You’re welcome! Glad it helped you.
A must for all sax players, good clear explanation and a perfect way to learn and improve any piece you are working on. Keep up the good work Nigel.
Thanks Tony! I really appreciate your comments.
Because you asked in the video, Nigel ... Yes, I could have such a practice video once a week 😀 I still have the feeling that I will never manage to play really fast. And I don't know exactly how to practise it. Here in this video you have shown that wonderfully. Thank you very much for that! 🙏
You’re welcome! I’m so glad this helped you.
Absolutely second the finger positioning tip, my teacher calls me out on that all the time and it's the single biggest thing that improves my speed and smoothness in playing.
pretty much like the way you present everything Sir
Love these lessons Nigel 👏👏😀

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it Mark.
A lovely way to spice up Honeysuckle Rose, loved it.
I just started studying some jazz after years spent playing classical music in a local band and that one has been my first standard, can't wait to try this line.
I love these type of videos that breakdown the process into easy to follow steps!!! Thank you!

Thanks Manuel, I'm so glad it's useful for you.
These lessons are great, definitely keep doing them.
Cool thanks. Will do.
You make it look so easy. Great lesson on technique and building speed. Currently I cant keep up with your fingering warmup. Look forward to trying this.
perfect way for beginners to learn . great job easy to see and understand.
Glad you enjoyed it Elaine.
Great lessons
Thanks!
What kind of playing are you most interested in Tony?
Nigel, thank you so much for all you do - great tips! I especially appreciate seeing the close up insert screen of finger placement - excellent resource to have as a model!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it Dr Pam!
I bought my first brand new (cheap) saxophone when I started. I wore it down in 6 months by playing it 6 hours a day. I bought a Selmer after that. I still have it after 30 years. Practice makes perfect. I taught myself but it was pretty much the same what you said.
I will be trying this as really need to improve my 'fast fingers' technique. Thanks👍🏾
Hope it helps you get there Elaine!
Thank you....trying to improve and play seamlessly. 🎷
Great stuff Elaine! Go for it.
Love your teachings....I am a new sax player....and am .earning alot...and having fun
Great to hear that Keith!
These are great lessons, providing helpful insights here on how to play difficult passages, touching on improv, too.
Cheers Don.
Interesting, first five notes sound like Honeysuckle rose. Great video and material to practice, definitely keen for more videos. Thanks for the video!! Big fan of Charlie Parker but even more so of Sonny Stitt and amongst lots of other players.
Very helpful and I will be giving it a try in this morning's practice. Thanks Nigel.
Go for it Stephen.
Brilliant lessons
Great lesson, structured to progress in realistically manageable 'bites'. I always want to start with the end product, which is a recipe for despair! Memo to self: start slowly and keep it that way until thoroughly mastered, then speed up in small steps, just as the man said!
Good plan Paul. I’m glad this helped you.
I think I like the slow version better. :)
You're such a good player, sound better than most on youtube.
Thanks.
Ha! Cheers.
You’re a pro would so much like to play the sax aww 😩 don’t have a sax, maybe be one day😄
Yes, Nigel, I like specially these types of lessons. As soon as I have watched this video until the end, I will go to practice on it. I have printed it out already. Tempo 100 is not so fast, let´s see at what speed I can play it in a couple of days
Brilliant! Go for it Marco!
@@McGillMusicSaxSchool , Dear Nigel, I have practiced it today for more than an hour already. After a small rest and a drink, half an hour, I will continue with Bird Bounces for one more hour hour, maybe even more. This piece is difficult also.
great stuff Nigel. I am a subscriber. Is there a chance you can do this same bebop line for tenor. thanks Nigel
In that particular example I'd like to know if you used any alternate fingerings? Side C? Bis key? Side F#? I think all three of those would help make this passage smoother.
Great question David. In this passage in just using the Bis Bb alternate.
5:03
Thanks. Will try this tomorrow (too late now after band practice but have had a nice time listening to My Old Flame)
Yes I like these lessons
Any chance you could put the chord symbols on the chart?
That's a great suggestion Steph. The progression over the 4 bars is just ii, V7 I. So for Alto that's Gm7, C7, F. Tenor: Cm7, F7, Bb. Hope that helps.
@@McGillMusicSaxSchool thanks x
Please I need workout sheet.
How can I get it?
I love your technique lessons Nigel and this is no exception. I would say that some of us would need to slow it down to 60-80 BPM initially - I certainly do anyway 😂
Hey no problem with going slower Bev. It’s the process that’s important not the speed. Glad you liked this session.
I wish I didn’t feel so lost navigating anything online.
Lots of us feel that way Tommie. Our new Sax School LITE makes it easy to navigate. Check it out here: saxschoolonline.com/courses/
How many weeks will it take for me to be able to play The Flight of the Bumblebee please?😂
Sighting reading problem 😔
👊
