This month I've been learning a new instrument. I can already play guitar and piano so I decided to learn something new with the Bamboo Saxophone and cover the jazz piece Take Five by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. I set the bar at learning the first minute of the song and it took me 7 hours and 38 minutes to record a decent take.

Man’s embouchure is absolutely dire. His bottom lip is out, instead of having it curl over the bottom set of teeth. Plus, his cheek is not tight enough. Anyways, just here to help you improve Mike. Try to use tounging btw.

7th year alto sax vet here. It was so funny watching you attempt to teach yourself how to play.
Lol with that intro you know it’s going to be a good vid
I am guessing that you never wet the reed, the reed works better when it's wet and do NOT give it to other people.
You should try learning Hungarian rhapsody no. 2 on the piano in 7 hours 38 minutes
Hurdy gurdy is an unknown instrument
This guy trying to make a sound with a dry reed smh my head Anyway On to giant steps!
Alto sax is a good and easy one
Where did you find a backing track in this key?
The embouchure is so hard to look at, its like a fish suckling on a really long toe.
1:43 “Half of these notes have the same finger position!” Trumpet players: *Oh you don’t know the half of it, buddy*
I play trumpet and it’s very true
French horn
Here at least it's not like the Rubik's cube all of them require the same finger placement's
And euphoniums.
Also bassoon players you don’t know a quarter of it
4:55

That was fun as hell ! ^^
You can only play for like 20 min... Band kids: "YOU WEAKLING"
Can you learn how to build a reef tank
Oh my god that embouchure.... Your lower lip shouldn't be out of your mouth. I am not a saxophone player, i am oboist but i know that.
As a clarinet player, I can’t help but cringe at your embouchure and how far your your mouth is on the mouthpiece. No wonder why your lips are so tired.
LEARN HOW TO ROLL YOUR TOUNGE
I don’t necessarily know how this instrument works, but for a clarinet your lip posture is absolutely terrible. That’s why you’re squeaking so badly.
His embouchure hurts to look at
