My 4-year-old asked me what a saxophone was, and this video was the first one I chose to show her. I had no idea how beautiful and touching your version of this song was going to be. She sat in my lap, held my hand, and softly said how much she liked the saxophone. Unexpectedly, these 5 minutes will be ones that I'll remember forever. You helped mark a small moment in my family's history. I am forever grateful.
Wow so touching i almost cry of this song and plus your coment/message Hope you understand my english cuz not really good at english Question am i good at english😅
Holy moly. Wow. I’m at a loss for words honestly. I’m glad you could share a beautiful moment with some music :) I just dropped an ALL SAX album and I’d love it if you checked it out! 🔥🎷open.spotify.com/album/56nSGjokmHPbuDfrXx3BGO?si=yFxqtB10T16uNBxZMDs1fQ
Not every saxophone song needs wild soloing and in your face extravagance. As a veteran saxophone listener (lol) I find it refreshing to see somebody playing a simplistic cover. The low range and use of tone is really well showcased in this piece, well done
Someone gets it. Thank you. For all those who want wild solos and crazy saxing, watch any of my other videos, but not this one. This one is played exactly how I wanted it to sound :) riversendbaccy
charlez360 I just discovered your channel and I have to say that you play sax like no one else I have ever seen. It's so smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for this channel. :)
Hey Freefire AirsoftandGaming I'm a Yamaha guy. Go with them and your saxes will not break. Trust me. 15 years and counting, (dropped twice hehe) And thank you Archangel !! I'm glad you like it! Stay tuned for more very soon :) (tonight?)
5 years ago I saw a RU-vid cover by Charlez(Halo) and decided that day in my heart that I was going to teach myself the Sax and do RU-vid covers as well. Today I can successfully say I achieved that and have my own channel on RU-vid! I hope this comment encourages anyone looking to learn the Saxophone- You CAN do it
That's an inspiring comment here! I started learning sax just three months ago, and when I checked your recent videos, I got a great indication of where I can get in 7-8 years if I keep on learning! Thank you for the motivation!!!
I'm over here wanting to learn so bad.. sax to my ears is life!!! Especially listening to whoever this is ..heard him years ago.. he is the best!!! Like the thinking about u that he does!!
Sir, the combination of hearing you and reading what you wrote below really made this a memorable event for me. Thank you for sharing your love of playing, your talent, and the context. My life just became richer because of you. "This is me, charlez360, playing my alto saxophone to John Legend's "All Of Me." I ventured through the cold storm tonight to record this song in a lecture hall at my university. I had one of my first classes in that room, so it was a nice setting to record in. I sincerely hope you enjoy hearing this song as much as I enjoyed performing it for you :)"
So I just started Alto sax in 7th grade and I was thinking about quitting. After watching this all I could think about was that could I be that good if I don't quit? I started thinking and going to continue. The sound is so smooth and so smoothing. If honestly felt like my ears were getting a massage thank you and good playing.
You can defintely get to that point, no matter what instrument you play keep getting better at it because otherwise youll be someone one day wishing they knew how to play an instrument, you can love your past self for it. This is how i am with guitar and i promise you its worth it in the end no matter the instrument!
A bit late but oh well don't ever quit I quit for 5 years and have just started playing again I was 11 when I stopped so stick at it and remember practice all the time.
It's even sadder when you know every word and you sing along in your head with this interpretation, I actually cried. Great video man, going to watch every other one now :')
I used to play alto saxophone back in middle school. I had to quit because of all of the brain tumor surgeries I had 😔 I am currently looking now to try and find another one so I can get back into playing again. I love the soothing sounds of the saxophone. Great job man!!!! Love this song and it sounds amazing!!!!!!
2023 and just found this vid. As a fellow alto sax player, this piece was so amazing and it put me in my feelings a little because how he played it. Keep up the great work man.
