    On his version of “anything but love” James Carter just blew air through his horn during the break.
    That is like an altered dominant scale starting from the 7th. A mentor once told me that an altered dominant scale is really just a major scale with a raised root.

    • @samuelbrown434

      that's a good way of compartmentalizing the altered scale. It's also the 7th mode of melodic minor. Which sounds like too much until you realize you can use various modes of melodic minor for Half Diminished chords and Dominant Chords.

    Speaking of Mario, with the recent re-release of Mario 3D World, I started learning its saxophone lead "Super Bell Hill" theme. Never played that game, but the soundtrack went places, like how they pulled out funk for Bowser's theme, lol

    Sirvalorsax... I really dig your video format! It's been years since I've played... I'm about to get back on it. That ruining the tempo bit you mentioned brings back memories...that's more serious than what the casual listener will ever know. And the Rap analogy is right on, the solo break should be like one's own signature. No one should be going around forging checks. Keep it going brother.

    I know a guy that would play "Go Go Power Rangers" in every solo break he got for like a month. If you commit hard enough if it's both funny and awesome. I'll have to use the Magic School bus some time!

    I think the creator of Amazo made the baddest android ever, it could copy powers from any meta, including Superman, and eventually became self aware, and theoretically could destroy a planet or even a dimension of existence. In any event, the Zhad Vash is watching!
