  • 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!

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

  • 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!

  • 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

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

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • @ackjazz707 yes sir
