I used your techniques while busking on the 10th and was invited to a mansion house party to play with a DJ for the following day! Amazing stuff. I am eternally grateful. Are you sure the sax lesson mafia won't come after you for giving such great info for free? 😂 Cheers mate!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow, that's great!

[@albertmueller8705]

That was not only informative but really enjoyable. That was some very sweet playing. So cool.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@saxophone4ever]

Hi Jamie, great lesson as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

That was really helpful today - thanks. Also enjoyed seeing and hearing you use the soprano sax for a change! Lovely!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ailrky4765]

This is helpful for improvisation in all instruments, thank you gat sax together!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're very welcome!

[@dcp8nts]

"Endless Noodling Flatland Never Going to Stop Playing Driveling solos". = LOLOL Thanks Jamie for all of your inspiration. It's always a pleasure listening to you play.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks!

[@marks.6656]

Great lesson! Thanks for simplifying the mystery of soloing.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

My pleasure!

[@user-gi7do8dy2o]

Hi Jaime, thanks once again for your time and energy into these sessions. Another straight forward invaluable lesson . Enjoy you bank holiday 👍

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏🏻

[@ronhowe5933]

Excellent! we spend so much time teaching the "I wanna learn to improvise" students how to walk before they can run basic, simple rhythmic playing and ideas on less notes ... listen, hook, follow and repeat. Great for live coaching improvised horn sections ... herding cats! 😆

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍🏻

[@schorschkrs7430]

Great! An awesome lesson easy to use with a lot of effect. THANKS!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

My pleasure!

[@EricPalmerBlog]

Brilliant ....yet again. AND I am right about at this phase in my training to start pushing this. Enjoyable as always!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You got this!

[@pavelpatsenkov]

Thanks Mr Anderson. Very interesting. Sometimes I catch myself on the moment, when I'm forget first phrase (A)... and can't came back to the start of my improvisation.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Me too!

[@andrewwanless9288]

Top work as usual Jamie. this is an awesome video. Looking forward to the Inner Circle extras. 😊

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Up now Andrew!

[@williamholt3411]

Excellent demonstration on how to actually vary your solos to add shape and additional color to your solos. I can use this right away!!! Thank you! Saxyjaws in Pittsburgh

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CyberBusker]

Thank you Jamie - improvisation is my challenge at the moment. So this is spot on.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're so welcome!

[@robstevens9590]

Thanks for the ideas! This gives me more variety in my "call & response" in my improv.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Perfect!

[@paulfairchild3461]

good to hear you play the soprano ,its a welcome change ,you sound good .

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ta 🙏🏻

[@maxhoecker]

Really nice! And you have a great soprano sound 🎷

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you very much!

[@shipsahoy1793]

👍Great place to start with structure, call and response, et cetera. It also is a big help knowing what you're playing as you're playing it, and how it fits in. Everybody hates to hear this, but knowing all the keys and scales, etc inside outside helps a lot to get started, as well as interval training. As I learn more tunes on alto and tenor, listening to the jazz masters that I like, and learning originals and standards that they played, I'm finding it all so important to understand and emulate through embouchure, fingering, attack, vibrato, dynamics, rhythm, tone, et cetera; all the techniques that make the magic happen with the phrasing. There are so many subtle nuances, and some players are easier to emulate than others, but the greats are always harder to reach, which is daunting at times for an intermediate player. I used to think reading and jazz conception would make me a better player, as I was self teaching, but eventually I realized that you really need to learn to speak to language, (even the "slang," lol) and comprehend what you're hearing, and then things have a better chance of falling into place. 😉 Listen, Practice, Rest, Repeat..🎷

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wise words.

[@jamiedanielus]

You know it’s like looking at a forest and someone points out single trees growing in a pattern. It all makes sense when Jamie points it out - if you think this video is awesome try being in his Inner Circle (I was not paid to say that) - imagine the stuff we learn over there! Thanks Jamie for all the instruction and sharing a piece of yourself every week! 🎉

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Aw thanks mate!

[@couchphotography8861]

Don't like sopranos normally, but that one sounds great! Sometimes its best to just keep it simple, nice clean lines, and a tune that someone can hum after you've played it! Thanks Jamie!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Anytime ☺️

[@SEGEFFECT]

Thanks again for the great video ❤

You sound so good, I could listen to you for hours! It sounds so easy when you’re doing it!! But when I try, creativity is gone or my fingers won’t do what my brain hears lol 🤣 Btw The backing track link does not work.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Sorry about that. I've corrected the link, use code JA20 for 20% off. bettertrax.com/downloads/all-backing-tracks-groove-and-soul-standards-vol-1/ref/8/
