Which Minor Scale should I play?

- In this video, we begin by ensuring a complete understanding of what a minor scale is, explaining the "recipe" for building one. Using D minor (D-7) as our key example, we break down what D-7 means as a chord symbol.
We then dive into the different types of minor scales, including the Dorian, Aeolian, Minor Pentatonic, Blues, and Harmonic Minor scales. For each scale, I explain its construction and provide you with some beautiful licks or phrases that you can play, suitable for both alto and tenor sax.
Additionally, I’ve provided a free worksheet for you to download, which you can find here: www.saxmadesim...

Thanks!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
You are a UA-camr that gets BETTER with age! 58 is nothing!!! You are in your prime as far as being able to teach us this stuff! It amazes me how you are one of the few (out of dozens and dozens...and dozens!) that I've been able to find that explains concepts so they are digestible, in layman's terms. You have that gift and we are grateful you do!
Laura, thank you so much, it’s very kind of you to say 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
This video is 1000% worthy of rewatching over and over to get the concepts ingrained. Thanks for explaining to such depths and how everything relates to each other. 🎉
You’re so welcome and thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Thank you for showing me how to jam with scales definitely not a boring lesson on scales ❤
Andrew, you’re so welcome thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Hello Lyden. Honestly, your students have a amazing chance to learn with you. I knew this but the time for me to think dorian until melodic minor on 251 took me a so long time. And everything you teach is done with simplicity and smile. Congrats ❤
Thank you so much Kooky 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Another great vid thank you so much Lyndon
You’re so welcome, thank you 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
Well Lynden I used to hate scales but following your videos I have to say I am finding them an invaluable addition. I have a good tone and style of playing but my improvisation is improving and my ear to transcribe a piece of music is far easier after playing up and down scales
Raymond that’s is so awesome to hear, thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Yet again a great explanation. I was only thinking yesterday while walking the dog why are there so many Minor Scales!
I did not know that you could draw from any of them in any situation on minor chords.
Unless your taught this you would not know.
Makes more sense now.
Thanks 🙏 😊
Gary you’re so welcome and thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

Thank you Jeremy 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Another great video Lynden. Bookmarked! In fact I have bookmarked loads of your videos. More than everyone else's put together!
You make it sound absolutely loooovely 😊
Awesome, thank you! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
Lynden, I always get a jolt of excitement when I see another of your videos. This one is, as always a cracker. Like others, you have transformed my experience of scales. I bought you another coffee to offer my sincere appreciation. I have two questions: You write the chord in the top C scale as C major7 (c d e f g a b) can you tell me why C major 7, when I thought natural notes in C would be C major?
Secondly, I can see how these lovely scales fit into a single chord backing track. But if I were to play to a backing track in the key of say, d minor, which had different chords in the same key, can I just play the chord tones in a d minor (or blues or Harmonic etc) scale, or do I need to know the other chords in that track and play the chord tones that correspond to the chord which is being played? Thanks again.
Vic thank you for this and for the coffees, I really appreciate that. If you email me lynden@saxandhoney.com it’s a bit easier to answer you there 🤝😎🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden, I really love your tone on the tenor and I've noticed something lovely that you do that I'd like to try to emulate but can't figure out. As you play up the scales e.g. at 13:19, you do a little wiggle on the D which sounds great. Is that lipped, or is your right hand doing something on the keys (it's hidden behind the notes so I can't see).
I'd love to know how to do that, and how you choose which note to put it on.
Hiya, thank you! I’m using my lip 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
Thank you so much ! So Nice ! One question : do you use the phrygien mode ? ( which seems to be also a minor mode for D- ?) if yes, when do you use it . Thanks.
Thank you so much and yes, you could use the Phrygian in the same situation 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden, not sure if you got to the bottom of my last message where I asked you a couple of questions. No pressure, apologies if you are busy and were getting around to it:
You write the chord in the top C scale as C major7 (c d e f g a b) can you tell me why C major 7, when I thought natural notes in C would be C major?
Secondly, I can see how these lovely scales fit into a single chord backing track. But if I were to play to a backing track in the key of say, d minor, which had different chords in the same key, can I just play the chord tones in a d minor (or blues or Harmonic etc) scale, or do I need to know the other chords in that track and play the chord tones that correspond to the chord which is being played?
Hi Vic, I did receive your message and replied asking you to send me an email because it’s easy to go through this with you on email than here, lynden@saxandhoney.com 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
