How to improvise on the sax over Autumn leaves using a blues scale.

In this video I give you loads of lovely Blues scales licks or phrases to learn, show you how to work out a blues scale in any key and how to make great phrases out of the scale for yourself. Then we apply the phrases to the jazz standard The Autumn leaves to create a lovely solo which is an alternative to following the chords which I've done for you in another tutorial.
Heres the tutorial that explains all the chords for the same tune: • How to Improvise over ...

    Hi Lynden, one more brillant and inspiring tutorial! Your explanations how to create simple but so beautiful and effective phrases are real gifts to your audience. I always admire how relaxed your phrases sound over the rhythm in the background with a mix of long and short notes, silences or starting on different beats. My improvisations sound so mechanical and sticking to the rhythm. Do you think you could sometime make a tutorial focussing on this particular aspect of your art? Thanks again!

    Greetings from the way north side of Atlanta! Your presentation is right on and i have enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation of Quartet and Session Band. I just purchased a needed Ipad and will download. I gave up on Band in the Box several years ago. Outdated and clunky plus who really is using MIDI for a class A backing track!

    Ok thank you. My IReal Pro did not have Autumn Leaves but after messing about with it I realised I could import tracks. I imported a couple of different versions. Still learning how to use these Apps. I have all the different versions of Session Band also. As a side note, do you ever use a classical mouthpiece or play anything classical? 🙏
