Another brilliant video Jamie. Every time I think of giving up sax, I watch one of your videos and it makes me want to play. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks.
So the magpie heard that "there's one scale to rule them all". Wow! That magpie then gathered this "one scale" from all the other cool-sounding birds making sure to carefully imitate them, right down to the scoops, bends, and rhythms. That magpie took all those "precious" scale bits and soon everyone heard one wickedly cool magpie. Now that magpie "rules them all." Bloody fantastic!
Jamie you are a great teacher!Sanborn, Pickett, Grover are inspiration to all saxophonist. Great job putting this lesson together. I will use this on my next Gig!
Great info thanks! Just started playing again after 25 years out! With your help and Tomplay I should be back in the game in no time! Will buy you a coffee Cheers
Jamie. Can you review Kirk Whalum solo on Westchester Lady - Fourplay/ Rick B/ Boney James.... there are some interesting notes and I can't figure them one. Kirk solo starts at around 4:30. Such a wicked solo!
Watch "Phil Collins Big Band - Pick up the pieces" on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/R9eQkTJZlNk/v-deo.html I am not sure if you have listened to this crazy sax solo by James Carter at the 18th minutes. The man was engulfed by the sax. I wonder how the other professional sax player felt after Carter's performance.
Great video again. What was missing for me was a deeper explanation of how to bend and scoop the notes and what these 'special' characters look like on the staff.
Hi Jamie. Every sax teacher I have ever had, bar none, says the best way to improve as a jazzer is to listen to and transcribe other sax players work. Here's an idea - why don't you do a video with loads of examples of blues scale phrases for us novices to pick out... Love your lessons, Pete
Thanks for this fantastic video Jamie, it's given me loads to work on. It's really helpful that you put them all in the same key as it highlights the similarities and differences between them, which makes it much easier to use fragments to improvise from. Thanks again!
It had been a long time since I had enjoyed a music class as fantastic as this. Thank you very much indeed, Jamie. Huge Hug. Hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba de una clase de musica tan fantástica como está. Muchas gracias Jamie, un abrazo 👍
So fun and exciting! Consider myself a very lucky bird to have seen Lenny P with TOP at BBKing's club in NY a few years back! LOL at the end bloopers as usual, one looked just like what I did when trying the LP lick, ha ha!
Brilliant, Jamie! Thank you for another great Sunday video. So helpful and so much fun working through your tutorials. Looking forward to playing through this one this afternoon. Tally Ho!
Excellent lesson, probably the best yet. :) It would be great if you could do one on how to do those consecutive falls that you’ve written in your Caravan arrangement. Is it done with the larynx only?
Hey Tony - check out the chapter markers whilst using UA-cam, then you can skip through all the stuff you don’t wanna see. I can tell you’re a get straight down to it guy, so apologies for any waffle you’re frustrated with! Just skip it! The pit falls of free content I guess…but don’t forget that’s what it is - awesome FREE lessons every week that you would normally pay a lot of money for. 😉
Yeah, one of your best lessons. I noticed you went through some personal growth w.r.t. your presentation skills. Addressing the viewer directly so we don't realise you're talking to a camera. I had to chuckle out-loud a couple of times as well. Well done.
@@GetYourSaxTogether Just re-visited this lesson and you did it again !! I laughed out loud. Must be the sign of a truly engaging and funny episode. B.t.w. you DID sound very cool. 🙂
Hey Jamie, I'm confused about the backing track. It is not Improvisation Mastery 33, Blues in Concert Eb. It is in E minor, and it is not a blues. We can clearly hear your voice saying 'second eight', indicating it is an eight bar form. Where can we find this track?
Thanks for the video is very good for me, for my studies... I love your sound... What is the name of the mouthpiece you use in this video? Thanks for the reply. Hello and good music Ps sorry for my translate I'm Italian 😜😎🎷
Hi Jamie, great video again, I was always wondering how people do this you nailed it again. What software are you using to play the music? Thanks a lot.
I've heard that the secret to make great bluesy lines is to use the minor blues scale while going up while using the major when going down (or was it dominant?, I'm not sure...). Any thoughts on that? I also acknowledge the importance on the "feel" of the groove which, by the way, you are a f******** master! I would also liste to Scott Hamilton, he has a lot of easy tunes with bluesy lines and sticks basically to the notes of the chords... Sweet... 😉👍
Sort of: the main thing is the contrast between the flat 3 and the major 3, the flat 5 and the regular 5, and major 6 and the flat 7. So your line needs to be "aware" of whether you are resolving those flattened notes against the comparatively bright sounding major notes. You can work that it both directions.
The backing track is part of my Improvisation Mastery class, which is not open at the moment, but will open again soon. Many of the tracks are also available in the Inner Circle Membership. The link to join is www.getyoursaxtogether.com/innercircle
@@GetYourSaxTogether I thought the tone was fantastic. Hard to imagine a cane reed sounding better. Your ears are very good to hear such subtle differences. Just wondering, can you hear the same subtle differences on your recordings that you can hear when actually playing? The sound transfers a bit different when playing versus from speakers.
I am a pianist but will be looking to play an additianl instrument ....so if I where to get a sax what is the most commonly used? Tennor or baratone? Part B question is Anyone know where cuz imma disabled veteran on a fixed income, so has any one know a good url to get my first saxiphone? nothing extravagent but gets the job done reguardless of paying for brand name so popularity of the maker is les priority than playaction and sound!
I would not recommend baritone to start. Tenor or alto your best bets. I do recommend new so that any problems that arise are from you not the horn. Theses sites may be helpful: jazzfuel.com/best-tenor-saxophone/ OR jazzfuel.com/best-alto-saxophone/ Good luck ... and thanks for your service!
Hello, Good Evening, could someone recommend a saxophone brand for beginners, or a reliable store. I'm from Brazil, but I'm going to buy in the United States. Thanks
Thank you very much. Sorry for the new question, but you advise to buy a new Jean Paul. Or used from a famous brand? Thanks, and again sorry for the new question.@@GetYourSaxTogether
I saw you on New year’s eve with Joan Armatrading in the german TV. Good job as always. Thx for all.
Cool! That was a fun gig. 👍🏻
@@GetYourSaxTogether Been seeing Joan for about 45 years, and she still sounds great. What a legend.

