Always wanted to get started improvising on saxophone but struggle to know what to play?
The secret to effortless improvising on saxophone is understanding the rules and having a simple FRAMEWORK you can use.
This makes creating solos that are easy to play but sound awesome - simple!
In this lesson you'll learn a simple strategy you can use right away to start making solos that work on your alto or tenor saxophone.
This is easy stuff, nothing complicated and it's not meant to make "grammy winning" solos. What we are doing though is learning a system that you can apply to other tunes and use as a foundation of your approach to improvising confidently on saxophone.
Once you understand the framework for improvising, you can expand to include more techniques and tactics that will make your saxophone solos sound more authentic.
Whether you are interested in jazz improvising on saxophone, pop sax soloing or playing great blues solos on saxophone, this technique will help you.

Hi Nigel! Thanks for this lessons. I decide to finally learn the horn really late in life so, two years ago I started classes. I love classic jazz but since the advent of Smooth Jazz my love for Jazz took a new level. I like anything funky and fun so, Smooth Jazz, Fussion, Classic and my absolute fave Bossa Nova. My horn is an Alto, a hot Pink Alto Sax; how girlie is thatd. I'm really looking forward to see more stuff in your channel. By the way, I'm a 70s child so, you can imagine the type of mixes and fussion I like in my music 😉🎷

I'm a multi-instrumentalist strongly considering sax as an instrument that may potentially become my main, currently trying to assess the learning curve. I'm drawn to it originally from jazz, but my interest has been massively spurred by a recently-found passion for ska. I love funk as well. Once i get a saxophone I'll definitely be geared towards these rhythmic, blues-based styles. It looks like the pentatonic scales are pretty easy to play, the only big unknown variable for me is the nuances of getting the mouth and tongue stuff right. I'm at least confident that my knowledge of theory and general musical experience will make the learning curve reasonably approachable 😊

@JusDrgn 3 жыл бұрын

This was the first exercise that really made tonguing click with me. I just picked up a cheap second hand Chinese tenor and started playing. I played for a good few weeks without even knowing that tonguing was a thing, and slurring every note has been a really hard habit to break. Playing along to this is the first time that tonguing felt more intuitive than slurring. Thanks for the help!

I’ve always loved jazz music ever since I watched this show called Little Bill when I was a child. It just sounded so interesting to me. As an adult, I started listening to Masego. He’s who really got me into wanting to learn the saxophone. In 2020, there was the big lockdown, so decided to go ahead and purchase my saxophone. I learned a few lessons, but then I fell off because I started back working so I’m pretty much rusty and need to start over. I’d love to learn the saxophone inside and out so that I can play at events and gigs and whatever else lol. Sax is awesome!

Trying to teach beginning sax to my son. Your approach is great. Let us know how to work with you more. This intro music is great.. Get the kid involved and playing fast. There also is the always great: C Jam Blues, where you only need ONE note, and it is great! Keep more coming. WE need real music where the beginner needs only a few notes. The pentatonic scale is the best. You got a great idea. Start with the most elementary real music, not so much scales and arduous activity. Thanks.

I started playing a alto sax but now I’m on tenor. I started to play because I needed something to make me feel better and the alto sax did just that. I stepped away from band for two years due to a sports injury and then tried again this year. I wanted to start off on a alto saxophone ago but I just couldn’t connect to it like I used to. Today (March 23,2021) my band director and I made the decision to try me on a tenor saxophone. I was heartbroken at first but once I started to play the tenor I started to feel better. I wanna get good at the tenor so I can hopefully go back to the alto and be as good as I used to be.
