Your videos are absolutely THE BEST!! You don't mess around with short confusing videos to lure us in. I just can't say enough about you and the info you give. Priceless!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@jeromeking6001 thanks!

[@gbjib3827]

Although I am “A Yank”, I still prefer the British pronunciation of “Saxophonist”. Gives it a little class Jaime! 😎🎷

[@jimburns2981]

Jamie, just listening to you repeat the soloists… in my dreams. Well done.

[@jimburns2981]

That solo was Sick !!.. OMGosh. 😀

[@scottraustin]

Thank you for another outstanding masterclass and for giving some visibility and recognition to one of my favorite BOSS tenor players from my hometown in central Ohio, where he often played at a club called the Anchor Inn with B3 legend Hank Marr (probably on the cut you played) He was an incredibly gracious human being as well and encouraged younglings to occasionally sit in. You captured his sound and blues (some would shout dirty dirty dirty) phrasing. You should catch his solo on a medley of The entertainer and I'm Old Fashioned with another Columbus OH jazz legend , Trombone hero Gary Carney.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for the great comment

[@alanKells-Wales]

Thanks Jamie, Fantastic lesson!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much!

[@thewarhenk]

Thx for turning me on to this great player, born in the state of WV in which I currently reside! Maputo by Marcus as done by Dave/Bob is one of my faves.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

No problem!

[@markturner2097]

What an awesome nugget of brilliance. Thank you!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are welcome!

[@bullettraderscircle]

Your channel is one of the best in the world for sax players! I’ve always wondered why you’ve never done anything on Kirk Whalum’s famous solo, one of the most listened to ever. Would love to hear your take on it! Hope you’re in good terms with him

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I have. It’s (erroneously) in my 80 sax solos compilation.

[@saxmanash]

Loving this video. Saxophone sensei *bows*. I have the Bettersax Alto sax. I absolutely love it :)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much! Awesome

[@steveclayton495]

Wow Jamie! Love this. Just tried it out...and Wow. Thank you so much. Appreciate all of your content. Been a game changer for me!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you

[@ouzalghost8411]

Brilliant lesson and examples, thanks Jamie

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you!

[@RS-xo7rd]

Thanks for all of that. I'm not a sax player, but work with them a lot, and all those tips are transferable.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're welcome 👍

[@sumanthhejjaji6990]

Great tutorial! Now I know why I never sounded "Bluesy" even when I improvised using the blues scale. Transcribing blues solos will never be the same moving forward! Thanks!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are welcome

[@stephenbashforth8257]

Very timely - starting to solo over Blue Monk. ( PS, Jay Metcalf’s Better Sax Tenor sounds good ! )

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cool. Thanks, yeh!

[@S2B]

I loved this video! I'm a jazz loving guitar player and sax loving listener. My favourite is Jessy J, whom I discovered by accident, whilst looking for Jessie J!😅

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cool 😎

[@squash457]

Your lessons knock me out...😅

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

[@LewisDalton]

This helps so much. Only yesterday I was looking for info and some help on the solo for “lily was here”. It will still probably take me 10+ years to learn it and be able to play it but this really helps. Thanks Jamie

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great! Glad it helps

[@warrensledge5909]

Are you using the octave key

[@japmairshapar5076]

excellent ! merci Jamie !👍

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are welcome 🙏

[@garymelhaff9327]

Wow. That's all I can say. What an incredible tip - such a simple and effective technique that obviously even the masters use. For me I was however confused with the whole b5-b3-2-1 thing only because I was already thinking in natural minors with flatted 5th so talking the notes as they translate from major really threw me for a few minutes. Bottom line for me (probably just me) it would have been much clearer saying it's the first 4 notes of any blues scale going backwards. That's it. I would have immediately understood that but that's just me because I don't think of the altered notes from major - instead my fingers have just memorized the notes in the blues scales and I don't think about how they're altered. For years I've practiced blues scales starting on the tonic. I know it's dumb but I did. This simple thing of just starting on the 4th note of the blues scale and playing down is crazy simple and crazy cool.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Gary - it’s the first 4 notes of any minor blues scale going backwards. 😉

[@alexjardim9431]

Génial merci beaucoup !!!🙏

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome, thank you!

