Your look during 'No Rhythm' - priceless!
👍
Jamie you are the best sax tutor on the net, no question. My playing has been transformed!
Thanks Peter! 🙏🏻
Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!
You're welcome!
I’m a guitarist and think your channel is more useful that 90% of the guitar videos on UA-cam.
Great stuff 👍🏻
That’s really cool, thanks!
Totally agree. He’s a great teacher, because shows in small chunks and you get to practice.
Some of the best teaching I’ve come across
Very kind. Thanks Mark! 🙏
I love how you are thinking about constructing a solo. Spot on brother.
Thanks man!
Hi Jamey, I don't understand the English language but I follow your lessons with Italian subtitles. Glad I came across your courses. For me as a beginner it is tough but pleasant, you are very nice and you have given me so much in music. Thank you very much for your commitment. Giuseppe - Solopaca Italy
Thank you Giuseppe. I'm glad the subtitles work for you.
Probably the best lesson on improvising I have heard yet. Excellent job with this one man!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
Great Learning as always - Thanks Jamie
You’re very welcome 😊
Love it. Brilliant lesson. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant. One of the clearest how improvise videos on UA-cam
Got your total tone mastery, can't wait to for the improvising course.
Thanks Jamey.
Awesome. Thanks Tony. 🙏🏻
Thanks for great lesson 🎷🎷🎷

Thanks buddy 🙏🏻
Absolutely brilliant that Jamie i can't wait to give it a go
Awesome!
Absolutely love your tutirials only bought a altosax 2 weeks ago and upgraded the mouthpiece with yamaha 4c and ligature and yes what a difference this made
So glad to hear it!
Both these lessons have been so easy to understand, thanks Jamie, can’t wait for the new course 👍
Yup it’s gonna be awesome! Thanks Paul! 🙏🏻
Thanks, I love your lesons.
Thanks Eva. 🙏🏻
Hi Jamie, great video this is exactly where I’m at at the moment so very helpful. Chords and chord changes all makes me go cross eyed so looking forward to your next video too. Great help as always, thank you. 🎷
Thanks Daley. 👍🏻
Thank you so much man. So simple, but absolutely what I'm looking for.
Awesome. Glad to hear it 👍🏻
this is such good advice! Clear and totally approachable technique! Thanks x
Thanks Lou!
Thank you for such fantastic advice on how to approach the construction of improvised solos. Yes, one of the best tutorials I have seen on this subject.
Thank you so much Roy. 🙏🏻
another great video! I loved the breakdown, nice and easy to follow and i'm excited to explore more and more improv.
Nice one Hannah!
It’s all so obvious after you explain it ! Now I can spend a few years trying to do it
Love that!
Excellent Jamie,
Thanks for making it easy to understand.
You’re welcome 😊
Another great video. It's easy to remember and apply these soloing tips. I like how you keep things simple and how your demonstrations and instructions make everything ... FUN! 👍🎷🎶
Glad it was helpful!
What a brilliant lesson - Really good - I've been through it 3 times already today. Thanks Jamie.
Thanks Paul. That’s brilliant.
Awesome I will practice this over and over. Really cool stuff. Thank you so much Jamey.
Very welcome!
This guy, without question, is a LEGEND, keep up the great work dude🥳🥳
Wow thanks so much.
Great video! Your advice to make the last note of the phase short really changes up the feel. I like it. Wondering if you have any notes on how to end the solo, sounding like a pro and not ending on the tonic as a default.
All answered in Improvisation Mastery
Thanks for this video! I learnt a lot from it.
You’re welcome 😊
Fantastic lesson Jamie, thank you. Really looking forward to getting the Improvising mastery course.
Oh yeah, you’re gonna love it Phil. Very comprehensive. 👍🏻
Brilliant Jamie - maybe one of the best tutorials ever!
I agree 100%! This is what most of struggle with, and not knowing how to improve on it. (I don't mean to speak for anyone else.)
Yikes, thanks!!
Thanks Jerome.
Thank you, thank you! Love ❤️ you Jamie!!!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Great video as always.Many thanks for posting
You’re welcome 😊
super - love your presentation-thanks
Thanks man! 🙏🏻
Excellent Tutoria, Congrats!
Thanks Carlos
So logical, so helpful!!
Thanks. Glad you got value. 👍🏻
Absolutely superb Jamie; it might be improvisation but still needs structure. Awesome stuff as ever & always appreciated
Many thanks!
Just want to say brilliant. I'm always listening to sax music. And can recognise the steps showing improvisation. I never comment really to much . But found this very informative and inspiring and will certainly be practicing. Thanks
Thanks for your comments Ricky, really appreciate it.
#4 is my #1 thought when soloing, especially on a tune my band leader wrote "Walkin' Away" since the audience doesn't have any other pre-conceived references like typical cover songs. I'm so looking forward to your "Improvisation Mastery" course, too!
That’s fantastic Bob.
Man, this is so much fun!😆😊😁
Thank you!
Great Lesson as usual , thanks jamie
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Thanks Jamie for the good advice on how to build a solo.
Sure thing Rob!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are a great teacher! Sign me up now for your Improv course. I’ll prepay to make sure I can hit it running on day 1. :-)
Ha! Brilliant! Thanks.
Great video Jamie!!
Ta Josh!
Great lesson Jamie. I'm a good guesser and got the rhythm answer. I better go back and finish last Sundays lesson and catch up in the solo area.
Nice one Dan!
