My Little Suede Shoes play-a-long alto sax

I´m trying to improve my skills but i´m feeling that i need to keep my fingers on the keys and not put them up, am i right? I´m playig since 2006 and i´m trying to get into the jazz and groove stuff.
This is my first sax video on youtube.
I keep on practicing...

Hey man, youre tone rides a little on the "higher" edge which tends to give alto players a whiny-sort of tone. That was a big issue for me when I started to play a lot of jazz. But if you keep your throat really open and your jaw relaxed you can get a much more controlled and consistent sound. However though, if you've been playing for two years, damn man good for you. You wouldn't be getting all the comments if someone didnt think you could do it. Keep up the good work!

thanks dude!

You are doing great. I hope that you are having fun whiel you learn this great instrument.  My advice is to practice at half tempo, so that you can work on scales and intonation. Your solo work shows lots of creativity and promise.

I´ll practice.

Thanks!

good tone, like they said, losen ur jaws a bit. also what i notice carefull with those lip slurs, bit to harsh. watch when you end/start notes too, starts out strong at times sometimes weak, same with endings.

yu can do it. ive been playing for many years, and stoped 2 years ago, i miss it alot.
