How to Play Tenor Saxophone : Playing a Major Scale on the Tenor Saxophone

[Colombianosexy96]

Scales are such a pain. My teacher is on his man period every freaking day about them. I can play difficult stuff without them so whats the point? it just ticks me off. Why ruin what you love to do (playing tenor) with STUPID SCALES. Sorry had to vent :P Awesome video though!

[1994newnew]

i just got my tenor saxophone today, and I asked my teacher for an alto. Well I guess he sort of proved that a tenor is just as good

[coltrainification]

My friend: So are you doing Alto Sax this year?

Me: Nah man, alto's are SO mainstream. :)

[atheawesome412]

I play clarinet btw awesome instument but I have troubles tucking in my bottom lip so my teacher recommended me to play tenor

[jddenham]

While I can appreciate the time & effort you took in demonstrating this scale to the novice, if a beginning musician lacks the effort to research and learn this on their own . . . . they won't be much of a musician. Got any fun stuff show-off videos?

[BeatleBooshPoppycock]

Lol I play the clarinet and my teacher is begging me to play tenor sax for next year so I'm getting it within a week

[Kramnosnits]

alto's suck.... just like the alto's prime exponant Slick Willy.

[BucketOfJunk]

my alto pisses me off badly sometimes cant even play my g scale with correct ommuature without skwanking my tenor never lets me down

[SuperGamerCentral]

does anyone know what key his saxophone is tuned in?

[macintosh315]

@SuperGamerCentral Bb

[RJA10001]

I'm getting my tenor on this thursday!!!!!so excited

[streetskating123]

agh G was sharp! good instructional video... i think they could've done better with the angles on the camera and less of him rambling

[pazjoe16]

its a Bflat scale being played

[thepeople1325]

@pazjoe16 its concert Bb, but for tenor sax its their C

[NestorHQ666]

I love it!! :D

[TheOreoDude123]

what kind of saxophone player r u learn yur notes loll

[nateo5]

Yo man, Im trying not to judge you just by scales but you should really invest some time in long tones. Your G's were very sharp.

Do some long tone studies every day

BTW- Expert village is really starting to piss me off

[steebelmoan]

I know what you mean man.

Some of these vids really piss me off.

These so called experts giving poor advice on things they barely know.

[rangevsmager]

your not very good >.>

[Siscast]

uh, he was showing how to play scales. what do you mean his not good...

[rangevsmager]

Scales arent hard....lmao

[Siscast]

duh, thats my point. You can't say that he is not good or good just by watching him play scales.

[rangevsmager]

he has terrible sound and tone

[ackjazz707]

@Siscast I beg to differ... 

[triscuitcrackers]

@ackjazz707 yes sir

[AlkyCeej]

the whole point of this vid is to show how you play a scale not just someone showing off, i just learned how to play because of this guy and i don't get proper lessons so he's doing a damn fine job!

[Alastair6]

Wow!

[12124343]

I can't hit low c or d... it keeps going up an octave.

[sonnystitt123]

relax ur throat =)

[rhumbaphone]

your horn might have a leak. run a light through it or have a repair tech look at it.

[damianoitaliano89]

what a sound:D

[HaloArchive]

Support that high B :)

[sromag]

That's really good. It's a pain... With the octave key pressed down,I find D E F really quiet.. well,mainly D and E.

And on top of that, they sometimes slide down into the lower octave.

[brsurferbrasil]

try puting more air into ur sax it might help...

[cs512tr]

nice instructional vid.
