HELP! I Don't Know My Pentatonic Scales, Part 1

[@enriquethetrombonist1901]

The fact that you’re consistently putting out rich, high quality content such as this and not have 100x the amount of subscribers is criminal. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@ShawnBellMusic]

Thanks for the kind words. I've got no plan to stop anytime soon!

[@daveakoenig]

Love this, thank you for explaining the theory behind what you’re doing. Basing the scale off of the fifth was new to me and I can’t wait to try it out!

[@joelleyssalle2248]

Thank you so much! New areas to work on, using your ears and your head! You sound beautiful!

[@FinnbarrGoesFast]

These videos are so good, I've got so much stuff to work on

Thanks for great videos, I love the tune and can't remember who played it? anybody can tell?

[@ShawnBellMusic]

Herbie Hancock has the original version of "Cantaloupe Island".

[@SmeeUncleJoe]

Gosh great but please slow down

[@pebblebeach8517]

Great sound looks like a large bore bone 🍖….when I think of jazz I think of small bore ….this horn sound very nice…great player tho.

[@ShawnBellMusic]

This is .525 bore horn so on the bigger side but still a small shank mouthpiece. It is funny you noticed as I am actually in the process of switching to a smaller instrument right now. I just happened to record this video a month or so ago and hadn't posted it yet.

[@ScratchySlide]

​@@ShawnBellMusicThanks for the free lessons!! What small bore did you move onto....?

[@ShawnBellMusic]

​@@ScratchySlide I've hopped around on a few horns since I posted this video. Right now I am doing most of my playing on a bach 36 that has been customized to be a modular style horn(removable lead pipe, convertible bell, etc.). I have been playing on this horn for the last 8 or so months and it is really giving me what I need.

[@T-Slider]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Since this is lesson 1 from your point of view, I guess I need lesson (-10). I guess I’m in the wrong place to learn to improvise by ear.

[@ShawnBellMusic]

Thanks for checking out the video. You are right that this one would probably seem a bit confusing/overwhelming if you are just getting started as an improvisor. I released a 6 lesson series last winter that takes you through the process of getting started if improvisation is new to you. I put the links below. Hopefully these help get you going in the right direction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5DSnX-Ff752fdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIDKY4KqjMufh5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJSsdJh8os6HadE kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKQdKCNjLipq9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKQdKCNjLipq9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH61ZHmHm7-sY68
