@@rbdshadow7272 you mean like the multitude of c# and b flat right? In that case you’ll be right, he probably didn’t have the time to show all of them lol
I would recommend you guys look up a fingering chart. It's drawn in a shorthand of the saxophone, but I think it's pretty intuitive. The best is having a private teacher of course. They can show you that the same note can be fingered multiple ways and how you might be better off using an alternative fingering depending on the musical phrase you are playing.
You learn G, A, B, C, and D. First 5. Then you branch off from there when you can get those 5 notes out consistently. Don't learn everything at once; you'll want to give up very much
I remember when I first got a saxophone and I was so confused with all the keys and a year of playing I understand now and its funny to look back on how confused I was lol
POV you just got a clarinet so you look up sax videos. Idk why I’m like this, when learning guitar I watch piano videos. I hope that means I’m gonna stick with it for 8 years like guitar
Do it in this order, 140 minutes a week.Only play on the neck for a week then full body.Then learn in this order G A B C D you can search the fingerings then you can practice easy songs. Every note say while playing. Lip curved covering your teeth goes on the reed then bite down on the top.This is how I learned but you should get a personal teacher as soon as you can
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 💕Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
i think its so funny all of these comments saying the fingerings are so hard, but the saxophone is pretty much one of the easiest wind instruments to learn, and probably the same with all in general. Unlike brass, we don’t have to change our embouchure nearly as much, only when we need to produce sound. And our fingerings are rather simple. Everything seems complicated when you’re new at it, but trust me, if 6th grade me could memorize and learn the fingerings, you can too.
Super helpful! Just got my sax yesterday and am beginning my journey. Becoming a repair tech right now and figured I should learn the thing first 😂 Thanks for the concise info!
Sax fingurings are some of the easiest though. Those high notes dont get used THAT often and most notes run down the instrument 1 is B 12 is A 123 G 1234 F 12345 E 123456 D Only c is weird put of the main 8 at just key 2 Everything else is just addition Bb is 1(B) + 4 / A# is 12(A) + Rside 1 G# is 123(G) + Pinkie top Gb/F# is 123(G) + 5 D# is 123456(D) + 7 C# once again weird is nothing. Thumb for octave up. And then below the scale has some differences, just think of closing up the isntrument for everything lower than low B Oh and picking alto usually means most somgs will be in the scale for you
im actually going to start to play saxophone after I saw a conspiraying youtube, its very cool to play the saxophone. if I'm correct the teacher was master something, Oogway thingy
No wonder people are confused. We have no indication of which octave these notes are. Not to mention your clef will be different than other instrument 😅
That’s the least in-tune so you should only use it when slurred or it transitions into a D. The way he showed is better, then 1 and the sub B key is second best.
I pulled up a random note generator and played whatever notes showed up there and just had the saxophone fingering chart on my wall lol update : I memorized all of my fingerings except my altissimo stuff
Don’t do this. Learn the naturals first. Then work your way round the circle of 5ths adding one accidental each time. You will remember where Bb is much quicker when you understand what Bb is and what it does. Flutes existed for thousands of years before keys were invented. There’s no rush to play in F# major
Friendly reminder that these fingerings are the same for alto sax and Bari sax so don’t worry my fellow sax players ❤
Alto has alternate fingerings
@@rbdshadow7272 alto and Bari have the same fingerings
@@gzsnotcool there are alternative fingerings that this guy doesn’t show
@@rbdshadow7272 you mean like the multitude of c# and b flat right? In that case you’ll be right, he probably didn’t have the time to show all of them lol
@@gzsnotcool yeah
Andddd.. this is the sign from the universe that I do not need to learn the sax..
Lmao same
if you learn complicated things long enough, you'll look back and ridicule yourself for how you thought it was gonna be hard
OOH naaa. Don't be scared 🤣🤣😂🤣
As I'm thinking it's not that hard to learn then this is the first video, first comment I see 😂💀🤌🏻
The way it was explained was very complicated, usually when you first learn you'll only use about 8 notes

Yes, but it depends on what sax you have.
Why not E F ?
