CHARLIE PARKER JAZZ LICK TUTORIAL

[@Saxmanjoe]

For this very helpful video, you get my subscription. Thank you for doing this with the scale degrees rather than the letters of the notes. I lean on the scale degrees rather than the note names to identify intervals by ear. I will get this lick learned in several keys. Again I thank you and look forward to more videos like this!!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Joe! Yeah man, that's the way to do it by the numbers. Guitar, piano, and bass players do almost everything by numbers, but I think because most horn players learn by note names in school band we have to circle back around to think that way. I'm definitely going to be doing some more of these!

[@OlaDeLaMar]

Billie's bounce Part B first measures. Thank you Scott I enjoy your videos!

[@MikaHeikk]

Very easy to follow approach to teaching licks - I'll be learning this tomorrow!

[@ScottPaddock]

Let me know how it goes!

[@keithlambert8813]

Great tutorials. I returned to playing the alto after a four decades gap ! Now at the far end of my seventies but ever optimistic that my fingers will continue to work. But not as fast as the greats Parker and Cannonball ! Thanks

[@johncooper9859]

Have only been learning a few months and your videos clear up a load of questions I have had thanks a lot and keep them comming

[@ScottPaddock]

👍👍👍

[@richardglithero139]

Thanks for taking the time to upload this video. Extremely informative and more focused on helping others rather than showing us all how great you are. Having just discovered you I will check out your previous videos and look forward to your new ones. Thank again.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Richard!

[@ScottPaddock]

Glad they are helping!

[@scottlewin4707]

Hi Scott, What gear do you use in this video?.. Thanks Scott (Sheffield UK)

[@760Piper]

Hey Scott...great lick. More jazz please!!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Definitely! I'm going to do a pattern one coming up in the near future as well.

[@chistofanor]

I liked all your videos so far. So keep doing more! I'd like to watch what's your approach to learning the blues and some must know blues licks. Thanks for sharing!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks! I'm planning on doing a blues progression video in the very near future.

[@steveyoung_music]

Hi Scott, Diggin' this lick, well presented and understandable, keep up the great work, more jazz licks please. Steve

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Steve! More to come.

[@scottlane4217]

great job Scott. nice video

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks! New lick video going up in the near future.

[@timobesamusca9332]

Hey Scott, great video, I really liked your idea to use the note numbers within the scale rather than then the notes themselves. I hope you will do more jazz licks, maybe something from Cannonball Adderley?

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks! I'm definitely going to do some Cannonball!

[@carolinedegraef5603]

Great video - really useful. Thanks!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Caroline!

[@alansneedii6559]

Yes sir...do more...bout to try this tutorial now...

[@alansneedii6559]

I just tried it...its easy to catch on and you explain it in a language where as though I can understand...I will honor the home assignment...bout to bang it out in C G D A and F...well D was the example and C you went over...plus the end message when I get my money right and know what skype is I am definitely interested in lessons after the homework and New Years resolution...wow...this really helps and looking forward to more videos and lessons

[@ScottPaddock]

Great to hear!! I'll be doing another lick video in the next week or so.

[@aleanaparra1672]

Great explanation!!! although I'm not a sax player I'm most of the times guitar player and I really get your lessons!! great job!!! THUMBS UP!!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks!

[@saxyterri]

Very helpful. Do more jazz licks.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks! I've got another one coming up Wednesday afternoon. It's called the Crazy Chromatic Trill lick :-)

[@psmitty3715]

Scott Thanks, this was a great tutorial!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks!

[@avonriver2891]

Thank you so much for excellent lecture.

[@samsungthe1126]

Brilliant video scott, just found your chanel during the lockdown for covid19 here in Spain, learning to play alto again after 20 years, any videos or advise on blues licks thanks..peter.. guardamar del seguro Spain

[@ScottPaddock]

Welcome! Yeah, I've done tons of stuff on the blues progression, improv, and a few licks.

