Improv: Offspring Kids Aren't Alright on Sax ONE YEAR LATER

[luckycharms9092]

tenor sax right?? because i play alto

[TripleOctaveMusic]

Nice but in all fairness you are using a Mic which cleans inonation and improves tone !

you have DEFINETLY IMPROVED THOUGH

[hangloose301]

this is awsome, i wish i had friends like you

[altairr26]

you're mad!!!!

[gormono10]

fo kiu



[Sublemon7]

pretty repetitive but i guess itd be hard to make a cooler sax line for this song. besides that u got great sound and the altisimo shit was cool

[honkysaxophone]

Nice dude!!!! :D

[bandnfirm]

So good run guy !!!!

nice blue note @ 0:42 !!!

Watch my group with4 sax / drums / guit / bass & keyboard, it's call "band'n firm" we are french and with a bad english accent it means "band of handicaped"

[Dmanjsc123]

what make tenor are you using? Sounds awesome with the metal mouthpiece!

[mokijn]

it gave me goosebumps when I listened to it, props man!

[Nebuli93]

sounds awesome man. i play the sax too. i really like your way of improvising, its very close to the style i do it ;))

[BartSimpson247]

nice shirt i can play hit that on the saxophone well just the intro

[brsurferbrasil]

what scale did use for soloing?(sorry im new to tenor sax but ive played guitar and bass for a while)

[whitespott]

uchihafire7, its inprov, there is no sheet music, and secne he hasent been on in a year i dont think there will be any. unless u make it urself

[unidude1988]

dude, you are so good!

[daisyamelia]

Sorry I dont know why I even asked that, but I play tenor and their is know way I could ever play that great.

[Wonko19]

Tenor, obviously.

[franktlavery]

Fantastic. The improvement between this and your original improv of the same song is phenomenal, its even difficult to link the two sax players as the same person (by sound obviously) Congrats!

[coolstuffjr22]

its realy close even tho its improv

[coolstuffjr22]

improvs are done by ear

[Riot55]

Your sax makes the song 10000x better.

[Pomaranczyk]

Perfect!

[mrinehart93]

Nice!

[Tadismad07]

Holy mother of crap this so freaken awesome!!!! I play trumpet and i only wish that sometime or another we can group up and do somethin like this together cuz i can play the song itself while u could jazz it up

[chilango99mex]

holy shit thats good dude, keep it up!!

[katrina90presents]

You are my idol, man. I'm trying to teach myself the alto sax without being able to read music very well. How did you go about teaching yourself?

[penguinboy62]

This is my favourite song ever, And everytime i here it i expect the saxophone to burst in (: Honest to god one of the best videos on youtube, in my opinion ofc :P

[furiouspunkboy]

im really digging this cover man, fucking rocks

[shaunwaters04]

You've got an awesome tone. I'm grade 7 sax myself. As someone below said, try to keep your fingers closer to the keys and you'll be able to go faster. But to be honest, you're doing great.

You can solo/improvise better than me!

[nukem53]

love this song... awesome job! keep it up

[ozzymus112]

sounds exactly like it did a year ago

[highvoltijj]

Try to keep your fingers closer to the keys, you'll play faster and more in the pocket. And I'd say LESS IS MORE for all your improvs, you're trying to turn them into sax solos, but if you truly want to "fuse" these two genres on songs like the ones you picked, be a lot more conservative about what you play, when you play it, and how often you play it. My lecture is over, overall good job.

[sirtubs]

all bands should have a sax player

[ooganblat]

Finally! someone who agrees!

[jazziesax]

I love that sax/rock fusion stuff! Very interesting and pleasing to the ears! I need to try something like this, although I'm more of a classical saxist, with the occasional jazz going on. And you're pretty good!

[skabert69]

you should do a cover/improv to the song take warning by operation ivy, or the song wailing paddle by the rudiments. those bands already play ska but they dont got the horns im looking for. seriously do it.

[scottrjmatmsncom]

good over all but that high note could of been beter

[fatalassassin7]

really good man i enjoyed it but it got kind of boring. you used a lot of the same couple notes. Should have used a broader range or hopped from high notes to low suddenly not crawled there (just on occasion) but overall good.

[stdimg11]

clean your room

[weebleking70]

this is why sax is good, it sounds great no matter which song you play it to

[dextratomnoodlesgreg]

u is da man.

[Pomaranczyk]

Cool!!!

[Pomaranczyk]

This is my favourite song ^^ Perfect Iprov!!!

[HaightAshbury91]

cool

[scottrjmatmsncom]

no affenc i liked the first one better but it was cool

[trishadomingo]

woooooow :)

[tenorblue17]

once again you've rocked the world of rock! crazy awesome. i've been checkin the vids since you started n im inspired, really! on a side note, what do you to do to new reeds for prep? i think i love you...

[samsonthesaxman]

Hi, thanks for the kind words...I don't really prep my new reeds, I just play them for a few days until they soften. I keep three or four "broken in" reeds handy and just rotate them.

[DylanSax]

wow...samson the saxman cant tell you. you prep a new box of reeds by soaking each reed for about 5 minuts each. Then you play each on for about 30 minuts but dont play anything above forte' or else the reed will get to soft to fast and ull have to throw it away too soon.  and rotate your reeds. keep them in either a bag or a charcoal container meant for reeds. If you file your own reeds then seek help elswhere because im not gonna go through that whole thing for someone who thinkds samson is

[theJazzJedi]

Dylan is correct. lol. Just thought I'd say that to whomever gave him a thumbs down.

[wikisenia]

Awesome!

[gunship999]

just great! I'm learning myself in my 1st year but I'm 43, never mind

Keep it up from United Kingdom

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

Hey you should put more videos up, it doesn't even need to be with a song, just some improve.

[squirrelbasha]

what were some of the notes you played in that? please help

[samsonthesaxman]

I believe I played all 12 notes in this one...as usual, it's all in my head, no notes!

[cbyrd2200]

you don't need notes when you improv. let the music flow. number 1 rule of soloing. no one knows you're making mistakes. that's because you don't make mistakes. you just let the music flow.

[squirrelbasha]

go sam go :D

[JimiHendrix574]

nice one. Can't wait to hear you jazz!!

[Itsdfuzz]

Thats the funny part...HE CAN'T!! LAWL LAWL LAWL
