😀
You're instruction is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help open up the world of music.
I hope one day I can return some form of meaningful favor back to you.
Thanks for a fine video lesson.
Thanks for watching
Really great content mate, congrats! I study jazz in uni and found your content extremely helpful, not to mention your videos about your mouthpieces or your reeds review! Absolutely brilliant! I'm blessed I've found your chanel, it's always nice to have a practical video for all those things that we learn!
Thank you for sharing this video
Cool 😎
Man, I am glad to find your videos! I love the way you present.
Thanks, feel free to share them
Thanks Sirvalorsax! Here's something I learned that I've found very helpful.
On a static tonic chord, weave back and forth between the tonic chord and the dominant chord. Bach did this and it sounds very good. I recommend using what I call the b9 arpeggio for the dominant side. For example, weave back and forth between the Am and the E7b9. Where:
Am - A, C, E
E7b9 - F, G#, B, D
To start, try 2 beats on each side. Release, tension, release, ... Home, away, home again, ...
You can add an F# (man 6) to the Am (tonic minor). This can be used over the cadence or the static tonic. Likewise for the relative major C static or cadence. Same notes. Very good for the ear. The b9 "chord" is just stacked minor thirds. Very useful and one of the keys to the improvisation kingdom I believe.
To use the Bebop scale from the 3rd degree as a lydian mode seems quite similar to your 'reverse diminished' scale you showed us a while ago. Very nice, thank you.
It blows my mind! A video to see several times! 🎼🎶🎷🤟🏽
Thanks
Wow, i just took a break from working on soloing on one chord and i come online to see this. Thank you!! VERY NEEDED!!
Cool, thanks for watching
You have a wonderful tone .
Thanks
Thank you sir.As a guitarist very helpful !
😀
Love, Love, Love your videos. I am harmonica player (45 yrs. was full-time at 20 yrs of age) but, listen to sax players (actually do tunes/arrangements from Sanborn, D. Koz, Maceo, Marienthal) even though I cannot keep up with them harmonically. Also, drummers, Bass players help expand horizons too. Understand this video was more of harmonic interest, if you add timing/phrasing, ideas for a cool Myxolidian/Blues Scale tune, check out Little Walter's "Roller Coaster" 1 chord Vamp. It's Bo Diddley playing the guitar and it's a cool journey, great amplified "horn tone" for the humble 10 hole diatonic harp.
You are a great person. If you came to Berlin write me down here please. I have to hug you for all your job. Thanks
Thanks for the short cut approach.. you really got to the point for better note choices....C maj7 = G maj bebop (sweet)
I remember my instructor’s teaching method. I couldn’t figure out what those notes and chords were in the beginning. I worked mainly on learning those notes in sharps and flats, major and minor keys were a challenge (and still is).
When I was learning improvisation, I focused on that single key or chord. We word on a slow blues in F song( I think it was F-minor). My instructor played the piano while I played and listened at the same time. I played a solo that was improvised and it stayed in tune.
When we played other songs, the chords were changing and sometimes it scared the hell out of me.

