Hello Lynden,
Thank you for your very practical, easy to follow approach to playing the saxophone. I first bought a new Selmar tenor in....1984! I, like you was largely self taught. The scales scared me! So I only played where I could go, very limiting! I sold this sax about 8, 9 years ago. On the day before the first big Lockdown, 2020, in New Zealand, I shot down to the city and bought a soprano. Now, with the technology of UA-cam, I bought a cheap tutorial and an App for tuning and metro, TE Tuner. I practiced for at least one hour per day for 40 days. Then we went back to work. Though I liked the soprano, I missed, the tenor. I started to think about what I really wanted, and decided on a used top end Yanagisawa. I rang my shop, really a bunch of skilled instrument technicians, and not a music shop at all. I asked if they ever would get an instrument like this. No, never. But one just came in this week, a deceased estate! I listen to Jamie Anderson, Get Your Sax Together, and he is good. But you have a way of taking down the barriers and making it so anyone who wants can become proficient at playing the sax. I'm 63, and want to be at professional level within two years. I've had my tenor for less that two weeks and can play in all scales, but no that fast. I am for accuracy, knowing that speed will come by itself. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Keep up the good work! All our best wishes from Down Under, In New Zealand, the Land of New Zeal!
Phil thank you so much for this, I’m so happy that you’re finding my tutorials useful. Your journey sounds amazing 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Thank you Lyndon for your enthusiasm and encouragement. Hope to see you again at the Stables next week
Thank you Rob 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Another great video, Lynden. Can't wait to try out these licks when I practice this afternoon.
Art thank you so much, really happy that this is useful for you and thanks too for your support on PayPal 🤝🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden
I like so much your videos, is like there are a lot of imposible contents of improvisation and jazz, and then there are yours: simple and powerful. Thanks!
A little question: I found a bit strange to use G# in the D blues scale, for me the right notation is Ab. Do you can explain why you use G#?
Hi Juan and thank you for your message. There’s no reason to call it G# and not Ab, it’s just I think of that note as G# that’s all! 🤝🤝🤝😎🎷🎷
Wonderful Licks thank you!
Glad you like them, thank you Craig 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden, just come across your channel and am suitably impressed. I'm interested to understand what backing key/chords were being used here so I know where/when to use it. I thought I heard mention of Bb concert in the video, so does a D blues scale sit appropriately over that or am I tying myself in knots :)
Hi Barry, you need D minor for tenor sax which is C minor in concert pitch. Look on UA-cam for “funk backing track C minor” and you’ll find something that your D blues scale fits over 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
Hi, I would like to compliment you on how well you explain and if you can tell me the App you use, thank you
Thank you so much 🤝🤝
Yes the app I’m using is here: apps.apple.com/gb/app/sessionband-jazz-3/id767578896
How do you create these licks? Is it just by noodling with the scale notes and listening to what sounds good?
Hi Liam, yes exactly that. Just play up and down the scale and listen to what sounds nice. Isolate a few notes of the scale and repeat them, play around with them and a phrase will pop out. Then repeat and develop the phrase. Does this make sense? 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
@@lyndenblades thank you so much for your swift response. Yes that makes perfect sense. Because of your guidance I am now beginning to understand the whole concept of how to improvise without sounding awful 👍🎷
That’s so cool to hear!! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
That’s awesome 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
How much do you charge for lessons
Hi Anthony, I charge £50 Uk pounds per hour 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

Suggestion # whatever - if you want to sell more of your Goldington horns, why don't you do your demos on them? I don't need to know a great horn is great, I need to know you trust your own horns enough to teach on them.
Hiya, thanks for this. I have made some tutorials using them and I have two that I use regularly. The saxophones I use for gigs are the ones I’ve owned for 30 years and habitually use them for the tutorials but I totally trust Goldington saxophones to both teach, gig and make tutorials on.
