1:23-8th note...he broke the rule...you can see the guilt in his eyes.

The idea of thinking about two characters was absolutely fantastic!!! These videos are really awesome. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
So glad these videos exist. Such a great resource for aspiring jazz musicians on any instrument!
Yo, Walter, I am SO glad you shared this trick! It really helps musicians of all ages to step of the box and challenge themselves. Bravo!!!
I really like that idea of using two characters to build the improvisation around. Definitely gonna try applying that to my own playing.
sweet I have been bored learning to improvise on sax ultra useful THANKS
as someone who loves conceptual stuff in music, the thing about the two characters is REALLY cool
One of the most interesting sax players nowadays with really elegant style of playing. Elegance is rare nowadays among sax players

SEVERiN They've been built up so it's easier to reach with his palms, so his hands don't have to go far off the sax.
Nice biceps

I'm having trouble memorizing my scales. It gets boring just going up and down the scales. Is there a better way of memorizing scales?

Try learning the first five notes of each major scale. Then you can put them together to make the full scales. Also try taking a simple tune that you know, and learn it in all 12 keys.
That wasn’t roots and thirds, that was sevenths and thirds.
:)
HIS NECK?!!!!!???!?!,!,(? C
Those definitely ain't the first and third man haha!
