Awww your mum ❤

😊

[@kalenderquantentunnel9411]

That was great! And reminded me, that there is another meaning to putting effort in practicing as you also play the instrument to please your loved ones! ❤

[@ouzalghost8411]

What a great, short and easy to follow lesson, I've struggled with this technique since I started playing, I think the delight at the end of the tunnel with this one, thanks Jamie.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@neilwoo5143]

Hi Mum! That was a wonderful moment ❤ Great lesson today...a skill you must try to master if you're playing/planning to play in a Swing Band/Big Band.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

So true!

[@PeterAssing-d6s]

You are a wonderful saxophone teacher my friend

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much!

[@JoeSAL_]

That´s a privilege, how wonderful to be able to enjoy your mother, Thank you so much for showing us where music really comes from. Eso es todo un privilegio, que maravilla poder disfrutar de tu madre, gracias por mostrarnos de donde viene realmente la música.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@terryhorlick9707]

Jamie, nice to meet Mum, is that Dad at 4:12? I have never heard of musical portamento. Is that the bending from one note to another? I have always loved the way Johnny Hodges does this bending, or is it portamento? Could you do a video on how to play in the Hodges style? (Without a trombone!) Thanks, TH

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh Hodges kinda glides with a lot of note bending. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@wanderinggenie]

@@GetYourSaxTogether plus one in the suggestion. Would be great a video about Johnny Hodges technique!

[@Nestor_Fernandez]

Excellent advice on glissando and how to practice it. You are sounding great as always!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much!

[@w2tty]

Great episode today! Tremendous breath control on over the rainbow!. I was waiting for it to fade. You made it!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh I know. watch the outtake.

[@林慈韻-r2f]

Good lesson. Good mom❤ love it. Thanks for sharing. Learn a lot.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are so welcome

[@bassofone1]

I had so much fun with this today! Thank you. Oof!!! It revealed some lazy technique on my part. But I had a blast working on it. I plan to work on this every day this week.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great job!

[@HahnJames]

Great lesson! This is what I needed. Thanks!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks Amy 🙏🏻

[@mztee761]

Jaime....Love, love, love this video. I'll try to incorporate glissing once I feel comfortable with my tone and articulation. Your mum is so sweet

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Aw thanks!

[@pavelpatsenkov]

Thanks Mr Anderson. That is a very powerful training.

[@robstevens9590]

Good exercises for practicing glissando! I haven't seen that Yamaha alto before. Nice to "meet" your mom (excuse the American spelling - ha)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks! 😃

[@gkpartington5634]

Brilliant stuff, Jamie. More vids on embellishments, please !!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Got a whole course of it soon!

[@josefmoveyourself7234]

Love this ! Great as usual 🙏🏻🎷

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much!

[@saxdessoul1195]

Thank You Jamie ... and hi to your Mum ! 😊

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you! Will do!

[@peterdrake5156]

Your mum looks so like my mum! Great lesson today...

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you! 😃

[@montesfam5]

Awesome Jamie! 🎷 I need to practice my glissandoning technique more often. (Is that a correct musical notes term?) 😅 Can’t wait for the new Course! Best Regards to your mum and family ❤. 🎷🤓

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cheers Carlos. 😊

[@DJsilversax]

Thanks for another great video. Are you tonguing the bottom and top note of the glass or just pushing more air through on the last note?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Tongue the first note slur the rest.

[@wanderinggenie]

Great lesson and tips for practice!! I already studied the chromatic scale but this approach gives a whole new dimension to it and organizes the study and gives a more practical purpose to it. Thanks!! And also congrats because your mom seems to be a lovely person!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much! Great, glad it helped

[@CraigAB69]

Great stuff as usual. Is that one of the old Yamaha student models? They sold them with a brown case back in the 1980s. Different neck and mouthpiece and lig, by the looks.

[@elmo93111]

I would like to know that too.

[@chrisperyagh]

That's a YAS-23 he's playing which was the entry level Yamaha from the late '70s right through to the mid '90s (replaced by the YAS-25, although the 23 did linger on much longer in the US than the rest of the world) - they just go on forever and ever!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

What Chris said below (or above) YTS-23

[@chrisperyagh]

@@GetYourSaxTogether They're good old workhorses and I've seen accounts of some players who prefer them over their MkVIs. They're definitely more consistent compared to Selmers even though they're Yamaha's entry level saxes. I've also been seeing the older 21 (and 22) altos and tenors gaining popularity as well, although they are best having a proper long Bb/F#-G# adjusting screw bar made and fitted instead of the plain metal rod with blocks of thick rubco stuck to it which isn't reliable. I work on Steve Grainger's saxes and he played Yamaha 23s when he was with Culture Club as he was worried about using a MkVI in case it got damaged or stolen. He still plays the same 23s now (although he did buy my late 62 off me a while back).

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@chrisperyagh great info. Thanks!

What model of yamaha are you using in this video?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

YTS 23.

[@pjbiow]

Thanks so much for this, Jamie - working on this at the piano at the moment, but really want to get this technique moving for the sax. Can you differentiate between 'glissando' and 'fall-offs' please? Great video and hello to Mum! 👋

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glissando connects 2 notes. Fall off fades to nothing. 👍🏻

[@pjbiow]

@@GetYourSaxTogether Perfect, Jamie, thank you!👋

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

A fall off is a gliss that never finds a note at the bottom I guess. It goes down and fades away.

[@jaywarnerbrosfan2025]

Hey mum the secrets of the saxophone

How do you do a portamento

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

With difficulty!

[@ailishbethd4033]

Ok thanks. Need to work on the speed of my chromatic scales. Early days yet though.😔

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You can do it!

Glissando is singular; glissandi is the plural

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ah! Thanks for that.

A ballad, …a national anthem 😂. I only know one how about you ?
