My BIGGEST takeway from pretty much all of your videos, is that triads have a solid structure (and conveys harmony), as opposed to scales. This was a HUGE revelation for me. Thanks so much!!
Ohhh Mann,, thank you for explaining in everyday language the art of soloing. I'm a Bass player and could use your teachings... thanks again👍🏾
THANKS, CLIFF!
maybe it is because he is so stoned?
I dig it. It is soothing to listen to you talk about things you clearly understand. It is even better when you say it without words. Building tools in your arsenal by attracting your mind through your ear so your mind can in turn train your ear to comprehend the language well enough to have something meaningful to say in any context. Great stuff man!
I am excitingly overwhelmed, as always, at your excellent instructions and your excitement and sincerity at sharing your knowledge - all of it.
You are also worthy of the millions some artists have made.
Say, "Yes, I am!"
hahaha, i'll say this: Thank YOU!
Your tone is amazing... really unique, relaxed but confident. Love your videos man.
Thank you so much! After couple of videos from your channel I know about improvisation more than one year of self studying and with a teacher! Great lessons!
This settles it! From now on I'm learning Jazz from sax players.
Great vid - This will come in handy for a jam band gig I've got this weekend!
I loved this video! Im a guitarist just looking for some inspiration for improvisations over 1 chord vamps on my upcoming gig tonight. I appreciate how you didn't waste any time and got right to the point. Nice simple concepts that make sense! Thanks
Phenomenally essential!! I have history with the Alto Sax of over 15 years, but I haven't played in almost 10, and there is so much that I've forgotten and so much more that I haven't learn. Though it was a bit confusing, this was pure gold! I've been able to open up in my practicing because of these triad pairs! Thank you, sir!!
You are SUCH a good teacher. Thank you man. Goin to work on this for my dominant 7s.
Just stumbled upon your Channel and subscribed after viewing a few of your vids. Not everyone can effectively teach on such a platform as this but you definitely have a gift for teaching.
Jeff knows what he's talking about. He's a real player with a gift for simplifying and communicating key ideas and concepts that will improve your playing.
Just found your videos. Great stuff! I am new on saxophone but in and out of music my whole life (54 now). I can actually make sense of what you are saying and how you teach. For the first time I am understanding things I thought I would never have any clue about. Thanks for the free download on this one. Looking forward to working on this. I am also working on modes and have seen your vid and purchased your chords sheet.
Fantastic work, Jeff! You're a great teacher.
+Andrew Mathew Thank you, Andrew!
Nice one Jeff very helpful pls will need more of these triads
Jeff. I learn so much with your videos. thanks for share your experience and music on the Web! .
Thanks for your comment, Dany. So glad I've been of help.
Keep the videos coming! You're a hero!
Jeff, Great lesson again. I am an aspiring Jazz guitarist, and your lessons are the Best for what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks man, amd have a great day.
You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing these improve gems. Best wishes
Cool video! Looking forward to trying this.
This makes sense. As a novice you made me realize I've been instinctively doing this with 1-4-5 blues cords at different jam nights. You just boosted my confidence level.
Cool approach, my mind is blown! Going to try this tomorrow
Find these lessons really great. I like the level they are pitched at and how you don't linger on the fundamentals for too long. You explain them well enough but then concentrate more on how you apply them. Thank you :)
+Hugh Tanner
Exemplary, to use a word beloved of academics.
+Hugh Tanner Thanks so much, Hugh. I really appreciate the comment.
I love the way you breakdown.
Excellent. I'm a guitarist and have been practicing my triads but never heard the term implied harmony. Very useful.
Jeff, your channel is amazing... thank you from the bottom of my heart :)
greetings from Italy
Great lesson man! Perfect pace. Solid explanations. Keep it up!
Thank you jeff! I was thinking of ways to keep my solo interesting on this song called blues in hoss flat. Really helped!!!
Amazing teacher and Player.
Excellent use of triads. I must give this a go.
Great stuff! Currently wading through all your stuff. I'm psyched I found your channel.
+Michael Bauer Thanks! Glad you found me, too!
Brilliant video lesson. Made it look easy. It's remembering them quickly enough ha. Cheers
Thanks for another great video Jeff. I am gradually catching up!
Thanks, as always, for watching, Graeme! Glad to hear you're catching up!
Hi man i bought an alto feb 2018 and your vids have been a great tool for me thanks a million
Thanks for the new idea! Much appreciated.
I think that you explained really well, thanks very much from Argentina
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, Facu!
Very nice channel and very useful info. I'm a bass player but can easily relate.
