Enclosures for Tenor sax

Thanks again to @andyhuckleberrywilliamsoni3873 for the suggestion to create a tutorial about enclosures. In this video we take a very clear and simple look at what an enclosure is, why it sounds awesome on the sax, how to build one and where to apply it. I demonstrate using an enclosure with a minor scale, and just to be very clear I show you where I'm getting that minor scale from. We take a look at an enclosure in a different key and then we put the two ideas together.

I been subscribing to your channel for a couple of months and I have to say, I’m beginning to “ get it” because of the way you present things, thank you Lyndon, as the song goes, I’m beginning to see the light 👍

Wow, I love to hear this. Thank you so much and go check out my website which has loads of free content. It also has all my KZbin videos there with a search facility so if you like my teaching style you can search on any topic and find a video on it. www.saxmadesimple.com 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@joedooley2393]

I just started watching your videos and I want to thank you for not throwing a lot of theory mumbo jumbo at us. I like that fact that you keep it simple. Keep it up.

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you so much 🎷🎷🤝🤝😎😎

[@Stevecollinsclear]

great - my teacher gave us 22 examples of 146 encloures - up - dowm - sideways ...confused. I will start practicing these two. much respect

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you Steve 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@davidhyatt7550]

Great presentation.

[@lyndenblades]

Glad you liked it! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@Chris-zc8jg]

Apart from your videos being very informative, the production quality and especially the sound and balancing are all the way up there! Keep going and you might just reach hundreds of thousands sooner or later.

[@lyndenblades]

Chris thank you so much, it’s so nice of you to say and really encouraging 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@solomann940]

Thanks for that 👌👌❤

You're welcome!🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@andyhuckleberrywilliamsoni3873]

Each of your videos is a lesson to work on to concretely achieve results. Grazie Lynden 😀

[@lyndenblades]

Wow, thank you! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@daveball137]

I had been thinking of asking you about enclosures. Thanks very much.

[@lyndenblades]

Happy to help! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@Stevecollinsclear]

I love your enthusiasm - I can play the scale - adding the enclosure? When I do it ? I can hear your voice 'That sounds amazing'. Helps to turn down my bitter internal critic. Much respect

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you so much Steve and be kind to yourself 🙏🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@bartleby4957]

Thank you for this video. It explains so much. It seems that I have been playing enclosures for the last thirty years without even realizing it. I really should start paying attention to a bit of jazz theory. If you're ever in the Worthing area, let me know and we can sink a couple. Blessings to you and yours.

[@daveball137]

Would you be able to show examples of enclosures over a 2 5 1 please? I become confused with this. Also could you do something on neighbour tones or as our cousins across the Atlantic say neighbor tones? You make it so clear. Thanks

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you Dave, those are great suggestions 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@BassNSax628]

Excellent video Lynden. I’ve watched your last few videos sat on a beach in Greece. Please can you give me some tips on memorising Blues scales. Cheers.

[@lyndenblades]

That sounds amazing! Santorini is one of my favourite places ever. Focus on one blues scale and get it really, really down. D blues is a good one, know it inside out 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@gib321]

Thanks Lynden. I really struggle with enclosures and applying them to my improve. Can you suggest an approach for practice. There are so many combinations it can become very complex and require great mental agility. How do you internalise enclosures and get then in your fingers?

[@lyndenblades]

I would just focus on one at a time, get this one really under your fingers 🎷🎷😎😎🤝🤝

[@markhallam8186]

Gday Lynden is it possible for example if a band is playing in the key ofE,what scales etc could we be playing for tenor and alto,😎🎷

[@lyndenblades]

Hi Mark, concert E is F# for tenor and Db for alto 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@waynejansen1221]

I took lessons 50 years ago. Joe Lopes…alto player in Supersax. Great player but lousy teacher. This gent is giving you the keys to your new Yamaha Z series or even some old Selmer(lol)

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
