This tutorial will save novice jazz saxophonists countless hours of trying to figure it out on their own. Unfortunately, this video did not exist 40 years ago. Thanks Scott! You are a great teacher.
Hi Scott! I had a question. Have you ever used distortion on your saxophone in a live setting? And if so, how did you manage to reduce feedback? My band uses heavily distorted saxophones in our recordings but are having a hard time getting to sound right live. We have a mic pre-amp/fx loop that we are running the mic through but we can't seem to get a solid level of distortion without feedback. Any help and advise is super appreciated
Hey Ethan, I have. Running your sax through pedals takes a lot of gear and a lot of trial and error. You will have to play with the knobs to figure out which one gives you the distortion you want without feeding back. There's no simple answer. You just have to keep playing with the knobs until you find the right solution. I also have a small Mackie mixer at the end of my chain so I have more control of the output.

I’m not a saxophonist - I’m an arranger. Fascinating. Thanks so much.
Excellent tutorial Scott! You have a wicked good tone. Thanks
Awesome lesson, Scott. I learned this when subscribing to your school last year, however its always a good review!
Thanks Scott - Great tutorial
Man. That's really awesome. Hopefully I can get this down
Thanks!
Scott, is a scoop the same as bending a note? Thank you for sharing your videos.

Tell us something about neck belts and which will be comfortable
How does the scoop and bending differs from another
