Just now picking up the tenor sax over 40 years old. This definitely helped good job thank🎷🙂👍

dave pollack u my hero 😁😁

OH GOD THIS HELPED SOOOOOO MUHUHUCUHCCHHCHCHHHHH thank you, Dave

Always bringing good info for us sax lovers.Keep them coming I watch them all and have improved.

very informative!! I do not like complicated advice, this was very easy to understand.

Great video, thank you!! For the next videos I would love to understand how to keep a consistent sound when changing octave.

Well done!!! The best online saxophone lessons out there! 🎷🎷❤️

Great tip, nicely explained.

Great lesson as always! One thing that I have always struggled with is articulation. How to properly practice it? A video about that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much 🙏 I’ve been learning saxophone with a main in clarinet this was a huge help!

Fantastic information Thank you so much

This is really good dave. You put words on abstract concepts. Personally i would love a video on how to start exploring the altissimo register :) Smart man!

Thank you for this tips really helps along with my tone

Amen brother. 😊

Thanks man great lesson

Thank you very much!. My tone has improved a lot

this was so helpful thank you

Yes please, this is going to be super useful

nice points Dave, and presented very well!

Audible improvements in my sax tone instantly. Thanks!

The "before" sound is what I think about when I think about Coltrane

Can you make a video for kids. I’m 11 and I have played for 3 years, but all the videos I see on RU-vid is very complicated to understand. I just want to sound good and to play faster

I love your content man. Killin. I would love to learn more on how to play altissimo. I've been trying for about 4 years now with no avail. I do my overtone exercises, but even then I have a hard time getting to the second octave note. I play tenor mostly. Thanks

It works!

Would be helpful to see a profile shot so we can see the differences in mouth position.

beautiful lessen. Thanks. Subscribing

👀👍...Thanks mr. Pollak

Thanks for that 👍👌

Awesome video, have heard that a lot but your summary is more precise and on point :) And could you maybe make a video on vibrato?

1:15 that sounds like me

Please sir....kindly do a video on How to sound sweet and emotional on the Saxophone

🎷Useful, very usefully

Thanks for the Lesson Dave. I'm 6 months into learning the alto. My sound is exactly like you first described being thin and sharp. Would you say that the "Aww" adjustment is mainly a change in throat shape? Would you recommend rolling your bottom lip out more? I've definetly learned the way you described with rolling my lip on top of my teeth.

Timing for another video

aww-some

Hi Dave. Since you asked, can you cover the application of grace notes and also how to solo over music when you play by ear ( i.e. how to know what scales to use)? Thanks in advance.

amen

I did not get how to change the embosuhure.

So, besides using the awe sound, are you suggesting to change the embouchure from m a tuckef bottom Lip to rolling the lip out ?

Sorry, can't resist - I'm a pianist, so I improve _my_ saxophone tone by hiring a better saxophonist! (Not just a bad joke, a tip...)

Interesting, I've been struggling with using voicings for different notes so I'll try sticking to the same one. Why do you think people use different voicings for different notes? Cheers

I have been forced to using the double lip embouchure due to dental problems. I find that jazz subtone is either not possible or difficult with this type embouchure though classical subtone is no problem at all. Is this a sufficiently wide spread problem for you to make a video dealing exclusively with this problem or has a video alradgy been produced related to this matter? Thank you for your reply which I am looking forward to.

My teacher often says my sound is too open... Should i press more then?

I thought this video was going to discuss curled lip embouchure

i find my tone feels so shaky :( i play on a 3 1/2 , and sometimes i get tired playing pianissimo long tones... but even when i think my embouchure is controlled, it still comes out almost shaky? do you know why this is- can other people hear it?

Wouldn’t aww constrict your throat? I feel like an aah would be more full but idk

It also helps if you have a Selmer mk6😂

✌🏾🎶🎵🎷

awww :)

What happened with the platform you had created, isn't it gonna be available again?

My teacher gave me a different analogy which is funnier and more visual: Having an egg in your mouth

Look up Joe Allard and the "No Embouchure."

do you think having your bottom lip out creates a better sound than curling it over your teeth?

AWW but it's gotta be a jersey accent

its kinda weird how good you are at explaining things. Great video! Keep up the great work of making saxophonists sounding better!