I currently play alto sax. This upcoming year I will be playing the baritone sax. I encourage you to play whatever you want because you will always achieve your goal 🤞
Samantha Crum I'm in 8th grade and when I was in 4th grade I fell in love with the sax. I am now in 4 different honor bands and I wouldn't trade my sax for the world I love it soooooo much I'm tenor sax tho
Around the time when this video came out I was in 5th grade and I remember watching it knowing in a year I was going to play saxophone for the middle school and then this was the first song I learned, a year later I played it at a talent show and I still have the video of it. I’m now a junior in high school. Time is flying
Hey, I've listened to all of your videos and you made me start learning sax, I've been playing for about 2/3 of a year and I'm loving it! Thanks so much man.
Jeremy Ericksen there is a ton of things to learn with the saxophone... I have played for 6 years and i probably only scratched the surface of what is doable when playing it))
i believe he vibrating and key clicking is do to the fact of the microphone you have which transmits any type of sounds including when you press the keys but its not really that distracting just listen to you play i've fallen more in love with the saxophone. and i am planning on learning how to play it
You'll have a great time!!! Work hard and get through the first year. It's going to be tough, but make sure to practice as much as possible!!! That is the only way to get better.
I think you all got it wrong: charlez360 wanted to post HIS version of "All of Me" with his saxophone and his liking to play it on YouToube! So it is my opinion that it is impropriate to tell him that he plays it wrong. If you want to hear it play differently then put your version on and wait for the reaction of people, who listen to your version of this song. Putting someone down, just because some knowalls can play it better is not the right way and not what it was meant like. He wrote so nicely he hopes you enjoyed a lot and hope you do to you just shut your mouth and watch another version, which you like better. That is my opinion !
Leslie Rump like your comment. i really hate it when other give comment and try to make an ass of the person doing his or her best to cover a song to the best of his or her ability. they players plays the music in the way that sutes him or her best and all the rest who things they can do it best need to just shut up and bring it on. make their own covers. long live the music, to hell with wise asses!
Alex Baars Silly reply, barely comprehensible writing. I'm sure that he IS doing it at the the best of his ability but that wasn't enough. Going public before it is enough, sets himself up as an Aunt Sally and we all know what happens to an Aunt Sally. It gets knocked over. All the wildly appreciative comments clearly come from people who have no idea what they are talking about but that doesn't stop them. Challenging them to make their own video is no counter argument. Real musos don't judge their achievements by plonking 5 minutes of Tat on RU-vid. I've been playing Clarinet, Alto Tenor, Baritone saxes around Europe and USA for too long to have to put up with such nonsense. He may well turn out to be a World Class player in the end but revealing his current limitations to the public does him no favours!
***** If you can't comprehend what I am writing, than it is not my fault, but you are too dumb to comprehend! If you had a brain which is working, you could understand easily. But you two are a good example of these self-righteous people, who wright a comment, just because.... charlez360 got so many positive comments and you tell them blankly they are all wrong, because YOU know better?? You did go public as well and what did you accomplish? You have 3 followers and I can find you only playing bass guitar. How do you think you can afford such a harsh critic about someone, who's got more views than you could ever dream of. It is pretty clear that envy and jealousy is talking instead of reality. People like, how he plays and covers this song, if you do like it or not or do know better than anybody else!!. "His best of abilities", which you think is not good enough, brought him more viewers and "likes" than you could ever hope for, especially with such a negative vibe and attitude!. If you say "the wildly appreciative comments come from people, who have no idea, what they are talking about". then you obviously don't realize that it is exactly these people , who buy CDs or download the music they like - not because they are played like pros "like you" would like to hear, but they just like it, because IT SOUNDS GOOD TO THEM! Your opinion about his alleged limited abilities don't make any difference. You would sell much less music than Charlez360, if even any, and you know that and that is why you put his abilities down. But it is not always about abilities, which is buying the end-product. And clearly: " the nonsense, you have to put up with" made you a bitter person, because your so called better ability doesn't bring you any further in this business. I have never heard of you, but ranting about a player, a lot of people like to listen to, doesn't makes you a better "muso" (haha). I guess you have to put up with this nonsense for much longer , because you are just not the flavour of the month ! So just shut up!