[@shawnforster1754]

Great stuff mate..finally back into the alto again after 20yrs..your teaching methods and explanation on all fronts are inpiring from tone quality , techniques and transposing to a key. Can you suggest an octive jumping type lick i can add to my practice routine as overtones / subtones now are heaps cleaner and way better thanks to you..cheers

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey Shawn! Thanks. Yeah, i'll do an octave chop shop in the near future that will get your fingers use to those big jumps

[@frankscapsules6855]

Thank you Scott! Works great for me!👏👏

[@ScottPaddock]

👍👍👍

[@jazzfdy]

very useful!more please!

[@ScottPaddock]

👍👍👍

[@wellyantosuhendra6522]

Thanks bro for the explanation. But can you explain more detail when we should use that scale or method? Thanks before

[@josemanuel2244]

Excelente. Can you make licks about C Adderley?

[@davidkibe6717]

Fantastic!!❤

[@ScottPaddock]

Thank you!!!

[@henriquesimoes5952]

Very nice man, just a suggestion: next time do the degrees relatively to the chord :)

[@patrickrousset2612]

Hi Scott. Excellent ...your video production rythm is so high ( do not reduce ;-)), I m still working the last "jazz articulation concept". Once again thanks!

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks! Trying to gain some traction :-)

[@SchwuppsLP]

How does your horn sound so "high"? Mine sounds completely different

[@ScottPaddock]

It's the amount of air that I put into it along with the equipment I use. In the saxophone world we refer to sound as bright or dark.

[@alvaroalvarez154]

Scott what mouth piece and reed do you use!

[@ScottPaddock]

All of my gear is in the description. Barkley Brazil Kustom Pop 7 Blue and Legere Signature 2.25

[@davidrandal7476]

Hi Scott, I envy your sound and am wishing I had an alto like yours. I play a Selmer super action 80 Alto, and was wondering two things. First is , how would you compare my Selmer to your sax, and the second is , In the movie BIRD, the first club scene shows Charlie at his best, and while I can imitate almost anything Parker does, I cannot figure out what he is doing in that scene. It sounds like he,s just chord surfing, but when I try it, it just doesn,t sound right. So, any helpful hints would be appreciated. And if you get stuck for things to teach, maybe you could do a video, on this.

[@ScottPaddock]

Hey David! Thanks for the message. I haven't watched the Bird movie in several years, so I don't remember that scene. If you can post a link I'll check it out. Selmers have never worked for me. They've always felt stuffy and like I couldn't get enough air through them. I've had other friends who love them, but for me I need something that blows a bit more open.

[@ScottPaddock]

Here's a video I did on the horn I play to give you an idea of what I prefer in a sax: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16ziYyqipVspKs

[@davidrandal7476]

Thanks Scott, I really like your video,s especially the ones on the modes. I spent a lot of hours trying to figure them out with a book I borrowed from the library , but I learned more in 10 minutes with your video, than all the hours spent reading the book. I will try to figure out a way to send you a link, of the piece I mentioned in the movie Bird.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

How do you like the mouthpiece? Can it play warm or is it mostly for cutting through?

[@ScottPaddock]

It cuts really hard, but with some practice you can reel it in and play soft and fuzzy with it. Check out my video on Subtones and you'll hear me playing in that style with it. I actually just got a new shipment of them in today and have a few for sale. If you're interested in more info send me a message through scottpaddock.com

[@marciosaxs]

Great tutorial and great sound! By the way, which mic are you using? Thank you for your videos. Really high quality.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Marcio! I use a share beta 98 clip on mic to record the videos.

[@BlasJohnny]

Nice Bro

[@lottierose8668]

all the licks are in the omnibook

[@ScottPaddock]

True! But the omnibook doesn't explain what Bird is playing and show you how to play it in any key.

[@canisaxofon1812]

Traduccion al español?

[@allegedartistlessons]

Damn, I just posted this lick yesterday. Ha! Ha! I guess it really is a “need to know one.”

[@ScottPaddock]

It's the most popular Bird lick for sure!

[@andylopez0731]

what chord would I use this over?

[@ScottPaddock]

Any major type chord so in this examples a D7 or a Dmajor 7.

[@joancarles9643]

👍

[@hughanderson7285]

Articulation?

[@saxnotamusical8685]

show ..

[@jaredjefferson4204]

sounds like ornithology

[@thebestjarjarbinks7867]

that's what I was thinking
