Scott you have a gift to teach. I have looked at countless online tutorials over the last few years. I have found no one that comes close to being as easy to understand as you. I have subscribed and look forward to following you. By the way I love your compact sound. I would be interested to know the setup.
Thanks Ronnie! From what I have found, a lot of teachers want to show the students how much information they know so they drown them in things that aren't important to the subject. I personally like to break it down into the most simple steps that make the information very easily digestible! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Absolutely the same feelings! Thank you very much Scott!
I've been playing for 50 years but never studied theory. Scott is so easy to understand, as he builds on the basics and de-mystifies a lot that I've asked other players about, but no one ever either took the time or could easily explain it like Scott does.
Can't wait to join his Sax School!
Thank You, Scott.
I’ve been looking at improvisation videos for a least a year and getting very confused. This one of yours sums it up in one easy to understand session. Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, most people try to make it really difficult. I try to make it really easy :-)
Excellent to see the relationship between a scale and a chord for improvisation. Thanks Scott
👍
Scott is a gifted teacher, I have learned so much.
brilliantly clear! You definitely have a gift for teaching.
Thanks Gustavo!
You couldn’t have explained it better! I always wondered what those 7’s mean. But now I know because of you! Thanks!
Thanks! I'm uploading a video right now about soloing over the Blues Progression which uses some of these concepts. Check it out.
Wow phenomenal lesson. This is my first time seeing you. I was searching for a teacher and I saw you with that hat on. I said to myself, this guy looks like he can play. Oh boy, was I ever right. You are an awesome teacher as well. I subscribed and hit the thumbs up button. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
You're a good teacher.
Thanks Chris!
I'm learning to improvise on Trumpet and have clean sound, and i really enjoy your lessons and tips man, usually i skip videos a lot because everyone are telling there life story in the first half an hour of the video and in the last 5 minutes they gave shallow advises and it's not even useful... I really appreciate your efforts, Thank you!
Thanks! I like to remain a mystery. haha. Yeah, I've noticed that being a big thing too with tutorial videos. There are a lot of tangents and backstories without ever getting to the point. I try to avoid that.
I am really happy that i have found you on you tube after watching so many online tutorials, you are always straight to the point and do not go into bothering people with the stuff that is not related to the subject, you are amazing, definitely great teaching gift and wonderful skills and style when playing, keep doing what you are doing, you are great at it
This is the first time I've understood how to read those. Thanks!
Finally!!! I'm struggling with improvisation for so long. THANK YOU so much for this great and easy approach.
This cleared up a lot! I've memorized Ionian, Mixolydian and Dorian scales, but you really helped me see how work the chords. Good stuff explained in layman's terms!
Yea, that's a good starting point. Also, Aebersold Vol. 42 - Blues in All Keys would be a great companion for this one. Thanks!
Awesome video, thanks for the help! I put off theory on guitar and saxophone for the best part of 20 years. Now with these great youtube videos that you can pause, rewatch and rewind it's totally changed the game for me and made the concept understandable and achievable. Thank you!
Excellent job making soloing into such a simple concept!!!
👍
Scott you are so clear and you give your lessons in "a laymen sort of way, when i watch & listen to other tutorials on here i switch off after 2 minutes but listen to the end of yours, so precise and easy to follow.
Thanks Peter! You should check out my new sax school that I am launching in October. Here's the website link for some info on it: www.scottpaddocksaxschool.com
That's exactly what I needed after months memorizing each chord. So clear and enlightening! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
been playin' sax for three years, mainly going along with the music score with orchestra, got my basics on track but then my teacher says, I should explore into Saxophone, then I found you, awesome video, subscribed and notifications ON, your teaching very much reminds me of my first instructor, I've learn a lot from your videos, even though some are revisions, but they're great ! Thank you very much !
Finally...the language...the breakdown...the explanation...literally crying tears of joy...haven't watched the whole videos but i assure you imma try this when i open my sax case...will keep you posted...keep making vids and i did subscribe...thanks...very much...very helpful...
Thanks Alan! Glad I helped you crack the code :-)
Ive been playing sax for 5 years with only sheet music when i finally got a chance to play in my dads band so i needed to learn to improvise, and this was the perfect video! Great teacher
👍👍👍
I'm just beginning to play over chords and this video is right on time. I'm slowly starting to associate the chord symbols to the notes and scale. I feel that soon I'll be able to express ideas a bit more freely. Thanks for the video and keep them coming.
Glad it's helping you out! I describe improv to my students as painting. When you learn your blues scale you are painting with 1 color. As you add each scale into the mix you are adding more colors to your final product. The more colors you have at your disposal the more expressive you can be.
So clear. Thanks!!
Hi Scott . Thanks for simplifying improvisation over chords. It seems it is essential that one should master chord spelling .
Yeah! Knowing your chords and scales is super important!
Scott,
A) Your teaching skills are magnificent. These are by far the best videos I have found on UA-cam. Most of what I do is self taught, and this is a huge help with my studies.
B) You make that P. Mauriat sound absolutely incredible. Listening to you influenced me, in which I just purchased the 66 tenor, which is coming this week. They are solid horns!
I may send you a DM your way on IG in regards to Skype lessons. I have learned so much in the short amount of time I have watched your videos.
Thanks so much for all your knowledge!
From one Baltimore player to another.
Thanks a lot! You are going to love that 66 tenor. I've got one of those too. Great horn!!!
Free lesson unlocked! 😂

Thanks a lot Jef, this is exactly the video I was expecting. 1 month ago, you promised to do it, done it!!! Once again thanks for your very helpful advices, you are definitely a great teacher. Please keep sharing with us your priceless experience. See you soon for the next tuto we look forward. Cheers.
It took about a month to figure out how to teach it in a video :-). Glad you enjoyed it! Should have my next one up around Sunday.,
Sorry, I called you Jef...Scott.;-) If I can suggest another very useful tuto, it might be "how to organize1h session" applying all your videos and basis rules...think to this because this what I m trying to do everydays, not so obvious...
Watch you up next Sunday! cheers!
brilliant, right to the point and no show off or useless talks. I wish all teachers were like you
Thanks!! Yeah, I've noticed that with a lot of videos also... lots of rambling and stories without getting right to the point.
Very informative! Thanks, sir!
This is very very helpful - thanks.
Glad it helped!!

Extremely helpful.
Thank You!
This is awesome. !!
agree with r. Scott, you are very good teacher, and I like your answer to r. Once I started my lessons with a teacher who not only wanted to show me how wise she was, but also how fast she could play... hopeless. In a fact I knew all this stuff you are talking about, but I couldn't figure it out how to practice it, how to couple my theory with evrery day practicing. Now I have some goals for the rest of the summer. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Glad you're liking the videos. 😊😊😊
Superb. Great teaching!