I think 1k people accidentally pressed the dislike button because his tone was full and round. Not to mention his sound was a miz between soothing jazz and contemporary. -9th grade Chair 1 Alto sax player for CHS
I've never commented on a RU-vid video before but felt compelled to add my agreement along with the others that this is an incredible cover. I play alto too and hope one day I sound anywhere near as beautiful as your playing. Thanks for the inspiration and look forward to following your progress.
all these negative comments. i get that people need critiques, but really? if you dont play an instrument, then dont critique. cus you really dont have the right. His sound is absolutely amazing. Hearing a few keys when he plays, at least u know hes actually playing rather copying the sound from another artist. airy, its supposed to be a soft song. Charlez360, i Absolutely LOVE YOUR PLAYING!!!!! Please inbox me, id like to buy some cds or records from you if your making them? thatd be amazing. christmas to me hahaha
"People who don't play an instrument shouldn't comment" the hypocracy is incredible. I was far better than this guy my first year of playing. He plays all note off sync with zero creativity and his tone is annoying at best. It's amazing the shit ignorant people think is good. Watch justin wards cover and then tell me u still think this guy is even decent at best.
Nolan Sax I actually believe both of the Sax players are pretty great musicians....Mr. Nolan, you have your choice of Sound... However, you should really go and check the Subscription to Subscription and total views of these two musicians....That should tell you, who the public is watching more of (atleast on RU-vid) .....People may have a choice of who sounds better, but those numbers are not lying... #justsayin
Mouthpiece/reed combo, tongueing the notes instead of slurring too much which forces you require more breath. (listen to his sound very closely) He does phrase out the lyrics, but, you can hear him tongueing the notes as well. It's what I do. Learning Jazz helped me which accenting certain notes and phrase out too. You have to practice to blend them well.
me gustó mucho tu interpretación, realmente me dan ganas de volver a tocar el instrumento, tocas muy bonito, tienes un talento muy bonito, felicitaciones!
I played this song for my school talent show not exactly how you played since i'm only 12 but i still did the whole song. But i just wanted to say you are the best sax player I've ever seen hopefully one day i can see on the news THE NEW KENNY G???????????????
I’m a freshman and I just started playing sax not even a year ago and I’ve been listening to you play sax for just over 2 years now, and I love it your a part of why I want to play sax so thank you and you sound amazing!
Bro , you have talent , it's crazy how good you can be at something if you just try . I really appreciate you and your music it makes me happy to listen to when I feel down . Keep up the great work man .
really love your music and you play great. I'm playing saxophone for the first time next year. So far by the looks and sounds, i am already in love with it
Absolutely beautiful. I have played alto saxophone since I was in 5th grade and I am still amazed when I hear someone play with such emotion and control. It makes my heart happy to hear such beautiful music come from this instrument.
What would I do without your smart mouth Drawing me in, and you kicking me out Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down What’s going on in that beautiful mind I’m on your magical mystery ride And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright My head’s under water But I’m breathing fine You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I’ll give my all to you You’re my end and my beginning Even when I lose I’m winning 'Cause I give you all, all of me And you give me all, all of you How many times do I have to tell you Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move You’re my…
Best cover of Alto sax in all of RU-vid!!😍😍 I just switched from Clarinet to sax in my 7th Grade Band class. Still learning the notes, but from the looks of it, I think that I've made the right decision for switching!! Thanks for uploading this!! I hope that I will be able to play like you someday soon!! 😊 - Faith ❤
Hi! All your music is soooo beautiful! just AMAZINGLY heartwrenchingly beautiful. If only I could somehow play your music during my wedding reception.... would you allow it?
Yeah it was really nice! I played a few songs and then freestyled during the cocktail hour with the DJ. It was a lot of fun. But seriously feel free to jam any songs you like, and congratulations! :)
Hey Charlez360! I also play the tenor saxophone! Your sound inspires me from that "Thank you Sax by Dido" song. I want to be as good as you one day! Keep making awesome videos! You just earned a subscriber!
Charlez360 this is absolutely beautiful, very well done, real smooth, love it, I recently purchased an Alto sax, and you've inspired me to keep practicing 😊
Hi, My name is Kristel and I'm from the Netherlands, I just started playing the alto saxophone a month ago. And I was really wondering because my mother is turning 50 coming Februari and I really want to play the song All of Me - John Legend, and i already have the notes, but If you could please send me the notes how you play it, that would be really nice Because you play it with the little notes between and i love it
