YEAH TENOR SAXOPHONE 

[610ly]

Excellent!! You clearly have a bright future as a musician. I recently started on the tenor and will likely not achieve your level of playing, but I'm curious how long you have been playing?

[TheAndrewballantyne]

just learning how to play this. don't think i'll be this good for a while!

[SophisticatedSound]

Hal leonard book and cd. Pretty good!

[barba3gr]

Well done!!

[LaughingOTI80]

Can I tell you something... I can't imagine anything more exciting then research being done on the material of a mouthpiece. I honestly have to wonder if you're just making stuff up at this point. First you say it's all the musician technique attributing nothing to the mouthpiece, then you say it's the shape of the mouthpiece. I'm speaking from experience but have fun doing mouthpiece science with your chemistry set Poindexter.

[STILLAVRIL1]

You must be tiny, you make the alto look big.

[kahhhching]

is that a c melody sax??

[LaughingOTI80]

@kahhhching no thats a tenor, a c melody is usually silver for some reason and the bell comes up higher

[kahhhching]

@LaughingOTI80 but judging by the neck... it's not a tenor soooo

[LaughingOTI80]

@kahhhching Good catch. Wow maybe she is much shorter then she appears and it really is an alto.

[RB1US]

Nailed it technically. Bravo!

[Riccardo26450]

brava bel suono



[LaughingOTI80]

Try a metal mouthpiece for this song. They're great for songs like this that are traditionally based on bending and growling over arpegiated glissando.

[STILLAVRIL1]

@LaughingOTI80

The material of the mouthpiece will make no difference.

What you are referring to is attack, bending, growling and glissando.

[LaughingOTI80]

@STILLAVRIL1 I greatly disagree with you. I've got a couple decades of experience under my belt and in that experience the brightness of a metal mouthpiece allows for much more expressiveness and dynamic control then a rubber stamp piece. Yes you can do all of those techniques on any piece but they will sound much better on the correct piece.

[gayhax]

@LaughingOTI80 there has been a great amount of research done into whether the material a mouthpiece is made of makes a difference. IT DOES NOT. The tip opening and the baffle are the two biggest factors in the sound your mouthpiece makes.

You play the sax very good, the notes too. The emotional playing is ok, but I think the sax - instrument isn`t in your heart, right now. Feeling is always. This is not to learn. The sax is a instrument like your soul. Your body language is more boring as a festival.

[tuurvh200]

pretty good but you only play the notes

put some emotion in that saxophone

put some bends in between en a little bit of vibration

[anwachukwu]

this was pretty good, but try to some emotion into it

[robertvdheide]

nice take ,would be the cherry on top if the sax could growl on harlem nocturne,,its easyly done by using vocal cord while playng the sax,,great channel stranger

[boredwithusernames]

This is a very difficulp piece to play, and the sax is very difficult to master. Musical expression is individually interpretive, which is true of any Jazz piece, blues jazz especially, and the sax is one of the best instruments to express yourself with.

You did very well, don't let the negative comments discourage you.

[omegared339]

hmm... why does that alto sax. seem big??

[LydiaLuvsMJ]

@omegared339 thsts what i was thinking....

[Nathantherat1]

Massive room for expression as there is currently none at all!

[conn6m]

I like the way you started it off - different but it all went wrong at the 1st bridge then came back. interesting. I play this a lot myself in bands. I'll try your aproach the next time i do it .

[iKanSpell]

nice
