Thank you Lynden, I now know what Blues scale to play with the band! Hugely helpful 🙂 Best of luck with the website release, I'm looking forward to signing up & checking it out! All your efforts are much appreciated!
Amazing Lynden. So refreshingly Frank , straight forward and honest. I have just sought a used ipad for session band on the strength of your videos and wow, how brilliant sb is. I actually can't wait to start practising scales again after losing all my enthusiasm. Keep it up and you will get where you want to be I am certain. All the best fella.
Brilliant Lynden, you’re a ⭐ Thanks so much for answering my question. I’m off to do Parkrun then this afternoon I’ll be in my music room smashing out blues scales and preparing for an open mic on Thursday. Cheers.
Hello Lyden. Your watchers have good questions. Interesting to realize some evident concepts can afraid some players. As a "dad" teacher, it is interesting. Happy also to learned parts of your life, especially the basket and the way you are driving your son. Thx for the time you took. Have a nice week end.
Thank you for sharing. My ears perked up when you said that frustration and anger at having your motorbike stolen multiple times (how on earth did you ever get it back multiple times?) induced you to start busking. It was frustration and anger of finding out that the cream of my crop of my lifetime vinyl record collection was cherry-picked stolen by one of (or maybe both) separate tradesmen (one electrical, one bathroom construction) that were working on my house (in quick succession) while i was working from home during the "pandemic". (I do not know which tradesman stole them, but i have an idea) My wife absolutely insists that i do not even *mention* the theft to either tradesmen. So, at the time, after having listened to some "Tenor Titans" on the Pandora "Dinner Jazz" station, I had fallen head over heels in love with the Tenor sax sound, and had been bugging my wife about her spending money ("I could have bought a SAX with that money!!!! 😫😫😡😡😂😂) So rather than spending money to replace my stolen vinyl, I decided to get my pressure cooker frustration out, and feed my desire to try to learn to blow that steam off with saxy sounds. Also admitting to myself that the expensive sax might become a "wall hanger😛" if I couldn't make sounds with it. I finally pulled the trigger, and at the ripe old age of 66, I ordered a Tenor sax online and paid for it with gift card money i had been saving for years. I'm still at the stage of learning the "Lines and Spaces" (What!!!???F is a "space" at the bottom, but a "line" at the top🤪???) and memorizing finger placement, and developing finger coordination and discipline, as well as developing my Emboucher👌. They may have to bury me with my sax to help me to continue learning it, but for now, I have the absolute pleasure of learning how to play from scratch, and now having cultivated an ecstatic appreciation of knowing when a sax "titan" is really "Showing Off", and hoping someday while i am still on this earth that I can at least start to make some of those great sounds.🎶🎷
Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me and it’s so inspiring to hear that you’ve turned a negative into something wonderful. Thanks again and keep blowing 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
From a fellow vinyl nut.I decided that for my 70th I would buy myself a sax for a present.Never regretted it.Best of luck for your sax future.Keep watching Lynden's videos.He's the best.phil
Key centre and key signature are usually related. For every key signature there are potentially 2 key centres, the relative major and minor. You mentioned 2 sharps, that would normally imply that the key centre is either D major or B minor, and some songs have so much modulation that it isn’t clear, but they usually end on the main chord of the key centre. For example “All the things you are” goes through many keys. The intro and outro theme seems to be in Cm ( which has a key sig of 3 flats) but the main part ends on a strong Ab chord (4 flats) so I would say the key centre of the song is either Fm or Ab and I would favour Ab because it ends there. But it goes all over the place between those centres, and the intro and outro are in a related but different key or key centre. Most songs are less tricky to work out than this example.
Thanks for the advice Lynden.The piece I am studying at the moment is Excerpts from Star Wars with 4 different key signatures.I will practice those so the whole session will be seamless.phil
Hey, best teacher on you tube😊. I would like to ask if you take your saxophone on a cabin plane ? Do you have special case for it , and do they let it on without extra fees ? Many thanks 😊
Ah that’s so kind of you to say, thank you! I always take my sax on as hand luggage but I made a whole video about it here: Should I take my sax on holiday with me? ua-cam.com/video/Ys07DIaToSM/v-deo.html 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
