No thank you for great content that’s not boring lol

[lilpudin]

Opened my phone, saw the notification, and read the title as “International Sex Day”. Had me questioning this channel for a moment.

[cyrus-judge]

I have been looking forward to a saxologic post... a long time. but all jokes aside thank you so much for uploading again.

[onesyphorus]

6:49 honestly thats the realest piece of advice ive learnt over the years. it is true!

[Hajoon__]

One of the greatest sax collabs ever lol

[getnoa]

learning sax for band rn and just got in trouble cuz i got this notification lol

[cxcccccc-fy]

I miss the days when Saxologic wasn't trying to sell me shit on every video. I get the hustle, and I still love his stuff, but he's become mini Chad LB.

[theonlyonegirl]

Omg!! U finally posted! Im learning the sax as a bigginner, very hard but also fun! I watched ur vids and u helps me encourage myself and go further! Thanks! ❤❤❤

[onesyphorus]

Thank God Adolphe Sax got the cool lore / backstory and it did not some random person instead 🙏🏾

[keananok]

You're still pretty good at the saxophone

[shayshawbear]

The king had posted again!!! 👑 Edit: also I just gotta mention how Zelda those chord progressions sound.

[HahnJames]

You posted another stupendous video here! Now, I've got to go look for my socks because, you just impressed them right off my feet. The funny thing is, I was wearing shoes at the time!

CONGRATULATIONS on 207k subscribers! That's mighty impressive, too.

[alexhart-eu]

I've been watching this channel for a while, and I gotta say, I have been loving the content thats for sure, but I just can't get down a jazz sound to come out. It's most likely because I am still a middle school student (a few months away from highschool so I'm not as young as you might think) but I still want a nice jazz sound to have fun with in my free time. If anyone has any tips please let me know some haha.

Babe wake up, new saxologic vid dropped

[alexhart-eu]

Just also realized, November 6th is also my birthday

When ur Coles 4038 hits you in the face, falls on the ground and you accidentally turn on phantom power. Rip

NATHAN PLS DO A REVIEW ON THE NEW BSS VANTAGE

[jemtran]

[normalizedaudio]

Wagner, the master was dealing with SAX; but, Wagner went with the "Wagner Horn." Wagner should have chosen US.

[BKearns]

Man abandons us for four months and then makes me misread the new title as “International Sex Day”
