5 years ago I saw a RUclips cover by Charlez and decided that day that I was going to teach myself the Sax and do covers as well. Today I can successfully say I achieved that and have my own channel on RUclips! I hope this comment encourages anyone looking to learn the Saxophone- You CAN do it
I used to play this every single day when my daughter came home (years ago) from the sitter while I was at work, along with the song "Sway", and she was listen to them and then want me to repeat them every day. The power in this girls voice is amazing. My wife sang and did not believe this give was actually the one singing until she watched is a few times because of the quality and power, but she believed after that. The best part is that smile at the very end, and it cracks me up how she keeps looking around and getting distracted by whatever is happening, but it doesn't effect the quality of the recording one bit. She also tried to play my saxophone, but she was too young and just kept chewing up the reeds LOL.
+charlez360 The only Music store around me that carries saxes in store is Long and Mcquade and they dont have any anywhere. But they have a beautiful one in store made of bronze and Im tempted to grab it.
For anyone wondering, it looks like he's using a cannonball 20th anniversary series alto with the normal neck instead of the fat. I've bought a cannonball vintage reborn and it should be arriving soon!👏🏼 I'm so excited
Rip, I searched RUclips for "Tenor Sax" and that only. This pooped up and I watched it and I'm amazed. Although I only play sax for marching band. I used to play jazz for middle school in 8th grade. I get into jazz sometime thing year :)
Played Alto Sax years ago. Bought myself a new one to pick it back up. It is my all time favorite instrument. I listen to this guy's music all the time. Love this song. It's definitely on my list.
Your one of the causes why I wanted to play Sax and u know what I did I started in the sixth grade and now I'm in eight I play tenor now but thank you u are such an inspiration to me
+Sax and Strings Lol it's so cool to see you here! :D You, charlez360 and Justin ward are huge inspirations for me! It inspires me to keep going with playing the saxophone!
Hey man you're the reason I started playing sax 4 1/2 years ago, I'm always listening to you , idk why it took me so long to comment, but you rock dude, thanks for making music, keep it up charlez, you're amazing !
Had to laugh at the tail... just happened on your vid. Nice job. Years ago I won runner-up in the Seagram's Talent Search in NY for singing/writing... got to play, sing and work with hundreds of stars over the years. One day my wife dragged home a rescue chihuahua, he HAD to be in my arms or on my lap whenever I sang or played; loved music & always came running as soon as I plugged in... 22 years. After 40 yrs, I sold my horns after a bunch of surgeries to pay some bills, I've regretted it ever since. Nice job. It's not how many fills, but the heart and tone. David Gilmore can make you cry playing Alto, but probably couldn't play thru a practice book. Don't stop.
This sounds so amazing, saxophone covers never registered as something to listen to with me until I came across your channel, I'd love to hear how this sounds with the words sung over it!
Your playing breaks my heart in all the right ways. I cant help but to close my eyes and get lost in the story it creates. The Lord has blessed you greatly and I'm so glad you've used the gifts and blessed us with your talent.
i am in advanced band for flute and jazz for piano, my teacher wants us to go to an begginer intermediate concert for jazz. i dont have a 2nd jazz instrument. So i chose to learn the alto sax. i am so excited now!
I just rented one a week ago. I haven't practised more than I want too yet and I'm finally getting the right embouchure and sound finally.. first lesson in 3 days. It's an amazing sounding instrument.
Holy jeez @charlez360 your sax is gorgeous! Your music is even better! You are what i strive to be when i play! Its only me third school year playing sax but man I feel like i have played since the day i was born.
+Sami Greige Its called growling. 3 ways to do it. You can hum a 5th to that note, you make the noise you make when you clear your throat, or you can roll ur tongue
I've been wanting to learn the sax for a long time now. I currently play Guitar, drums and a little piano. This cover made me buy a Alto sax and am currently waiting for shipment. Cant wait to get started. Thank you for posting this video. Very inspiring.
EXCELLENT. Very well worked, beautiful and tender sonority, mainly with two instruments and especially still when the sax enters the minute 3'55. Congratulations !!!
+Tech Genie Playing by ear is much easier than writing out the music. At least for me, since I do both. When you write it out, you have to figure out how to write the rhythms as well.
This gave me goose bumps and i totally feel the same,i loooove music and dance but only in rare full form and this has driven me to get sax lessons and a saxofone soon.
Toco sax reto a 9 anos na igreja, mas tenho vontade de tocar essas musicas, me tranquilizo ouvindo isso, a musica me toca a alma! Vejo esse video a tempos
In the elementary sense, yes. Your teacher tells you that so that you keep your embouchure tight and in tact, but once you start using advanced techniques (such as circular breathing for instance), there is a lot more leeway in that regard 👍
It didn't take me very long, I was a weird kid.. haha. Here's a tip to learn: go to the sink, fill your cheeks with water, and when you push the water out of your cheeks into the sink, inhale through your nose. Repeat until the entire action is easy then try it while playing your clarinet. The biggest focal point is that you maintain the same pitch and tone throughout 👍

