Before I found this channel I barely knew how to play sax but now I know how to play. It’s really easy with the finger thing on the side.

my first ever sax is on the way and I cannot wait to try to play along with your videos. I really can't thank you enough for your effort on these vids man <3

[Noxsue]

Thanks again!

Suggestion: “Come and get your love”

I don’t normally comment on YouTube videos, but your dedication and absolute quality of videos puts a smile on my face. Your play throughs are concise and easy to follow, and more importantly to learn! Keep up the great work dude I can’t get enough of them!!!

(Also if I was to humbly request a song… he’s a pirate from pirates of the Caribbean is such a cool song especially on sax!)

I would like to know if you guys could do black rover next on the alto sax. If you can’t that’s fine but I’ve been trying to find a good video on how to learn it on the alto sax and I couldn’t find any good ones and your channel is the best when it comes to learning songs on the alto sax so this is why I came to you for this recommendation. Ok thanks :)

Hey saxplained. I love your channel and it helped me want to play more. Keep it up! Wish you were more recognized for what you do. Could you do pink soldiers from squid games? I think it would be pretty easy since it is only 4 notes or so.
