Thanks for this lesson. Finally a clear and concise explanation of this topic. Much appreciated!
You're welcome
So impressed with all the content you have on youtube Jamie. Every lesson that begs a question has links to the answer. A pylon could learn to play the sax the way you have laid everything out. Thanks sooooo much!!! Very much appreciated!!! Cheers.
Awesome, thank you Gary!
Thank you Jamie; an excellent video as always. Thanks for the PDF's, will make good use of them during practise. Happy New Year btw 🙂
Paul R - great! Glad you’re enjoying the content. 👍🏻
Great lesson Jamie thanks makes it nice and clear
Andrew Wright - thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Your videos are so useful and well done!

Amazing as always thanks
Thanks so much for watching! J:-)

Danke!
I’ve always played by ear so after many years have decided to use this lockdown to teach myself music. Can I ask what are the 12 main keys ?

Hi J,
Please I really need a practice plan, I want to really grow my playing to the next level.
Thank you
Obviously impossible to give you a real plan as I know zero about you, however, a universally beneficial plan might be to daily practice...
1. long notes and overtones (see my video on overtones)
2. scales (see my two scales videos)
3. technique (see my video on faster fingers)
4. transcribe a solo you like (see my video series, may be too hard if you're a beginner)
5. Play some pieces or studies or playalongs
Consistency is key!!
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate.

Hi Jamie, can you use pentatonic scales over Ska music,
paul hayes - yeh, definitely, although quite a lot of original early ska was based on jazz which isn’t so pentatonic based.
Very helpful but any tips on how to memorize them or is just a matter of daily repetition?
Daily reps I reckon!
I’d make a list of the songs that go with them - then one can play the scale then the song, then improv and they will reinforce each other.
Thanks so much! So the A minor blues scale basically adds in a note by flattening the 4th and changes the scale to Hexatonic? Can we do this for any pentatonic scale? On the A minor blues scale when you added Eb you changed E to #E? Last is there any reason you played the A minor blues as 7 notes and C major Blues as 5? Just curious and try to understand...picking up the saxophone myself and on day 2!
I'm a little bit confused by some of your questions, and I get the impression you might be a bit confused by some of this as well? You flatten the FIFTH to get the blues scale. A pentatonic scale has five different notes, a blues scale has 6. Good luck with your sax journey! If you want to get a bit of a handle on music theory try this series, which takes you from zero to hero. ua-cam.com/play/PLBRGEAheQrpmo8uhihW5lG1vZnMZiz6El.html
@@GetYourSaxTogether thanks and apologies. Your reply helped. My only remaining question is that you talk about adding blues notes into the pentatonic scale. The A minor flattens the 5th and now it is a 6 note scale. The C major flattens the 3rd to Eb but the major scale is still a 5 note scale in the video (c d Eb g a). I thought it would be c d Eb e g a for a six note scale as well?
@@BoredToBoard what time is it on the video?
@@GetYourSaxTogether Thanks. It starts at 4:05 and the scale on screen appears at 4:24 (5 note scale) and again at 4:48 (5 note scale) with you playing
@@BoredToBoard Right, thanks. So I think what I’m trying to say is that you can make your 5 note major pentatonic “bluesier” by flattening the 3rd. If you then mix and match and use the major 3rd AND the flattened 3rd you’d effectively end up with a six note blues scale. Does that help? Also watch my video on the blues ua-cam.com/video/tduKNPnLR4M/v-deo.html Hope that helps??
What’s your setup?
Alto and tenor Selmer Mark VI, Alto Jody Jazz HR 8M, tenor Florida USA OttoLink 9, Vandoren Java red box 3 or 3.5 on both. Thanks for watching!
Is the lick at the end of Kenny G's "Alone" ( Low D G A B, High D B A G ) a pentatonic scale? I was untold that the phrase was based off of the pentatonic scale. I know the notes but an having trouble mastering the way it is played.
Sorry, I don't know that track!
@@GetYourSaxTogether Here is a link to the song: ua-cam.com/video/pd8e_0qsW_4/v-deo.html The part I am mainly trying to figure out is @ 5:04 until the end of the song.
@@saxmanjpr5092 I haven’t got time right now to slow it down to be sure but it seems to be just a G minor arpeggio then a Gm9 arpeggio not a pentatonic.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I know that the notes are D G A B, octave D then back to B A G , but I can not get the articulation down. I've been trying for years! :) any tips?
@@saxmanjpr5092 I might be wrong but I think it might be a Bb not a B, anyway, I’d just tongue the low note and the high note?