I play guitar. I listened to your videos to get some new ideas outside of the usual guitar 'box'. I liked them so much I just bought a yamaha yts475 :D Thanks for inspiring! Wish me luck.....
(this one in particular is genius- so simple and effective: I learned more in a week of listening to your ideas than in the last 6 months of listening to guitarists)
+str0nach Nice! Let me know how it goes. Congrats on the new sax!
Fantastic video. Very useful for me, because I just play all my solos using the blues/pentatonic scale of the key/1 chord. I have plenty of work to do! thanks!
Thanks, Scott! Glad this is useful.
Gave this a go Jeff - this is cool. Cheers and thanks
Great stuff, I'd like to hear examples over a chord tho, especially when the lessons are on harmony, everything else is awesome!!
Hi jeff, i just discover your videos this morning and it's very good cause you answer questions i asked to myself quite often like these one (one chord solo). Thank you very much for your clear explanations even for french people who knows a little english like me. Knnow, i've got to work HARD !
+Patrick Constant Thanks so much for the comment, Patrick. Glad the tips are helping!
+Jeff Schneider Have you got some good advice about How to play quick attaks? Staccato? Please.
+Patrick Constant It's very important to make sure you're air stream is fast and free enough to support multiple attacks in quick succession. Besides that, it's best to switch on the metronome, tongue 16th notes at a manageable tempo, and increase the tempo gradually to improve tongue speed. Good luck!
Very very cool!
Hi jeff my name is ricky im a alto sax newbie im a filipino i dont have a formal lesson on school i dont read music sheet... Im in mid 40's since i was a kid i always dreaming of becoming a pro sax artist but it didnt happen last 4 months ago i bought a (used)yamaha YAS 23 hoping that i can still pursue my dream... First of all i wanna thank the you tube owner for inventing this site 2nd I really wanna thank a kind hearted person like you for always sharing and teaching your thoughts specialy on alto sax. I have learned so much from you since the beginning until now im always learning... Im not asking anything i just wanna say thank you jeff....
Great job!
great lessons.
Jo Jeff, great as always ! Just wondering, when are we going to tackle Giant Steps ?
Great material man!! Very pedagogical....
Nice ideas for one chord! Thanks!
Wow thanks Jeff really helpful lesson. I'm actually playing a funk tune and I always run out of ideas before the chord changes (I have about 30 bars before) Pick Up The Pieces/ Sax A Go Go - Candy Dulfer and it features me but I if I cant play it well enough we can't play live and I can't play it like her. Thanks
+Luis Ruelas Glad this lesson was helpful, Luis. Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your solo!
You can always change the rythmn of the notes you do choose a la Wayne Krantz. Depends what you main thing is. melody, harmony ,rythmn ,spacial sound?
@@davidosbiston9699 Can't forget dynamics
Thanks Jeff, really helpful, you're a cool teacher.
+Acento enlaene Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!
awesome, thanks!
Thank you!
Great channel man ! I will be visting often :)
+Doğukan Sezgin Thanks for watching! Glad you like to the videos.
Sir Jeff I learned a lot from you..thanks from Philippines
Hey Jeff !! another great lesson ...among the best on Utbe :)
I was just thinking about this! I was playing All Blues but found it difficult to keep my lines interesting after learning more difficult tunes.
duuuude. legit stuff right here.
+supersalsa Thank you thank you thank you!
Seriously mind blowing bro!! Thank you
Thank YOU!
Good stuff!
Thanks!
Nice tone!!!
Works great as a chart when you just write f,g,a,b,c,d notes down on the five lines. Start somewhere like c and draw a line below it then you can see jumps down to f. Hope that makes sense
I Love your videos. bless you.
Love this
+shysaxguy thanks!
Great video!
+Gustav Dalemo Thank you, Gustav!
I need to listen more, I'm a slow learner, but I am able to understand. This is helpful. Thank you!
genius. as always. are there triad pairs work over minor 7 and major 7 chords? (saw your excellent vid on half-diminished). i asked the internet but it was all way too technical...
Hi James! Yes, there are triad pairs for every chord. I will develop some content that covers this topic. Stay tuned!
Amazing lesson. I’m a guitarist but this lesson is very useful. Cheers from India.
very wellexplaind intresting basic structures ......thanx
"The-Bee-Gees..."
xD love it
Cool video man!
