Sunny hey ! I know you explained to me, a couple weeks ago at that- the concept chord up scale down…. Someone commented on a video and brought me back here to it… I haven’t touched it since because I don’t really know what to understand only intuitively…. But I want to simply take it through all twelve keys… any advice on doing that and write it while staying away from the hyper analytical mind…?
The most important thing with playing the sax, or any wind instrument, is sound. Work on getting a nice sound. Cool laugh😅😂 Do your long tones!😮😮😢pro player here, 40+ years of playing professionally 😮 😮😮😊
I am having an epitome musically and Kamically (it's only just a Bebop lesson😂)wish I would have run into you 80 years ago, thanks on making chord transitioning so clear...
It was a great fortune for me to find your RU-vid channel. No matter how much I tried to study jazz standards, I couldn't find a starting point. Thank you very much.
I am 77 years old and want to learn jazz with alto saxophone. I am very impressed by your video lectures and would like to express my gratitude. I use the tenor score lowered by a minor fourth.
I’m trying to write this. I’m new to music theory in a way. How would you write the down the scale part. If E minor is the chord in the Key of C major, that pattern, what is it? I’m kinda a beginner but can you simply explain how I would write it? Would I write it as a sharp EGbD-Rb35b7 CBAG-#554b3?
Maybe I can answer my own questions I forgot about modes not that I care but I just forgot about that but if you have any pro knowledge, experienced experienced information I’m all ears
Good question - 4 note scales are technically called tetrachords - they are defined buy the distance between the notes - eg maj = t t 1/2 = C D E G - I know this doesn't answer your question - you're looking for what chord to place on top of the scale part - instead of thinking 'key' or 'chord' - think 'approach' - by chord or scale fragment. I'm showing examples on how to use it in the newer videos - tnx 4 the comment - S
Very helpful, ive watched so many videos on jazz theory and literally no one has mentioned playing arpeggios down and the scale up. They only ever mention arpeggio up and scale down. But it seems you need both. Maybe I shouldve known haha.
This one lesson was a "eureka moment" for me. This great teacher breaks it down in a way that I need to really understand what the f*** this playing over changes is all about, and he does it in a way that is basic enough for even a luddite like me to understand, yet he also mentions articulations and enclosures and fooofff, letting you know that this might actually become FUN when we finally catch on to how to use the scales and get this language in our ears. Thanks for this, man! I just "liked" and "subscribed"!
even though I am learning the clarinet I ejoy your Sax vids... as usual your humourous and lihht heated off-beat approach is greatly liked .... watching you chills me out .... today doc told us wife had degenerative brain condition - you helped me relax. thanks ! Bill in UK
Hi Sonny, so in this exercise you always play the scale of the chord your playing towards? (Ignoring that could could use Lydian here obviously). Thanks for the videos.
l always loved that song, though l had to listen without watching. Those halls bring back bad memories for me. Sonny have a great day xoxo oh and l like the sonny version.
