[Riccardo26450]

Veramente Bello !

[c0d3x001]

i'm amazed everytime i see this ...how do you like your mouthpiece btw. ?

[c4bb4g3]

wow man, that was awesome. I'd seriously buy this if it was for sale xD

[imortal187]

What is the chord progression for the backing track? :o

[danzky2426]

Great, nice sound, Where did you get the funk music you play along?

[brideofbadmovienight]

Take it from one sax player to another, man- you've got chops. You have the funk, dude. More than that, you've got SOUL.

[4silversax]

You man I have a lot favorites and I just keep coming back to yours. This IS FUNK, dam awesome. When's the next one or even a CD bro come on, I know you are more then ready.

[saxaphonegirl1998]

omg ur hot.......teach me how to play like that!!

[TheLITTLEGUY09]

how can someone dislike this.............

[CyanideHappinesT]

Holy shit ,you play sax with the monsters.

[MaGiCpEnGu1n]

Selmer sax!!

[sandrovaro]

very cool!!!

[jeremyb1910]

You have only 1 video? WTF men? We're waiting for some more!!!

[jerryfor2012]

@jeremyb1910 He says he hasn't time to make any other videos, and he's busy paying for the rent.

[littlesimpson2]

So this guy is shoulder deep in vagina right? and if not, WHY!?

[2259269587]

Good fingers and a very nice sound! Is that a New York Meyer you are playing? Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

[MrMuzacMan]

dude ur good i play sax as well

[pansaxophonist]

very nice

[TheOmbreloup]

I just began to learn saxo and I'm not sure which style I would prefer yet. So that kind of video make me decide for funk alto saxo for sure ! So awesome !

[TheSomeone230]

Oh My God...

[JoeOSax]

Very nice !! I love this style ! Do you know some band of music like this style ? I think that you gave me the desire to learn alto saxophone.

[myusernaime]

@JoeOSax /watch?v=CVy5yOs0NSA

[MrMusisiembongan]

what is the key?

[Slinkytiger71]

maan...I love it..great work and you "ROCK"!

[Shiv3sh]

I'm totally going to shred over this track on Bari... Do you have the changes? 

[midojiduma]

hey absolut geil. vo wo isch dä typ. where do you come from you ... i love you. absolut de hammer

[midojiduma]

absolut geil? hey wass isch das füren typ. säg mer wo er wohnt de nimmi inne....

[sissybe]

You have a great tone, can I ask you wich mouthpiece are you using?

[MrFunxy]

way too much jaw movement, need a solid em-brochure, why you puffin yo cheek? sounds cool though.

[davefstrong]

@MrFunxy Haha, I'm not puffing my cheeks, although it does look like it in the video. I've always moved my jaw a bit, especially for scoops and effects like in this style of stuff. Not sure if it's legit, but it's always worked ok.

[MrFunxy]

@davefstrong

I used to do, lost marks on my performance score.

[davefstrong]

@MrFunxy I guess it matters what type of music. If I was playing in a section, or doing a classical piece, I would want to keep things as steady as possible. For this type of tune, I've always thought it was ok to play a little more "loose" or "dirty".

[MsBabycrime]

wow dude i am amzed like honestly u just made me feel realy good this is how i goo i wanna be soon

[davefstrong]

@MsBabycrime Thank you! :)

[MrStockton49]

Nice one Dave..thanks for the backing track link too..

[TopNotchEU]

I'm diggin your sound, bro. What kind of mouthpiece are you playing on?

[TopNotchEU]

@TopNotchEU Read the description and became a smarter man, thank you. :)

[davefstrong]

@TopNotchEU A meyer 7m.

[MrMusisiembongan]

How much the price of your sax? :)

btw, nice playing.. keep posting bro

[lokir]

Very nice.

[Zombbg4]

The other people in that motel probably wanted to shove a mouthpiece down your throat.

[davefstrong]

@Zombbg4 Haha, the hotel was empty. It was in a resort area in Florida during the day.

[amziadi]

Aweome! Thanks fo the the track too... It works great both for the alto sax and the guitar. It sounds really cool playing C Dorian over that. Is that what you're playing as well? (with chromaticisms off course)

[davefstrong]

@amziadi Yeah, I'm mostly going over C concert dorian, as well as some other chromatic stuff. Thanks!!

[cesaxmat]

Really Good, can you tell Us what effect you use in this video?

[davefstrong]

@cesaxmat Just some reverb that was built into the Zoom recorder. Thanks!

