Your content is unbelievably useful for intermediate players. Many thanks!

I've liked using that "speed bag" effect too, back in the 80's, but I never heard it called that. I like that name.

Man, I love that playing!

Great content!

I'm glad I found you on my recommendations. I can't stop watching. Every video is so good and inspiring. Makes me want to practice more. Thank you sir!

I learn so much from you! I never heard of a "lip out" embouchure, but the idea sounds brilliant. I wonder if I can overcome 40 years of practice to try it.

Plumber's tape is essential gear.

In the speedbag effect, I'm wondering how much tongue movement is vertical and how much horizontal, and what it "rebounds" off. Roland Kirk used this technique also, I think. I've been wondering how it's done for decades, but feel no closer. A view from the side cutaway representation of the player's mouth, mouthpiece, teeth, lips, and tongue might show the tongue positions at each phase of the oscillatory sequence, to facilitate imitation. If any of the positions are a stretch for the player, it's likely that he won't stumble onto it on an early try at random positions. The muscles of the tongue may need special conditioning to easily move in the way or ways needed. Not knowing precisely what those ways are compounds the problem. Special tips on conditioning exercises for this unknown movement might help some. Thanks for a great lesson; your material has helped me a lot.

Sirvalorsax, you give great instructions on all of your videos that I have seen. I get the speed bag effect, but I don't understand exactly how to do it. Do you let your tongue rattle freely or are you letting it touch tip and a little from the tip one step at a time? In other words moving your tongue that fast....tip and behind? I notice if I can make my tongue raddle if I just blow and let it go free.

Hello from germany . STM 7 with #2 Vandoren reads? wow, Very soft setup, but great sound. I use STM 9 and rico royale #2,5, the three harder ones in the box 😉

Hello can you please make a review on the selmer concept tenor sax mouthpiece ?

I've been playing a tenor sax for almost a year, and I was always told the lip in method. Can you elaborate on the lip out method more for me? I've been feeling a lot of pressure on my lower lip here recently, and I'm interested in learning more about the lip out method.

sirvalorsax- man you gotta try some syos man i love your gear reviews. have you ever tried them?

Hi Sirvalorsax, I didn't get the la la tonguing, where should my tongue need to place or position it? Thank you.

when i do this it differ the sound cause of splitting through the reed and mouthpiece. How to avoid that ?

What was the app you were using mate? thanks for posting

I'm going to work on these things. The la muted attempt was a disaster. I think you need to describe that one a little more. The rest was perfect.

the shank must be very soft for comfort whether or not master health

When using the lip out embouchure, are we still need to put some lower lip on the top of the bottom teeth? Or do we just support the reed fully with our lower lip? Thanks man

I knew it. I need a bigger anchor

Adrien, somewhere along the way, I lost my ability to flutter tongue; it’s like it feels tighter/shorter than when I was young. I try it here and there, both with mouthpiece in and also without, but so far not much progress.

If you send me the whip I will put the cork master hahaha

If am doing my tonguing i will be putting saliva in my Sax please how do I get rid of that ?

i've been playing saxophone for a week and am struggling with tonging...

Ok I see you watch Black Lightening too! 😂

If you tongue the alphabet, they'll think you're from France....per Sam Kinnison (RIP)

i am tryng to understand the first part of the video.. i just dont , at all

Someday, someone is going to figure out a way to put a really tiny video camera inside someone's mouth so we can see what's going on when tonguing!
