How to Play a Bb Minor 7th Chord on the Saxophone

MIYANNA NIELSEN: We're going to start at the middle of the horn here using the fingering known as Bes, which is the two keys played with one pointer, where like to just let go of that right to D flat, or if it's easier, C sharp. Theoretically, it'll be more correct to say D flat and more in sync with the rest of the chord, B flat, D flat, F, and the A flat, the octave on top, octave, 7th, 5th, 3rd, root. It could be a little tricky. The best thing you could do with hitting a low B flat is to make sure you have a lot of air in your air tanks, your lungs, and to keep your jaw up.
