I bought a saxophone 4 months ago,With Absolutely no musical knowledge whatsoever. Can I just say a massive "Thanks" Alongside my lessons your videos are an inspiration. I can't play that much 😂 But I'm getting there .
Thanks a lot for sharing the technique of the rolling tongue. After your lesson I noticed that this the signature growl of Jr. Walker. I really enjoy your channel. Cheers
You have very useful videos. I've seen several of them and I found all of them very clear. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! I would like to know if it would be possible to make a video explaining the kind noises and effects in the style of Pharoah Sanders. That would be great!
Yeahhh ... das funktioniert perfekt 🤩 Danke für die super Erklärung. Du bist der verrückteste Saxophone Lehrer 🤘 Ich bin so begeistert, leider ist mein Englisch nicht so gut, um an deinem Unterricht teilzunehmen. 😉
Hi Andy - Thanks for the suggestion. Yeh, I did think of that one actually. Do you mean the actual melody, or the solo? Melody is much easier than the solo for most people! I was lucky enough to play this tune a couple of times with Average White Band guitarist Hamish Stuart! Mega funky.
Amazing player. Can I ask for some advice please, been playing tenor sax on a yana t901 for about a year on the stock mouthpiece, I was thinking of upgrading to an otto link super tone master the new ones would you suggest a 6 or a 6 star I'm an adult. Just play at home jazz blues pop so dont want anything loud. see you play an otto link. Thanks very much. Keep the video's up they are great.
Andrew Wright - well I play a vintage otto link 8* “Florida” model from the 60s with a 3 or 3.5 red java reed, but I don’t think it matters that much if you get a modern one or if it’s 6 or 6* or whatever. You can still get a good sound. I’d advise going to a shop and trying out a fee and buying the one that feels best for YOU.
I have a question: A lot of times I hear a saxophone player playing with mildly raspy sound, but I'm not sure if it's actually growling or they just gets some amount of distortion somehow. This is mostly on tenor btw. So my question is: Is it possible to play with some amount of rasp in the sound without actually growling? Or is it that those players are just growling all the time?
I have difficulty humming a different note than I a playing, as I am usually thinking (or singing) the note I play in my head. The tongue trill roll works, but it is usually too overboard for the growl I want.
I've looked at a few videos now and they are all mostly seem to be playing the tenor sax when doing this trick, I'm wondering if this trick works on bari sax?

The second technique has actually got its own name, it’s called flutter tonguing.
Yeh, that’s right. Thanks.
Thanks for this tip Jamie !
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)
Something I tried to do for a long time This video helped me crack it

Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
3:25 sadly tongue rolling is One Step Beyond my capabilities despite 50-odd years of attempting it 😥.
So, method 1 it is 😎👍
That’ll work!
I'm in the same boat. Good thing we're not Spanish!
Hi Jamie, are you planning on putting together a video for "Pick up the Pieces"? Thanks, Love the Lessons BTW

Get Your Sax Together cool the melody would be cool and the solo would be even cooler 😎
Andy Brookes - ok. It’s on “the list”!
Get Your Sax Together legend!!!! Love your videos. Thank you

they're growling all the time. you can't really growl without growl if you know what I mean!
I have difficulty humming a different note than I a playing, as I am usually thinking (or singing) the note I play in my head. The tongue trill roll works, but it is usually too overboard for the growl I want.
Hi Rob, try humming the note first in your throat before you blow the sax - see if that helps.
@@GetYourSaxTogether Thanks! That works!
@@robstevens9590 awesome!
Is it "growling* the sax tenor's timber of Gato Barbieri?
Yes. Barbieri's growl was legendary.
I've looked at a few videos now and they are all mostly seem to be playing the tenor sax when doing this trick, I'm wondering if this trick works on bari sax?
Yeh, for sure. This works on all saxes!
Is gurgling part of it too
Em, if you want! 🤣
Do you have to use a jazz mouthpiece for this
Nope.
In a way, it is kind of like "Tongueing" on a Trumpet. Ta Ta Ta. Your video explains a lot to me.
Glad it was helpful!
does it matter what size reed
You just use whatever Reed you normally use. The growl is in your throat and reeds don’t matter for this really.
Do you respond to all coments
Try to!
Hey! I know this is old but im reallyyy struggling with the first method still, any tips? I’ll try to start humming while i play but nothing comes out
Join my inner circle and I can hook you up!
How do I represent "Growl on Sax" in the score?
Good question. I do a wide away line above and write "growl"! There's nothing official I don't think.
I'm having trouble rolling my tongue while playing and not hitting the Reed
Yeh, keep your tongue in the top of your mouth.
how do you keep your tongue off the reed while rolling the tongue?
Put it in the roof of your mouth.
subbed ;-)
Thanks for subbing!
That makes my face feel funny and seems to take more air away
Practice practice practice!
Crikey I've never been able to roll my r's! sounds like bad gargling...
🤣
First :)
roni - 👍🏻
Never could roll my tongue. This got me in trouble in Italy, mispronunciation is embarassing!
lol Yeh, some people can't.
It took you one minute and ten seconds to get to the point
That’s pretty good for RUclips! 🤣
