    I like that you include some discussion and examples of the stylistic aspects of the genre - space, short phrases, repeated short riffs - that make even early attempts sound more like a "real" funk solo.

    Hey, Nigel! I catch ya:)
    In the sixth bar of your jam you are playing slightly different pattern rhythm than it's on the score.:P Ofcourse, both versions are super cool, thank you for the inspiration. Greetings from Bulgaria! :)

    Nigel I'm thinking about starting play saxophone. I don´t know what to buy but I know I like the bright sound of the Alto, do you know any good (reasonable) model for a budget of 500$ to play Funky Music? I would really appreciate your input.

    Can I ask why are you using the notes that are not in the major scale? Why flat 3rd and 7th?
    Thanks

      Great question Liam- it’s really just because I want to make the note choices as simple as possible.

    Is this played on a tenor or alto sax ? Brought a tenor sax but worried it’s not the right instrument for those high funk notes

    • @McGillMusicSaxSchool
      @McGillMusicSaxSchool  Рік тому

      I’m on alto in this lesson but you can also get a great funk sound from tenor. Check out this lesson : ua-cam.com/video/Mt0L666BCVM/v-deo.html Or this one is good if you’re new to sax: ua-cam.com/video/5Ozzr8nIhro/v-deo.html

      Hi. Actually I have made a decision, but COVID has delayed production. I'll have more info for you soon....

    Thanks for the lesson Nigel, but I´m a bit confused. When I tried to access the pdf and backing track I received an email that told me that I could now access the Locker inside the Members area. But in order to get there I need to join the School? With all due respect I thought it was free material. Being forced to get a free trial giving all my personal information is not what I was expecting for a simple exercise. I understand you are running a business, of course. This access is a bit misleading though. Just my two cents.
    Fantastic jam otherwise. Thanks anyway.
    EDIT: I was wrong. It is indeed free. The reason I'm leaving this comment is to stress that Nigel replied to an email I sent in a few hours, clarifying all my doubts. This is clearly a testament of great support and a well run operation.

    For a begginer session you really rush and don't show where the fingers go easily on the notes it's difficult to see what fingers are actually on or off imo

    This was obnoxious. I'm starting out on tenor, i cant see your fingering position as it got more complicated beyond bflat. Time waste for real* absolute beginner tenor.