I just got the alto saxophone and I watched a whole bunch of videos of them . This is my favorite one!
The best sax covers.
I also play the saxophone and say that this is coming out great. Congratulations ,,CHARLEZ360''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Ive never really liked the sound of Canonball saxes but you make this sound sweet
+MrIzzy5466 Neither did I until I played one. You should give it a shot next time you're in the music store :)
+charlez360 The only Music store around me that carries saxes in store is Long and Mcquade and they dont have any anywhere. But they have a beautiful one in store made of bronze and Im tempted to grab it.
+charlez360 Makes me miss my cannonball raven alto. I had to sell it a few years ago to pay some bills. It was a great horn.
+charlez360 what did you do to the Yamaha yas-275
For anyone wondering, it looks like he's using a cannonball 20th anniversary series alto with the normal neck instead of the fat. I've bought a cannonball vintage reborn and it should be arriving soon!👏🏼 I'm so excited
I just bought my first tenor sax I'm 34 all because of this guy and leo p I just really like the sound of a saxophone
МНЕ ТОЖЕ ОЧЕНЬ НРАВИТСЯ.
He plays with so much expression and voice
You always play more than the notes...you capture the emotions...and make it look effortless. Congratulations. Artist.
I listened to each cover all the way through! I couldn't pause this not even for a second!
So weich und tief und kraftvoll. Besser als das Original. Viel Erfolg, junger Mann!
Rip, I searched RUclips for "Tenor Sax" and that only. This pooped up and I watched it and I'm amazed. Although I only play sax for marching band. I used to play jazz for middle school in 8th grade. I get into jazz sometime thing year :)

He's so great. I listen to this song every day. Because his music makes me happy and i want learn play the sax like him.
Played Alto Sax years ago. Bought myself a new one to pick it back up. It is my all time favorite instrument. I listen to this guy's music all the time. Love this song. It's definitely on my list.

This guy needs a contract . Too good
This is EXACTLY what music is about, goosebumps and energy is what i have every time i listen. Thank you charlez360
I love how more and more saxophone youtubers have cannonball saxophones, it makes me glad to live in utah
is utah known for saxophones? lol
That is a hella nice alto can we just take a moment to notice this? If I had a sax like that I’d never need anything else in my life
Your one of the causes why I wanted to play Sax and u know what I did I started in the sixth grade and now I'm in eight I play tenor now but thank you u are such an inspiration to me

+Sax and Strings Lol it's so cool to see you here! :D You, charlez360 and Justin ward are huge inspirations for me! It inspires me to keep going with playing the saxophone!

The dog's tail wagging just made this video that much better

+Brett Allen Thank you for your comment. I hope you can pick up a horn again soon, I wish you the best of luck Brett.
+charlez360 what kind of mouthpiece are you using?
Brett Allen sad story man
Brett Allen
It's Gilmour. Gilmour,ok?
nothin better than a good old alto sax

Your music is therapeutic. You inspired me to follow my passion for music.
I like how he tried to hypnotize the Cobra in the beginning.
Fucking lol😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😁😁😂😂😂😀😀😀
Hahaha! Your comment made laugh a little too hard😂 Lol
LOLOLOLOL!!
When you play the saxophone and play off the fingering chart. Nicely done. I like it.
Perfeito ❤
sou saxofonista iniciante e me apaxonei nesses vídeos,, super inspiradores,, amei,, já virei fã de Charlez ❤
I bow to this, the performance, the song, the tune, everything is just perfect, whenever it plays i pause involuntarily & travel to another world.
This sounds so amazing, saxophone covers never registered as something to listen to with me until I came across your channel, I'd love to hear how this sounds with the words sung over it!
Your playing breaks my heart in all the right ways. I cant help but to close my eyes and get lost in the story it creates. The Lord has blessed you greatly and I'm so glad you've used the gifts and blessed us with your talent.
Amazing as usual charlie! another outstanding performance, keep it up! you are awesome!!!

It's the greatest, fellow sax player here
Holy jeez @charlez360 your sax is gorgeous! Your music is even better! You are what i strive to be when i play! Its only me third school year playing sax but man I feel like i have played since the day i was born.