So essentially you’re using voice leading between the closest notes between the G and F major triads?
you are GREAT! NUMBER ONE. really. thank you
Thanks so much :)
Very well, tnx from Italy
Thank you!!! You're a great teacher!!! I like your videos, it's more easy than my teachers explain to me)))))
Hi Jeff! Great video as always, and I'm loving watching your lessons as a fellow sax player. One question: I have a solo in a Latin tune (called muy caliente) in A minor, a pretty easy scale to solo in because it's all natural. Although, it's hard to follow chords because the song is at about 120 cut time so the chords go by so fast. Any ideas for a very fast Latin tune improvisation? Any tips are welcome. Thanks so much!
+Baribari Great question! I would try to simplify the chord progression by focusing on the chords that are non-diatonic (if any), meaning focus on accentuating the notes that do not show up in the A minor scale. So if there's an E7 chord somewhere, focus on that G# because it's not in the regular A minor scale. Make sense?
+Jeff Schneider yeah thanks! I'll try that out.
Love the passion bro haha I feel you when you were imparting some clutch knowledge to the camera and need to ensure properly delivery of the essence of the message - “does it make sense?!” 😂
awesome lesson. This works for other instruments as well!
+Justinus Andjarwirawan Hi Justinus, it sure does!
Terrific teaching for every classical wind player
Really love your work! One little bugger: if you stayed in concert terms, or at least mentioned whether you are or are not in concert, it'd help me more. I play in bands that do not use charts, so I always think in concert terms: for me, this lesson is in Bb and Ab. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
There's a book somewhere on using triad pairs... I assume there's more to it than just using two major triads separated by a whole step over a dom7.
+Music Teacher Guy Definitely, I've seen at least a few books on the subject. There are many more triad combinations with which to experiment. I'll do another video with some more possibilities. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
jeff muchas grasias por tu alluda
Awesome! thank you......
wooow that pattern !
Great!
Hello Jeff,
Nice video and very informative. If I may ask, what type of mouthpiece & ligature are those ?
Niyi Neyo
Great, thank you!
+rivieone Thank you! Glad you liked.
thank you thank you thank you!!!
I love your videos, haven't watched many yet. When you say it is a G7 chord it is really a Bb chord. I was trying to play along with my recorder, and was confused, but realised eventually what you were doing. (With the alto recorder we have to transpose for ourselves.) What happens if a saxophone player has perfect pitch? Do you hear a G as Bb? Just curious.
hey the videos are great! i thought i'd let you know though that only some of the ;inks work
JS knows his jazz.
Use the same principle but on this chord G7flat5 (G7#11, if you prefer to call it that) play triads on G and A.
Useful Music snatched G7flat5 and G7#11 two different chords? i mean don't you include the 9 in G7#11 otherwise it would be G7add#11? also of course octave differences? correct me if I'm wrong just wanted to check
Razor, I certainly do include the 9th in G7#11. The 9th is note A which, of course, is the root of the A triad, And the A triad is one of the triads I am recommending to use. So you are right!
Jeff - it would be great if you would demonstrate your triadic approach using G/F over a backing track for 8 bars so we can hear the musical effect of your triadic approach over one chord repeated over 8 bars. I am a bass player who avoids playing modal pieces because I have no idea how to make my bass lines interesting over 8 or more bars - such as in "So What". Would your triadic approach work well on a piece such as "So What"?
Yo Jeff what's the name of the song you play at the end of you video? Class lesson by the way inversions rocks!
Jeff great video my man, i love your content, may i ask why when you say a Gmaj triad it sounds on my guitar a Bb maj triad, and when you say Fmaj triad it sounds Ab maj triad? ahahaha, im sorry it must be a really dumb question, but i wanna to think about it right so i can study it the way i should:)
thanks..this became very useful to me :)
excellent triad pair lick
Thanks, Richard!
Your saxophone is beautiful!
Would be fun to see you take some famous solos and break them down... you're very good and concise with the explanations... It might add some terrific "real world" material to your series. Coltrane, Getz... Parker... take 4 to 8 bars and explain what just happened in their solos... and how to do it. Thanks, again Jeff. Nice work. Joe
+Joseph Miller Was just thinking about this the other day. Definitely going to give it a shot.
I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Those kinds of solo's which turn out to be signature solo's often happen in a blinding blur of creativity and talent... it is a fantastic way to learn the instrument to take solo's and break them down thereby opening the hood and seeing what makes that baby run so magnificently. By listening and learning in this way you also continue to learn the basics almost intuitively or by accident but you are driven by the power of a killer solo. I studied King Curtis and Jr. Walker and Maceo from James Browns Band... just this way. Look forward to seeing and hearing what you do.... Nice tone ...by the way. Joe
That's some serious red eye Jeff haha nice video
Please will you can post your videos with subtitles to Portuguese or Spanish?
