  • We don't need to know what key opens what, just play the scalee

  • @wim35769 i think it's the alternative fingering

  • worst teacher ever

  • @wim35769 Its for trilling

  • Oh my god, that was horrible. Terrible intonation, couldn't even reach the low C correctly, and the vibrato on the high C just sounded terrible. I only played tenor sax in middle school and high school, but I could do a better job than this guy.

  • @xxFuzzyMonkies123xx there are multiple c# fingerings. i have played that thing for one year and i know that. not to be rude or antyhing.

  • These are the wrong fingerings, a C# is all open, no keys pressed, jeez... I play turbot saxophone and I've only been playing for 2 years and I even know this stuff and this guy is like 40 something...

  • Never heard of the side f#? This is for certain NOT the right fingering.....

  • thats a pretty tricked out neck strap, i only have the one that litterally goes around the neck, havent see the one with the arm yet.

  • @TheRetroSax intonation needs work.
