[garyvinson1]

[AlleyCatRawr]

You use a 1 1/2 reed ..? How?

[Linux5324]

[wildcatsrule333]

never heard a tone like this

[165LAJ]

dude your beast

[thecamful1]

how do you get this sound

[delta1inc]

First of all I just want to say I love the way you play good cover =D, second what saxophone should I get as my first saxophone? I like jazz and blues but I also want to do covers and what not later on, so what sax would be a good beginner to intermediate one. Thank you.

[nailes2207]

where did you learn to play? Are you studying at a University or did you just teach yourself?

[nathaniacarmini]

Smooth sound doc. You got good control and range. Love it.

[ReggaeMon55]

You have excellent tone quality and smooth phrase definition!

[Panzer21x]

Hey man, you sound really good, ive been playing saxophone for about the same time as you and im pretty good at alto but want to expand my skills to be just as good at tenor as well...i really like your tone, anything in particular you got that sound from?

[MyfavoriteDessert]

DAMn!! Now that was a PERFORMANCE!! amazing that we get to listen to this for free. Thank you so much for this, i'll garantee that u'll make some girl real happy. ;)

[Jknessmic]

True saxophone color

[BadBADdAd99]

Love the tone!! You truely have the patience of an artist. I just received a brilhart metal 7 mouthpiece for my altos it is so smooth it almost seems as though something is missing.

[samreeves0404]

WOW THAT WAS GOOD!

i am in grade 9 and just started, and i only know 2 Christmas songs.

[wildcatsrule333]

ever tried moving up reed strengths? don't know many people playing on 1 1/2's..

[MikeBzd]

from what i've heard. after you've been through all the reed strengths, you have no other choice but to move down or stay where you are in terms of reed strengths...

[bwaylover17]

Great tone. Actually, fabulous tone!!

I play tenor as well and I must say, I strive to get a tone as good as yours! Good job.

[MrSaxman68]

thats pretty awesome it sounds amazing

[sirkriskringle]

Coool :D

SKK.

[TrinityProductions1]

VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­RRRRYYYY NICE TONE. I play on a bundy.... looks like I need to check up on one of those mouthpeices. Man, Im really Diggin your tone... 4 real though. nice and bright

[cheeseyboy007]

[007grog3]

HIGH FIVE ON THA BRILLHART BROTHA!!!

Perhaps upgrade to Vandoren 2's or 2 and a halfs?

[PozestStar]

I just started learning how to play about 4 months ago. I still sound like a wounded duck, but I hope that I can sound like this some day ^_^

Amazing job!

[PainWds]

GO HERD!!!

but... Bundy II ? 1.5 reeds??? HOW DO YOU STILL SOUND GOOD??? yes thts a compliment

[ShinyAndTouchable]

Ikr? thats what i was thinking. If i try and play anything less then a 3.5 my lips over compensate and I sound like shit!

[jayalmoradie]

mann this song brings back good memories of past christmas'

great job on the song Cron

[FrixxelC40]

Nice man, really killer.

Only thing I find weird is that the room you're in sounds like a pretty live space but it doesn't really look that live.

But none the less, amazing Job.

[RagingLionn]

when you mic yourself up, do you add reverb or anything after effects at all?

if not, hella nice vibrato, w/e room your in, it works great. like your sound just eminates so nicely.

[tacostandinmexico31]

OMG!!!! That was awesome dude. I play trumpet but i stink compaired to you!!!!

[DJM626]

Nice Vid... Shows a good player can get HIS or HER sound on ANY Brand of Sax they play.. It's the player. Having decent equip does help, but a good player can pick up anything and get their signature sound on it..

[IWreckCars]

dude your playing on a bundy 2 and it sounds that good and a 1.5 read wow

[dontevenstartme]

y u so surprised about a 1.5 reed? its not the stronger the better you know. 4 isnt better than 2. idiot.

[Muscleman250]

Now datz how a tenor sax is suppose 2 sound. i play alto and itz my 8th yr playn. il hav som videos on here soon as well. keep up the good work u sound good as hell

[suziebow]

it sounds great i am about to start taking lessons on alto sax and if i can sound a quarter as good as you i will be happy I am getting a late start at 35 yrs old

[lordrahXephon]

def good stuff man ive been playing 9 year's it's good to hear other good players

nice selectio on sax equpi

[emmz4life1]

wow really good! but why do you use 1 1/2 size reed? i've been playing alto saxophone for about 5 months and changed to berrie saxophone about 1 month ago ^_^ and your notes seem low :| i have the music for this song and my notes go all the way up to the c 2 ledger lines above the staff lol

[jollyranchergirl3000]

thats because he has a tenor ... and i guess you have an alto right? i play alto for about 4 years already

[dontevenstartme]

whats the problem? there should be at least another 2 octaves to go after that!

[dontevenstartme]

o yeah and wats a berrie sax? its BARI! short for BARItone?