Awesome sound with the cannonball !
Even the little dog was exited haha
Robb M. Cupich The dog has good taste in music too
I want to stop playing violin to play sax so bad, and now I get to! You inspired me. Your really good at this! Keep doing what your doing!
I love how you vibrate on the low notes, how do you do that?
+Sami Greige Its called growling. 3 ways to do it. You can hum a 5th to that note, you make the noise you make when you clear your throat, or you can roll ur tongue
+Mark Kim oh thanks alot !!
i also love that lol. i was wondering how he does that. +Mark Kim thanks for telling us that
You move your jaw up and down
It is a vibrator
I've been wanting to learn the sax for a long time now. I currently play Guitar, drums and a little piano. This cover made me buy a Alto sax and am currently waiting for shipment. Cant wait to get started. Thank you for posting this video. Very inspiring.
I was feeling the first notes...then the tail popped up and started wagging~~ lol
+lady yassie :D :D :D
+lady yessie you got that right
LOL
lady yassie when I saw the tail I thought it was a guy swinging his you know what. Or a girl wit a strap
The dog was feeling it too 😂
EXCELLENT. Very well worked, beautiful and tender sonority, mainly with two instruments and especially still when the sax enters the minute 3'55. Congratulations !!!
This is really really beautiful! :)
There are people that get paid way too much for playing mine craft or something but this guy is insane love you!!! 😍😍
I was trying to decide on what to play in middle school. It's has boiled down to clarinet and alto saxophone.
I have no words man! simply out of this world..
Excuse me while I burn my tuba and buy a sax 😍
Goodbye violin! Time to switch priorities! 😂
Ive played saxophone for four years and its really nice, tip top sound
+Owen Hans good luck with burning your tuba lol
+AGames Reviews (AGR) I just got a sax any tips?
GamerGod895 Focus on tone before learning any songs and things. Make sure you always have firm corners and dont' puff your cheeks.
Wow I can listen to you all night keep it up bro
Do you work out the sax music or get sheet music?
He most likely did it by ear
yeah he messaged me, very impressive :)
+Tech Genie Playing by ear is much easier than writing out the music. At least for me, since I do both. When you write it out, you have to figure out how to write the rhythms as well.
Amazing person you are
look at the saxophone tho😍😍😍😍😍😍
you gotta listen to the sound, not looking at his sax right 😛
+Sax and Strings ig
+Jasmine Young ig? ;)
I have that sax :)
+Ryan Hawks oh you do? What sax is it? :)
I just started playing saxophone, and this video inspired me to try harder and not give up if I just misplace a note
How do you get that awesome controlled growl on your sax? It sounds so good, but I can't seem to replicate it.
Me neither! I don't understand! 😂😂 That skill is just amazing ;)
Yeah my sax has a dull sound to it, I just don't get it...
You have to kind of like hum into the saxophone as you are playing
+Jacob Miska you gotta growl with your throat and then apply that to when you play! Hope that helps :)
Jacob Miska u have to dig ur teen in the op more the more stress in ur lips and the tighter they are it growls more
omg one of the best things i've heard, what an evocative instrument alto sax is
+loveisthemessage anyone got any theories why the sax connects so well emotionally?
He’s playing a canon ball professional sax and for the growling u just gotta hmmmm with ur throat to get tht sound 👌🏽
If I wanted a joke ide follow you into the Jimmy and watch you take a leak.
This gave me goose bumps and i totally feel the same,i loooove music and dance but only in rare full form and this has driven me to get sax lessons and a saxofone soon.
You should definitely do a collab with Justin Ward, it would be the best sax cover ever produced.
OMG!!! What talent!!! And the sax is just beautiful!!
Omg ! It's Beautiful .. I am also a saxophonist ! 👍🏼
Marie Latorre me too
I dig the light growl he's using. Very well done
Your so good at playing the saxophone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙉🙉🙉
Love this it's just beautiful
First hairy metronome I've seen.
🤣
I just love the songs you covered with Alto Sax. It's so cool. Wish to be like you one day!
Brasil alguém?
Eu 😂😂😂😂
Oi
Love that dark tone. Perfect for adele song. Looks like a black nickel cannonball. TOP notch. !!!
Your 🎷 is the most beautiful thing ever
JJ REACTS 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
Well done. I like the tail, too. It adds another level of a soulful touch.
😍😍😍😍you teach me Play on saxophone thank you 😍😍😍
your cute
MyDigiDong thank you gata!!!
Toco sax reto a 9 anos na igreja, mas tenho vontade de tocar essas musicas, me tranquilizo ouvindo isso, a musica me toca a alma! Vejo esse video a tempos
can you give me the saxophone name
It looks like a Cannonball Sceptyr.
Hermosísimo saludos desde Perú eres genial💕 jamás me cansaría de escucharlo siempre acompañado 🐶🐾
I play clarinet and was taught never to puff my cheeks. Wouldn't it be the same for a saxophone?
In the elementary sense, yes. Your teacher tells you that so that you keep your embouchure tight and in tact, but once you start using advanced techniques (such as circular breathing for instance), there is a lot more leeway in that regard 👍
+charlez360 how long did it take you to learn to circular breathe? A technique like that would help my playing so much!
It didn't take me very long, I was a weird kid.. haha. Here's a tip to learn: go to the sink, fill your cheeks with water, and when you push the water out of your cheeks into the sink, inhale through your nose. Repeat until the entire action is easy then try it while playing your clarinet. The biggest focal point is that you maintain the same pitch and tone throughout 👍
+charlez360 I try it just straight up and the concept just seems so weird
Thank you for the advice!
