Hi Jamey, I don't understand the English language but I follow your lessons with Italian subtitles. Glad I came across your courses. For me as a beginner it is tough but pleasant, you are very nice and you have given me so much in music. Thank you very much for your commitment. Giuseppe - Solopaca Italy

#4 is my #1 thought when soloing, especially on a tune my band leader wrote "Walkin' Away" since the audience doesn't have any other pre-conceived references like typical cover songs. I'm so looking forward to your "Improvisation Mastery" course, too!

Forgot about that blooper! I didn’t get it anyway.

Great lesson as always Jamie! The minor pentatonic scale fits just about anywhere as you've demonstrated. I'm a bit of a theory nerd, so can you tell me what the chord progression is on the backing track? The reason i ask is that the G- pent fits over it entirely. (It would also fit over the G blues progression). There are going to be songs in G that the G- Pent does not fit over so I'm trying to figure out what the sweet spot is with respect to the usability of this scale. (I'm assuming you are remaining diatonic with a G key centre but I can't pick out chords individually).

Hey Samuel, thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to my list.

Good morning Jamie, as an avid follower of yours , I need your advice! I am very much a sax beginner and it’s quite impossible to have access to a local saxophone tutor . Is it plausible for me to be successful as a sax player but not to a professional level by following the likes of yourself ?, I just want to do some recordings and upload to Facebook and KZread . Online one to one lessons are expensive £30 an hour considering it will be on a weekly basis. I would be very grateful for your input on this matter . Thanks , Robin

That’s a great question and I don’t have a definitive answer. In theory there should be enough information on my channel to get you on the right direction, but you have to self correct and that’s the hard bit. Maybe the proof of the pudding is in the eating?

No one ever does tutorial on "Mirror in the Bathroom", guess it must be a flagged video. But if it's not could you do one? Thanks.

An interesting video. «Everybody steel from Shakespeare “. However, when you systematically are picking up licks from others and put them into your solo, are you then improvising or are you just playing another song?

@@GetYourSaxTogether When you write something, you are using words that others have been using. Otherwise nobody would understand what you are saying. But I would not put the words together in the same order as Shakespeare. When you are to make a solo over a song and chords, you are supposed to be a composer. When you take somebody else’s solo and making it your own, you are stealing.

@@hansmathiasthjomoe4817 in that case, every single sax solo ever played by every single saxophonist is stealing, because there’s not a sax solo ever recorded that isn’t built using parts that have already been played by someone else. But maybe you’re confusing stealing entire chunks of solos with small phrase fragments. The finished solo is the Lego house, the licks in the middle are just individual bricks.
