Alex Sanguinetti Videos

Great Job Alex ! Peace, TED

Brilliant 12s. I'm on my third time listening just to get it to sink in . . . thanks, Alex!

He makes look like a girl!! Sheesh!!



PS: No offense, Cindy, Sheila and Terri-Lynne!

That trumpet player is smokin!

Alex, I said sink, not sync!!!!

Rest assured your English is MUCH better than my Portuguese . . . I meant that by listening several times it might become part of me . . .

As usual the jazz master Alex Sanguinetti rips it up! Great flow!!!

Peace

I don't think I've been dreaming, but Alex put up a very nice close-up of his brushwork in 3/4 time and then it disappeared. Then just today he put up video of some wicked stickwork on a rubber pad and now it's gone! Alex is toying with the masses!

I think he's experimenting
with the links, Woof.

That previous photo is a
great shot of him, looking
at the conductor.

Alex is masterful.


Regards,

You constantly amaze me Alex. Your drumming makes me want to be in the audience and listen even after the "curtain call." Better yet, I think you're a great guy on top of your music.

Go on with your bad self!

That was very, very good!
Inspirational!

Dear Suss and Wolo (Anibal),

Thanks a lot for your words!

Warmest regards,

Hi,

a little update: now I live in Valencia, Spain. Also I started private drum lessons through SKYPE (you can watch and hear great).

VIDEO OF ME PRACTICING AT HOME JAZZ COMPING:




Best!

Alex, I am curious what your music education background is and how you got into jazz.

Dear Asaph.

Thank you for your interest!

You can go to my site http://www.alexsanguinetti.com and there is a lot of information about it,

I'm interested in Jazz since I was born because my father had a large record collection of modern Jazz, it was always my favorite music.

Why do you want to know all this?

Best regards!

You have a very "intelligent" style to your playing. Also, seeing you read a chart in one of your vids caused me to wonder what routes you took in your music education. I do not read, and have admiration for those who do.

Is there an English translation button at your site?

Thanks, the site has not any translation button. Probably you can translate the whole page with Google (right corner up on the screen).

Take some lessons with a teacher that YOU KNOW FOR SURE that can read really well (and know how to teach as well), it's very easy to read.

You can even do it with me (with Skype, on- line lessons with video in REALTIME)

Best regards!

I've tried numerous times. Just cannot seem to get the hang of it.

Old dog, new tricks, I guess.

Sorry, I don't think it's you, all my students, even 5-6 year old can read.

Most (over 99 %) students I get from other teachers can't read even if they've been studying years, as soon as they start with me they learn inmediately. I rather don't tell you more about this....

I suggest you try a few lessons with me, I'm sure you end up reading. Reading is the key to be an advanced drummer, even if you want to be a hobby drummer, when you read you increase your learning capabilities "astronomically".

8 year old student (never played before) reading in his third lesson (Clases de Bateria en Valencia):



Best,

I do believe it is much easier for children to learn to read music than the older warriors like me.

I took lessons a few times. Both drums and piano. Both gave me literal headaches.

I would ask the drummer to play things I'd see in Modern Drummer and he'd play them and I would say, "Is that what that is? I do that all the time."

My teachers were the greats as a kid until now. Lots of intent listening and playing along. I found my "voice" at the instrument and abide satisfied. Not reading doesn't limit what I do in current music endeavors. I just get curious about charts I see in magazines and would like to know what I'm looking at. I can break things down, but it's laborious and it's a consumption of time I just don't have these days.

I'm sure you do a fine job teaching. Maybe I will try again and hit you up for some lessons.
