Always return to this video lesson to ground myself in the important basics. Thank you sir.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Very welcome

[@mikeysplace]

I love Jaime when you try to sound bad, you can't because your used to sounding so good😂. Your internal sense of harmony still comes through, even when your intentionally trying to sound bad. I hope one day I can internalize a smidgen of your flavor. Gosh you sound epic.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🤣 Thanks so much!

[@EricTorreborre]

Jamie, I thank you so much for that exercise. I realized that there's a full version of it in the "Improvisation mastery essentials" that I bought some time ago, so I practiced it again. And, oh boy, I don't know how long it's going to stick with me but it made a ton of difference. Still with the same 5 notes !

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great!

I'd say Jamie is certainly the best sax teacher I've seen on the internet. Would love to see him performing When are you coming to Sydney?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much! That would be awesome

[@EricPalmerBlog]

Interesting. The first part sounded useful standing in a horn line accompanying the singer. Keep up the great work.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you

[@Dr.RolyndDellaSylvan]

@GetYourSaxTogether Another insightful lesson Mr Anderson ! The “center of gravity” and “every note is *not equal” are important concepts indeed! I am looking forward to rejoining your amazing Inner Circle after I finish my conducting tour. Thank you again for your artistry and inspiration. Dr D

Excellent video - such a lot of god advice here for young players.😀

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much

[@waynepharo]

Very Good Jamie !! I understand the idea of using the root as the anchor and going up and down the scale , but the problem I am having is the rhythm. Are you improvising the rhythm on the spot or in otherwords can you play the exact same rhythm if asked to repeat it ? If so the you could practice the rhythm until you get the feel of the music. Please explain Thank you

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Too big an answer to give here. It's all in my Improvisation Mastery course!

[@waynepharo]

Jamie --I did not know about the improvising course but I review the content and I think this is what I need. I will purchase your course today. Thanks

[@paulfairchild3461]

[@TheoGijzen]

i play tenor sax, but i can not improvise even if it would save my life. Even am unable to play a simple song after 7 months of lessons. guess that i am just too stupid to play the sax.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Not at all. Just get the right practice

[@frankversteeg8107]

is it me...?, or did the pivot around the Fsharp fit this song better

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🤷‍♀️

[@ph2738]

I improvise all the time. I can’t stop. You could put sheet music to “Mary Had a Little Lamb” in front of me and I’d take off on it. I’ve been puzzled that many teachers emphasize the pentatonic scales when teaching improvisation, because I never think of the pentatonic scale. I always hear the chord changes and follow them. Maybe because I’ve played enough guitar and piano, I know chord structure and chord progressions in the American songbook. From this video, I now get the idea why teachers use pentatonic scales to introduce improvisation. Staying in a pentatonic scale lands you automatically on notes that just fit into the I-IV-V chords that normally go together without having to adjust to the chord changes. Much like playing a harmonica.

Love playing sax but I thought Pentatonics were an 80s rock band 😂😂

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🤣

[@Saxoscar]
