      +Night Raid He is playing an alto in the video but since it's not in the original key anyway you could play it on any sax. The way to tell alto from tenor in videos where the size isn't easy to see is to look at the neck. A straight neck is an alto and a slightly curved neck is a tenor. ( of course bari is easy to see)

    • @SaxCasts
      @SaxCasts  7 лет назад

      Yeah absolutely, you'll find most professional players tighten up their technique when it is needed and then become more flamboyant on easier passages. As you are developing its very important to keep your technique as tight as possible :) Thanks for the comment ^^

  • @SaxCasts
    @SaxCasts  11 лет назад

    Hi Cely,
    Absolutely. The difference between beginner and intermediate saxes is the refinement in tuning, response, build and resistance of the tube. An intermediate sax off the starting blocks won't hinder you but it will mean that you can probably stick with that same saxophone for a lot longer.

    @surfdigby 11 лет назад +1

    If you like quality musicianship and lots of instruments playing off one another, then I recommend the whole album (The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life) highly. If possible, get yourself the US version, as it has an extra track in the form of a reggae/mariachi version of Ravel's Bolero.

  • @SaxCasts
    @SaxCasts  11 лет назад

    Hi Smet,
    Taking up the sax can be quite daunting but don't worry, just enjoy the experience and let your sound and ability develop over time. Allow yourself the time to make mistakes and the odd squeak. But enjoy the journey. It'll be worth it in the end my friend!
    DC

  • @SaxCasts
    @SaxCasts  11 лет назад

    The sax is quite an easy instrument to start on but like many other instruments, mastering it takes a lifetime!
    To play a song like careless whisper well? You could have the notes under your fingers within a week of regular practice but it's unlikely to sound great until you've developed a solid tone and consistent sound which could take anywhere from 1 day to several years! Everything in good time! The most important thing is enjoying yourself while you do it and picking it up regularly.

    I've been playing saxophone for about 6 or 7 years now (I'm now 15) and I must say, if you want a good piece to play, try In The Mood. It has to be my favorite that I have ever personally played.

    Yep, some people can and it's a great skill. I find many people need a helping hand though, there is enough to be thinking about when first starting out on Sax. These videos are merely here to get people playing tunes asap so that they might carry on playing to the stage when they can work out songs for themselves.
    There is always the option of pausing after the demo, have a go, then compare your version with the version I teach too :-)

    Thanks a lot man! :) That made me more secure about playing. I've never played an instrument before, and that made me more confident about it. I would just love to do something special at my age (15). Something to do in my spare time. Something I would be proud of. And this might be it.

    Awesome method in teaching Dan. I really enjoy the easy casual teaching style and that you're teaching notes with songs and then teaching ear training as well. This helps me greatly since I wanted to start playing sax and not reading notes right away. Its great ear and memory training. I would love to learn the rest of this song if possible or Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana. Please keep up the great work, your videos are very helpful. - ZB

    Great video. But if you really want to impress your friends you practice hard daily and should be able to 'sight read' anything given to you. Cool video and I like that you try and keep the beginners using small movements. Even though I hardly ever make small movements because I'm flashy xD!

    Hey Dan,

    Just a quick question, on Titanium with the octave key I don't get the high note from the D. It closes when I push all the D keys in. I have to use a palm key. Any ideas why? Cheers

    I'm definitely go for an Alto first, there is the most repertoire available for it. Then you can eventually move to other members of the family when you feel ready. That said, you really should buy whatever you feel you'll play the most. Brands in order of preference in my opinion: Yamaha (275 or 25 are brilliant first instruments), Selmer (Expensive make sure its a Paris), Yanigasawa, Keilworth. Get hold of a second hand yamaha, you cant go wrong :-) Sorry for the delay!

  • @GWOSAPAT

    What's your setup? I like the sound. I gotta a YAS62, which I'm happy with, but still looking for that mouthpiece and reed combination to go with it

  • @SaxCasts
    @SaxCasts  12 лет назад

    Hey GWOSAPAT, as you probably noticed, I'm also on a YAS62, had it for nearly 20 years now! I use a S80 c* and Legere Signature series 2.75 for a very controlled sound that I like. For jazz/rock you probably want something a bit more hardcore like a Otto Link Tone Edge, or if you are feeling very brave a Meyer.
    That said, it's very hard to get the sound you want with gear. I've always been looking for my own sound but its a long journey. Have you tried messing around with reed placement?
