[RaphaelMusic]

can someone tell me where can i find his dvd???? thanks

[lololxDlololxD]

can someone tell me why when i blow on it it does a squeaky sound instead of a sound like him in the vid?

[RNDfighter33]

I wonder if this guy has ever heard of tuning...

[SuperNudrat]

i am the only one in my band class playing this and i rock

[Moopboy699]

omg me to

im looking how to play the tenor

im new at this

[NinjaBunniesRule24]

I'm a 6th grader and learning to play this for band is so FUN!

[chriss1152]

ok i,m go to get a tenor sax so this was something for me to learn

[Ysanchez177]

Learning to play the tenor right now..... My jazz band teacher asked me if I could and I said yes........ Now I play tenor for jazz and my clarinet for advance band!

[Grimmjowking]

@Ysanchez177 same but im a bass clarinet

[huffer220]

i suc at twnor



[597nothing]

I play Bari sax and alto and now in just missing the tenor

[Dalibor2599]

I'm 12 and my music teacher took a spazz at me for not play lower notes and making them sound high....then he said a bunch of stuff i diddn't get and left me to die on my own...hes crazy

[isanyonebored]

im 11 and learning how to play this.. SOO FUNN

[Naynaymikay]

at 1st he sounded kinda creepy, but he actualy helped me

[dustbiter445]

i could shoot myself in the foot for selling my tenor...

[coltrainification]

i play alto and i really wanna switch to tenor but i cant really afford an instrument of such high cost. I was thinking about renting one at my school but supposedly theyre not supposed to teach tenor and bari until jr high its going to to be a long rest of the year

[TheDOBERMAX]

@coltrainification why won't they teach you? i was twelve when my teacher taught me how to play the tenor and he won't allow me to play the alto

[jszilagyi20]

people, instead of buying a low quality used saxophone--go to your nearest music shop and rent a beautiful one for around $40 a month! that's what i do. and then one day once you've gotten involved in the jazz community in your city, i'm sure an old player will have something kicking around that you could buy. but until then--play!

[CaptynWolf]

It would be hard to find an alto or tenor at around 500.Alto around 1000 for the lowest quality and Tenor can range from 2000 up.

[X3pqRenQ]

What alto & tenor saxophone brands would you recommend? Which economy brands (less than $500) would you recommend?

[IBETROLLEN45]

whoever invented the sax is probly the god of music sooooo that must mean the tenor sax is the ark angel

[IBETROLLEN45]

im a biginner tenor sax player i like just started playing any good hints 2 be good

[SuperSuperWOOT]

You didn't explain the lower keys

[ankeponken]

what!?!! why is his C# a B????

[Colin0598]

@ankeponken cause tenor sax isnt a concert Bb instrument

[mindkilla123]

@ankeponken Bb pitched instrument.

[sk8erchick877]

im so stupid when he said they were all open he called it a c# and i was like i thought tht was called a Bb haha

[Snickerzxo1234]

I PLAY TENOR ITS AWESOME!!! <3

[theCrouton2]

@Snickerzxo1234 duh

[alirzb]

@drayo31

Uhh...search up George Shelby, if thats who you are referring to...

He's kind of a big deal

[horbergaren]

when i'm moving down from pressing down no keys down to the 3rd of 4th, it goes up back again, sounds like a teenager having trouble with his voice, any help?

[letters129]

@horbergaren your mouth may be to tight, and when you go to a lower note its up an octave. when you try to hit a lower note your mouth must be looser than if you are playing a higher note or the low note will either not play, or come out an octave above what it should be/

[horbergaren]

@letters129 thanks, i have another question, you say that when i don't have any keys put down it's a C sharp, but when i do it myself my choromatic tuner says it's a B, any idea whats wrong?

[letters129]

@horbergaren

what are the settings on the tuner? it might be on the wrong settings resulting in an off reading.

[horbergaren]

@letters129 it gets the correct tones if i put a guitar tuning machine on on my cpu, when it does an E my tuners shows E. But when this guy blows out a "C#" my tuner says it's a B

[xJoSHeDx]

@horbergaren its because of the way its tuned. Its tuned to Bb. This changes the notes in some way im not sure how though

[drayo31]

@horbergaren youre guitar is at concert pitch the tenor sax is set to the Bb and that means go up 2 on the scale aa#b# so on alto goes down 3 so if it were Bb on tenor its a c #\

[horbergaren]

@drayo31 man thats a stupid system, what scale am i supposed to play in if a guitar player is playing rythm in c? (Concert C)

[drayo31]

@horbergaren well guitar just plays at what the concert pitch is so if concert is c# u play c#

[horbergaren]

@drayo31 and how do i know what a real c# is? if i use my chromatic tuner and it says it is a c#, is that the right one then?

[MoarKrabsWithGuns]

i play this

[BOSEROCKS1]

THAT GUY SUCKS AT PLAYING THE SAX... 

