Brecker is the best at this tune

For that money, that horn sounds very impressive.

Well, I must say, I feel like I just wasted 15 minutes of my day. I was very interested to hear the Better Sax side-by-side with a MarkVI. As I listened to "both" horns, I was definitely surprised by how much they sounded the same, and how that didn't speak very well of the Mark VI. I should've realized something was up, cause if I had a Mark VI that sounded like that, I'd sell it immediately! Not that the Better Sax didn't sound great for what it is, I'd buy one if I had a kid playing sax in school, but it just didn't have the depth of sound a pro-level horn, especially that of a Mark VI, presents.

How to stop landing in the root chord tone by habit on the changes

I need help with this !!

Sounded great right out of the box. Your set up opened and darkened the sound a little more

inspired.

Es muy dificil cantar asi. Para alguien afinado reproducir eso es muy dificil.

Haha, now transcribe it as it's actually sung!

Todo idéntico y refrito. Nada nuevo.

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge it is super useful!

Chào bạn tôi đến từ Việt Nam

Just learned

These are incredible Dave 😎

#3 I thought clearly stood out as the best tone, the other two weren't as obvious especially because it seemed you were naturally compensating for the poor position which made them sound better than they really should have .

So, Mr. G, that was the secret of your success all along? Jacks father must have been the originator of that cup since Jack wasn’t around In the early years of Kenny G. 😂. But to be honest, the first version is how Jazz that is approved by the Jazz police sounds to my ears; painful. Love the smooth sound of Mr. G. 😊

Can you do a video on playing over a blues in a dominant/major setting? Minor blues is a pretty easy concept for me to grasp but I get confused on wat to play wen it's a dominant blues

I’ve been looking for ways to get more things done while I practice my sax! Thanks for the great idea! And wow!! That was impressive!

I prefer the 62 by a country mile, the 23 sounds thin and green in comparison

hell yeah ! key of Hb !!!

lmao you used to be my music teacher

Great video!

My next door neighbours dogs ears were blown away he's lost his sense of hearing lol 😆😂🤣

😂

I could imagine a classical compose, maybe Mahler or Shostakovich, scoring it like that when they want to convey irony. Or maybe a dystopian film score with the smouldering ruins of the Capitol in the background.

Vielen Dank Dave 🙏🏼💕

You played too much in tune

always love your videos man...great stuff

Thank you so much Dave for this video. To hear the chromatic approach notes in the voice leading section was a clincher. When you are busy playing the notes it isn't possible to hear them in isolation as per your example. To hear them repeatedly like that was an excellent confirmation of their utility.

7:20 you sound quite nice when you dont play the wrong notes

The first two levels sound amazingly good to me, not at all elementary. You have a special talent for compiling very pleasant-sounding progressions and rhythms with relatively few notes!

Loved it all!! I need more of this!

Starting on level 1 would,really have been helpful. Cool approach to start with,

This clarified so much for me! I have always had struggles moving from level 1 to level 2. Thank you so much!!

Love this lesson

So generous from you, Dave! Your explanations are crystal clear. Very helpful!

These are awesome! Thanks!

Great video! Thanks Dave! It was difficult for me to play the chord tones and still sound ok, but level 1 is very helpful to get started playing a nice sounding solo!

Wow ! All 3 levels are so melodically pleasant to my ears .. you should make a etude videos of standards.. even your level 1 standards is too good for us to pick on our instruments

Love this! Thanks Dave 😁

So whilst this is funny, the poor lady also sounds like she has some serious alcohol problems. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs.