@@coin777 Those are the next ones
Thank you bro
@@coin777Ask from George Washington
Therapist: "the left handed saxophone doesn't exist, it cant hurt you! "
The left handed saxophone:
It scares me to this day
after ive been playing for like 4 years almost, its cool to watch beginners grow
Wow that;s easy to remember. Thanks wise guy!
I juts remember last part that he said, F, the middle finger...
Are you attempting to be condescending? 😂
I remember when I first got a saxophone and I was so confused with all the keys and a year of playing I understand now and its funny to look back on how confused I was lol
There are so many more notes that are alternate fingerings to the ones he named
First my man helps destroy the ring of power, and now he's teaching sax??? Bless you Samwise Gamgee! 🙏
I learned to use the alternative fingering for Bb by using both index fingers
POV you just got a clarinet so you look up sax videos. Idk why I’m like this, when learning guitar I watch piano videos. I hope that means I’m gonna stick with it for 8 years like guitar
This is so easy to remember! Im going to get my own sax for my birthday this year :D
I really love this instrument so I went here to see if its easy to learn. And yes, i'll practice drums.
This is for tenor sax? If so can you do one for alto? Very helpful btw!
Fingering is the same for both
Do it in this order, 140 minutes a week.Only play on the neck for a week then full body.Then learn in this order G A B C D you can search the fingerings then you can practice easy songs. Every note say while playing. Lip curved covering your teeth goes on the reed then bite down on the top.This is how I learned but you should get a personal teacher as soon as you can
They are all the same even for bari sax
Yeah but this way is better
@@generalv1nce947 can agree that these are the fingerings even for bass sax
I just bought an alto yesterday, excited to learn
Hope you enjoy it!
im getting a saxophone for jazz band, but I might stick with drums...
What diabolical mind decided to make everything so complicated
Mr. Adolf Sax did
it is not complicated though
when you learn them progressively its impossible to forget
It's not that complicated this video is just about the worst possible way to learn it
After that make sure to learn some of the alt fingerings, they can come in handy in a lot of situations
Thanks I'll check this when mine arrived next week 😊
Wow ty so much i am in 4th grade and my consert is in 3weeks
The creator of this clip is saxspy. This is just reposted. Go check him out for more helpful tips and show him some support.
thank you!
i love how so many people here are talking about how hard the sax is when in reality it’s by far the easiest woodwind
Both can be true imo.
guys learn one at a time and then gradually learn another, and learn what it looks like on a stave at the same time for ease
As someone with perfect pitch the notes on this break all logic in my brain.
Same because of the wind you blow into the sax so the volume depends on your breath
Same lol I can read sax music and understand it but this uh
C# u can also play with no fingers in on the sax
Am i the only one that plays b flat as 1st and 1st

For C sharp for beginners in my opinion it’s easier to play C sharp in the second way. Which is to just not push down any keys.

😮 wow I just picked mine up 5 days ago and I’ve been learning fast! 😅 let’s goooo 🎉
Jesus man i was thinking about smooth jazz. Just forget it. I will just hmm or whistle
Bro for bflat just do 1top and bottom middle it is the best note for it
i play the alto and want to move up to the tenor thanks ill remember this
You should also teach bis Bb bc it’s equally as important as side
Which saxophone for Beginners
I want to learn
Plz guide me
Leaving this comment as a way to remember this. Gradually like my comment so i can get the notification
ive got some more reels up!
Note: Some have a high F# key! It's usually somewhere around the right of the E/D keys
You could also do Bb Bizz key but I guess that is considered more advanced fingering.
Yeah... I'll just stick with guitar for now
🤣🤣🤣👌
Sax fingurings are some of the easiest though.
Those high notes dont get used THAT often and most notes run down the instrument
1 is B
12 is A
123 G
1234 F
12345 E
123456 D
Only c is weird put of the main 8 at just key 2
Everything else is just addition
Bb is 1(B) + 4 / A# is 12(A) + Rside 1
G# is 123(G) + Pinkie top
Gb/F# is 123(G) + 5
D# is 123456(D) + 7
C# once again weird is nothing.
Thumb for octave up.
And then below the scale has some differences, just think of closing up the isntrument for everything lower than low B
Oh and picking alto usually means most somgs will be in the scale for you
Fr bro... I think my brain isn't fit for the sax
As a Sax player, guitar seems way harder.
