    What etudes do you LOVE or love to HATE? Lemme know!

    What a beautiful etude, Doc! And beautifully played, as always. Reminds me a bit of Niehaus Advanced Jazz Conception etudes in difficulty and style. Niehaus Basic is the bible for all my students, then we play along with the Basie Straight Ahead charts by Nestico.... I have all the saxophone parts for all of those. We start on Harle's Easy Classical Pieces and then move to James Rae's Modern Studies rather than the Ferling, which are outdated both harmonically and rhythmically in my opinion. All in addition to daily technique of course. Advanced? After the Intermediate and Advanced Niehaus books, Eddie Harris Modern Jazz Licks For Sight Reading. Classical: Karl-Elert, Dubois, Bassi and Bozza. You have the finest content and style out there for saxophone, Wally....up there with Michael Lowenstern for bass clarinet and clarinet.

    Hello Doc... I have a confession. Never worked on an etude or exposed to one. But I have seen the term in old academic books found here and there. I imagined something boring, no fun. This one sheds a new light. Thanks, as always.

    Well, lovely tone as usual and quite the challenge. I have sooo much to catch up on, because I find myself in jam sessions in pubs and bars, backing up and trying to lock onto, all sorts of players, from punk to jazz and rock and roll, not a piece of sheet music to be seen, total improvisation, and even singing the odd song or two! My music stand still has Motion II (minor patterns around the circle of 4ths) on it - 3/4 of the way through this, but I am learning a lot, and having a ton of fun doing it. Was even busking on the street a few days ago, and made money!! Thankyou dear Dr. Wally! I presume 2-3 hours playing at a time counts as go practice??

    That last part, I hear that phrase differently. I hear 6 - 1 - 2 - b3 - 6 in D (which is the key of this etude). Yes, it’s on the IV chord, but I always think it’s useful to analyze things on the basis of the home key. When you riff on that lick, you could play both the I and IV chords with the same 5 notes. Rather than transposing to match the underlying chord. Both ways work.

    • @drwallysax
      @drwallysax  Рік тому +1

      Certainly a reasonable way to hear it. I also agree with always keeping the Home Key in mind (especially with fast moving iii-vi-ii-V or other motions). This feels like its really laying out the IV to my ear (and conveniently, easier to explain in a video ;)

    I always appreciate your videos. I've been learning to play the soprano saxophone for 20 months. I've developed an appetite for scales. Call me weird but, I think they're fun. I also feel like I'm leaning toward Blues and Pop music more than Jazz. I haven't really thought about attacking etudes much until now. Do you have any suggestions for a good etude book?

    • @drwallysax
