@@rbdshadow7272 you mean like the multitude of c# and b flat right? In that case you’ll be right, he probably didn’t have the time to show all of them lol
You learn G, A, B, C, and D. First 5. Then you branch off from there when you can get those 5 notes out consistently. Don't learn everything at once; you'll want to give up very much
Super helpful! Just got my sax yesterday and am beginning my journey. Becoming a repair tech right now and figured I should learn the thing first 😂 Thanks for the concise info!
POV you just got a clarinet so you look up sax videos. Idk why I’m like this, when learning guitar I watch piano videos. I hope that means I’m gonna stick with it for 8 years like guitar
I would recommend you guys look up a fingering chart. It's drawn in a shorthand of the saxophone, but I think it's pretty intuitive. The best is having a private teacher of course. They can show you that the same note can be fingered multiple ways and how you might be better off using an alternative fingering depending on the musical phrase you are playing.
Do it in this order, 140 minutes a week.Only play on the neck for a week then full body.Then learn in this order G A B C D you can search the fingerings then you can practice easy songs. Every note say while playing. Lip curved covering your teeth goes on the reed then bite down on the top.This is how I learned but you should get a personal teacher as soon as you can
I remember when I first got a saxophone and I was so confused with all the keys and a year of playing I understand now and its funny to look back on how confused I was lol
I’m gonna get a Bari Sax I’m a trumpet, yes Ik it’s gonna be hard but if I spent almost 7 years playing trumpet I can learn Bari I’m super excited and videos like this help me learn new things about instruments
Sax fingurings are some of the easiest though. Those high notes dont get used THAT often and most notes run down the instrument 1 is B 12 is A 123 G 1234 F 12345 E 123456 D Only c is weird put of the main 8 at just key 2 Everything else is just addition Bb is 1(B) + 4 / A# is 12(A) + Rside 1 G# is 123(G) + Pinkie top Gb/F# is 123(G) + 5 D# is 123456(D) + 7 C# once again weird is nothing. Thumb for octave up. And then below the scale has some differences, just think of closing up the isntrument for everything lower than low B Oh and picking alto usually means most somgs will be in the scale for you
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 💕Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
i think its so funny all of these comments saying the fingerings are so hard, but the saxophone is pretty much one of the easiest wind instruments to learn, and probably the same with all in general. Unlike brass, we don’t have to change our embouchure nearly as much, only when we need to produce sound. And our fingerings are rather simple. Everything seems complicated when you’re new at it, but trust me, if 6th grade me could memorize and learn the fingerings, you can too.
im actually going to start to play saxophone after I saw a conspiraying youtube, its very cool to play the saxophone. if I'm correct the teacher was master something, Oogway thingy
No wonder people are confused. We have no indication of which octave these notes are. Not to mention your clef will be different than other instrument 😅
That’s the least in-tune so you should only use it when slurred or it transitions into a D. The way he showed is better, then 1 and the sub B key is second best.
I pulled up a random note generator and played whatever notes showed up there and just had the saxophone fingering chart on my wall lol update : I memorized all of my fingerings except my altissimo stuff
Don’t do this. Learn the naturals first. Then work your way round the circle of 5ths adding one accidental each time. You will remember where Bb is much quicker when you understand what Bb is and what it does. Flutes existed for thousands of years before keys were invented. There’s no rush to play in F# major
