I'm continuing the theme this week of bringing you easy Christmas songs that
you can play if you're a beginner on sax, although even if you're more advanced
you can still enjoy playing these songs because the backing tracks are pretty lush!
We're doing a very very simple Christmas Carol called Silent Night, so here we go,
here's the first phrase, played nice and slowly for you... k
Now here's the first phrase played slightly faster...
Now here's the second phrase of the song, played slowly...
Now that second phrase, played a little bit faster...
Now, quick note - that second phrase, you're gonna repeat it in the song so you've
got the first phrase, and then you repeat the second phrase, which is exactly the
same twice in a row. So, moving on now to the third phrase, here it is played nice
and slowly for you...
Now the third phrase played a little bit faster for you...
And the final phrase sounds like this, played nice and slowly...
So here is the final phrase, phrase 4, played a bit quicker...
In this next performance, where I played the whole thing through for you, I
decided to play it on soprano, so thought it'd be quite nice, and for all you
soprano players I don't want to leave you out with the wind on the channel
either, and then after this, I'm gonna run the backing track and you can play it
for yourself. Just for fun, or for your friends and family. So stringing it
all together it's going to sound like this. Remember there's a little
introduction there as well, so wait for the intro, and then you're in. Here's what
it sounds like...
Now it's your turn - I'm gonna run the backing track. Remember there's that
little introduction in there. Have fun, here we go, enjoy yourself!
That's it for another festive week on and Get Your Ssax Together. Hope you
enjoyed learning how to play Silent Night - we'll be back for one more