[LewisGuy09]

wow.speechless.I thought I sounded good.you sound even better.

[Gbiz92]

You are amazing on the saxophone...I wish i can play like that.Can u teach me.lol

[krismylove]

thats a 1and a half reed?

[mikeol]

i dont know how you get such a great sound with 1 and a half size reeds...and a bundy.

holy crap! haha good job

[saxman001]

Great job...although I thought this was an alto until I read your comments. Guess that's what a 1 and a half read will do.

Sounds good

[quakershockey]

Goodness your tone and your pitch and everything about your playing is amazing. There is no way you should not have a CD out, I would buy it in less than a second... I LOVE YOUR MUSIC!

[nigroverdis]

one and a half reeds? why??

[iwarner09]

No shit dude?!

I live in Ohio, and my 2 best friends are Freshman at Marshal!

Go Herd!

[usmcorey]

I take it you dig Dave Koz a little? Good sound man.

[Dixie00910]

what are you at university for??

[samnaps1]

nice playing man...i wish i could have been there to back you upon the guitar

[jbritp]

Dude, you're an amazing saxophone player!!

I wish I can do it too..

[THERAFFUCCI]

Amazing, amazing, amazing, nitido, dulce..woo

quisiera tocar algun dia asi. you are my hero now.jejeje

[chilipopo123]

you are an amazing saxophone player

listening to this make me warm inside

i play sax as well

no where near as gr8 as u

keep it up

i would like to ask what to do to get tone like urs

[That1jazzguy]

Wow that some of the best tone i've heard from a student model horn, especially a bundy. A 1.5 too, crazy good!

[terronsorrells]

i was thinking the same thing

[saxman170]

dude, ur good. this is really puttin me in the christmas spirit!

[Raimis17]

By the way great job!

[Raimis17]

1.5 reed? That's realy thin reed.I play my sax on a 3.5 or 3 Vandoren reeds, why do you play on so thin reads?

[tmorgan121]

im a serious fan!!! x

[iamkewlness]

holy freakin god! you have the best tone i have ever heard (besides kenny G)

[m4578]

Pure magic. Nothing schould be added!

[number51rocksmyworld]

you are absolutly amazing... i play but recently quick band to join chorus but i loved it while i did it.

[Garelli1964]

Wow! great sound especialy from a student model Sax. I am a Tenor player for about 33 years now. Took about 6 years off then picked it up again about 2 years ago. Its great to hear real musicians like yourself play from the heart and soul. Kenny G Sucks!!

Thanks for posting and keep doing your thing.

[kentatsu05]

sounds good! you'd drive my teacher crazy with all that vibrato, but to me sounds great! not a huge fan of Brilhart Mp's (i use Morgan Excaliburs and Yanagisawa) but you make it sing. great vid again!

[jjcoolio0802]

hi justin did u get ur bundy un laquered or did u buy it like that?

[crizonproductions]

I bought it like that...I like the vintage look!

[jjcoolio0802]

yah i love vintage looking saxes ..! how much did u end up spending?

[cnhianda]

Inspired me to pick back up the sax

Brilhart level aire? What size opening? 5*? Ligature?

thx

[aibezjm]

Is music your major? or is this just something that you enjoy doing?

[bammxitsxamanda]

wow. I play tenor sax and my whole goal in life is to sound like you! :)

[SaxPlayaJo]

wow, that is amazing.. i loved it.. wow.. that.. wow.. do you have music for it or was it by ear?

[crizonproductions]

thank you! and it was by ear...

[SaxPlayaJo]

WOW!

[andrew81992]

did u say you use a student model? sounds good for one

[waidskate25]

i admire you..very relaxing sounds of sax..

[crizonproductions]

Thanks you!!

[SeanVogeMusic]

wow man, sounds good...that made me wish I took sax lessons instead of piano.

[crizonproductions]

Ah, don't say that...:) I wish I would have taken piano instead of sax...lol, no joke!!

[Rayofpain]

Hm? So did you take real saxophone lessons? Or was your skill developed from high school/middle school/ university courses? I am an alto player, and i really want to become a great player like you someday, but I think all the teaching I will get will be from these 4 years i have been playing sax in school bands.

[Electric1Shadow5]

WOW

phenomanol as always!!

but my teacher, bruce eskovitz, would kill you for litftin your fingers and moving your thumb

lol

[KamikazeFuyu]

How...how brilliant! What a beautiful sound!

I admire your performance extreamly! exclusively! I've moved by your sound and been qrazy about your performance.

[bensharkey]

YOYOYO! what's up Justin! nice to see you talkin. You rock man, hopefully we'll be working together on some stuff soon! Happy New Year! -ben

[crizonproductions]

Well just let me know when you're ready to work on something... Have a Happy New Year also dude!!

[martin2288]

[beth112395]

You're an amazing sax player.

I hope i could be as good as you some day. :]

[polarted]

wow your really good

how do you get it to sound so jazzy? (is it because you play the tenor?)
