Scott - You're videos are excellent. You are able to get across some useful ideas and techniques very easily by explaining them clearly and then showing how it's done, drawing on your obviously vast musical knowledge and experience of playing this wonderful instrument - the saxophone. Your graphics are also brilliant in reinforcing the learning. I learned the sax when I was sixteen at school and have picked it up again many years later at the grand age of 68. They say you can't teach an old dog news tricks but you have proved this wrong. You're teaching style is enthusiastic and informative and gives one great motivation to have a go and improve. I will watch all of your videos - they are infectious. Keep them coming. Thank you.

Hey Scott I've been playing a while and do all of this stuff, and to your point, have to be aware not to overdo it (I was in fact thinking that very thing earlier today). But I must say, you sound fantastic. You have great technique, and your tone puts you in the world-class category. There are some players you can recognize quickly and you are becoming one of those guys for me. The sound is drawing me in, so I'm about to search for a live setting and really hope you have something posted....and I subbed...

Hey Patrick what's with the word "Tricks?" It seems these days whenever someone is talking about a "technique" they use the word trick instead. I feel like it's a marketing conclusion that people are more responsive to a trick as it implies it doesn't take any work you just open the can and this trick pops out, no work necessary.

Hi Scott, this are by far the best sax teaching videos !. A question: how do you deal with the middle C# that is in the melody?. It sounds nice you you play it. In most alto sax models it sounds thin and out of tune. Do you use alternate fingerings there ?.

Looking forward to it! One lesson suggestion might be to do something on playing in a Rock style, a little like your very concise lesson on funk. I tried to play in a cover band a while back, but I: a) hadn’t counted on those tough guitar-oriented key signatures and b) couldn’t drop my jazz-standards phrasing or my “stock” phrases.
@ScottPaddock6 жыл бұрын
Hey! Yeah, those key signatures are tough!! Now I'm super comfortable in C# and F#, but when I first started playing in that style it was a bit of a struggle. I'll put rock style on the list. Thanks.
