That's great! Thank you!!!

Love this simplistic approach. People like, Junior Walker, made their career's on playing the same simple licks over and over on all their songs ... even, John Coltrane, stuck to his themes, built on and experimented with them by small variations over time. Flat fifths are king.

This is so simple, it's brilliant! Thanks Jamie!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much

[@AlexRodriguez-nm5dh]

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are very welcome

[@michellex6322]

This is excellent advice! Thanks Jamie. Great work!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you

[@Simonjmfarmer]

Great video Jamie, very nicely explained and demonstrated!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you

[@newscrews11]

Really really useful! Ta ever so. One side question: I have a YTS23 but could buy a Better Sax tenor. You play both, what's your call between the two?

[@saxmanash]

Thanks for this video, Jamie! Your tips and tricks have been helping me go from strength to strength at my gigs. I also took the leap and got your Improvisation Mastery course a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it! Hopefully the tickets are still on sale or i can get one through the waiting list. Birmingham is my hometown as well 😊

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

That's great! Glad to help We're sold out on this one I'm afraid! Send an email to [e-mail] and we'll get you on the waiting list

[@solomann940]

Thanks Jamie

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are welcome!

[@walterholland1251]

Agreed. Licks are about melodicism. It's like the story Hal Galper told when he asked Cannonball about playing Giant Steps. Cannonball said "we don't play scale exercises".

Really good one Jamie!

Thank you!

Perfect timing on this video, I'm just starting to learn the blues scale. BTW, you've fallen in love with the bettersax?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great! It's very cool

[@chernomorets-daniel]

Love that ❤

As I recall, guitarist Barney Kessel once commented that "If you play scales a lot, you'll become very good at playing scales."

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

How about making a video showing ways of turning a lick into a solo with developement of ideas from the lick? You started doing it over the EDM track but didn't elaborate. That's the core of my DJ live playing. Who knows? It might be worth a hundred videos telling us to learn a lick ;-)

[@ouzalghost8411]

Good one Jamie

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks

[@dcp8nts]

I always play better after I hear you play

[@homeandfamilyservices2650]

Good stuff. Learning the lick etc fine. But what backing track to use?? Why do so many of these help videos just presume when they play a backing track it is an easy and obvious thing to pull out of the bag...

[@benoitdessein478]

Super , merci ! I play trombone, but your vidéos and advises are very clear and very useful for me.👍 thank you

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

That's great. You're welcome

[@robstevens9590]

Cool! Finding a few good licks that fit in many places; great strategy. You seem to really like the Better Sax tenor. Hoping for you to get 100k subscribers! I'm not able make to "Success Formula." I was in Birmingham once, a long time ago (I rode on my bicycle from Oxford to Birmingham in 1966).

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks so much!