[@alonzoescamilla4960]

Nice blusie class!! (Did you notice that you wrote “concusion” instead of “conclusion”? 😅

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Oops!😬

[@MarkPeotter]

Going upwards, try this - Eb to E to G, or Eb to E to A.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yup. Nice cells.

[@martinvo981]

Can you do a video of Blues solos on an Alto?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

That’s what this was!

[@stellasteele2397]

PS the dot you missed at 13:47 ….. I kept trying to wipe it from my screen. (I don’t have closure issues, honest!) 😂😂😂

[@DolphScreamingSax]

HaHa, I did the same.😁

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🤣

[@justinkirkwood9637]

Great vid. Thanks Jamie. Is that a new horn??

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're welcome. It's the Better Tenor

[@PaulThomas2]

Another great video Jamie. Not your usual Mark VI I see...

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks. Well spotted!

[@flieger59]

Is that the same for the Mayor-Blues-Scales for example C-Major: C D Eb E G A (C) ? And if so, would we take the first 4 Notes backward E Eb D C?

[@travlak]

In a major blues scale, you would play it exactly the same way: Eb D C A. Even though you’re in the key of C.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Doesn’t really work like that, no. See the other reply someone made, they’re right.

[@IANEMBLETON69]

Rusty Bryant is one of the greatest for gutsy bluesy soul funk. Not famous enough by far. You can't help grinning when your hear his licks. Fire eater used to be the first song on our set list to get the groove going.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome

[@rinahall]

Don't forget the famous Maceo solo on Soul Power 74!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍

[@tioliak]

Hello. What mouthpiece is that?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Hi, my complete setup is linked in the description 👍

[@laurapud7137]

Hi, I was wondering, do you have an email or anywhere that I would be able to send you a video of the saxophone I bought? When I press c one of the bottom notes shakes and Id just like to check if that’s meant to happen, I’m fairly certain it’s not, or if I need to return it? Would be very helpful, thanks :)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I’m not a sax tech I’m afraid 😦

[@pipborthwick6313]

Lovely. However, why not resolve from flat 5 to 5 sometimes?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Why? Because that’s not what people typically do. You can of course do what you want, but I’m teaching you the language of the music here. If you wanna make up your own words and phrases, go ahead! Music is freedom after all. 😉

[@pipborthwick6313]

@GetYourSaxTogether that does make sense of course.... and you're right! I just wondered as I like the sound of flat 5 to the 5! Like you say it's freedom.... but like language there's no point making up my own if no one gets it

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@pipborthwick6313 if you like it, do it!

[@stellasteele2397]

What is the sax you are playing please Jamie?

[@stellasteele2397]

Oh it’s the better sax one!! You answered in the vid 😂 . Please get your mitts on the Bari when it comes out….

[@scottdavis7180]

what mouthpiece is that?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh, the Better Tenor

[@brianmatthews232]

reminiscent of part of the pink panther theme

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

True!

[@bobpremecz5429]

"This video is brought to you by BUDGET TITLES R US" - priceless. Seriously, though, that lesson was priceless. I mean, we're talking 'more precious than your mom's Tupperware collection' kind of priceless. And as for this lick? It reigns supreme, even over THE LICK. That’s right, it’s the king of all licks-crowned, sceptered, and probably has a Netflix special in the works.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏🏻

[@carification]

this particular letter answered some vital questions that I wondered about for so long. Again- THANKS 😊😊

Hi Jamie, I like your videos and teaching style, but come on, this is beyond us mere mortals, well me anyway 😂😂

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You got this

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Oops, Jamie gave us concusion at the end ;-)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ha!

[@gregorydutton349]

What happened to your Selmer? And maybe a different mouthpiece? Have you gone from the dark side….😅

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Still have them!

[@ralfbettker-cuza7432]

Excellent! Thank you!
