I’m not a saxophon-ist?, musician, or even artistic but you're so likable and entertaining and this sax bromance hype one another thing is the most heartwarming thing I've seen all month.
Both you and Pollack are so original and funny, and both such phenomenal players! A saxophone player giving a breakdown of the odd-ball humor of another saxophone player only happens, well, not often!
Glad to hear about the course. The one thing keeping me from learning how to actually improvise (as opposed to pressing keys and hoping it sounds good) is because I've never learned HOW to practice improv. You'll get a different answer from anyone you ask. Edit: Oh. It's $497. 😐
Agree👍 On occasions during my brief practice-sessions, I do discover different fingerings for the same altissimo note; it's sometimes by accident - courtesy of Jamie, an expert saxist as well as an honest and skillful motivator who encourages meaningful experimentation. How I do ❤️ all of Nathan's videos! Let's 👍 up Nathan on his Masters Achievement!
5:50-6:12 I still don’t sound that good and my inner monologue as I play sounds like the cheer from the crowd. No joke! 😅 When Dave threw that tenor I was hooked!
Howdy! Your favorite sax student here..... I made it to Incredible morning." Great video and great lesson offer........... can't wait to catch up soon. BTW, yes that harness scratched my sax, mostly the clear coat, but yes it does scratch, even with the fancy sock I made. I also use the Boston Sax harness. It's great.
“I wish I had that when I was in high school” It’s true, but holy moly do I hear people say this SO MUCH 😂😭. It’s kind of like how at family gatherings there is always that one person who says “man kids grow up so fast!” 😂 Great video though 🧵🎖👁️🥽💛
Your thumbnails are fine, no need to be worried. Still waiting on that classical snob vs jazz snob crossover. I wonder if you'll record yourself twice and do a dual thing, or just have a friend play the second snob part.
Just a tip please don’t play sax when your ill because you can just catch it again from using the same mouthpiece(so use you’re sick mouthpiece when your sick)
I’m not even going to lie, when you reacted to yourself at the jazz audition thing, you didn’t even sound that bad. It was pretty good. You had a good sound, and you played altissimo pretty well too. 👍
I really like this video☺🙏🔥💥🔥 as a saxophonist of over 20 years, I can honestly say that I've never really been a fan of all the dissonance in jazz although some of it can teach you a lot!!☺ I've always preferred music from Kenny G or Dave Koz or the like because I admire the vibrato, the passion, and the overall quality of the playing.☺ to me music is More Than Just spewing random notes, but about beauty, passion, quality, dexterity and sometimes Beauty is found in simplicity not in complexity. Anyway I'm learning a lot from your channel and thank you for sharing !! ☺I love your great sense of humor and you are sounding really brilliant on that saxophone!! 🌞☀🌞☺ Much much Love❤🎆🎇🎆
Prolly won’t read this but I seen you have have normal jazz labs shoulder strap I use the jazz labs pro and it dose not scratch my alto or my tenor you might wanna try that one
Hey man big fan of your videos ever since I was a junior in high school (graduated in 2019). Was wondering if you were ever gonna make reaction videos to high school jazz bands for instance in SC Wando High School
For some reason I thought Dave and Scott Paddock we're the same person so I didn't click his videos. It was only when Jamie put out his Caravan video that I realized they were different people. Ok maybe my eye sight isn't that great, but they have very different sounds.
Noooo....! I missed it! Here it is the week before thanksgiving and I just now watched this vid and missed getting this course.. T_T;; Sad Sax learner is Sad... But on the plus side, I'll check out his channel (read as 'Stalk him') and get what I hope to be a ton of new inspiration..!
@Saxologic I would rather fall into a trench. A trench is a long, narrow ditch. Since the main purpose of trenches in the military is to protect soldiers from shrapnel and bullets, they are not usually very deep. A trench might be around 8 feet deep. An abyss on the other hand is a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm. If I were to fall into a bottomless chasm, I would fall forever, and die of thirst. If the chasm was only seemingly bottomless, it would have to be deep enough for the bottom to not be visible. If I fell into this, I would die from the impact of hitting the bottom. If I were to fall into a trench, I could easily land upright on my feet. Also since trenches are narrow, I could extend my hands and use the walls of the trench to slow my fall, and even slowly lower myself to the bottom. If the trench were oceanic, I wouldn't even fall down into it, I could just swim up to the surface. So I would rather fall into a trench.
