Glissando technique is essential thing for a pink panther :))

[marktyler]

This is great! Recommended you to all my students.

Thanks Jamie, I've been trying to do these for ages. Your video is going to help a lot.

[geoffbeckett]

Lots of great stuff to practice. Thanks again for a great channel.

[kissalabama]

This video is wonderful! I love the PDFs. I also love taking your masterclasses and every single video I can absorb because then I watch some of your older videos like this one and learn even more! All your videos are timeless and I feel like each time I watch, I learn more and more!

[hecateswolf]

Very thorough explanation I'm very grateful thanks

[saibalsen]

Respected Sir.
The way you give explanations all about Saxophone, I am just overwhelmed !
Please accept my heartiest greetings!
Love 💕 from India.

OMG! I never knew this stuff! Thank you for addressing this issue. Ancient secrets unveiled! Quick, get my horn!

[YannsKitchenUK]

I’ve always just called the gliss a scoop or fall depending on direction. Sounds great . Sometimes coming in on one solid note sounds nice too. Like Sanborns probably me solo for sting and Clapton.

[freizeitvideos]

as always a crazy effort you make there. thank you for sharing your skills with us

[andrewwright]

Brilliant again Jamie thanks very much. 😃

[garysnowdon]

A Release bend my friend. Thats a bend down. I know I am 4 years into my sax journey, but I am 40 years into my guitar journey. Well done super information in your video.

6:59 - Great example of "Down from the Note" is the beginning of Gene Ammons solo on "Hittin' the Jug." Those two beginning notes are a good part of why I went and bought a saxophone at age 66... with no musical ability or experience. Before i actually received the delivery of the (cheap chinese) sax I was afraid that I might get discouraged and end up hanging the sax on the wall as decoration😅, but after maybe overall a cumulative of four to six hours of practice I am falling in love with the sax learning experience and can play the notes on the first page of Dexter Gordon's version of ""Stairway to the Stars, " (but I have quite a ways to go with it😄) However I cannot even come close to Ammon's "down from the note" at the beginning of his solo, so maybe if i study your video here, i can pick it up better. Thanks for the video.

[crispinimini]

Good job teacher, important explain, no have in Brazil classes this way.

[SeigneurAshram]

I love your vidéos Jamie, you are such a nice person giving us so many tips. I know you since I started playing an instrument (saxophone btw 1 year ago) and your vids help me a lot to keep trying and hearing/discovering about so many stuff. So Thank you a lot !

[perfectcelery]

Brilliant - thanks for doing a great job of teaching this! (now to spend the hours getting the chromatics super smooth at speed!)

[Redwane-Music]

you are so funny. at 10.42 it looked as if if one overblown a blimp and it is about to explode. lol. but you are a great teacher and there is a lot to learn from you. thank you

[flightstreamerlk]

I got my alto sax about two weeks ago, and I'm self learning how to play using books and videos. I've been working on my embouchure and scales. I just want to know if it's ok to practice these kinds of tricks and dynamics or if I should wait until I get some experience. Thanks.

[maryc]

Great video and love your enthusiasm. I've tried growling a million times and just haven't gotten it with either technique. I've been playing for over 60 years and this is my Achilles heal. I'm hoping your encouraging video gets me there. Keep up the great work. Oh, and the very last part of your video had me on the floor laughing. I sit next to a fellow in big band and concert band who does that awful cat-in-heat scoop and thinks he is hot stuff. We all cringe. So, I know what you're talking about. Thanks again.

[heathergatus]

Hi. Just a question about scooping up to the note, eg. F to A, would you then finger each note in between and use throat and embouchure as well? Thanks for your great videos - I am learning so much from watching them