Go for it!

Great comment Bob, love that!
Very inspiring lesson. Funny How you Sound almost like David Sanborn while playing on a tenor with an Otto Link.

Jamie, really clean, direct and inspirational lesson. Sunday thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson, really informative.
Awesome licks! On the Sanborn lick, repeating it a second time and ending on F# instead of C# sounds very cool.
Classic call and response. Brilliant.
Just stumbled across this! Brilliant Jamie. x
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
Brilliant lesson Jamie. Great playing too. Top quality and thanks for the sheet music.
Thanks! 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love the way your’re teaching!

Thanks David 🙏

Amazing job as usual Jamie:) Greetings from Turkey.
Thanks Eren! 👍
You are a fantastic instructor.
Thanks!
Great lesson Jamie. A good resource for "Magpies" is blues harmonica. Ive used some blues licks from Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson solos.
Great!

Great lesson Jamie! I’ll be having a go at this today. One question - do you remember the licks, write them down, or even record them???
Well, I remembered those ones! But sure, wrote them down or whatever if that helps.
Jamie example one was killing aha! reminded me of coltrane, Coltrane vs Kenny G... ☹️

Not sure about the up down thing, although it certainly works to play each scale in chunks.
Sort of: the main thing is the contrast between the flat 3 and the major 3, the flat 5 and the regular 5, and major 6 and the flat 7. So your line needs to be "aware" of whether you are resolving those flattened notes against the comparatively bright sounding major notes. You can work that it both directions.

@@pirsquared3251 Just so you know, there's a LOT of difference between the Classic, Studio, Signature, and American Cut in the Legere line.
