How to improvise on the sax over Autumn leaves using a blues scale.

[@wilsoncadet6651]

Thanks!

[@lyndenblades]

Wilson thank you so much, your support is greatly appreciated 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@trefordavies3670]

I didn’t realise a single scale would fit Autumn leaves … will try this tomorrow . Amazing ..

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you Trefor and thanks again for your kind support 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@knowcera]

I enjoyed your video. I feel from your explanation that I could use the Blue’s scale for almost any improvising situation.

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you! You can certainly use a blues scale in lots of situations 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@DavidAndersen-sq6ke]

Really enjoyed your presentation. You really care about helping us. Mahalos

@@DavidAndersen-sq6ke thank you so much, and yes, it’s extremely cool to think that my approach to music is helping other sax players. I love it 🎷❤️🎷🤝🤝😎😎

[@daveball137]

Fantastic. I never realised you could play the blues scale over this progression.

[@lyndenblades]

Thanks Dave, yes it works really nicely 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@smoothplatex7117]

Excellent food for thought. Thanks for your simplification of a complex situation.

Thank you! Very well presented. I'm 76, and just beginning. I want to print out your notation, visualizing the hand movements.

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you so much and you’re most welcome, how exciting to be starting playing 👍👍🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@markrondinelli9582]

Hi Lynden. This is great. I am working on Autumn Leaves this month and this will be a great help. I have been trying to solo using the chord tones of each cord, but the blues scale will make it easier. Thank you. Cheers 🎉

[@lyndenblades]

Mark you’re most welcome, thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

Thank your for another great video Lynden! One of the best yet and perfect as I am working on Autumn Leaves at the moment.😀👍

Wow thank you so much, your support is greatly appreciated 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@Andre-bf1rp]

Hi Lynden, one more brillant and inspiring tutorial! Your explanations how to create simple but so beautiful and effective phrases are real gifts to your audience. I always admire how relaxed your phrases sound over the rhythm in the background with a mix of long and short notes, silences or starting on different beats. My improvisations sound so mechanical and sticking to the rhythm. Do you think you could sometime make a tutorial focussing on this particular aspect of your art? Thanks again!

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you Andre, that’s extremely kind of you to say and I’m so happy to know that this is useful for you. I’ll take your comments and suggestions on board, thank you 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@dexterleeledford2347]

Lovely and everything breathes! Thank you. I love these lessons and I am applying them! Would you please do a similar video for Georgia?

[@lyndenblades]

Hi Dexter! Thank you so much and that is a great suggestion 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@floridaguy1955]

Greetings from the way north side of Atlanta! Your presentation is right on and i have enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation of Quartet and Session Band. I just purchased a needed Ipad and will download. I gave up on Band in the Box several years ago. Outdated and clunky plus who really is using MIDI for a class A backing track!

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you and greetings to you from the Uk 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🤝🤝🎷🎷 I’m so glad that you’ve found this useful and thank you for the feedback 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@garyjeneson1519]

More great content Lynden! Thanks. Which track would I use for this on iReal Pro? Blues Practice?

[@lyndenblades]

Thank you! On iReal pro you could use the actual tune Autumn Leaves or a blues practice track in E minor 🤝🤝🎷🎷

[@garyjeneson1519]

Ok thank you. My IReal Pro did not have Autumn Leaves but after messing about with it I realised I could import tracks. I imported a couple of different versions. Still learning how to use these Apps. I have all the different versions of Session Band also. As a side note, do you ever use a classical mouthpiece or play anything classical? 🙏

[@lyndenblades]

@@garyjeneson1519 hi Gary, glad that you got your app sorted out. No, I love classical music but never have played any 🎷🎷🤝🤝😎😎

[@neoscahaule6199]

Hi Teacher which app are you using for backing track

[@lyndenblades]

Hi, it’s called Quartet 1 available for iPhone and iPad 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

[@petersmith228]

What key is the track in Lynden is it Eminor for alto.

[@lyndenblades]

That’s right 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
