Lynden. Your approach is such a clever way of teaching. I returned to the sax 6 months ago after a 25 year break. Your teaching technique is so refreshing & enjoyable which makes a musician want to pick up the sax & practise. Hope to catch one of your gigs one day as my daughter lives in Bedford. Thanks a million. K

Hi Lynden, this is my 5th time, and counting listening to this again. Thanks for showing how the piano can be used to visualise scales - which works 100% for me, though I had teachers that discouraged that. Though I had lessons explaining some of these things, how you had put everything together is very helpful and allows easier understanding of the concepts. Please keep doing what you are doing - very helpful for an adult learner who is a beginner at improvisation. I love the video where you demonstrated how all the patterns can be used together for improvisation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! For now, I am pouring through some of the contents to wrap my head around the videos! 😁

The reason ii-V-I works and is so common is it is actually a substitute for IV-V-I which is THE most common/classic cadence (for centuries). The Two chord is treated as a substitute for the Four chord because they share common tones. You will find that ii (minor) often is a substitute for IV(major). In fact Mozart favorite sequence of chords was (vi) to ii to I…. It goes way back.

What I think of this video? Well, I can say I've watched dozens of 251 lessons, and I know music theory forward and backward, and I completely understand the logic of 251 and what we should do. Now, knowing all of that, the actual "process" of getting there has always been a challenge to me! I've watched countless videos that followed a process very similar to yours, basically start with roots, then chord tones, maybe scales, and guide tones and all of that. But something was always missing on those videos! I commented yesterday on another video of yours, and I mentioned that you have a thing for teaching. That's what is missing elsewhere!

Hy Lynden, I only discovered your stuff a few days ago and as someone said - it's pure gold. And I'm not even a sax player. But that's where I'd like to ask for a favor. I play a concert C instrument and it would be great if you could add notes to say what key concert C players should be in to play along with you. For one guy, not worth the hassle, but I find it hard to believe that I'm on my own and there are no other non-sax players who find your stuff super helpful

Wow Tom thank you so much for your feedback. What instrument do you play? I will definitely consider adding concert pitch information in the future but the whole post production and editing side of things is extremely new to me and incredibly time consuming as it is.

@@lyndenblades I'm looking forward to that. I play a chromatic harmonica. I had a harmonica teacher who is a brilliant and accomplished jazz musician. The problem was he played and studied music his whole life and I had a feeling he didn't really realize how overwhelming it all could be for someone who picked up a new instrument and was just learning to read music in his late 50s and had a pretty demanding day job. I think you said somewhere you're self-taught and it shows. Not in a sense that your playing is lacking anything but you understand how to make music accessible and fun because you've been there. There's great of instructional stuff online nowadays but I even if it says otherwise most of it is really addressed to fellow professional musicians (or those who have the time to become one)

Hi it’s David again. I just watched this video again and I might watch it again as I work with the app. I’ll be playing my tenor on these 2 5 1’s I bought the app and I’ve read all the sections on how to use it, however I find the chord wheel to be confusing, How do I write d minor 7 chord. When I use the chord wheel wherever it stops it plays that chord but I don’t wish it to do that unless I hit the little button. All I want to do is right in the chord nut hearing every other chord as I’m trying to put in a simple d minor 7. I’m rambling opps, Sorry. By the why Lynden I’m 78 😂😵‍💫👀but that’s a very poor excuse. Thank You again. Mr Sax

Hi David. It’s tricky because I can’t see what you’re doing, but make sure you have touched the chord box and you’ll see a small white cross or x in the top left corner, then move the wheel and that should solve the problem. If not, let me know and I’ll try to help again 🤝🤝🤝

I would like to continue to learn from you, but the ads are driving me crazy. Have you thought about a subscription service?

Hi Lynden quick question if I may, does the same process apply to making up a 251 in a different root key and for the 2 part of it, assuming sharps or flats are flattened on 3rd and 7th for the dorian or minor scales? Is there a rule thank you, I am playing alto sax thanks Andy

Hi Lynden, Question: If I would like to comp your playing the C Maj 251 (as you played on this video) on the piano, should I do a 251 in BbMaj (transposing)?

Hiya! Yes, that’s right 🎷🎷😎😎🤝🤝

@JamesThomasArscott 6 ай бұрын

Are you playing the actual notes in the chords or are you transposing the notes?

@lyndenblades 6 ай бұрын

I’m playing the notes as written for alto sax. Does this make sense?

Is the sax transposed to concert c?

Hi Dave, the example given on the piano is in concert C and everything on the sax is in C major for alto, hope this helps 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

You threw around the three note idea and you lost me. I didn't follow where the BEG was coming from although it meant more to me on the second hearing.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback and sorry if I could have made what I was doing clearer. Did you know that you can slow KZfaq clips down? Perhaps if you slow the clip down it might make it easier?
