First visit with you was a nice experience. Nice job. You'd be doing a great favor if you added the Bb transcription in addition, but I'll transcribe your example for my practice.
How did you create these examples? Is the process to sit down and write out the formula using the changes? or are these examples you lifted and are analyzing?
Hey Graysen! None of these examples are lifted from recordings, they're all exercises that I came up with and worked through. That being said, they are largely influenced by Coltrane's approach and also other solos and pieces of phrases that I've heard!
@@andrewgould744 gotcha, I’m trying to revisit jazz (haven’t really worked on it since college) and find myself wondering how to get more of the language in my playing. With blues and rock it was a matter of learning the licks and piecing together my own vocabulary. But with jazz I remember my approach was more practicing enclosures, arpeggios, writing out solos using guide tones, etc. Thanks for sharing/clarifying!
@@graysenhagin For sure man I think that your approach to playing rock by learning licks and piecing together your own ideas can still be applied to jazz too! There's a ton of ways to make it happen!
Lately I have been writing the intervals of the progression with numbers... somehow all the chord names I get mixed up and maybe a good idea for someone that feels that way... so the exercise would be b6/M 7/7 3/M 5/7 1/M.... Dont know if it helps anyone but seems to be working pretty good for me.
In all honesty, I think Coltrane ruined Jazz with Giant Steps and Countdown. It turns into a total technical exercise and memorization rather than improvisation, expressing oneself spontaneously. Apparently, this becomes the highest goal one can achieve as a saxophone player, which in my opinion is not the case.

You teach like Chad Lb
