A brilliant lesson Jay. Many thanks from a 78 year old ‘ returner ‘ to the alto !

It's fascinating how you can play the same lick over and over and still make it sound interesting. I'm always looking down at myself for being repetitive but these videos are opening a whole new world of options. Thank you!

I started to play Alto Sax three days ago and thanks to you i can get clean good notes with some vibrato, and has already learned easy pentatonic lick lesson 1 and two whole scales. I even stumbled into the solo lick from Pink Panther. My progression is really fast and i learn and master something new every time i practice. Thanks for great and easy to understand lessons. Keep up the good work.

@andrewperederij4535 9 ай бұрын

Thank you Jay As a long time beginner player on the alto, after taking several accordion lessons as a kid, I am now beginning to understand how an accomplished player incorporates pentatonic scale with an occasional improvisation between an established lick pattern This gives me hope that With following your technique, I can strive to sound more professional and play more fluidly… But only as I put the time and effort to apply this as I practice. For years, I have developed an ear to play Melodie’s quite well, but today You have inspired me to learn to play the pentatonic scales in time using a backing trac. Again, thank you !
