  • I had to learn a saxophone solo for a last minute gig, so here is my attempt at documenting how it went!
    There are MANY musicians that do this all year long, learning more music much faster than I can. I'm not there yet, but hopefully one day I will be. So in the meantime, I wanted to make a video documenting where I'm at during this stage of my journey. Thanks for watching!
    Band: Tyler Brewer (vocals), Anne Celedonia (vocals), Anton DeFade (bass), Jacob Pleakis (keys), Brian Wolfe (drums), Brandon Lehman (guitar/vocals), J.D. Chaisson (trumpet)

    Pretty interesting even for non musicians like me. There's something about humbleness and the desire to improve that is so very appealing. It's amazing that you remain critical but don't over do it. As a teacher, I believe you're giving yourself a lot of room for learning in a healthy manner and you'll be even greater in a relatively short time.

    As a musician we all go through this type of self depreciation. I would bet lots of cash that 99% or more of the people didn't even notice. I was going to say all, but musicians tend to notice. Still, you're coming into a gig without knowing the song. I think at one point we've all been there, man, and all been too harsh on ourselves. You did fine for the circumstances, and next time, you'll know it inside out, because you've had more than 5 minutes to work on it...
    Great video! Thanks!

    I’m a fairly new saxophonist, I’ve been playing less than a year, and these kinds of video are inspiring to me. It’s really easy to feel insignificant and hopeless when you are watching others only at their best. It’s nice to know someone really skilled also struggles in their own ways.

    • @FoolishFrankie
      @FoolishFrankie  7 місяців тому +7

      That’s exactly why I made videos like these!! I’ve felt the same way my whole life, and continue to feel that way some days. Just know that messing up is part of the process

    Frankie you are silly, you are the best, solo sounded fine. 🎼everybody in the wedding party thought your solo was great. I will admit that I get freaked out when seeing you practice. The worst is to show up for a gig and they change the key on you right before the set. Playing and transcribing at the same time was always a terror for me. Something you handle with ease! You are seriously talented and can “fake it” like the best. 👍😊

  • @Ro32da72

    It's great that you can sit and analyse your own performances this way without being too hard on yourself, and it's helpful for even non-musicians to see just how much hard work goes into making it look easy! Your professionalism and desire to improve are obvious here, so thanks for making this one, it was a great watch 👍🎷

    May Tina Turner, ('The Best') rest in peace. Absolute legendess, who slayed every time she walked on a stage. Was an inspiration to so many, including the youngest generations, and definitely my generation's aspiring singer-songwriters. Great video Frankie, and like I said have a great Memorial Day weekend!

    This is a cool thing for non pros to hear. It's super common to get last minute stuff where it needs to sound the like the pro who recorded it. I heard a story of a pro trombonist literally on the stage while music is being played as the sax player is teaching him the next song, some Dixieland standard he doesn't know, like Alligator Stomp, or something random like that.

    Recording gigs seems to be pretty cool not only for us(the viewers) but for you to look back and critique yourself on things you probably wouldn't have noticed during the gig. I think being able to listen back to yourself from an audience point of view rather than a players point of view is pretty useful! Also, how often do you end up taking last minute gigs? It seems kinda stressful! 😅

    • @FoolishFrankie
      @FoolishFrankie  Рік тому +7

      It’s honestly been a crucial part of my development as a saxophonist!! And almost all of my gigs early on were last minute because I’m just not as established so I was always subbing. I’m getting called less for last minute gigs these days but they definitely still happen and if I’m available I always try to take them cause it’s good experience!

After decades of production shows, recordings, and tours, I'm enjoying playing the weddings. No one comes to those for a bad time:) I'll check later to see if you have an album I need to buy. Kudos my friend. Keep on honkin:)

    great video, brings me back to my wedding videographer days and the chaos of getting ready. Then the timer there ticking down builds great tension for the whole story. Also HUGE respect for putting this out there even though the final solo didn't go as perfect as you want, encouraging for others to see that it's not always about perfection but showing up and getting the job done, and then learning from that experience and keep grinding. Keep it up!

    It's interesting that you mentioned the concept of listening a lot and then forgetting. It's the same mechanism that spaced repetition systems (SRS) use to help you learn stuff faster (e.g. foreign language vocab). You learn something, make sure you remember it at that time, then leave it, and (ideally) juuuuust when you're on the verge of forgetting, you try to recall it (or just see it again). Supposedly the brain retains information better when it's refreshed on that edge between remembering and forgetting.
    Pretty amazing, you've pretty much created an SRS for yourself!

    Great video, I always have a hard time with the exact duplication of solos, I always add my own flair, then it feels more like my artistic expression, I’ve faced a few musical purists who didn’t like it, but I consider myself an artist so if someone doesn’t like my art they can get art somewhere else lol.
    Most the time people enjoy hearing a remixed rendition of music they love! Especially when stage presence and a love and passion for what you are doing shows through!
    All in all last minute gigs are nerve racking, I’m always nervous before the first note lol, I feel like if I don’t get nervous something may be wrong…😅

    Fascinating to see the process thank you for sharing ❤
    Would you ever write down the solo using notation??? or just keep listening by ear until it sticks?
    Not having notation to fall back on would make me SO STRESSED

      I probably should have written it down for something this last minute (I’ve done that in the past or when I have so much music I’m trying to learn for different gigs). But I usually just try to internalize it

    Sometimes feeling nervous make you forget the soli that you practiced a lot.
    But, definitely you did good, bro!

    Cool one.
    Calling a dep the same day, getting him to spend the day learning multiple new songs and not screw up... pretty pretty good.
    Wouldn't mind at all about the solo.
    It's around the end of the set as well, so I guess people was quite hyped up (and drunk) already xD
    note: must be nice being able to study the same day of the gig. We poor brass bois :(

    Been there man. One time I was scheduled to play bass for my church and then got texted at 11 pm the day before the service that our drummer got Covid. I then stayed up until 1 am practicing at my house and then woke up at 5 am to go to the church to practice. After, I played the four songs for the service at 9 am and I don’t think anyone knew any better but me and the band.
    I only had from 11pm on Saturday to 9 am Sunday to go from bass to drums. At least I knew the songs we were playing. 😂

    Sorry if this is a silly question…I get listening to the tune to learn it, get it in your head/fingers, learn the solo, etc. But is there a reason why you couldn’t just transcribe the solo on paper, or make your own detailed chart, for extra insurance? I’m a classical violinist with 15+yrs freelance and orchestra experience, but I’m currently learning bass and getting into jazz theory and I love watching your videos and seeing behind the scenes of your gigs, as I’ve always loved gigging and hope to get to that point with the bass as well someday.

      There isn’t really, I probably should’ve written it down. I just find I get more out of it if I memorize it!

    Hey, as a fellow sax player I can say that this is very inspiring! And ayyy 2nd time you played that solo on a gig sounded great!
    I saw that you are answering a ton of comments on this vid, so I want to ask this question: How do you growl like that? xD Is it like singing while playing or doing a type of rrrrr sound with your throat? However I do it, I feel like it never sounds like for example you in this growly solo. Just feel like there either has to be a way to growl I don't know yet or it just sounds different to me hearing my own voice than to listeners or something. Hope you can help me! :)

    • @FoolishFrankie

      Hey thank you so much!! I actually made a tutorial on how I growl here: ua-cam.com/video/QfIn_Tw8VaI/v-deo.html
