@@stxrmygamesI play tenor sax and the G was also hard for me to learn when I moved up from the yts 26 student version to the yts 480 it always squeaked when I tried and now it's so easy
I'm sure you'll totally get this - all my non-musician friends saying "You LITERALLY did SUCH a GOOOD job" and I'm like, "no🤣 I still sucked, but thank you"
Been playing saxophone for most my life and has done several hundred gigs . In my years of playing I commonly hear about adults who either used to play or just want to play the saxophone but doesn’t because they are “too old”. Every time I hear that I explain to them that an adult can learn way faster than almost all children simply because a adult is more intelligent and disciplined. Thanks for making this video I can show people that you don’t have to be some 7 year old son of a musician before you pick up an instrument. Your never too old to learn!
As a saxophonist, this is the easiest concert band instrument to get the basics on, but as soon as you are all done with the basics, it becomes the hardest instrument in the band!
I’ve been playing saxophone for 6 weeks and it’s gradually become easier, it’s just my teacher won’t let us learn new songs, we have to perfect the ones when need to learn so yeah
I am a fellow alto sax player and played for about 4 years. How is it going so far? What is your highest note you did and lowest? Keep going do not ice up you will get it soon.
@@jappi09Jappiim a very advanced 8th grade 2.5 year long saxophonist I got into the high school advanced jazz band last week and yeah your really right about lowest and highest notes, some beginners might just think its a contest to see who can go higjest and lowest but it is very important learn how to voicebox early on and keep pushing yourself to try to be able to play all the notes, im working on overtones right now and thank god I knew how to voicebox cause if not I would have been LOST
I find it one the of the best instruments to learn because the trigger-key combinations really leave a lot of free ground to cover with improvisation. I have tried trumpet as well and the Saxophone feels like a walk in the park when compared to it
I am an alto saxophone 🎷 player and played about 4 years and in my experience it’s pretty easy to learn but to master is hard. I am tryna play by ear but that’s very hard.
i have been playing saxophone for 3 years and holy cow that is a lot of practice and a lot of great sounds for only a week. Anyway if you keep up practicing you could have a lot of great potential
When I saw you put the mouth piece upside down I almost cried and when I heard you try to play at the beginning I got sad. But good for you it took me a month to learn and play decent.
Ok, I play tenor saxophone too but I never played alto and I've been playing for roughly 3 years and I still struggle with low notes! It's so embarrassing, I don't know what to do
Honestly saxophone is easier when you already have experience with another instrument. For example, im a flute player and it was actually kind of easy to understand the fingerings and embouchure on my first day
Its easy to make a sound once you get the hang of it..... then the horror comes in. Trying to play in tune, dynamics that kills the note everytime you try to play softer, sore lips from embochure control, endless browsing of mouthpiece and reeds because you want better sound. You get to a comfortable zone then your ears start to get more sensitive in pinpointing inaccuracies in every note. Suddenly you realize the instrument intonation is very bad and you have to relearn your embochure and voicing again.... Thats where it got me in 18months playing as a late beginner😅
I’ve been playing saxophone for two years now, and I can say this: The saxophone not a hard instrument. And that’s because there is no such thing as a “hard” instrument. It’s just unfamiliar to someone who has never played it.
lol i’m very advanced in sax i started playing in 2020 for school and goodness i could not even blow it took me 2 whole lessons to learn how to blow anyways it has gotten me so far if you want to learn do it it is so amazing and you just need to commit
When i was in highschool i wanted to be in marching band senior year of highschool so i learned the alto sax in 2 weeks and made it in a varsity marcher lol sax will always have a special place in my heart
move ur mouth onto the mouth piece more... n flip it over. use fast air n line the reed up js perfect w/ the top of the mouthpiece. itll be easy from there but reading music isnt. i recommend finding how to play we will rock u on alto sax. very easy to learn for begginers.
I practiced A LOT those 7 days but even so, if you watch the full vid you’ll see that I didn’t actually play all that great at the end - I could have definitely used more than a week! In this short I just picked a clip of me playing that looked good, but if that clip was made a little longer on either end, I was squeekin😅
altissimo is closer to the path of mastery. the saxophone is generally easy to learn but like every other instrument, being good at it takes time. And altissimo notes are still relatively simple in comparison to what other instruments need to do to achieve the same effect(playing a high note on a trumpet takes much more time then hitting an altissimo on the sax for example)
Easiest to learn. Hardest to master.
Very true, I am a 8th grade student. I have mastered my solo and a Star Wars intro song. My hardest note when I first started was G

@@VladtheZat Same, It would always squeak normally G and E# would either squeak or sound like a rumble.
I mastered it
That hardest part about playing the saxophone is finding a place to practice in peace.
Exactly

Sure it becomes harder, but its still the easiest 😂
I think this applies to all of the reed instruments.

