You, sir, are the best teacher on KZfaq! Can you give us a simple run-down on enclosures. I hear them everywhere, but have trouble playing them. Thanks for all your videos.

I finally got around to memorizing my circle of 4ths and 5ths. Chord tones was my next challenge. Thank you. Now I can move forward with improvisation. You are definitely a no nonsense teacher and for me very effective. Another coffee towards your new computer.

I used to teach theory to kids in a summer jazz camp for a few years, and I used the same techniques that you use here, i.e. the cycle of 3rds. In fact, I have found that spelling triads and 7th chords is easier for them then learning to spell specific intervals. Knowing elementary music theory at the speed of light is critical for tonal improvisation.

I know all since long long time. But I had to explain to my child. I said: take 1 over 2. More or less same thing. But yes that should work for beginers. I think the more difficult is to know alterations. Not the same salad 😂

Great method for learning the chord tones. If you marry it up with the circle of fifths, you are some way toward learning the sharps and flats, too. Instead of learning by rote!

Wonderful, thank you Lynden. This is so useful to me as a newbie. I love my tenor sax and want to do it justice. Is there a common recurring chord sequence in jazz and / or blues that we could learn to quickly play along?

@lyndenblades 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m so pleased that it’s helpful for you. Yes there is a really common chord progression that you can take a look at here: How to improvise over a minor 251 for tenor sax kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e59mgKx63ajWdn0.html

Je suis désolé Lynden, my english is so bad ! Juste un exemple, dans la suite EGBDFACE... si je prends B comme tonique j'obtiens naturellement BDFA, mais en fait B7 par exemple c'est BD#F#A, ma question est comment savoir facilement qu'il faut D# et F# avec votre méthode ? Gérard.
