The Bare Necessities (After 9 weeks of playing)

[akabbo]

nothing special when youre pracitcing a lot. Starting to play Saxophone is quite easy but to get to a higher level is the hard thing.

would be interesting to hear you after one year of playing!

A little tip: Leave your lefthand fingers on the buttons, dont move them so far away from the instrument.

Keep on playing!

what are the notes to that?

[daisukexv13]

9 weeks you must be practicing very hard.

the more pratice the better right?

[ibattlexx]

um wtf.. i took this song and learned it in one day... and id only been playing the sax for like a few weeks.. good vid tho

[14AuburnNotGinger09]

It depends he might not have had the music before or something.

[yvestas95]

I can play this song and I've been doing sax for 3 weeks! But the sound is very good, it's so hard at the begining. Good luck!

[OttOandCO]

Wow! Playing this song in 3 weeks?!! That's great! Yes it is difficult at the beginning. You wonder if you ever will get the hang of it.

Well, keep up the good work and good luck to you too!

I can play this too, good job!

I hear those black laquered sax's dont have the best tune -or something- and you have to work hard to make it sound good.

[OttOandCO]

Thanks cutechick64! I am not sure about the black nickle sax's. I have nothing to compare it with. I bought it because I liked the look of it and when my teacher plays it I hope I will ever sound like that in the future! Nothing wrong with the horn lol... it's just me having to learn to play it better. Ha,ha, ha... no really, it has a nice sound, I only have to find it myself!!!!!

Love, Cobi

[cutechick64]

keep up the practice and you will get better. As for the sound, it's about creating a sound that your looking for,not just creating a good sound that can be played from that sax.

[14AuburnNotGinger09]

It more depends on the make; Yamaha, Espirit etc. They're all basically brass underneath - I know because I've dented mine (not seriously and now fixed and good as new) when i fell off the stage and the lacquer came off.

[cutechick64]

Ya makes sense. I had just heard about the black lacered sax's not being the best choice when it comes to a Yamaha. And thats a good thing you didn't seriously dent or damage your sax

[14AuburnNotGinger09]

Yh well its the stage crews fault - black chairs, black stands and not enough light plus a gap which someone like me is bound to put their foot down...

[bennysantini]

Very..Good..Great infact..!! Jason...

[OttOandCO]

Thanks Jason! I am working hard to make it sound nice. It's a difficult job though LOL!

Love, Cobi

[marcmickey]

love it !!!!!!

Marc

[OttOandCO]

Thanks Marc! In the meantime I am working on some klezmer songs on my sax. I can practice at night at a factory here in town and there it sounds great! Unfortunately every time I want to make a video I get so nervous that you can here it in my breathing... a nasty "shaky" sound. I hope it will improve in time because I can do a lot better.

I think the best way is to keep going and making these vids. It's all about RELAXING hahaha.... :^)

Love, Cobi

[OttOandCO]
