In this part of Canada where I live, if I did overtones on the neck like Jamie does then every bull elk within a 10 mile radius would come running my way with love in his eyes. 😂😂😂
Ha! 🤣
Interestingly enough, one of the greatest masters of the Altissimo, Lenny Pickett ‘thinks’ it’s about airspeed. As Jamie points out, so long as we ‘get it,’ it doesn’t much matter how we visualize what we’re doing.
That’s right. Good point. 👍🏻
I think "air pressure" means more than "air speed". It's possible to feel air pressure in your mouth, throat, and lungs and it effects what note come out. How can anyone know their airspeed while they are playing??
For a while, I devoted a good amount of practice time to overtones in hopes of being able to play altissimo and was unsuccessful. I still practise overtones from time to time but, after more than 20 years, have pretty much given up hope of ever playing altissimo. After watching this video, I tried getting overtones with just my neck and mouthpiece and couldn’t get above the first overtone. However, focusing on shaping my oral cavity in the manner shown in the video is helping with my overtones. I had been arching my tongue as if to make an “ee” sound. Now I drop my tongue, and the overtones often come more easily.
Boom!💥
Great advice. I’ve always advocated learning stuff with just neck and mouthpiece before complicating things with the body of the sax.
Glad it was helpful!
Incredible lesson! Amazing skills demonstrated! The "in the throat" camera was gross, but also educational.
FYI that wasn’t me!!
Finally getting a sense of what sirvalor means when he talks about air speed for the second octave, the resistance on the reed increases a ton, so the reed feels like it wants to close even with equivalent pressure from the embouchure so you have to push your air stream harder which feels faster when in reality the air probably isn't speeding up at all in that range (possibly slowing, as I know you've mentioned before). edit* in the second octave my tongue is lightly covering the sides of the reed to only let the center vibrate, if I'm thinking about it. It's like you're trying to shoot air down a coffee stirrer made from your tongue on the reed.
Wow. That’s crazy!
I've recently broken into altissimo after overtone work starting to pay off. Will try the crook thing. Bit worried about neighbours. Tips welcome.
Talk to them. Get an iso booth!
Great video for showing how altissimo is actually played, somehow getting a camera inside as it happens. 3:36 This shows how throat and tongue position is so much more important than fingerings. (It's just a neck, no keys)
👍🏻
Using a sax neck like this can take the place of one of those keyless saxophones (which are surprisingly expensive)
Right. Like Sigurd’s one?
Excellent description on training your altissimo notes. Thank you Jamie.
P.S. Don't forget to thank your dentist for recording the video of your tonsils
Ha!
If you’re tuning the resonant frequency with your vocal tract as you play higher, then I wonder why the space in your vocal tract keeps getting larger as you play higher?
Great question. That is well above my pay grade to answer though I’m afraid!!
Wow! Pretty much your limit...I'll be happy if I ever get that 1st octave overtones. Great video, thanks.
You can do it!
OMG ~ INCREDIBLE THROATAGE!! We simply and fundamentally love you Jamie! You are ever so kind! Higher and higher we soar!! Our hearts will go on! Yay, lead me to your Cavern!! Thank you for your message to all the peoples. Say AH. Here's the really interesting thang: Sir ValorSax is sure gonna be blown away by your altisimistic adroitness! 4 sure!! Ya! Heya.Why does your tongue hate going to the dentist?
It always leaves feeling depressed! 🙂 #ThankingYouJamie #ThroatCam
Ha! Missed you. 😘
Great tutorial, Mr Anderson! Very useful, as always. Thank you very much. Your lessons give to me a lot of help.
🙏🏻
Played for nearly 9 years and that’s the first I’ve ever seen inside someone’s mouth while playing, disgusting but interesting and educational none the less 😂😂😂
Yup. It wasn’t my mouth btw! 🤣
Thanks a lot.Your videos always help me.❤
You're welcome 😊
Fantastic! Thanks Jamie!
My pleasure!
Grato pelos vídeos...todos são excelentes!!! No aguardo dos vídeos sobre superagudos no sax soprano. Um abraço.
You might be waiting a while for that! 😂
I play on just the neck like at 2:11 as a warm-up for my reed and embouchre before a show. I can play it in my car, so no one else has to hear the extreme high notes. 💥 I can get up to four octaves range on my tenor neck, and the top octave is like a scale. (using a Beg Larsen metal 130/0 SMS mouthpiece)
Very Lenny set up!
@@GetYourSaxTogether Even after I got the Lenny Pickett setup it took about a year for me to get the full 5 1/2 octave plus range with it.
I've seen many of Lenny's interviews and clinics and he gives a lot of information about altissimo but doesn't really say how he reaches the top octave of his range that he's famous for.
I reach my highest notes with a combination of tightening the embouchre, increasing air pressure, and blowing in the mouthpiece a little sideways, as in this video: ruclips.net/video/UwgfUI9PMWg/видео.htmlsi=xcydKHfehnPo_xGb (The highest octave is all low Bb overtones)
Nice video ! Seems like you are shaping the wave by changing the morphology - and selecting the particular wavelength
Yeah, in a real sense you’re increasing acoustic impedance in your vocal tract and tuning the resonant frequency.
When I slide up and down from very high notes, I sometimes hear/feel a clicking sound like the notes are resonating in my throat or ears.
@@GetYourSaxTogether makes sense - high/low pass filtering - it's amazing to be able to dynamically attenuate and get overtones or subtones - explanation makes it easier to experiment !!
Good one!
Thank you! Cheers Rob.
@@GetYourSaxTogether This exercise is going to take some time!
Does your voicing feel different on sop., alto, tenor, and bari as you play the first altissimo partial on the neck? Thanks!
Yeah I think so. Same principle though.
YA CRACKED MY COMPUTER MONITOR... 🤣😂
🤣
I'm probably unusual in that I play baritone (Yanagisawa 901), but none of the other saxes, so something (fingerings, etc.) aimed specifically in that direction would be appreciated.
Yeah. Fair point. I’m not particularly qualified re bari altissimo.
A baritone sax can work great for altissimo. I recommend practicing overtones on low A/Bb. In this video I played six octaves of range all with a low A fingering: ruclips.net/video/9hCc3H8Jjtw/видео.htmlsi=JXcotuboBi1iSW8K
Once you can learn to control the pitch by practicing overtones, you can better figure out what fingerings work best. Many baritone altissimo fingerings are different from the other saxes. I use altissimo fingerings for the first half octave, palm key overtones for the next octave or so, and low A overtones for the very highest notes.
Hitting altissimo for saxophonists has become almost like a right of passage. I see it like Musk’s desire to go to Mars. Cool but not entirely necessary.
Pretty much!
I’m lucky if I hit the high notes let alone getting altissimo 😂😂😂
🤣
The dog whisperer
🤣
Great video, but it was a mistake to watch while eating breakfast
😂it was pretty "disgusting" in a word😉
Sorry!