I have played sax for over 50 years. It takes your whole entire life to be the best you can be. Then you die!!!!
Great thanks for the motivation lol
Agree, not as long just about 3 years but still agree
Hahahahaha 🤣
50 years is absolutely insane, keep up the work
Your a master then huh😂
As a Alto Saxophone player, I was slightly offended at the beginning, but you played really good at the end👍
As a saxophonist I confirm I had a heart attack when you put the mouth piece on like that
Oh heck no bro😂 He’s gonna go through hell
In my opinion, recorder is the easiest instrument to play
Hmm, need to give that one a shot
I thought my saxophone was broke because I couldn't get sound to come from it lol.
as an alto sax player, I am crying, screaming and throwing up all simultaneously because of the way you put the mouthpiece on
Whoever at google said saxophone is easy, Me and the other saxophonists *will* find you
THANK YOU
I find it one the of the best instruments to learn because the trigger-key combinations really leave a lot of free ground to cover with improvisation. I have tried trumpet as well and the Saxophone feels like a walk in the park when compared to it
I think a lot of the fellow woodwinds were concerned that he was gonna break that reed 😭
i play the saxophone and you’re so good, most people in my band class can’t blow into their sax
Trying to avoid using band terms in a weird way *cough* blow *cough* their sax *cough cough*
The fact he did that in a week and he played better than people in my class 😂
It's actually the easiest instrument but the only hard part is to be able to make a sound when u blow into the mouth piece.
As a saxophonist, I was on the urge of crying
I literally play saxophone 🎷 and I’m over here laughing 😂😂 😂😂😂😂
When I first tried with my saxophone I was just like you and I still am😂
This precessional level editing
Playing the saxophone is easy to learn, but difficult to master. It takes dedication and practice to become a skilled saxophonist.
Wait til' he hears about Altissimo notes
Oh hell no bro he gonna go through hell
It is extremely easy to learn and with the right teacher is very easy to play some really really good music

His tone at the end is better than mine and I’ve been playing for 5 years.☠️☠️☠️

Pretty good quality after a week. You're not puffing your cheeks. That's where everyone stumbles.
I am crusing through what gave me problems yesterday. Currently learning pink panther. Such a nice instrument
You make me look terrible lol

You knew how to play already.

As a saxophone player this hurt me😂 but hey we all start somewhere!😂
I didnt this sax would be ez at all and I self-consciously chose it:
And MAN ITS GOOD
first sound like a goose 😂😂
bro i only have had 5 lessons im cracked💀
It look me 3 hours to learn with a teacher and when i moved i was as good as beginners that have played for months 😂
I learnt Violin and Sax in both 3 days, one of the hardest and easiest instruments according to google, Idrk how I did it tbh lol

What was the song you pretended to do at the beginning
Tender Years from the movie Eddie And The Cruisers, such a fav
Saxophone is the easiest because whatever note you’ll play you’ll get that note cause on trumpet sometimes it will sound weird
Haha, I believe that. I look at a trumpet and think "that instrument is HARD"
same as me getting the right embouchure is not easy and once you do its super easy and then once you start to master it it gets harder again
Easiest to learn? What about altissimo guys? Even master saxophonists miss them quite frequently, if not often
altissimo is closer to the path of mastery. the saxophone is generally easy to learn but like every other instrument, being good at it takes time. And altissimo notes are still relatively simple in comparison to what other instruments need to do to achieve the same effect(playing a high note on a trumpet takes much more time then hitting an altissimo on the sax for example)

@@cameronbrig yah
I learned the basic of alto sad and played in 2 days
in a band and i have to say clarinet is easiest, and visibly distraught when i saw that mouthpiece.
I learned how to play the saxophone in a day not even a hour of me playing before i learned how to play jingle bells it’s like a recorder lol
Easiest to learn got to be Euphonoum
Saxophone was so easy I literally learned it in a day
It is one of the easiest instruments to learn. But like anything else you need a lifetime to muster it.
If it squeaks it means you’re blowing too hard
broken reed is most likely
Yup google is the legit reason i got one to learn
I disagree with Google, I played the flute and piccolo, and I think flute is probably the easiest.
I jus wanna learn how to play Garfield
Learned it in a day bc I already played a instrument 😂
💯
