Very, very well explained and illustrated, Scott. This is where the hard work comes in, where, in order to play something nice we have to stop, read, analyze and think before we practice. It's inescapable. Thanks for your assurance that after a while of doing this with a few songs, all this eventually becomes easier and more natural to do. I've learnt quite a few standards and other songs (with solos) to broaden my repertoire but in order to continue on that trajectory, I have to spend a bit more time analyzing and remembering the chord progressions so that I can identify and migrate the accompanying ideas to other songs that use them. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, a lot of people skip the "analyze" step and it's one of the most important, because it will help you see that patterns that repeat over and over.

Hi, Mr Paddock. A few months i'm training with your "The Ultimate 2-5-1 Exercise". Yes it's great exercise. I think that video tutorial is a very important to understand how use right the 2-5-1 progression. Very like your lessons. Thank you.

Doesn't take the pain and frustration away from doing the heavy repetitive over and over again practice involving the chords (which for most of us, is the deal breaker)....but got to love the results that come from your step by step template that builds the base up from the ground to improvise over any standard! Think your choice of Autumn Leaves is great too because if you get memory built on the 8 bars, you've got the rest! As always, great things can happen following Scott Paddock!

Thanks Lance! Very true, the hardest part is putting in the work in the beginning until it starts to feel natural. It can be a bit painful in the beginning.

Super super helpful- thanks so much for this and all your lessons! RE: voice leading -- Where you show the F# to the G in both measures 2 to 3 and also 3 to 4, you are using the 3rd chord tone to the first, then the 7th to the 5th (versus the 7 to 3 general guideline). Is that because of the recommendation to only move by half step?
@ScottPaddock Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, when going to the 4 chord if you want to use a half step you have to go to the root or 5th.

Scott: I’ve been playing sax for many years - and my practices have been erratic to say the least. I’ve come to discover how important it is to understand a chord progression - key centers - and harmonic movement - but I have a heck of a time when I start to put that logic together. Tunes like Four, Softly as a morning sunrise, and meet Miss Jones wack me out and I become so frustrated trying analyze it drives me nuts. When you look at a song that’s unfamiliar - do you do a wide look, key center look, then chords? How will I ever remember chord sequences. Yes, I’m open to take one on one lessons. Neil

Hey Neil! Those are not the best tunes to start with. It's actually pretty easy to figure out if you take it step by step and learn tunes in an order that starts easier and progressively builds on what you've learned while getting a little more challenging. Not to hit you with a sales pitch, but I have an improv course in my Sax School that does exactly that. Starts you off at the beginning, and by the end of it, you understand how to recognize the patterns that chords follow. Chords aren't random so they are always working together in some way, if you learn to identify the patterns, it becomes way easier to see how everything works together.

Great lesson. Find it hard to hear all the changes.
