Advanced Saxophone Exercises : Playing Saxophone with a Vibrato

[19lionkingfan]

man! All these videos stank like moldy cheese!!

[hv02jl1]

In the tags it says brass instruments, sax is a woodwind fool it uses a reed!

[shrillz]

I use the jaw vibrado for low notes and an airstream vibrado for high notes

[Alastair6]

Please don't listen to this idiot. He is a complete moron and knows nothing about saxophone playing. Typical expert village idiot.

[punkrockgoth1988]

Last I checked it was supposed to be the jaw only and not the embrochure.

[ArtD42]

In his defense, he could be right about the sixteenth notes... his metronome could be set at something around 25 bpm!

[redsnoop1]

hes not the best but he knows the difference between 8th and 16th notes. idk what your talking about

[stephenbythmusic]

"It's not about changing the pitch of the note, it's about changing the overtone." I have never seen a video featuring such a dumb amateur of sax, let alone music. Wow..

[KingChezTheFirst]

tool

[MMSVRTD]

why do u look cross like u dont want to be there?

[TYLERKLING]

@gilbertarron24: I think you make a great point with the mention of diaphragm vibrato, although I haven't seen any mention of it in any woodwind technique videos.

[TYLERKLING]

This guy has no freaking idea what he is talking about! He set the metronome to eights and said sixteenths! He using overtones as an example for vibrato?! And I save the worst for last! In the descrition, it says he is a DJ!!! Is this honestly the best saxophonist e- how could find?!

[tonytheyesfan]

dont talk about things you dont understand.

[Bestbuysax]

vibrato is........um....lol

[MegaBadMoFo]

WHAT A DICK!

[steebelmoan]

Overtones? ?

Really?...these videos makes me angry

[RoGuExXxAsSaSiN]

Those are not 16th notes...they are 8th notes...OMG E-How seems to hire retarded bastards

[dukesux1215]

you should be embarassed. please stop teaching an instrument you yourself have not come close to mastering.

[yardandnewk]

You're playing 8th notes jack ass.

[MrLeoparker]

Pleeeaaaaasee stop! Expert Village is doing way more damage than good with crappy videos such as this. 16th notes!...hilarious. And what a big beautiful sound! Oh my god....this is incredible.

[queekers]

Think of vibrato as lowering the pitch slightly and going back up to the correct pitch. do not, NOT, go sharp when doing vibrato you DUMB FUCKS lol

[valvetrom]

wouldn't it be best to listen to good players?,choose 1 you like, Zoot Sims or Stan Getz

or Dave Sunborn, just listen,listen,listen and emulate

[yumpter]

haha he was playing 8th notes

[gilbertaaron24]

wow so much stuff about this video is wrong!!!

1. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLASSICAL SAXOPHONE (NEVER SHOULD IT BE IN AN ORCHESTRA)

2. id rather use my diaphram (sp?) than my jaw cause i can control my tuning better

3. 16th notes eh? THOSE WERE 8th NOTES!

4.VAH VAH VAH? u dont tongue vibrado it happens very flowingly

5. was that really vibrado? sounded like a dying goose sorry =/

[PassMyJoint]

agree with you man... they say expert village... but this guy hasnt got a clue.

[lostintravise]

Sixteenth notes? Seriously? ... Wow. Try to get note values right before you start teaching freaking vibrato -- sheesh.

[onomatopaeia]

hahaha 16th notes....oh gosh...

It is embarrassing to hear a music teacher using incorrect terminology like that. However, the suggestion to practice vibrato with a metronome is good.

[Garutun]

he doesn't know the difference between 16th notes and 8th notes. LOL. don't listen to him.

[speedboosty101]

@Garutun the retardophone! lol! i wonder what the retardophone sounds like

[Kalsno]

for someones who is trying to learn how to vibrato, i must say -- this video was not very informative

:P

[jzer21]

Another gem from ExpertVillage. What scares me is that there are probably saxophonists self-teaching themselves by these videos.

[oneoftwo7]

The jaw is moving but the embouchure does not change. He played vibrato with an eighth note, not a sixteenth. DO use a metronome, and even a tuner to be sure you are keeping the pitch close to in tune. Start using vibrato slowly, almost like bending a note, which he said is wrong. But it is not, because the only way to truely learn vibrato is by starting really slow with a metronome and speeding it up gradually. You can not learn it over night. Nor can you "get it pretty tight pretty quickly."

[Trixxterboy]

yeah that guy was kinda dumb. not an expert. i like practicing triplets

[IaNtHeJaCkSoN08]

After about 4 years of playing, I still, still cannot master the art of vibrato on a saxophone.

[Trixxterboy]

4 years of playing is different from 4 years of practicing

[HolyNinja1228]

LOL lan just got BURNED!

[Geoff]

Having trouble practicing this one (on an alto sax). Is the lower lip supposed to be moving at all, when it is pressed against the reed, as you move the lower jaw up and down?

[Trixxterboy]

your lip is whats in contact with the reed so yes.