Another great lesson for improv nerds like me, really looking forward to the improv course in june..Peter,,,,Spain
Good stuff. Thanks Pete.
Excelente gracias
👍🏻
Awesome.
Thanks Tim. 🙏🏻
Amazing ❤
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video Jamie
Many thanks Gary 🙏🏻
One thing I like to do is add swing to portion classical pieces, and or make slight alterations to them and mix in at appropriate moments.
That's the beauty of improvisation.
great stuff t want to try the free masterclass
Awesome. Enjoy! www.getyoursaxtogether.com/masterclass
Thanks Jamie! Great step-by-step video-course... looking forward your new course man! regards!
And, BTW, while practicing it was almost inevitable to come out with Boney M's "Sunny"..hahahaha
Great comment! 👍🏻
thanks Jamie! Some days it feels like I am getting it! Poor fly. lol
Forgot about that blooper! I didn’t get it anyway.
Great lesson as always Jamie! The minor pentatonic scale fits just about anywhere as you've demonstrated. I'm a bit of a theory nerd, so can you tell me what the chord progression is on the backing track? The reason i ask is that the G- pent fits over it entirely. (It would also fit over the G blues progression). There are going to be songs in G that the G- Pent does not fit over so I'm trying to figure out what the sweet spot is with respect to the usability of this scale. (I'm assuming you are remaining diatonic with a G key centre but I can't pick out chords individually).
Sure thing Bruce. In tenor pitch it’s
|Fm9 | % |Ebm9 |Ab13 |
|Dbmaj7 | % | Gm7b5 | C7alt |
Hi iv been looking at loads of teaching here on UA-cam, I’m now settling here, very impressed, thanks for sharing, I been a lead guitarist for many years self taught, my wife bought me an Alto sax for my 60th ,end of February, it’s so addictive I can’t put it down , I’m trying to play to backing tracks in Gm concert , I’m trying to play Em scale on sax , but can’t find all the notes I can on guitar.
Is there a video you recommend.
Thanks you I know I have a lot to learn but love jamming also.
Well there’s E Dorian (D maj starting on E) and E blues scale E G A Bb B D. You got them down?
@@GetYourSaxTogether no not yet ,iv got D major, part of Em. I need to see the fingering, do you have a lesson for this , I’m sure you do , I’ll keep working through your videos.
Thank you.
@@freebirdofreason1994 fingering chart here if you need one www.getyoursaxtogether.com/fingerchart
@@GetYourSaxTogether brilliant thank you ,have a great day.
@@GetYourSaxTogether Enjoy your coffee cheers 🙏👍🎶
What’s the video that directly follows this one. I’ve learned so much from #119 and #120. P.s., I am a jazz guitar player and have learned more from your videos than any other guitar video I’ve seen on youtube. It’s your teaching style I am sure.
The next video was a teaser for a three-day Improvisation Challenge. Next came On Green Dolphin Street: ua-cam.com/video/3Lu-WOqEhO4/v-deo.html, then What's In My Head When I Improvise: ua-cam.com/video/dFD4AU_aBO8/v-deo.html. You'll find them all here on my YT channel: ua-cam.com/users/GetYourSaxTogether
Enjoy and thanks for tuning in!
Good morning Jamie, as an avid follower of yours , I need your advice! I am very much a sax beginner and it’s quite impossible to have access to a local saxophone tutor . Is it plausible for me to be successful as a sax player but not to a professional level by following the likes of yourself ?, I just want to do some recordings and upload to Facebook and UA-cam . Online one to one lessons are expensive £30 an hour considering it will be on a weekly basis. I would be very grateful for your input on this matter . Thanks , Robin
That’s a great question and I don’t have a definitive answer. In theory there should be enough information on my channel to get you on the right direction, but you have to self correct and that’s the hard bit. Maybe the proof of the pudding is in the eating?
Hi
Is it a good idea to weight down your motif A B C etc or is remembering them part of improvising and should be encouraged?
Yeh. Don’t write them down. You improvise them. Just keep it simple.
An interesting video. «Everybody steel from Shakespeare “. However, when you systematically are picking up licks from others and put them into your solo, are you then improvising or are you just playing another song?
When you learn thousands of words and phrases then talk, are you speaking somebody else’s words?
@@GetYourSaxTogether When you write something, you are using words that others have been using. Otherwise nobody would understand what you are saying. But I would not put the words together in the same order as Shakespeare. When you are to make a solo over a song and chords, you are supposed to be a composer. When you take somebody else’s solo and making it your own, you are stealing.
@@hansmathiasthjomoe4817 in that case, every single sax solo ever played by every single saxophonist is stealing, because there’s not a sax solo ever recorded that isn’t built using parts that have already been played by someone else. But maybe you’re confusing stealing entire chunks of solos with small phrase fragments. The finished solo is the Lego house, the licks in the middle are just individual bricks.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I’m thinking of the entire chunk, not a lick here and there :)
@@hansmathiasthjomoe4817 gotcha. Well, yeh I suppose there must be a point where the lines blur...😊
Always interesting topics thanks 🙏 for posting musical regards Paul @ #Saxocoustic_Channel🎷🎷
Anytime man. 👍🏻
Jamie please windswept bryan ferry solo sax teach us
Hey Samuel, thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to my list.
No one ever does tutorial on "Mirror in the Bathroom", guess it must be a flagged video. But if it's not could you do one? Thanks.
I certainly check it out.
@@GetYourSaxTogether cool thanks
👌🏻🎷✅
