    Glad to see a UA-cam educator digging into Maceo. He's inspired so many but seems to not get discussed much.

    I love Maceo Parker. Life on planet groove is definitely my favorite CD. I saw him years ago in concert for $10. He came on stage at 11:30 pm and he played until 2:00am with no break. Just two and a half hours of pure funk. It was the best $10 I ever spent.

    • @ScottPaddock

      Yeah, I've seen him live a few times too. Pure beast-mode the whole time.

    Scott you absolutely killed this tutorial, Fantastic instructions on how to play in Maceos funk style!!!!!! Are there any more technique tutorials with similar tips ? Adding these techniques to your practice schedule Really make you want to practice more!! Really Really impressed with your playing ability thanks SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE Man!! I like Splash in, off of Maceos Southern Comfort Album. I actually mentioned this to you a few yrs. back when you released a funk style tutorial!

    Lol at the helicopter flying over your house statement. You know how BPD is; always messing up a good lesson with helicopter noise. Man, youre preaching the gospel sir. I gotta try this out when I play. For the longest time I've wondered why I suck as a player. So I approached the language and analyzing how lines work. Yes that has improved my play tremendously but I always felt something else was missing and BAM, you hit me with this. I guess this rabbit hole is bottomless huh? Keep pouring the knowledge sir. I admire the fact that you're willing to spread the knowledge to novice players such as myself. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Scott, fantastic all of you, as always! Could you comment on what setup you use, apart from that amazing Paul Mauriat RX67 Influence alto sax. I mean what mouthpiece, ligature and reed. Thanks a lot!!

    Hi Scott, what determines the notes played?
    What I mean is, why was it A you played after B?
    Was it random?

  • @DJsilversax

    so is your overtone B and C @8:30 , just an overblown low B/C fingering?

    • @ScottPaddock
      @ScottPaddock  Рік тому

      No, I'm using the overtone fingerings. So fingering the low note, and using my tongue and voice to produce the higher overtone. Check out my tutorials on overtones for more info.

    If I was gonna address my sticking problems its finding and playing hi f, f#, and fake falsetto GABCD....POSSIBLE 3RD TIER E F & F#.
    And all the low notes I never learned in 4th grade - High school. I can only confidently play down to D phlat or E phlat if it must be called.
