

[@adamwills1783]

[@dodojack1045]

Jamie, thanks. So helpful, so clear & so encouraging. Very helpful..!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gotofourths933]

Wonderful lesson thank you! This is my first song to try on sax. But any clue how to smooth jump from D to C at A/phrase 2 will be appreciated. If the answer is only "practice more" , that will be welcomed with pleasure. Regards.

[@gotofourths933]

I guess discovered it :) holding right hand fingers on the keys (D fingering) while switching to C fingering works well.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

☺️

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You can actually keep most of your d fingers down while playing C!

[@patemblen3644]

I love this piece, thanks again man.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Anytime Pat.

[@eyisax4112]

Thank you so much for this.....so easy to understand. You are a good instructor. How can I please have a person lesson with you sir

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Here’s how! www.getyoursaxtogether.com/teaching

[@mariapapachristos1439]

Can the next lesson be about the song Seniorita!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I do generally do vocal covers - just actual sax songs.

[@juanignaciopereyra]

Excellent!!! Great máster!!! Thank you!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You’re welcome.

[@xani8826]

Great lesson about one of my favorite jazz songs :-)) Just a remark ... did you know it the most famous song of Dave Brubeck was written by Paul Desmond?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Alexander Abert - glad you’re enjoyed it. Thanks for the knowledge as well! 👍🏻

[@milanignasy5648]

Hello Jamie - Section A (phase 3) could i use the normal C key instead of Palm key+B. What is the significance i feel both sounds the same?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Whatever works for you is cool!

[@paulr2171]

Thank you Jamie, wonderful video as always. I notice that you use one of the alternative fingerings for Bb; do you find that easier than using A, plus the side key, or does it depend on the piece?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Paul R - I don’t consider the button bis key Bb an alternative - I use it virtually every time. Very rarely will I use the side Bb. I don’t think I know any top sax players who routinely use the side Bb so it’s worth starting to switch ASAP in my humble opinion! Side Bb is typically taught by clarinet players as there’s no bis key on clarinet. Glad you’re enjoying the content and thanks for your support.

[@paulr2171]

@@GetYourSaxTogether Thank you for that advice Jamie; I am glad I asked. I will start to use that key from now on. Luckily I haven't been playing that long. Thanks for the reply.

[@DJsilversax]

What are you doing with the F# to G in the first riff? Are you bending the F#?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I’m bending up from F# to G. Or more correctly up FROM a flat G to G.

[@cxrpman]

This is great, however I do have one question. What do the asterisks next to some of the notes mean?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

* = second octave ** = third octave. :-)

[@cxrpman]

Thanks!

[@keesauto]

Hi Jamie have a question.. in the first phase which starts with G C Eb F.. comes the F# G F# F Eb.. from this part i clearly hear the last 3.. all together i hear 4 notes instead of 5 notes.. which means i an missing one note.. even at 0,5 speed you only hear 4 notes.. are you slurring F# to G.. ? Maybe a silly question but i am banging my head on the door here.. frustration through the roof.. sax stuck in the ceiling.. just kidding but your help would greatly be appreciated! Thank in advance!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Play what you hear. Simple. Ignore me! 🤣

[@nikisax6199]

Fantastic, thankyou

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Niki Jayne Hayden - thanks! 👍🏻

[@profxavieronsaxophone5950]

yes ! awesome

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

:-)

[@Redsaxophone11]

Very useful for the phrasing marks for the tune, which is in the original key. However, as mentioned the phrasing of the first part is not how Paul Desmond phrased it and it seems slightly out of context.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Hi Rick, thanks for your comment, and I appreciate your attention to detail. Yeh, I guess I slightly overcooked the phrasing there. Glad you're keeping me accountable! lol J:-)

[@godswill_jjsax]

Wow... I really love this tutorial.❤️❤️ I've been wondering how to start on this, you've just help me out with the description 😘🙏 #africanigeria🌍 #jjsax🎷

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome. Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻

[@KrisVComm]

First section sounds different from you than the recording. You bend up but Paul does a clean turn around by fingering the notes

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try and do it better next time I guess! ;-) It's good that you know how to play it exactly like him, it shows you're listening very carefully. That's what it's all about. Can you record yourself playing it? I love hearing other people play stuff! Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)

[@Tyrantstorm]

I think the first few notes in the A section were wrong, it was kinda clunky.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for your comment. Pretty sure the notes are right, maybe there's a slight difference in phrasing. Always keen for people to keep me honest ;-)

[@VictoriouzBIG]

I hear it too there's a slight pause between notes you are tounging the first section too much there's a few notes that are supposed to be in a slide

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@VictoriouzBIG Oh well, sorry to let you down bro!

[@VictoriouzBIG]

@@GetYourSaxTogether You can't let me down man, you are the reason I'm playing all my favourite songs and enjoying my time learning, was just sharing what I picked up on while trying to learn this piece, cause all the notes are correct! Keep up the good work im loving your content ♡

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@VictoriouzBIG Aw, thanks man!!! 🤛🏻