I was wondering if you could review the BetterSax Alto Sax? I’d love to get some more opinions on it so I can see for myself if I should buy it. Love the videos!
This is an amazing video. Please correct me if I am wrong and I realise there are many different ways of teaching/learning/playing an instrument, but isn't the first thing you learn when you are learning the saxophone is to not puff your cheeks out? (7:00)
Is there a collection of fun opening licks out there like Andrew Gould's opening line on cherokee in Chad LBs virtual band? Maybe you could make one for us :)
Hey Saxologic i'm a really big fan and i'm looking for some advice. I'm a senior in high school and I wanna make playing saxophone my career and life. I am almost completely self taught besides youtube videos. My school band is very, very, very bad and after going to 3 honors band events I have learned that my band director is a nice guy but not a good band director. I was wondering how do I get good in a band where i'm one of the 3 people taking it seriously. Please not that this is my second year in high school because i'm home schooled (I joined half way though last school year) and lastly I spent alot of time working because of my family is not the most well off. Thank you for reading this if you do you are my favorite youtuber!! :)
Wow - I am incredibly honored that you made this!! Thank you so much for this and for everything you do for the saxophone community!
You're the man!!
That’s crazy I was actually @Dave Pollack like 30th subscriber
I love you, Ryan Reynolds
Y’all are both gangster as hell!
Love you bro!
I’m not a saxophon-ist?, musician, or even artistic but you're so likable and entertaining and this sax bromance hype one another thing is the most heartwarming thing I've seen all month.
Dave is def a beast and his "Smooth Jazz" stuff is hialrious!
thank you!
I remember watching the smooth jazz series when I was younger and thinking it was hilarious, the first episode definitely caught me by surprise!
Austin Zhang's tenor audition was insane to me back then!! And still now
Both you and Pollack are so original and funny, and both such phenomenal players! A saxophone player giving a breakdown of the odd-ball humor of another saxophone player only happens, well, not often!
If you can, PLEASE post more often. Your videos are amazing. I need more.
one of my music teachers kevin sanchez said he went to college with dave pollack, mr. sanchez is a goat btw
oh man say what's up to him for me!
He’s a legend and his course looks AWESOME!! Highly recommended.
Glad to hear about the course. The one thing keeping me from learning how to actually improvise (as opposed to pressing keys and hoping it sounds good) is because I've never learned HOW to practice improv. You'll get a different answer from anyone you ask. Edit: Oh. It's $497. 😐
yeah, too good to b true
7:45 "There's a million fingers for altissimo notes" To truly expand your RANGE, you have to invent, YOUR OWN FINGERINGS! *OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE!*
Agree👍
On occasions during my brief practice-sessions, I do discover different fingerings for the same altissimo note; it's sometimes by accident - courtesy of Jamie, an expert saxist as well as an honest and skillful motivator who encourages meaningful experimentation.
How I do ❤️ all of Nathan's videos!
Let's 👍 up Nathan on his Masters Achievement!
9:10 god i love both of your channels, and seeing such a wholesome reaction brightens my day
Ah man, love how clean your playing is
5:50-6:12 I still don’t sound that good and my inner monologue as I play sounds like the cheer from the crowd. No joke! 😅
When Dave threw that tenor I was hooked!
The Jaxx font remark was so spot on
Love your sense of your humor! Sound great too!
This video is so wholesome. Love both you guys
the battles 2 addiction is real... awesome video!
Bro every video this guy makes is awsome
Nothing better than an endorsement from Nathan!
Dude best Advertising ever!

