  • What were the notes to Wat he just played

  • I was blowin over G blues scale. (Concert Bb) Thanks for checkin it...

  • cheeeers dude... tooo feckin coooool... gonna take this out on my clarinet... any tips for liquorice stick?

  • @lsdvine Do it! Clarinetists deserve the growl just as much as the rest of us. The concepts are exactly the same: Using your lips; flutter tonguing (like rolling your Rs at tongue tip); and growling (rolling Rs at back of tongue), and singing through the mouthpiece while playing. Either way, there's really no limit to the nastiness we reed players are capable of. Just keep experimenting.

  • that was a kool tip!

  • @rayray50005000 Thanks for watching.

  • Wow your an amazing player! would be soo amazing if you could teach us vibrato :)

  • lmfao

    

  • Can't wait to try this at school on Monday

  • OMG IT'S CHEWBACCA!

  • i thought this was something to do with metal -_-

  • what kind of sax is that?

  • @Scar5999 My band teacher told me to hum aswell and I didn't get results either. Maybe it just isn't an effective method?

  • Man I wish I could play the blues like that.

  • @BlackOp458 Yes I Think i Might Be confusing the two methods , but if done with a certain way of humming it simulates growling

  • @Scar5999 humming works better on tenor... and you have to "OOH" the right note with your voice to get the maximum growl. For an even bigger growling effect,

    1.literally growl, going "khhhh", as if you were getting conjection out of the throat. Your throat may hurt if you do too much.

    2.go with flutter tonguing... which isn't quite "growling", and something you can't do if you can't roll the spanish R. I can't do it lol

  • @kcandfen Alot of people say that you can basically just overblow. Does that work? Like, is it essentially overblowing?

  • Trying this so hard and all I keep during is going hoarse. Any other little tidbit of info to help?

  • @Scar5999 Let me know if it helps! Thanks for watching

  • Thanks

    My teacher told me to hum while playing and that didnt work so ill try this

  • @BlackOp458 Thanks for checking it out, Cheers

  • @SenorrBoom Are you sure its not a fludder tounge??

  • awesome :D

  • @SenorrBoom I think my girlfriend said that to me once.

  • Perfect! There's always more ways. Glad you found one that works for you.