@@Sip_Dhitjust picked one up today I love how you explained this thanks
Are there any links to information on what order you should learn what things on Saxophone ?
I played alto last year in 6th now I'm in 7 and going to play tenor sax
It’s superior
@@Riptide_405Nah, you don’t get melody.
@@meamcomorod but at least we get it right
I did the same except im in high school
I'm in 6th and play the trumpet
Thanks for sharing my video! follow me for more sax tips!
Thanks this REALLY helped
Youre welcome :)
Alto and Bari are Eb instruments.. Tenor and Soprano are Bb instruments.
Saxophone is like the Clarinet actually
Lol I didn't believe it until I started playing the sax 😅
im actually going to start to play saxophone after I saw a conspiraying youtube, its very cool to play the saxophone. if I'm correct the teacher was master something, Oogway thingy
Tysm this help me out sooooooo much 😊
I'm so glad!
I learned these in less than a hour
the image is inverted like in a mirror
lol this would be helpful if there was a better way to visualize this, but thank you anyway haha
I've been playing sax for 3 years why did I watch the whole thing?
Hi
Am a beginner pls I need more lessons to improve my skills
How to play concert F# scale for band test tomorrow?
No wonder people are confused. We have no indication of which octave these notes are. Not to mention your clef will be different than other instrument 😅
Yep gonna pick up that Triangle again…
I look this more harder than violin
REMINDER‼️🚨‼️ this is only the notes for that type of sax, I don’t know for others but alto sax is not the same notes
You forgot f# you use the claw key along with the fingerings for the high f
My first day took me 20 minutes
Strange every sax ive ever met including myself prefers Bb as 14 not 12 side1 unless said person has to trill A to Bb alot
The 12 side1 has a slightly better tone and is more in tune
I always wanted to play the saxophone, but the veins in my hands hurt doing all that so I’m picking up the trumpet
wow... you just took away my interest in learning the sax... thanks buddy
Why am I watching this I’ve been playing sax for 3 years💀
I prefer 1 and 1 for Bb
That’s the least in-tune so you should only use it when slurred or it transitions into a D. The way he showed is better, then 1 and the sub B key is second best.
Apparently I can play one G and now I don’t even understand how I’m suppose to learn other keys
❤❤😊
There's absolutely no use in learning anything above high C until you've progrossed quite a bit
Beginners will run 🏃♀️ 🏃
THE SOURCE!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ive played for 5 years and didnt know some of these
Very helpful, lol. Get a fingering chart pdf ppl ..
Oh nah…I’m never gonna be able to learn this lol. My bass only has 4 strings 😅
Bis key b-flat supreme
Nice awesome
Ah yes finally the sax
I want to learn how but im scared and i dont know which saxophone should i get. Please help
Is there a link where I can see all those 32 keys in a picture form? Cant really see properly which fingers were pressed with the video.
I want to learn it.
I don't have saxophone. Can you help me to get it? I'm in Africa in Rwanda country in Kigali city. Thanks
I pulled up a random note generator and played whatever notes showed up there and just had the saxophone fingering chart on my wall lol
update : I memorized all of my fingerings except my altissimo stuff
told my buddy i’d play tenor sax w him. god kill me.
b flat is better to play as 1 & 1 because it’s easier to flow with than side key
...i got my current sax 8 years ago, should i still look for a private teacher?
Something I've never understood, why teach Bb with the side key and not with the bis key?
Hi dear sir
I will learn this 😐
I dont even have a saxophone why am i watching this?
I have always used front b flat. Does anybody recommend side?
Whats playing in the background i couldnt find
[Scream]
try playing i’m osama on it if it’s possible
People who have used the sax for over 2 years team
Hey,thats easy!
what about the other keys like fs key and the side c key 😜
Don’t do this. Learn the naturals first. Then work your way round the circle of 5ths adding one accidental each time. You will remember where Bb is much quicker when you understand what Bb is and what it does.
Flutes existed for thousands of years before keys were invented.
There’s no rush to play in F# major
So I understood it is not made for me 😂
i am confused…
i litteraly just got my sax.. maybe i should stick to clarinet!
HOW CAN I GET A SHEET WITH THE FINGER ON IT