Better understand chord changes, I listened to Motown songs to study the chord changes. Stevie Wonder’s My Cheri Amor was there probably the only Motown song I listened to only for the chord changes. Other songs from other genres and musicians followed. I wasn’t very good at learning music theory, but I do know it would be helpful in the future.
First time I've actually heard the modes performed distinct from each other. Really helps musically as I don't really get the theory. Thanks . Loving your videos
Thanks
Love the saxophone sound though I only play nylon string classical guitar!! Very enjoyable session!
Thanks
Here's a comment for the algorithm eh: saxophone, jazz, music, learning, meme, helpful, solo, how to, chords, ye haw
in that solo at 3:30 were you playing 1,3,5 of the a&c blues and C^7 theory makes my head spin
Awesome content. Thanks so much. Especially enjoyed the approach you suggest to dominants. It radically simplifies the use of altered notes and immediately takes advantage of hours and hours of scale practice.
Thanks
Actually, at 6:02 you mentioned that it is in concert pitch:) Anyway, you are wonderful, sir! Thank you!
Thanks for your informative video! For your M7 chords, you could copy-paste this Δ instead of using ^!
Damn.. every time there is a V8 in the background sound I stretch to look out the windows here, get fooled almost every time ^^
Thanks for you videos man! ohh.. and Great intro tune!
👨🏾🏫. I don’t even play sax 🎷but bro was teaching!!
Thanks
HEXATONIC SCALES. They are so amazing and you can make so many
Nice, thanks for the info
Most interesting view on the cycle and from there on a quick access to scale alterations for dominant chords. Looking at the notations, there are just two questions left: 1. It seems that only the lowered notes are given in the concert key line. Why do You show the natural d in the mixolydian mode? 2. why is everywhere a natural e notated in the bass clef line, while the modes are minor? Natural e is only 'correct' in the mixolydian and in the locrian scale ( the latter actually is not e but a lowered f).
Great vid Sirvalor! For those maybe confused by this concept of "adding flats" to generate options of modes over dominant 7 chords, this might help. Thinking only in flats, and thinking only in numbering tones 1-8, then compared to your regular old major scale, the modes have the following:
Mixolydian: 7 is flat
Dorian: 3 , 7 are flat
Aeolean: 3,6,7 are flat
Phrygian: 2,3,6,7 are flat
Locrian: 2,3,5,6,7 are flat
This is why he refers to this as "adding flats"
Thank you!
Hey man!
Really like your channel (:
When are you planning to talk about non resolved sus chords?
(Good example for a song like that is "everybody loves the sunshine" by Roy Ayers, love that song! )
Really looking forward hearing what you have to say and play.
Peace
i'm a guitarist studying jazz, so those dominant chords were just major scale modal superimpositions except for the lydian dominant? love the channel, liked and subscribed!
Hey man great content, really enjoyed it. Can i ask you some records where i can see these principles applied that i can transcribe? Maybe some records you like, even one name is ok :)
I like to use harmonic major (C, in this case) because it has the A flat in it, you can use that to transition to C diminished (whole-half) or A melodic minor and resolve it in C major.
hi, hope you dont mind me asking but what quality of chord would you use the whole half on? i understand it's the half whole on an implied ii-v progression?
@@ziggybongwater7915 Yea that is correct. You have one chord but you imply different harmonic movement in your solo.
Here are some masterful performances that illustrate that idea. Not the scales i mentioned necessarily but implying harmony over static chords.

How do I stream or purchase the thing that is playing in the first few seconds? pretty cool!
Yeas MTF! Long time no see :)

Hi! What are exactly notes when You play C bebop scale? They are the same ascending/descending? Thx
These are the notes of the major bebop scale. They are the same ascending and descending. C D E F G G# A B C
Your voice sounds like morgan freeman 😀
try Borb oliver Adsolute teno # 7 mouthpiece you can search on ebay and it is cheap inside so not suspicious cheap 88,128 dollars etc health
Only thing is on your dominant example on the one that was supposed to be dominant you hit that sharp 4! no I lied my ear is a little tone deaf! second note nows clearly a third but lick sounds good with #4 to replace it too.
Say whaaat lol. I have lots to learn
A, where can I get the Faure sheet music?
I transcribed and arranged this from some recordings including XZIBIT's Paparazzi
@@Sirvalorsaxcan you email it to me to study? Matthanson920@gmail.com
Do you take students?

When the chord is SUS! 😳
all you got...is a lot !

When you play on one chord, it is a straight line and you are trying to play a circle around it." - John Abercrombie.

In my opinion, any song that stays on one chord is in the same category as HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and even Happy Birthday has THREE chords! Why would anyone want to solo, or even listen to one chord, measure after measure? This is what I don't like about Rock. It is LOUD, and it is REPETITIOUS. I think for music to be interesting, it needs dynamics - not just the same volume of LOUD. And I hate the mechanical phrasing. Rock doesn't swing. It's more like a chant than music. Now, when you top that all off by staying on one chord for say 16 measures - or the whole song, what is there to hold your attention? To me, the more chords in a song, the more interesting - and the more a sax player can do with it. Add to that, dynamics like tension and release. Flexible phrasing that plays against the beat of the song, rather than mechanical rhythm. I think Rock is the antithesis of Jazz.
Most of these tuts systems are of forensic nature with half-baked interpretations of what really transpired over the years with them so called improvisation giants.
Worst case scenario.. apart from following keychanges..the guy is just throwing fingerhabits at I and V.

@@Sirvalorsax Dude I'm not referring to you. I love and respect your tuts. Please !!!Continue sharing the good stuff. God bless
