Why are overtones so important? It all comes down to actively working on getting your tongue in the correct position. Once your tongue is in the correct position, you will have better breath support and a fuller, fatter saxophone sound. Overtones give you a LOT of bang for your buck in the practice room so let's dive into tongue position, overtones, and breath support in today's show.

Thank you, this finally made sense why I could not get those higher notes. Now just to get my fingers to work to play instead of scales.

Yeah, tongue position helps a lot with getting those high notes to pop out!
After watching 1k youtube videos and reading a lot of articles.. I finally was able to do the 3rd overtone following your indications!! thank you.
OMGOODNESS! This is the first time that I have even understood what overtones are. You are an awesome teacher!

Thanks Mary!! Welcome to the world of overtones
You are just amazing. I stopped saxophone lessons for the frustration of not being able to tongue in merengue arpegios(I am from Dominican Republic) and merengue requires a fast tongue. Every teacher I took classes with told me the same bad information. "You should tongue with the tip of your tongue. But with you all was very clear. It's all about tongue position. Nobody says this. They tell you they your tongue should be quiet. Thanks so much
great video!
FANTASTIC video, as always :)

Thank you, Scott! The "aahh" tongue position solves my "gunshots" kind of sound on low notes.

Yeah, correct tongue position will fix all kinds of low note problems!
This was very helpful for me. I’m a long time sax player, but new to bari, and I couldn’t figure out why my low notes on bari were getting undependable. Couldn’t figure out why I could run down all the way but I couldn’t start a run up from anything below low E. Scared to do a bass line arpeggio starting on a low tonic. Now I understand how I do it on tenor, but forgot how I was doing it. It seems like tongue position, and oral chamber size are exaggerated on bari.

Yeah, absolutely! On the bari you've got to open your throat and drop your tongue super low to get those notes to pop out
What about tongue position while bending notes ?
Thanks, Scott!! But you didn't talk about where is the tip as you said in another video... I'm dealing with that lastly

This was more in regards to overtones. I've done a few videos on how to tongue on the sax. Check them out.

@@ScottPaddock I've seen all of them!! You mean that for overtones the tip works differently..?
Clear as a whistle. One question. When practicing overtones do I use octave key or simulate sound with tongue position only?
@ScottPaddock
Жыл бұрын
Thanks Eric! I'd suggest doing it without the octave key. If you use the octave key it's kind of a small cheat, but some people do use it. When I'm using overtones in a solo, often times I will use the octave key just because I am already playing higher notes. However, when I practice overtones, I never use the octave key.
