Great vid i always wondered how sax players got that jazz sound on sax that was almost like using those drum brushes to swirl on a drum to make pink noise but on sax, thought it might have been spit in the mouthpiece or something lol. This really explained it cool technique
thanks. only you, derek and arno have discussed this.. i cant understand why people dont talk about this more often! very neglected partm but makes a big difference! thanks!
You are the best. This channel has helped me so much as a sax player on both bari and alto and I’ve been struggling with this technique for a long time. Thank you so much
Some techniques are hard to describe. The key is to just play play and play some more. Then listen listen listen. Soon the instrument becomes second nature and your tone and technique will be completely individual. Step 1: play Step 2: listen. Repeat.
Thanks a lot! I've got one question though--my intonation is really bad when I play a ghosted note. My G major scale almost sounds like harmonic minor because the ghosted notes become really flat. Any advice on tuning?
I would experiment with the amount of pressure you’re placing on the reed. My guess without hearing you...would be to lessen the pressure. Also...try just the mouthpiece (play a concert A for alto) and try to keep the pitch the same when you ghost the note.
At 2:50, would that initial G note be slurred or do you articulate it using a "normal" tongued note? I know that prob is a stylistic thing but I'm just curious! I've started taking lessons in the last few weeks and my new teacher keeps correcting me on always beginning phrases with "tuh" type articulation.

As a guitarist i think of palm muting but tongue muting
When descending do i have to do the same? Thanks! Great explanation
Thanks I’m a beginner and I’d like to know how to have cleaner articulations. Sometimes I feel my articulations are to aggressive

Is this a replacement for regular tonguing? Or am I supposed to actually tongue the note?

Você é tão lindo :)

In the first tries is it supposed to bend? Every time I transition from nnn to ah it bends. Thank you!

How do ghost notes on flute?
I have problem with higher octave, it doesn't sound right, do you have any suggestion?
Without hearing it...it's a little difficult. But it could be an airflow issue...
You sound so effortless and smooth. Are there any exercises that would help with ghost tonguing or bebop tonguing?
