Great lesson Nigel and great backing track. Speaking of the track, what is that chord progression? I'd like to create my own in iReal or Garageband so i can do it for all keys. From a theory standpoint I know it's something that a single pentatonic scale works over, but it's also moving downward so I'd like to know what's actually happening.
This is so much fun! Thanks a lot! Especially for the Great material you are giving to us. Is the MP3 also available? In the Sax Locker I found the pdf ☺️
At the nice line at 8:03, I was was awkward trying to go from high E to altissimo G. Too many fingers to move! I looked at your fingers. “Oh, crap, he’s playing a alto!l I’m on tenor. But then I stumbled onto a fingering for high E using the front F key and left hand 2 and three. That makes going to front key altissimo G a lot easier. Haven’t checked to see if that E fingering is in any fingering charts.
