Learning how to play Rhythm Changes was excellent, since I didn't go to school to learn music and I'm mostly self taught having some one spell out the theory is great!

Thanking you for all the creative exercises, and especially your 64 one bar jazz lines at 14:00. :-)

Thank you Mark. It is really appreciated to hear that I am on the right track. Are you able to add the licks yo your playing?

in principle it is very good and easy to understand your lesson, and your form is better - but could you make some lines, that I would like to be a little more interesting, just like the the one you started the lesson with, more elegant with chance in the rhythm

Hi SFHansen57, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. In the video I am focusing on just plainly learning to play between the chord and target notes. The focus has not been on the rhytmic placement of the notes. This is maybe even more important than the notes played. I will make a video about the rhytms of jazz. I hear from your comment that you are maybe looking for more challenge.Every week I post two licks in my insider saxophone group, maybe this material is also interesting for you. facebook.com/groups/sorenballegaardsaxophonelessons/?ref=share