[MrBendyStraws]

hey guys i need some help i dont know what to choose between a tenor or an alto for school band

[blummedia]

@MrBendyStraws One weighs more than the other and more girls play Alto....."One time in band camp"..... something to think about. Then swiping Clarinet or Trumpet sheet music parts is something I did as a Tenor player in school which was fun. Do you know how many of each will be in the class you will take? First Chair usually gets the best parts to play.

[spartucas588]

u look like a fag when u blow into the sax

[superbluepaint]

I'm a clarinet player and I'm doing jazz band for the first year but I can't play clarinet so I'm going to learn tenor sax over the summer :DDD

[guitarmaster43214321]

i already play this...its pretty easy once ur into it

[kelvieten]

Im playing that next year

[SavingRick]

Check out on my page my latest video upload of "Papa's got a brand new bag" and tell me what you think of my daughter on tenor sax... About 2 min in is her 37 measure solo...

[JiggaWhere]

Picked up my sax today after 7 years.

This dude's pitch is off.

[FiyaminGuitarGuy]

TONE QUALITY, im sorry thats horriable, the pitch is everywhere, it keeps going flat to sharp everytime.... sounds like crap,

[perfectdarkzero01]

i can play those notes better than that guy and im in beggining band :|

[autumnwind94]

hi could you tell me how to bite my reed?

[TehWerewolf]

you dont bite it at all ^^ just but your lips on it but not your teth ^^

[severussnapeforlife]

I have played tenor for 10 years now. I played clarinet for 15 years. wow i could teach this video in my sleep.

[ClueLou]

I asked my stepfather about playing this horn. feels like I torn up my lungs playing it.

[cpolice1997]

i play tenor i 11 i made region in SC

[sabeshemso1]

Dont make shit up

[SaxophoneProductions]

liar I'm 15 and im in all-SC -___-

not only that, you're not allowed at age 11

[pbjluver456]

is the tenor much bigger than the alto? cuz it looks about the same size

[ItsallaboutTrevor]

it's bigger

and heavier

[WingedTigerGuy]

yes it's bigger

[badboy1233411]

@pbjluver456

tenor sax is way bigger then the alto

even the box holding it is bigger

[firepheonix213]

man its alll about the alto(but he really needs to tune his sax....)

[hoodyboy15]

@firepheonix213 i play tenor sax but don't know how to tune it

how can you tune it

[SavageTeeh]

@hoodyboy15 Yhue Push Your Mouthpiece In If Your Flat & Pull Out If Your Sharp.

[jsaxophone1]

you need to tune that

[TheScreamingCarrot]

Im a piano player who plays strings and flute and sings. I just got a borrowed tenor sax last night with no reed so the stuff about fingering is good however his tone is aweful.

[derkyin]

horrible tone quality on this video. the way to have perfect tone quality guaranteed, (i play tenor) is to start to make yourself yawn (this opens the throat better) and then start to blow. and like mtownboy13 said, play from ur stomach and not ur lungs. this works every time. ;D

[LoSeRrOcKiNoN]

this is helpful.

i play trumpet, but my band director wanted me to learn tenor for jazzband.

he gave me a tenor on tuesday, and wants it learned by today.

i can make sound on it, i just need the fingerings now XD!

This video did help me with keeping my air consistent and stuff though.

Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[tubiee255]

baritone is king of all!!

[mtownboy13]

im pretty sure hes a great sax player.. but that tone is something ive never heard before, sounds like he isnt putting enought good quality air into the horn. if you are a beginner, one really good tip that i can give you is to not breathe from your lungs, but from your stomach. and make sure your throat is open.

[vlunney]

this takes me back: maybe I'll give it another shot:)good vid:)

[1357DA]

i love playing tenor saxophone..i have alt and tenor..i love both,but tenor is better<3

[chaz3345]

DOWN WITH ALTOS! UP WITH TENORS!

[blummedia]

@chaz3345 I have two C Melody Saxophones. I can play off the piano and guitar parts without transposing. :-)

[rctlover1]

@chaz3345 ok

[Sierra5644]

@chaz3345 i play the alto sax so up with the altos hunz{not tryna be rude}

[kukeleku100]

@chaz3345

not true

[megamind11]

@chaz3345 fuck all tenors

[pinkcat488]

thanks!

u just started playing and it really helped!

[MARSA90210]

what kind of tenor sax do u play i play Bb and the starting note sounds nothing like that ???

[antibandgeek]

i know he sounds a little out of tune, but equally you might not be in tune with his sax. Try moving the mouth piece further in or pulling out a little til the pitch matches. Its also how your mouth is positioned. (sorry if you already knew this) good luck :)

[ilymorethenwords94]

i love playing tenor even though i have to use more breath i run out of breath more easily but im working on it with my music teacher

[gerardjunky]

lol, i started on the flute so i have the opposite problem. i have to much breath.

[iDamieon15]

Tenor is really fun :)

[iDamieon15]

Ive been playing Tenor for my fourth year and it seems when I get nervous and play a solo or something , my lips start to shake and vibrate and it makes my sound really weird . Any help on that ?

[abeast99]
