"Alright we have talked about lots of different aspects of the saxophone and now for a little bit of exercise and practice on your horn to get real familiar with your horn you are going to need to know the chromatic scale. The chromatic scale is basically going through every single note on the saxophone or the keyboard. You can play the chromatic scale with any instrument. You are going to need to play every note, every sharp, and every flat. An easy range to start in on the saxophone will be the D chromatic scale. The name D chromatic scale indicates what note you start on. I am going to pick the low D to start on and I will just run through this chromatic scale with you on my fingers here, you have D, E flat, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, B flat, B, C, C sharp and D with your octave key again, come back down and that is the whole chromatic scale. I will just run through it real fast so you basically know what it sounds like. You are touching every single note in the whole universe. Here we go. And that's your chromatic scale, practice that a few times."

on 1/14/2009 Thank you for your videos.
Can you give some insight into using the chromatic fingering for F#. I noticed you used the normal fingering and was just curious what your opinion on it is.
Thanks!
