Thank you for this, perfect timing for me…..my fingers need a tune up!

[@SaxCasts]

We all neglect them along the way, definitely worth putting sax time into a couple of times a week!

I have mental blocks with certain 3 note runs eg C# E G# however much I try to my fingers won’t go above 75bpm with these 3 notes. It’s like a metal block…..

[@SaxCasts]

While thinking of them as C#m turn them into longer phrases working through the chord ideally from low c# up to high c#/palm key E. 1) Work up the triads eg. c# e g# e g# c# g# c# E in rising triads 2) alternate the rhythms with a heavy swing long short then short long 3) Hammer minor muscular motions by breaking the triad up into thremolos so c# - e quavers for 4 beats then e - g# for 4 beats steadily increasing the tempo. 4) move between C#m and a related chord to get a practical application of the movement eg F#m so: c# e g# - f# a c# These exercises are a nice mix of understanding and drilling the moments on Sax. Should help!
