    Lynden I have been stuck in the same place for last ten years in terms of improvisation .. your recent lessons have been the catalyst for change . I have always lost my place in the piece or got flustered . Your approach to teaching is making me want to pick up my sax and enjoy it again . You are a Sax God … Thanks

    Trefor, I’m so happy to hear that and it’s so cool to think my videos are helping 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎 I’m certainly no sax god, just a sax student exactly the same as you but thank you for the compliment 😎😎 I’ll let my wife know 😂😂😂

    To some have never even heard Blue Bossa I feel that you should have maybe started by Playing The Blue Bossa Theme so people have an idea what they are supposed to be soloing Over

    Thanks for your feedback Alexander and the reason that I don't play the melody is that the video will get a copyright strike if I do. Hope that makes sense! 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷

    Awesome as always. You never miss! Would any other blues scale besides the A Blues Scale do it as well? B as the second mode of Bb Major. Why not the B Major? Thank you

    I play tenor - Q. to use this lesson... do I play the notes you wrote 'down a third'? or - can I just play them the same way--- and sound 'up a third?'. separate question - the band I am starting to play in plays Blue Bossa in the key of C. - meaning the 1st 2 chords, for me on tenor are dm7 & gm --- how can I use your lesson to solo on my tenor with them?❤
