Thanks for making the lick easy to follow scott, important for slow learners like me..peter, Spain

[@tkannen]

Breaking down riff this way is incredibly useful. Thanks!

[@jzgtr100]

As a jazz guitarist, I use the third lick, but in 1/8 note triplets, taught to me by Pink Martini, guitarist, Dan Faehnle. Using groups of four notes in triplets sort of tricks the ear. Something pretty simple sounds very cool. Thanks for the great lesson.

[@gutomouville]

I transcribed this lick off of Gerald Albright's solo in that pick up the pieces video with the Phil Collins big band. Great line to work the finger and it sounds amazing uptempo!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, you would definitely hear this lick from Gerald!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah! Same rhythm and similar lick.

[@jtetrouvejtetrouve8719]

Bonjour Scott , je suis super fan de tes videos .. la !! la !!?? tu as repondu a mes questions et celle ci, a ce jour, est une vraie merveille .. j'ai un seul regret , tes cours ne sont pas en francais .. ;-) .. je joue sur une selmer 80 sup action serie 2 .. Bec 7.3 .. Claude Lacquey . Pourriez vous me dire , si pour jouer du funk l'embouchure est correct ou si elle est trop large .. parce que je trouve que pour le jazz c'est une bec terrible mais demande pas mal d'air .. donc pour jouer ultra rapide c'est .. compliqué .. Merci pour tout le travail que vous partagez .. C'est superbe .. MERCI Stephane ..

[@ScottPaddock]

Bonjour Stephane, I'm not familiar with the Lackey mouthpiece you have, but for funk, you want a steeper baffle mouthpiece, and any mouthpiece you play should be easy to get air through. If it's really hard to play start by switching your reed strength. If that doesn't fix it, then it might not be the right mouthpiece for you.

[@jtetrouvejtetrouve8719]

@@ScottPaddock Thanks Scott, it's a special jazz embouchure, with my saxophone it's going very well vandoren black jazz 3 or 3 1/2 .. I love it .. but nothing works anymore for funk exercises so I'm going to buy myself a more suitable mouthpiece and especially less wide than a 7*3 Thank you again for the quality of your work and the provision of your knowledge ;-) Cordially Stephane Lavidalie

[@yakndok]

I see you still had your C melody horn (at least 10 months ago) . Did your impressions change or has it moved on?

[@ScottPaddock]

I still have it. I honestly don't play it very often. It will take a few months of practicing it to make it feel natural, and I just don't have the extra time to put into it right now.

[@skimanization]

That's awesome!!!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks!

[@dcp8nts]

Hey Scott! Where is the link to your funk tutorials? Thanks!

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey - I've got a full course on Funk Improv in my Sax School, and I have done several KZbin videos on Funk Improv/style just go to my KZbin page and type in Funk in the search bar.

[@raseshgandhi6702]

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Rasesh!

👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Bravo Bin 👍🌹🌹🎧⭐✌️🎷

[@rcran2491]

Do you use a compressor after your mic? Your sax sounds very bright and powerful, or is it the mouthpiece?

[@ScottPaddock]

No, I don’t use a compressor, just some reverb. It’s the way I put the air into the sax along with the high baffle mouthpiece.

[@billzerz7400]

I’ve got to get you (this lick) into my life.

[@hyperplayer8967]

What mouthpiece do you use?

[@ScottPaddock]

I use a Barkley Brazil Kustom Pop 7 Blue on alto (all of my gear is listed in the description if you want to check it out)

[@hyperplayer8967]

Thank you!

[@noahlarsen6145]

The pdf didn't come into my email. Is there a direct link to it?

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Noah, it looks like you signed up for the PDF with two different emails. Did you check your junk mail for the "live" email address? It's probably waiting for you in there 😁 I also sent you the link to the PDF in a separate email.

[@jaylevert2312]

Your PDF did not come to my email. Do you have a direct link? P.S. your sax school is fantastic!

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Jay! I just sent you an email with the link to download it. I think because you are already a member of the Sax School, it didn't automatically direct you to the file. Glad to hear that you're enjoying the School!!

[@kentmatsui2724]

It sounds almost exactly like Earth Wind & Fire’s version of The Beatles “Got To Get You Into My Life”
