thanks a lot sir for your lesson :))

Thanks my great teacher! Your materials has been a great source of learning to me. I appreciate.

That was cool! Off I go to try on my next prac.I have been annoying my neighbours with this kind of mouth exercise using just the mouth piece during warm ups.Hopefully when I become that sax superstar they'll remember fondly. 😁👌

Great teaching and excellent explanation. Please take this as constructive criticism: When you speak, please enunciate a little more clearly. You could just speak with a little more volume and diction, like when you play! I have been watching a lot of your videos and I really do learn a lot from them, I just wanted to offer a little feedback. Thanks!

thank you mate

I just found your videos, Great teacher, your sound is amazing

what reed and reed strength do you use?

Pretty much like bending a harmonica?

Great tone!
I really wish to play the saxophone like you do!

Nice...😎

Thank you very much for this super helpful quick lesson!! I have a concert in 2 days and have been working hard to be able to lip bend at a few parts for a song for a bit now. I think with a good amount of extra practice before, I’ll be able to nail it. Thanks!

Great video!! Helped me a lot to play my school’s Jazz band music

this is on of the reasons I love the saxophone

Idk how 2 bend

please put some jazz sheet on your channel

This guy has an accent therefor he knows what he talking about

Hi can in bend middle range

Fun! Being April of 2020 now, and my husband is working from home during these crazy times, i'm sure he's enjoying my bend-practicing. lol
Anyway, thank you for all your great videos.
Be well!

kinda like on harmonica then?

Just bought SWAM saxophones with all the juicy things, so I needed to confirm how much and how doable bends really are on sax. I'm not not a sax player but good god, are all the saxes lovely instruments.
I wonder if there's anyone in the whole world who doesn't love sax :D
Thanks for the video!

Great video. I've been wondering how this worked for ages.

This doesnt work at all for me. I csnt bend it nonmatter what i do.

Very helpful Paul. Thanks. I'm a novice, so I go to industrial estates in the small hours to practice in my car. 😁

What you call A flat I call G sharp. 😀🎷🎶 Great channel!

Thanks Paul! Been playing for 2 years now and it is still a great mystery to me.. Now I get it! I know I'll be a better player once i mastered this..

Ace teacher!

This is super cool to learn!

What's a good under 2000$ saxophone? Can anyone give me some brands

Thank you so much 😊

So happy to find you! And excited that your British (like me) 😉😉

Fab! Thank you x

Hi, thank you for sharing, very clear explanation. Could the beginner start learning this or it is not just recommended ? Thanks

"your neighbors arent going to love you for it" :))

Keep it simple boys - when solo lip goes wild

Great!

Nice lesson ❤

A question and concern I’ve been having. How low can you bend a note on the alto saxophone? Can you bend up to a semitone or more? When I try to bend a semitone, the toner just shows I flattened the note, not necessarily bent to the lower semitone. Please help me out. Thanks.

I appreciate you for this.

Do you think that your lisp is an advantage?