[Anoteros69]

i ve been thinking about buying an alto sax and each time i say no i listen to your solo and i get right back at the start

[AnEpicRussian]

@Anoteros69 get a tenor its better :)



[c0d3x001]

@Anoteros69 sam e thing here... i can't decide whether to buy alto or tenor... i watched the video of maceo parker and his band laying shake everything you got life, which got me to think about learning the sax but i don't know which..



[c0d3x001]

@c0d3x001 *same ; playing ; live

[Ethiokarate1]

sir, if i had a young fertile daughter, i would give her to you.

[davefstrong]

@Ethiokarate1 Haha....thanks!!

[gwtbh]

@Ethiokarate1 sweet sound reminds me of david sanborne

[CPBach]

How's that note produced at 2:40. Is it just bending or a smooth combination of notes? And which reed did you use? Greets

[davefstrong]

@CPBach I'm bending up to an altissimo g, I think. I use lavoz medium-hard on this recording.

Thanks!

[GuitarSound1959]

how long have you been playing saxophone?

[TheKORAY1907]

hey master !! wonderfull solo congratulations...

i also play alto sax and wanna learn if you have more videos and your name also...

[4silversax]

AWESOME MAN !!

[devilasher]

[voltaspeeder17]

Damn, i wanna learn how to play like that!!

[rodrigojuvencio]

Man, this is a pop song ._.' . . .You play very well, but your Funky Sound lookes like Candy Dulfer

[dordulek]

Great video! Glad I stumbled upon this!

[tsaxplaya0708]

Hey man this was great! I was just wondering how you got your sound to do that echo? What program/software did you use to get the sweet audio?

[ChanWinterShade]

my frustration :( hahahaha



[walsh93jazz]

@Holycrap27 what mouthpiece do you use? first thing i'd reccomend is harder reeds and blow the crap outta them

[imortal187]

@walsh93jazz Description...

[noobs575]

Hey, what make is that sax? I'm interested in buying an alto and am just curious has to what you're using.

[mrIlikepie8888]

@noobs575 if you look at the neck, you can tell its probably a selmer.

[imortal187]

[BriansThing]

[TheZaco47]

[iWingnut]

This is just inspirational. I'm 16 and play the alto sax, and one day I hope to come even near to your standards, man :) Pleeeease make more vids

[ImiesBlog]

[TheZaco47]

[jerryfor2012]

@TheZaco47 It's an Alto Sax as the title says.

[ZionLegend]

@davefstrong: Hey! I don't know all the type of saxophone (tenor, baryton..). Yours sound very well! I love it! What do you use?

[Trippnhippie]

wow dude. I'm a keen saxophone player myself, but over the last year i haven't really bothered much. After seeing this... I cant wait till the morning to start playing again!

[Negulaok]

@davefstrong: Hey man, well done!! I'm from Brazil, play the sax for more than 5 years and that's the sound that i like!! How can i contact you??

Cheers from Brazil

[davefstrong]

@jerryfor2012 Haha, I wish....just playing gigs, and trying to pay the rent. Been so busy, haven't really had time to make any other vids.

[jerryfor2012]

@davefstrong you're pretty good, so is this just a hobby or are you planning to go somewhere with your talent?

[OrioN8888887]

@davefstrong Where do you play dave? (general location)

[Holycrap27]

@davefstrong how do you get that thin sharp jazzy tone, when I play the sax my tone is mellow and sounds bad with bends

[drago884]

That's a real good sound, well played!

[davefstrong]

@drago884 Thank you!

[Bluestone120]

You've got a great tone and an excellent concept of style and phrasing - keep it up.

[samuelDJatta]

[DexterFlextor]

Never touched a sax in my life, and am starting lessons next week. i am extremely musical to say the least. Does alto give the widest variety of genre to play with? thanks. Great playing aswell. You inspired me to learn sax. just for your information. keep it up man!

[Rottaler]

What a nice horn and what a great sound you get out of it! Good work!!

What program did you use to create the backing track??

[bernardoberaldi]

Nice, so how to sync? Do you use some softwere?

[yayo122193]

[boredasshit1000]

[thunderfoot43]

Nice jams man. The only thing I don't like is the massive amount of scoops. Other than that, great job.

[noslen77]

Great video man!!! I play the sax too, I started with the alto and now I play a Selmer Aristocrat ts600 and I am searching for tutorials for that kind of fast improvisation. Do you know

where I can find one?

Your spelling reminds me that our generation does not indeed have a shot.
