Jamie you are awesome and a MASTER TEACHER. Just had my lesson with my teacher and he was allllllllll over the place trying to explain the EXTENTIONS on the cords. YOU ARE A GOD SENT FOR MY MUSIC THEORY 🎶 AND PLAYING. THANKS SO VERY MUCH. 🙏🏾💯👍🏾✌🏾🎷🎷
This was great for clarification on the symbol to chord correlation. I knew the chords themselves, but after a few years off the symbols escaped me. Especially true with chords with more than one alternate symbol.
You're so welcome! It was my least popular video for ages, so you've made my day! Sometimes I make videos that I think people NEED, and most of the time I make videos that they WANT!
Thank you Jamie! I'm going to re-watch this, making notes, then go and try it out on the piano and violin (I don't even play saxophone but I love watching your videos with my husband, who does), and buy you a coffee :D And thanks for the tip about thirds in "how to play in tune", works great on the violin too!
Great lesson Jamie. Going back to the basics often brings new perspective. Hope that doesn't sound like a fortune cookie! Anyway I'm really looking forward to to your sound improvement course.
Jamie, Thank you very much. The chords were very confusing for me. Wow! ita not so hard. I think you are an excellent teacher. I am glad I am taking your course.
Oh my god Jamie! I "was taught" this at University but today I learned it from you. You made it understandable. Why did they say so in the first place at uni!?!? Love your stuff 💓
@@GetYourSaxTogether Hey Jamie, I've listened to your opinion about how ligatures don't contribute much to your sound and I've listened to others who bang on about how they do. I managed to play quite well using a rubber band! Great time too. I'd show you a picture but I can't seem to upload it here. Jay.
Really clear explanation Jamie. Thank you for doing this. What's the best way to remember all this for saxophone? Would it be by arpegiating the chord notes as part of daily practice until it sticks or is there a better way?
Thank you for explanation. Because I almost don't know music theory, I would like to ask, how we can use it by play on sax? Should we play (or prefer) notes of the chords in improvisation? Should we play them in the order as background? Thanks for the answer. You do good job Jamie!
Yeh, basing your solos around "chord tomes" is a great way to outline the harmony and sound good. You can link it all up with enclosures and bits of scales.
Thanks for this rundown of chords. Getting them into my head and fingers when reading a chart takes time and lots of practice (especially when I am trying to read charts for alto, as I usually think in concert pitch.) Then getting familiar enough with the chords to be able play coherently, melodically and expressively is the next step. One question: does a 9th, 11th, 13th always imply that the 7th (major/minor) is included in the chord?
yeh, most times a 9th, 11th and 13th will have the 7th, but the flattened 7th. 9-11-13 chords are dominant 7 chords unless otherwise stated. Exceptions: a "6/9" chord, a "#11" chord could also be a major 7#11.
Way to simplify those mysterious (for me) numbers. Thank you so much!
Great!

You are so welcome my friend! 😎
You deserve more views man, such high quality lessons. Thank you so much.
Thanks Michael!
Excellent video; very well explained & incredibly useful. Many thanks 🙏
You're very welcome!
Super useful and excellent theory lesson. Easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome, best explanation I’ve ever seen! Excellent asset. thank you Jamie.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, Another good Sunday start.
Glad you enjoyed it
So very useful Jamie ,thank you for all your hard work.
My pleasure!
Wow! So important! This was brilliant! Thanks Jamie for helping past the barriers. This stuff was hard to grasp, for me.....no longer.

Thanks! Total Tone Mastery out Friday Dec 18th I hope!!!
Brilient lesson. Thanks. One of life's great mysteries totally cleared up.
Glad you enjoyed it!

and as always perfect video
Thanks man!
Well done: very clearly explained and annotated. Still have nightmares re. Music Theory exams when I was a kid!
Thanks man!
Very good lesson
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Relief 😮💨

Yes, exactly
And playing piano.

I think you're right in explaining that a diminished has a 6th. bb7 is too complicated.
Plus, the diminished scale has the natural 7 as well!
@@GetYourSaxTogether True, never though of it that way - I guess because diminished scale has eight notes.
Question: as a saxophonist faced with a lead sheet (full of chords) what do you play? Or doesn't it matter as long as it's in the chord???
You need my improvisation mastery course! But look for my improvising playlist too.
[7:26]... "and then an upper case 7" 😊 What does a lower case 7 look like? 😉. Great content btw, thanks a lot Jamie!!
Well, I guess it doesn't matter which "case" the 7 is in really. I meant "superscript" actually, thinking about it! lol
Very informative, but for an individual player (new to sax, play a guitar poorly) how do chords help when you can only play one note at a time? Thanks
IT only matters if you're gonna improvise.
Great vid Jamie. Didn't see the augmented chord. root, maj 3rd, sharp 5th, flat 7th yes?
Yeh, I guess that could have been in there for utter completeness, thanks!
Great, but what about a video with the corresponding scales. Nice channel :-)
Great suggestion!
quite a lot to take in, but great lesson thanks
Thanks for watching!
What does a keyboard have to do with a saxophone. 2 completely different instruments.
Not quite sure why you're asking? You can't play chords on a saxophone, which is what this theory video is about!! lol
Hello Jamie, I’m trying to reach your website, but browser says that access denied( Tried to use VPN, but still no success(((
I see no problems.
