My first decent (actually better than just decent) high G ever - you showed in minutes what I didn't know for decades! Thank you thank you thank you
Thanks
Finally, I can comfortably play a altissimo G! Thank you, brother!
Cool!
#3 is a lifesaver thank you
B (1) key w/ side Bb and F# trill key = nice clear stable G
First time I've been able to consistently hit the G (with B and side F#)! Thanks.
Happy to help!
One (B) with high F# works great for me. I play a Keilwerth SX90R Shadow Tenor with a 6* Morgan Excaliber hard rubber mouthpiece & a 4s D'Addario Select Jazz reed. Been playing on this setup since 2003. Like your vids man. You do a fantastic job...thanks....
A comment for a great man! Good material, thx.
Thanks
Thanks for getting back to me, Maestro. I love my Conn 10M. Dexter Gordon played one at least part of the time. You deserve all of the praise you receive. You're a great communicator.
Thanks!!
Ur a very good instructor. .thks for the videos..
Thanks
You are a gem, sir!!
Thanks.
Cannonball needs you on their site.
LOL. Maybe in the future.
Great Stuff, I've got loads to learn! Thanks again for the vids.
Thanks, Sirvalorsax! I have been trying to get a better sounding fingering for G for a while so I can get a better sound towards the end of Hawk's Body and Soul, because the old ones completely set off the mood. You're very appreciated! Thanks again.
Thanks
Great! The altissimo g is such a difficult note to produce, I prefer the teardrop with the high F sharp key myself, but I'm definitely going to be trying one or two of the others that you've demonstrated. Thanks for taking the time to share what you know.
14 altissimo fingerings < 12 fingerings two BONUS fingerings
You just added to my values, God bless you
Thanks
At fingering #6 police knocks at my door 😅. Thanks Sir great as ever
LOL!
L1 RF# paddle, Finally!!! Thank you!😃
Thanks you so much for your video, it really helps me.
I have something new on the horizon....
Thank you sir!
You bet!
Cool lesson.
Thanks!
I always use the easiest one, with the B and side F#. The tear drop with the palm F# doesn't come all the time. I have to be warmed up. Great video.
Thanks
I play a King Super 20 Alto, and can not hit Altissimo G. Really I can hit it, but it's so flat it is closer to F#, so it's worthless. I'll try all of these, that don't require the high F# key. I'm desperate for anything that works.
#3 !
maintenant je vois les doit du dessous ,main droite.gooood
what should you work on if you cannot hit altissimo G? Plus my tenor doesn't have the side F# key...
Hey man, that was great! Do you use for everyone position the octave key or not in all?
Oh yes!! Octave key for all fingerings!!
Was that a bass sax in the intro? Also, I've just stumbled across your channel and I think I'm going to stick around for a while.
Very nice observation!!! It is actually a tenor dropped one octave. Thanks for tuning in
First- just wanted to say that I love your content and keep up the good work!
Hey, my names Nick and I've been playing the sax for about 8 years now. I started on alto, went to primarily Bari for ~4 years and am now primarily a tenor player and have been for about 2 years. I'm currently playing on a hard rubber link #7 with java green 3 1/2's and am finding that it lacks the projection and personality of many other pieces I've heard. I want something that I can wail on, but still control, so not to bright. My price range is a bit limited, but I'm working on it. Just wondering if you could recommend anything- I've seen almost all of your mouthpiece reviews, but you just sound good in all of them, so it's hard to differentiate. Any suggestions?
Hello Nick and thanks for tuning in. My first recommendation would be to check out the "bargain bin" at your local music stores. There used to almost always be a used mouthpiece section there where you could try them and buy them. This will give you the least amount of hassle for the least amount of money. As far as new mouthpieces go, check out some Theo Wanne discontinued models that are selling new on Amazon. I got both of the Dattas for $245 each. Even though they are both bright pieces, you can check to see if some of the others are better suited to your taste at SUPER REASONABLE prices. The L8 Dukoff is a really great starting point as well. Be sure to know what the return policy is for anything you buy so you are not stuck with something you don't like. I managed to get my Vandoren T6 small chamber with a $70 ligature for $285 this way. If you are still to sure what to get, I would say 1st make sure you can try it for a while and return it if you don't like it.... this way you can at least find what you like at very little cost. It gets FREAKISHLY expensive when you take into account Tenor, Alto, Bari and Soprano so Good Luck
Some good stuff there. Are you a cruise ship? Are you in the ship band?
Yes and thanks for tuning in!
Hi!
I have played Alto Sax for 15 years, since I was 7 years old, and 5 months ago I bought my first tenor.
On the Alto I can go easily on the upper altissimo register, about 1 octave and half upper than F#.
But on Tenor, I can't play overtones! I tried lots of positions but nothing. I have a professional Sax and a very good mouthpiece, so the problem it's me, not the instrument.
What can you suggest me, to approach altissimo notes on Tenor Saxophone?
I underline I have played Alto for my whole life, it's the first experience on Tenor.
Thank you very very much

Thanks for all of your lessons ! Do you have a pdf sheet with all these fingerings to download ?
Can you explain me what the right hand do in the position #3?
where can I listen to the intro song (jubilee)? I'm trying to transcribe it
I haven't officially released it yet. I am making plans to rotate "free" tracks on my website which also in still a work in progress.
my Selmer Mark 6 has no side f# key so many of these positions don't work for me
Front F plus side Bb keys. Make sure F key is adjusted so it doesn’t open too much, that makes a big difference.
Hi Maestro! I wanted to ask if my Conn 10M will have any issues with these fingerings or not.
Hello and thanks for tuning in to my channel!! First I should tell you that I don't have a Conn 10M to know for sure but what I have noticed in my experience is that some older "pre Super Balanced Action" tenors that have less curvature in the neck have been "challenging" to play altissimo. I would say if you can try altissimo on other tenors with a "curvy" neck and they work for you, try that neck on the vintage sax. I struggled with altissimo on my pre 1940's Martin Committee tenor but when I swapped a Cannonball neck, it was super easy. (It also made my Martin sound like a Cannonball). Remember that the neck is an extension of the mouthpiece so its important too. Good Luck!!
I have a Yamaha 4 mouth piece with a Rico 2.5....Its almost impossible to reach the Altissimo notes. Should I just keep trying or upgrade? Or does it even matter???
It absolutely matters. Usually, teachers will tell the students it's not the horn or the equipment because if the student believes its something mechanical, he will always blame the equipment. I would step up to something better but not too expensive. This way, there are no excuses. Thanks for tuning in to my channel
Thank you~
Please G# key~tell me~~
