Scott you are not only a fantastic musician with a great tone but also a phenomenal teacher with an intuitive understanding of the struggles of amateur saxophonists. This is a rare talent. You are able to bring what you learn in your craft into your teachings. And this is a big help to us. What a great lesson!
Thanks!!! I try to break it down into really easy to follow steps. I've been teaching lessons for a long time so I have a good idea of the things students are going to struggle with. Thanks again!!
Toca con madre mi primo Scott Paddock., esta perrisimo en el saxofon con todo respeto., me gustaria tomar clases con usted quisiera que fuera mi maestro como puedo hacerle..saludos master
Thanks for a very informative video. Even though you clearly stated that this is not a video on how to create overtones, it would have still been even more helpful if you had backed away from the camera just a bit, so that we could have seen your fingers on the sax. Thanks again for another good video.
Definitely 👍👍👍 !!! Oh my god that's more than cool! Now I know what I have to practice on in the next few years....haha. 😂😂🙈 Thank you soooo much for this video! ❤🎷😃
@@ScottPaddock Hi Scott. I just visited Syos mouth piece website, and saw there are tenor and soprano mouth piece at your name. But unfortunately none for alto, could you make one ? I will certainly choose that one... Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
Overtones are usually easier on tenor. The lower the pitch of the instrument the easier it is to get the overtones to speak. BUT, don't transpose what I was telling you to do in this video. Even though they will sound different notes, start off in the key of C with the G and C overtones. That will make your life way easier.
Scott Paddock: Thanks for another great and inspiring video. I too primarily play tenor, so could you please give a bit more clarification on what specific blues scale on tenor is the equivalent of the alto one you’re doing here, and which notes within that scale I we should play the overtone for. And should they be just one octave up. As in fingering a low Bb to get the middle Bb as an overtone? I ask because the very brief instruction I’ve been given on them was to practice them every single time I pick up my sax first thing, even if for only three minutes, and I was started with the following: -Fingering low Bb except getting a middle F note out of the horn -Fingering a low B and getting a middle F out of the horn. -Fingering low C and getting a middle G out of the horn. Basic instruction was to go right into it the goal overtone. Totally stop and reset, then match the note with its actual fingering to make certain I’m “hearing” the not I’m going for as an overtone. I did this for a while and just got kind of bored with it because I didn’t know what to do with them beyond that. They only thing more boring than practicing long tones is practicing overtones. But I get the importance of doing both. So, please let me know how best to translate what your instruction in this video to tenor. Thanks!
Scott Good afternoon it would be interesting to put subtitles in the videos to do the translation into Portuguese and not to use the automatic translation of UA-cam, just a suggestion, thanks
I have a question. Why would you use overtones isn't that like imbelishments or a grace note. I learn a song to play that song I can add a growl in my mouth once in a while what is the difference between overtones, embelishments or a growl?
Overtones just gives you a different texture of the same note. The growl adds grit to it, and the embellishments add something to the beginning of the note - grace note, scoop, etc. Overtones are a more advanced technique that are used to add a different color to your sound.
@@ScottPaddockThanks and that is why I practice but if I play a mid range G what note do I play that follows to make it an overtone? Thanks in advance and you really know your way around the sax just like me in the future.

Hi Scott, awesome technique and sound, thanks for sharing these valuable information !

I would need a bigger room to get further away from the camera :-)
Definitely 👍👍👍 !!! Oh my god that's more than cool!

Hi scott! You're very good, I hope to be like you one day! What model of saxophone do you use?
Thanks Dani! I play P. Mauriat 67RX
Thanks Scott...I need to use this to add to my style...I wonder if playing this on tenor may take a slightly different approach, embochure...

Hey Paulo, I don't know how the subtitles work at all.
Hey Scott, can you do a video on false fingerings please? Thank you. I'm actually on my way to a concert as I'm typing this.
Yes!
Hey sir :) what are the notes that are needed to play in overtones ?
Hey! Check out my video on overtones, it will explain everything.

Thanks!

Positions please!!
Check out my video on overtones, that might clear some things up for you.
Is that what Kenny Garrett does?
Yeah, Kenny Garrett uses overtones.
Weird ambulance......funny
Haha!
Kenny Garrett
