WHY ARE OVERTONES SO IMPORTANT? Tongue Position, Overtones, and Breath Support On The Sax 

Thank you, this finally made sense why I could not get those higher notes. Now just to get my fingers to work to play instead of scales.

OMGOODNESS! This is the first time that I have even understood what overtones are. You are an awesome teacher!

Thanks Scott, always my fav sax videos on RU-vid! Will be joining ya school!🤠🎷💛

What about tongue position while bending notes ?

You are just amazing. I stopped saxophone lessons for the frustration of not being able to tongue in merengue arpegios(I am from Dominican Republic) and merengue requires a fast tongue. Every teacher I took classes with told me the same bad information. "You should tongue with the tip of your tongue. But with you all was very clear. It's all about tongue position. Nobody says this. They tell you they your tongue should be quiet. Thanks so much

Beautiful information 🎉

great video!

🐻👍👍👍🙏💥🎷💥

After watching 1k youtube videos and reading a lot of articles.. I finally was able to do the 3rd overtone following your indications!! thank you.

Mind blowing! You made me realize what i have been doing all along. Nobody else ever ever… explained it like this before. But it makes perfect sense to me now. Will try the high notes next. 🥰🎷🎶

No way... I finally managed to play high f sharp and hit high B and C without the octave key

❤❤❤

What about monophonics

Ohhhh and i forgot to add: thank you so much for what you do, Scott!! 🥁

This was very helpful for me. I’m a long time sax player, but new to bari, and I couldn’t figure out why my low notes on bari were getting undependable. Couldn’t figure out why I could run down all the way but I couldn’t start a run up from anything below low E. Scared to do a bass line arpeggio starting on a low tonic. Now I understand how I do it on tenor, but forgot how I was doing it. It seems like tongue position, and oral chamber size are exaggerated on bari.

Thank you, Scott! The "aahh" tongue position solves my "gunshots" kind of sound on low notes.

Very simple and and clear ley out of the overtone technick.Thanks,my teacher!

I desperately want the correct subtitles in Japanese.😢😢😢

Thanks, Scott!! But you didn't talk about where is the tip as you said in another video... I'm dealing with that lastly

Clear as a whistle. One question. When practicing overtones do I use octave key or simulate sound with tongue position only?

Great lesson 👍

FANTASTIC video, as always :)
