- Beginner lessons for the saxophone from veteran blues artist Derrick Big Walker. What kind of saxophone what reed. How place and treat the reed. www.blueswalker.com
Just discovered you today. I'm hooked. Brilliant stuff and thank you very much.
Thank you so much...I am a silly old fifty year old english guy teaching myself the alto sax. I want to play the blues, because I love the blues. All the jazz guys talk about the blues, but they don't play the real thing. You do. I just love what you do with the sax.
I am learning so much from you Derrick. Thank you.
Mr. Walker, I'd like to thank first off. I find your videos entertaining and very in depth educating. I like how you make it fun for a beginner to actually start playing something and it gives me motivation to keep playing rather than start out like basic music school and blow and A to start with. That's boring to me. Your humor his also epic. I started sax when I was 8 years old, put it down then back up at 21 yrs old and then again Now at 42 year's I'm still having a passion for this instrument. I live in Northern California, I would love to meet you and personally take a few one on one lessons with you. Thanks again your a awesome player and have some beautiful horns.
had my sax about 2 weeks and watching your video has inspired me .totally brilliant,ive played guitar for 24years and now its saxaphone time.oh yeah.i really do appreciate your videos,keep them coming please,regards terry.uk.
Excellent Derrick I have a selmer alto V1 1972 for 3 yrs,Now a selmer 80 series II Tenor 1995 only 1 week so your info is Brilliant thanks again.

i've only just found your videos, and have played the saxophone for a while but stopped due to circumstances, i love the instrument and the music but i have never really had a source for learning the blues, so thank you for making your videos, we dont have much blues down here in australia
thanks again

THANK YOU VERY MUCH... YOUR HUMBLENESS HAS IMPRESSED ME...
BEST TEACHER...

Awesome! Just what I was looking for..... the Real Deal! Thanks.....going to the next video lesson :)
Perfect. Waiting for the next one.
thank you very very much for the video. it is exactly what I need. played years ago and of course I forgot a lot of the true basics
Hope you continue these lessons. I'm learning a lot. Thanks!
Great video! I used to play the alto sax in middle school and been wanting to pick it up again. I think I will after watching this.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
LOVE these sax lessons so much thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After searching for so long for a good video I finally fucking found one! I just like music that is why I picked it up. It is amazing how awful the other videos are. Seems like people aren't playing for love of music but to impress someone else.
I loved this video, im new playing the alto sax and realy like blues becouse its a very expresive music. as soon as i can im going to dos my reeds. thank you men
Very good lesson. regards.
great job bud....you and me!.....we are doing the same thing!....just that im doing it in spanish and teaching a difrent style.....but we are doing it for the same reason .....cuz ther was nothing out ther.....and you can hear kids in my background.....lol.....keep it up!!!!
I play on a 3, and working my way to a 3.5 that I have, and I play an alto Eastman Sax. Though I am trying to work my way up to what my amazing teacher plays and thats a 5.
Pls keep posting your by far the best Sax teacher on You Tube, I started learning the G Major scale then switched to a G blues scale, Should I concentrate on just the Major scales to start with?
great videos, thanks!
Hi great to see your videos theyre very helpful ..many thanx :)
The greatest saxophone player in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, NO ONE SURPASSES HIM, THOSE ON UTUBE DO NOT EVEN COME CLOSE, IS BOB HENDERSON WHO PLAYS FOR JIMMY SWAGGART MINISTRIES, IF YOU DOUBT IT GO HEAR HIM PLAY. HIS CHEEKS DO NOT EVEN PUFF OUT AS HE MAKES IT SCREAM AND SQUALL THE BLUES.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!

sweet!!!!!!
thanks :)
hi derrick pleased to meet you.
I like how you show the keys and explain the notes i have been teaching myself on and off for several months now and my notes are flat or some days i can not play at all,very frustrating sometimes and feel like i have let myself down.
I just want to play like others ie experienced as i put it,I am probably trying to rush it.
I have managed to teach myself Madness one step Beyond and this sounds in tune only some times i get a loud squeak i dnt know why this is ?
I never new that the small key at the bottom was a c
Are there any bands like Madness or Speacials etc that play the sax as i love this type of music or do you know of any reggea thats simlar.
Any advise on playing the sax would be highly apreciated.
kindest regards

Sorry for don't answering you guys life is complicated.
No worries. Thanks for your channel!
Please could you make some gospel licks too?
God kissed you on the forehead when you were born and gave you a gift!!!
With the very greatest of respect to Derrick, telling a newbie that they need to go out and buy a pre war vintage horn to play blues is spectacularly bad advice. Vintage horns mostly have tuning 'quirks', many will have worn keywork which will be difficult to keep in regulation and have old fashioned ergonomics which make them less comfortable to play than a modern horn. A new player does not need to be struggling against that when they are learning. Also, to say that you can't play the blues on a modern sax is just complete bollocks!
