I’ve been told sax 🎷 nor horns belongs in blues. What about B.B. King oh Albert Collins? I love the horn section. My father comes from the era of swing, so it’s imbedded into my soul. Love your CZcams channel, bud.
Derrick....man great tone and great licks. You obviously understand the theory behind what you do and i dig the way you teach it. I am schooled and play alot and read and can find tons of answers in books and stuff. But man just to see and hear you even teach this stuff even for me is SUPER enlightening. Its the stuff you cant get out of books...."After you play that for 30minutes..." LOL that is legit though you really got to live with the sound of those licks not just play them. Thank you man from a very grateful educator.
I'm definitely bookmarking this video! What an amazing experience it was to listen to how you explained your construction of your solo. I really appreciate the easy-going style you have. I especially appreciate the way you weave your explanations in amongst your demonstrations, showing the fingering of the notes you're playing, too. I actually listened a few times and seemed to get more and more out of what you were saying, the more times I listened. Thank you so much for posting this. You're a very inspiring teacher. If you have time, I would love to see a video of how you bend notes because I notice that you don't pinch to make notes sharper.
I play blues guitar and slide and a fair alto player but tend to try to play my guitar licks on sax ,,this is great inspiration thanks for the lesson,,,we didn't have youtube when we learned back in the day love it...
Good solid stuff a man can use...I like the be-bop scale over dominant chords. Using both maj. and min. 7ths, that symmetrical, 8-note scale, smooths out melodic lines. I got a few performance vids on the Tube...stop by sometimes.
Great video. Love your teaching style - feels very personal and keeps things simple. Thanks for showing me the b5 entry into the IV chord and for stopping me trying to rush too much ( play with the lick for an hour ). I like that your lick isn't using the blues scale, so it sounds fresh. It seems like the blues scale of the relative minor ( F#) without the D. I also play a Conn Underslung. Mine is 1939 vintage - a year newer than yours ! Please make more alto vids. Thanks
It's mostly a matter of practicing on your tone. Cavity, tongue and Larynx are the tools you have to master for achieving a nice and open tone in your sound. Try to exercise these parts for example with Sigurd Raschers' book. Very helpful for that. But as usual, takes a lot of practicing and patience.
Just found you on CZcams and enjoyed it so much I hope there are a few hours of your videos because I don't want all the other technical maestros. I just want some proper player musical inspiration, which you have.
Im inlove with your tone!!! Very rarely on youtube sax videos alto sax sounds so warmy! How can i achieve something like it on a 1700$ instrument? Mine sounds more razory and not so soft and warm. Its a deal only in technical mastery or also in mouthpiece, ligature and reed combination?
I wanna buy a saxophone,I am a guitarist,bassist,drummer ,and I recently discovered Candy Dulfer and realised how good saxophone sounds on rock and blues,beside the jazz part. I believe when I will be able to buy one,I will do. Any tip for a cheap but good or value for money saxo for a beginner? Thank you,you awesome :)
Would mind listing the notes that you are playing in a comment or better yet in subtitles? It is a bit hard to follow as you say them just with the video.
can someone explain why he says here's your A in the beginning but it's actually a C. 1:51 he says A when it's a C, then C but it's a D sharp, C sharp, but it's an E and so on. wtf?
The ALTO(not Tenor) sax is pitched in Eb. That means when he hits an Eb he is playing a "Concert" C. Three steps(keys,frets) down. On a Tenor sax or trumpet playing a C will yield a "Concert" Bb. Hard to fathom for a guitar or piano player pitched in C.
@today is not yesterday i play guitar, which i'm not sure why that matters. But yeah, i'm not wrong when he claims he's playing an a F if i grab my tuner that in fact comes up as a C note.
@@998SBayliss was popping through my old comments for fun. thanks for the response. I still don't understand at all why alto or tenor have anything to do with it. a note should be a note regardless of the instrument.

Possibly the best blues tutorial on here for sax. Huge thanks Derrick Big Walker
Thanks a million. You are a very good teacher and having fun doing it. You make blues scale easier. Thanks SIR.

Thank you, No maybe what they mean is some horn players don't belong. I use to play for Collins BTW.
I’m a bass player and am attempting to copy sax solos on the bass , this is a big help
Thank you Derrick! I wish I had you as my Sax Teacher back in the 80's. Better late than never? -Scottie

Yo, Derrick! We met when I was wandering around Stockholm with a soprano on my back. Nice video -- nice to see you!
Good solid stuff a man can use...I like the be-bop scale over dominant chords. Using both maj. and min. 7ths, that symmetrical, 8-note scale, smooths out melodic lines. I got a few performance vids on the Tube...stop by sometimes.
Damn!!! nice to meet you master "Bleeding Gums Murphy"
you are one of my favorites!! wath a sound you got on an alto. thanks a lot!!!!!!! i play the alto too. good luck my friend!!!
The lick you talk about at 2:50 is a great one -- it's in the first measure (after the intro) to Parker's Mood
Great video. Love your teaching style - feels very personal and keeps things simple.

Can you tell me the notes in the sax turn arounds at the end of each verse in the song "C'est la vie, you never can tell" by Chuck Berry?
Would mind listing the notes that you are playing in a comment or better yet in subtitles? It is a bit hard to follow as you say them just with the video.
This cat is just to tight. Damn I can't wait to get my horn back.
Is this a Tenor saxophone?
Nice horn isn't it a conn transisitional alto
I wonder where the Lord sax study, my dream is to be professional and how do I specialize al?
.... or possibly on my augmented 4...
Not quite I think. He has the 3b in there too. 1 3b 3 5 6 8
What saxophone are you playing
it's a 1938 Conn Naked Lady.
WHAT ARE THE NOTES PLS
... he names them repeatedly throughout the vid.
What Saxaphone is that you are playing please?
It's a 1938 Conn Naked Lady! I sold it to a music store in Stockholm. They still have it if you want to buy it.
He mentioned the chords a lot during this video, I don't quite understand how to play them
Alto is my main sax but i play way better on tenor sax.. espically with freestyle solos.
What brand is that horn?
PAMELA TRENT That is a Conn 6m
+ebaylistentomusic Cheers! I noticed the microtuner on the neck & immediately thought: "some kindof Conn" :)
can someone explain why he says here's your A in the beginning but it's actually a C. 1:51 he says A when it's a C, then C but it's a D sharp, C sharp, but it's an E and so on. wtf?
