Big shoutout to the deli hat. Those are some tasty lines!

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

That deli might be the best ever...

[@joaoperes5527]

Great exercises! Thank you!!

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Any time! Thanks for checking them out :)

[@Marcosls2015]

Fantastic and clear explanations and applications! Thanks for sharing

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Many thanks :)

Great exercises for targeting chromatic ideas. It’s also important to practice rhythmic vocabulary scale wise in order to avoid playing in 8th notes the whole time.

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Yes totally agree. I like to encourage students how to fill up the space with notes first just because in my opinion that is a skill set that requires more practice. The thought is also that when you acquire that ability, leaving notes out and playing with rhythms becomes easier when you have more things to play under your fingers. Rhythm is equally, if not more important though when it comes to generating musical variety and interest!

[@bobblues1158]

This will enable you to burn like Sal Nistico and Sonny Stitt! Great Steve!

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

100%! I wish I could be a fly on the wall for one of Sal's practice sessions - rhythm master!

[@enriqueernesto738]

Great exercises and inspiration!

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Thanks so much!

Great exercise

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Thanks very much - I'm still working these out too but I already feel the benefits just from recording this video!

I'll be shedding these. Something that I think is interesting about the major scale is the inherent symmetry. Of course, the formula is WWHWWWH, but many people dissect that into a series of 3 and 4 when they say it. If you think 3 1 and 3, you will notice that the center whole step is where the line of symmetry is drawn in the scale that makes all of the musical relationships possible.

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

The symmetry in odd groupings is a beautiful thing! I think that's part of why the 7 note scale is so popular also - always appreciate your insightful viewpoints!

[@JS-dt1tn]

Yes!

Brother-Steve looks like the kind of dude, you'd have a "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" episode with xD

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

hahah - I'll be there in June with my attorney - lets go! 🏜️🤣 ☠️

[@percyvolnar8010]

@@SaxophoneSteveKortyka HAHAH. Love ya, man!

[@josherdie3480]

I see you using your V1 solid silver neck still. I thought a lot about getting that for my Yamaha. I wonder if it would work on my Artist Edition Saxophone too and how that would sound . Also I'm thinking about getting the Godwin Louis SYOS mouthpiece. That might make for a pretty smooth combination.. If you have any opinion on about this please let me know. You're doing a great job with the videos you are making. Please keep them coming. They are more helpful than the majority of videos uploaded by youtube saxophone instructors. Thank you for your time and consideration

[@kennethhollinstv]

Very nice!

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Thanks cat!!

[@inflatedear7131]

Great lesson Steve. What set up are you using? Is that a Vandoren mouthpiece

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

Hey thanks so much! Its a Boston Sax E series. GREAT mouthpiece- I'm using a 9 tip opening in this video but recently switched to a 7* and have been very happy with it. I also really like the vandoren T series mouthpieces but prefer the Boston Sax piece because it has slightly more edge to it :)

[@inflatedear7131]

Thanks Steve.

[@inflatedear7131]

I've been playing on a vintage Guy Hawkins metal #9 for years and am looking to change to a hard rubber with a smaller facing.

[@kaangezgin5582]

these are great exercises but playing all these in 12 keys probably take months of practice 🥲🥲 imma do it anyway

[@SaxophoneSteveKortyka]

You and me both! I definitely cant play all these ... YET - but getting them down is gonna be super rewarding, I can already feel it :)
