You are not Only a Great Jazz Musician , You are also a Good Teacher Dave. Thanks a lot.🙏🙋

If only my old time saxophone instructor back in 1955 taught me this technique. It is with me now. Keep up the terrific work passing it on.

Incredible. If I didn't watch the video from the beginning, I honestly would have thought you were in fact playing outside in the last bit. Can't wait to try this for myself.

This tutorial was absolutely amazing. Using intervals larger than a 3rd was the biggest help for me! Thanks for all you do! 💯🎵🎷

I'm a guitar player, and I fully endorse this lesson enthusiastically. If you want to play jazz, you should listen to it. Even better, listen and try to understand the structures. Thank you very much for a most instructive lesson. SUBBED

Like the solo in Steely Dan's AJA.

Thanks so much for sharing your insights in all those lessons Dave! It is all very interesting and helpful!

Love the low notes you get on that tenor. Reminds me of Brecker.

Cant stop looking at that neck dent and thinking about Your how to play smooth jazz video...

good stuff, a fun exercise too! My "typical" method that I use to "go out" is playing atypical arpeggiated 7th chords built on stuff a major second or third away (usually thinking in dominant or major 7ths). Stuff like an Emaj7th, Ab7, or Dmaj7 on a C7 chord; a bit cumbersome though, so I'll definitely be thinking of your method down the line too, thanks :)

Much appreciated! I’ve done a bunch of videos on actually going outside of the chords and creating harmonic tension, but I wanted to do one using no outside notes at all. You can then combine this with harmonic devices to create REALLY out stuff!

Is this the same when the venue owner says, ‘Get Out’! 😂😂😂

Soy sauce was kinda obvious from the reaction. Other than that, 5 sounded slightly stuffy. Bad reed or olive oil? Who knows. Great playing, great summary. Coffee flavoured reeds you say?

Well… this sounds cool and modern, but definitely not out ! That’s why you don’t need more than the C maj scale… Anyway, it’s very interesting, and playing ! thanks

Good for you to play something besides a Selmer. Looks like a 10M or possibl.y Buescher.Sounds great and nickle keys stay better in adjustment than plain brass.

hi dave i have a question that's kind of unrelated to the video but anyway: i'm just starting out on the saxophone but at the moment, i'm spending most of my week in an apartment, where the saxophone is too loud to be played. Do you have any suggestions about this issue? I can actually play the instrument only 3 days a week and spend the other 4 just practicing fingerings without the neck on.

It's worth finding a place you can play - even if there's a small commute involved. Actually, a small commute can help you focus too, so it's really worth figuring out what your options are outside of just your apartment.

there is a coltrane flavor into that plying

This is a great lesson, but would have luvvved if it had the notes visible. Still great stuff.

@DavePollack

Жыл бұрын

What notes? I just improvised using the 2 major scales. I don’t want people to play a transcription of what I played - I want them to use these musical elements (applied to the major scales) to create their own sounds.

It doesn’t sound out at all, because it’s not.

Hate to be that guy, but you're "out" of tune.😁

Dave - how will I ever remember the chords w/o sheet music to apply II V I simplicity and progressions for a solo.
