Yeah but the fingerings are different for each key on saxophone. It's all relative on the fretboard so they're all pretty much the same shape. Since the guitar is tuned in perfect 4ths, besides the B string which is a major 3rd above G, just compensate a half step higher on the B string whenever you encounter it and you'll always arrive at the same formula.

Hello Greg, I have a question: if you reversed the line and ascended, would you start on the root and ascend the arpeggio, adding the half steps between the fifth and seventh? Or would you start on the major sixth (Dorian minor) ascend chromatically to the root and continue ascending the arpeggio from the root to the seventh of the chord? Just wondering why most chromatic bebop licks sound better descending than ascending? Thank you for another great lesson!

@GregFishman 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Zenncatt, Yes, you could reverse the line and ascend in the way that you describe, though, to my ear, it sounds better descending, because the end of the line (as I present the lick) feels like it has a "strong landing," while the reverse (ascending) feels to me like a "weak landing." We could fix that ending if we just add three eighth notes to the end of the phrase when played ascending. Try adding: G A F, with an accent on the F. You could also put the chromatic notes between the root and the third when ascending: C C# D Eb G Bb. Greg

Sounds good.

Thanks Greg, I like the idea, do you have other ideas similar to the chromatic descending mixed together with the chord 5,3,1

This was solid. Next time, do it in alto. You gave me a headache transposing from tenor to alto. Ha ha ha...keep up the great work!

If you haven't already could you go over the "cycle" as you called it? Like all the chords and how they connect.

@GregFishman 9 жыл бұрын

Hi UndeadGamingCA, The Cycle (sometimes called the "circle of 4ths or circle of 5th): C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B E A D G C. It's a "perfect fourth" interval if you go from C up to F. It's a "perfect fifth" interval if you go from C down to F. Memorize the sound of this pattern so that you can hear a C ascending or descending to an F and still realize that you're hearing the "cycle." Also, don't always start on C. Get comfortable starting on any note.

Okay wow so quick to reply with great info, thanks a lot! So to go through the cycle would I play a C7 F7 Bb7 and so on?

Mr Fisherman are you basing this on concert pitch I am an alto player

@GregFishman 5 жыл бұрын

I'm saying the name of the note I'm fingering on the TENOR SAXOPHONE. If I say "B," that would be a concert "A" or your "F#." If I say "C," that would be a concert "Bb" or your "G" on alto.

Hey Greg, how to you make the saxophone have a jazz sound? I try, but never understand exactly what to do.

@GregFishman 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Alicia, There's not a single "sound" for jazz. You will sound like a combination of your favorite players. Listen to many great players on your instrument, imitate the sound of each of them, and then your sound will be a combination of all of your favorite players. Please let me know if you'd like to schedule a Skype lesson sometime. Here are details: www.gregfishmanjazzstudios.com/emaillessons.html

is the lobster theory written for "C" instruments?

@GregFishman 6 жыл бұрын

Yes. It's actually a universal book...there's no play-along with that book, so you would just play the music examples as written, regardless of the instrument. The book is mostly text with analogies that describe the process of improvisation.

Greg. What is a cycle ?

@GregFishman 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Thomas, The cycle is: C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B E A D G. That order of notes. That is the most common order for chord progressions. You need to memorize that order and train your ear to recognize it when you hear it. BTW, please check out my new video lesson site: www.gregfishmanjazzstudios.com
