Great explanation and examples! If I'd had this information years ago I might have been a contender. Better late than never. Thank you for your dedication to music education.
This was great! I mean, I still have a long way to go… But this was a really great introduction to get my brain wrapping around chord changes in a more dynamic way. Thanks!
@@ScottPaddock you know how it is man - keep pluggin away. Your the guy that’s killing it though with the sax school. That’s the big dream for me at some point, but congratulations for that. I know how much work you must have put in so you deserve it! 👍🏻
Thanks Scott love this and the material in the Sax School. Do you have any tips on choosing between 7ths to 3rds, or 3rds to 7ths? I struggle to pick one over the other.
Thank you so much for your content this is honestly the best content I have found on improv and the other video I watched was the best video I've seen about improving on sheet music
Thanks!! You are a really good educator, and I do not regret for a second that I am doing your saxophone school, it's well worth the money. My only regret is that I should have done it sooner.
Brilliant! Explained so well and you have told us the How to. Going to try this out with Irealpro. Thank you Scott! And i am really enjoying your sax school!!!
I know, right! This is one of those subjects that is a pretty simple concept, but you can get very complex with the way you do it as you get more advanced, but in the beginning, just figure out a smooth and easy way to move between the chords.
@ Scott Paddock Q. How do I approach voice leading when there are no 7th chords in a given song? For example, take a simple tune like a Amazing Grace. C C F C C C G G C C F C Am G C There's no 7th chords just triads. So how would I voice lead without being able to use the b7 and the 3rd? Thanks.
With songs like this, the chords aren't really moving that much. They are all just diatonic chords in the key of the 1. So you could do some voice leading stuff like playing the E in the C chord to the F in the F chord. Or at the end, the C in the Am chord to do the B in the G chord back to a C in the C chord. However, in these types of simple tunes, oftentimes you're going to think about soloing using a single tonal center and bring out the chord tones, more than anything else since everything is always resolving back to the root. Check out the video I just did - How To Hear Chord Changes - if you haven't already. It talks about these exact types of chord progressions.
Please tell me how to get that bright high sound on all notes I say EEE while blowing wich gives me a higher pitch without octave key but only works on notes D to E plz help!
Hey Brandon - it's a C7 chord which means you lower the 7th by a half step. If you'd like to dive deeper into reading chords and improvisation check out my Sax School www.scottpaddocksaxschool.com
well finally understand what the theory behind voice leading is now .they the sax gurus never explain this .as they expect you to know it .well we don't .fishman talks about it heaps .never explaining what it is .so confusing .NIRVANA .
Yeah, it's crazy, people constantly talk about voice leading but never tell you exactly what it is.... just that you should be doing it well and following the rules. It's actually a pretty simple concept when it comes down to it... just move from chord to chord. If you practice the technique I talked about in this video you'll start to hear and see the way the chords are changing through the voice leading.
This is the best and clearest explanation of this concept that I've seen yet. Thanks much for this Scott.
I wlsh. Could get it
Beautifully explained, thanks Scott. I will use this video to help my composition students.
😀 Thanks!
Great explanation and examples! If I'd had this information years ago I might have been a contender. Better late than never. Thank you for your dedication to music education.

This is useful stuff and clearly explained. Thanks Scott
Thanks Scott! Really helpful, clear and concise as always.
Very welcome!

Awesome tutorial on voice leading. Very clearly and simply explained with some excellent simple exercises for beginner improvisers. Cheers Scott.
Very good content, even for a keyboard player trying to improve soloing. Thanks a lot!
This was great! I mean, I still have a long way to go… But this was a really great introduction to get my brain wrapping around chord changes in a more dynamic way. Thanks!
Good work Scott. A really good introduction to the topic, well explained. 👍🏻
Thanks Jamie! Looks like you are killing it on your UA-cam channel. Congrats!
@@ScottPaddock you know how it is man - keep pluggin away. Your the guy that’s killing it though with the sax school. That’s the big dream for me at some point, but congratulations for that. I know how much work you must have put in so you deserve it! 👍🏻
as usual Scott. wonderfully articulate and clear wording and notes to help us "get it".

@@ScottPaddock thanks, I'll check it out.
Excellent Scott, you made this concept so simple. You re fantastic teacher! how to find the grids used here in Ireal pro? cheers!
Thank you for that.
This is really helpfull, Scott! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excelente, muchas gracias por compartir esta información!!!
Great!👍
yoursound is butter - so silky

Please tell me how to get that bright high sound on all notes I say EEE while blowing wich gives me a higher pitch without octave key but only works on notes D to E plz help!
Hey there, I’m pretty new to scales, so correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t B the 7th of C? Not B flat?
Hey Brandon - it's a C7 chord which means you lower the 7th by a half step. If you'd like to dive deeper into reading chords and improvisation check out my Sax School www.scottpaddocksaxschool.com
How can you play by ear?
by use of the ear
Sounds like a great idea for an upcoming video... stay tuned!
Why don't you show the key's as you play
👏
Back home, super tanned : not too cold ?
Back home, and missing the beach! It's been in the 50s and 60s so not too bad.
I wish my alto doesn't sound like that period
Don't worry, there is zero chance of you being capable of developing that sound 😁
