If you are thinking of starting to play sax but feel a bit intimidated then this is the right book for you. It covers everything from how to handle your horn, mouthpiece, embouchure (how to hold your mouth when playing), where to place your fingers & which to use for which notes. And for $5 it's a great value since it covers all the right topics to begin feeling comfortable to play. Once you start to feel comfortable get his next book, "How to play Blues & Rock in 7 notes or less" & start learning to play "licks" that you can use while playing in a local Blues/Rock Band & really start having some fun!
I have been playing less than 90 days.bought my sax on .I am in Nashville and there weren't a lot of options for saxophone playing unless you are in a school marching band.I wish I got the book and read it the day I go my sax, but I read it later and it had helped.The guy writes conversationally, so it is easy to read.He even has videos to back-up his descriptions of technique.Watch some of his videos out there and you will see, he not only plays well but seems to enjoy sharing his knowledge.Play on!
Johnny has put together some very useful informtion for new sax players and for those who wish to review the fundamentals. For new players, this work will definately get you going in a simple, easy to follow manner. He also provides lots of useful infomation, such as on reeds and mouthpieces, which is necessary to know. Johnny is going a great job in promoting sax playing and to re-popularize a instrument that has unfortunately fallen by the wayside in recent years.
As a beginner learning to play the sax, and without a qualified teacher in my area, this book (combined with the website) is extremely beneficial in my learning experience.A "must have" for beginners!
Just got my student sax (I'm 46). I've wanted to play since I was in US and became a Springsteen/Clarence Clemons fan! Parents never supported my interest & I finally have money & the time!!! I hope it's not to late! Great videos. Working on getting embouchure down & this has been the most help so far.
This is a great book for people who just wanna learn how to play sax, and don't know anything about it. This book is for absolutely beginners, so if you just know a little bit about how to play sax I would rather recommend "how To Play Killer Blues And Rockin' Sax Solos With 7 Notes Or Less" also written by Johnny Ferreira.
As a beginner this brought great information about the basics. Though very to the point, I was surprised when it was already over at the end...so to speak:) Its a very brief introduction, but contains the most of what you will need to know as a selftaught beginner - as far as I can read it
Got a used sax for my son and needed something to help me get him started. I went thru the lessons and love the imbedded videos. They make it very easy to follow and understand the lessons. The fingering charts also show all the keys and the finger placement. Can't beat the $4.00 price. Great way to start. My son has no experience with the saxophone. Hopefully, the sounds will soon be more like music and less like geese.