Awesome man, glad to hear you're doing well!! And I agree, the BSS harness is awesome.
BROOOOO no way we played flourishes in my band camp concert
Dude sounded better throwing his sax than I do playing mine
0:21 Secret Saxophone embouchure warm up (Professionals Do this all the time)

HEYA LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY MAN you got mad chops. And you’re funny as hell 😂

Wow! My mind has been blown! Big congrats on your subscriber numbers, though.
THAT CUSTOM EX IS BEAUTIFUL
THANKS
3:08 The photos bro 😂
Nice thumbnail poetry, Nathan.
YOO UR BACK!!!!
Can’t wait for the exII video
i jumped when he threw the tenor sax lol
8:40 I think I heard that transcription also from spyro gyra - morning dancing at the latter part of the song. Pardon me, still a beginner player
THE HEAD DENT AT 7:41 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ah another saxologic video, how exciting :)
I’m a long-time Pollack enjoyer as well! I got so excited until I realized I can very much not afford the course pack 😓
❤been following you for years now. Great content sir
Dave's pretty world class. Great entertainer and musician.
I really appreciate that!
9:27 was so great
Thanks for explaining all the humor because Im not a musician haha
0:21 okay buddy ok.
love the energy
welcome back
Thanks, amazing username!
7:58 what mouthpiece are you using
You missed the best bit of that Dave Pollack vid, the BALTO!
Just a tip please don’t play sax when your ill because you can just catch it again from using the same mouthpiece(so use you’re sick mouthpiece when your sick)
Wash the mouthpiece and you’ll be fine!

Yo happy national saxophone day!
My heart stopped when I saw him throw that Conn Tenor in the first video
why? it's an inferior instrument to the soprano
@@DavePollack Me personally I think the Bass is better, less screeching and alot more Testosterone
9:37 watch this at 0.25x speed
look at the bottom left of the video
Prolly won’t read this but I seen you have have normal jazz labs shoulder strap I use the jazz labs pro and it dose not scratch my alto or my tenor you might wanna try that one
Hey man big fan of your videos ever since I was a junior in high school (graduated in 2019). Was wondering if you were ever gonna make reaction videos to high school jazz bands for instance in SC Wando High School
I like that you explain everything😃
497 😱. I'm in highschool 💀
Austin went to my high school one year before I went there
Dave Pollak I looooooooovvvveeeee you!!
I have a Yamaha YTS-62 and it has a very crisp and beautiful sound I wish you could test it and here it for yourself
Amazing!
For some reason I thought Dave and Scott Paddock we're the same person so I didn't click his videos. It was only when Jamie put out his Caravan video that I realized they were different people. Ok maybe my eye sight isn't that great, but they have very different sounds.
TOTALLY different sounds, hahahah
That is well funny. 😂
Missed the dates...darnit
Just showed my tenor friend the Dave pollack vid and now he lives in fear of soprano players.
Mannnnn I missed you dude!!!!

So I would rather fall into a trench.
An incredibly insightful answer. My neurons have been equipped with the nutrition of knowledge. Thank you for your service, brother Bhatt.
9:43 *chin chin has risen*
9:34 i had the same reaction
In my books your number 1. Also I think the ritual got cut out
Thanks
What's your impression on this song "moanin" Charles Mingus it's my favourite jazz song from the few I heard
i'm motivated to either get high, play or do both after watching this vid. anyways love the format man 😄
Now that you're studying classical will your friend from highschool David be taking part in some of your videos??
I wish :'( but I live 12 hours from him. But there will be new "characters" to the Saxolore. Lol
@@Saxologic sadge. Just make a reaction video to his recital

Doesn't really matter, they mean don't puff out your cheeks like dizzy Gillespie. It's very minimal and if it mattered that much you would hear it.
I missed the deadline 😭😭😭

Is there a collection of fun opening licks out there like Andrew Gould's opening line on cherokee in Chad LBs virtual band? Maybe you could make one for us :)
Wow..... awesome
hippest middle school band director ever
Pleas update Sibelius, seeing the piss yellow made me want to cry.
