If those were eighths or sixteenths and the B's were Bb's, it would be easier to play with the first alternate fingering than the normal one (from the second link; I don't know if the other charts are the same).
Could anybody advise a book for beginning the tenor sax? I have played the piano for a few years so I can read music, but I know absolutely nothing at all about neither woodwind nor brasswind.
I started teaching myself how to play alto, and standard of excellence has really helped me! It is available for every instrument i can think of. You can find it almost anywhere.
I thought I'd add this one, as I found it really useful, concise and gobbledook free for absolute beginners (why do I still hear that riff whenever I say that word)... hope that is ok?
Hey Guys, I'm creating a set of videos with saxophone drawings of each note and sound with two main objectives: 1) Have the fingering for the scales and be able to memorize them. 2) Study whenever we can't make noise. I've uploaded a few major scales already. Check out my youtube channel it's The Visual Sound Method. Here's a video example:
I hope you find the videos useful, if you do please comment!
Cheers

I was really wondering if there's a book for "walking bass" technique on the saxophone? I mean in a sax quartet the bari sax play's the roots,but i had always this query rollin' in my mind!
Please could smeone help me i am finding it difficult to get my little finger on my right hand to play the key for low c c4 is there any alternative way to lay c4 thanks
No. You'll just have to practice until your finger is strong enough. Most people have more trouble with the left hand pinkie keys since they require even more strength and dexterity.
Also practice sliding from Eb to C to stretch your pinkie far enough to reach the C.
Do you have any physical problems with your fingers that limit your reach? Are your hands/fingers too small to reach? Are your first 3 fingers placed on the pearls of the F, E and D keys?
