God Ethan is such a damn good melodicist, through his solo here he rarely leaves the Minor Pentatonic Scale ((a.k.a. Blues Scale)) and yet still builts such a melody that it seems like he could play on it for hours.........jeez...this is a perfect example of how to build a solo in .49 seconds!
nice! i was there! haha im from gladstone in so-cal and we sat in the front row on the right side. but yeah nice sound, no wonder you guys beat us. but dont worry, we'll come back next year =]
i auditioned on alto, but he said if he likes my alto audition better than seans(idk if thats possible) then ill be playing bari, if he likes my alto audition better than the others, ill probably be playing 2nd alto next to you. idk yet. did have have fun in 2nd period with eric's N64?
mark6tenor, haha youre funny. deth is getting angry that we tell him he's not gonna make it. he might you know. but we dont know. i better go practice.
Lols flaming is fun huh guys. Ohh, I didn't realize this video was about ethan's solo... not about saying whose gonna make it or not. Just throwing it out there. So stick to the video. GO BAND
hey deth obviously practicing whatever the hell you say ur practicing will make u better but they are better players you. Theres nothing you can do about that. Just keep practicing what ur doing. if what ur practicing is actually making u a better player.
well, no freshman are allowed in our jazz one band. too much pressure says most people. butm i dont know results yet, i am hoping that ill make 2nd, but ya never know. thx anyway
OMG, why does eveyone say that, you know, if you practice enough, which i've been playing for about 3 hours a day, for the past 2 months, if you practice enough, you can make it. asses!
well, for the past couple of weeks i've been practice 3 hours a day. is that enough angel. ethan status is like 5 hours weekdays, and like 7 weekends. a couple times, hes practiced nonstop for 12 hours, he doesnt do it alot, just sometimes.
Great job soprano sax on your solo. Nice chops and sound. I can't believe you are in high school!

Hoping that this does not offend Ethan in any way:
Does anyone know what equipment Ethan Helm uses?
-sax
-mouthpiece/ ligature
-reed
josephrr92 3 years ago
-he has a yamaha custom alto, the old ones from the 90s when they were better. soprano i don't know
-mouthpiece is a meyer of some size, and hes had some work done on it i think. soprano moutpiece is a selmer E i think
-reed for alto Rico jazz selects 3m. dunno for soprano
