Such a valuable resource, keep it up!

Although I like the sound of the SYOS piece, I like the Ted Klum Florida model better in that it gives one a more authentic Tenor sound whereas the SYOS sounds a little thinner and the tonal range doesn't sound as wide as the Florida mpc. Great review Rick!

Bb and C triads are in the key of F, not two different keys.

Awesome info Thank you

You are an excellent teacher and musician.

I just found your "100 Essential Jazz Standards" videos and I'm just very excited, they're great 👍🙌🔥

So, the goal is memoryze the sound of a single note, in the case the flat 9, is that?

love it

I don't know if I understand correctly, so I should practice several different licks, which contain the note 9 flat, so I could memorize the sound of 9 flat, is that it? Is the goal to memorize flat 9? If that's the object, how would that make me sound more jazzy? 

Whats the name of this tune?

Dig this concept

What is the title of this tune?? I don't recognize it.

great big tenor sound. the tone reminds me of Dexter Gordon or Gene Ammons.

Soft and nice sound ❤

Patterns for jazz, too. Gives you the first 3 keys in an exercise then you have to do the rest in Your head.

Wow! I am a pianist on Cape Cod and saw that he is scheduled to play a concert here this month and needed to look him up because I was not familiar with him. I listened to him play online and then found this fabulous conversation. Besides his beautiful playing, I am so impressed with his upbeat personality and great communication skills. What an amazing teacher he must be for his Berkeley students! Thanks for sharing this.

Interesting. Are you intentionally still phrasing them in 4s/8s and not in 3s/6s?

Wow. These chats are great. It’s really hitting on so many of the hang ups and “issues” I often overthink about when it comes to practicing. Thanks 🙏

What alto is that, you sound great!

Nick, this is awesome! Love the dim sounds !!

what make/model is your horn?

I totally agree but third I would choose Miles.

Way cool! Can I buy it from you?!

Where is the full video?

Very cool 🎉

Hi❤ i wanna play this on alto sax,to use this in Bb concert blues lines. How many semitones i shoud up or down this lesson to use in concert Bb , please.and how can i use thise in blues lines❤?

Hi! What concert key of that lick? How many halfsteps i shoud up or down this to be able to play this in concert Bb blues. Its looks like 2-5-1.

Hi there,can we put this in the blues? And where to put it?

Has Nick ever posted a lesson that didn't make one stop to think and re think about what you've been doing or not doing? Another great tid bit you could spend hours applying to uncountable places

Excellent ! Thanks a lot !! :)

Reminds me of Lee Konitz’s playing

pdf?

You are a great Musician.

Great lesson as always Nick. How do you put up with these idiots scanning YT for lessons ( because they need them) who then comment that you don't do correctly 😮? I guess it's impossible to teach someone who thinks they know everything. Swing on Nick!

I like this idea, thanks.

Nice, buttery tone.

You're inspiring me to practice...I can hear both your tone and facility on the horn has grown over the last year. I'm a long time sax player who has concentrated on guitar as my primary instrument and is now trying to get the same level of chops on the sax. I've played both for 40ish years. It's the 12 keys that makes it the slow grind on sax! Dexter Gordon will always be my favorite player!

Cornerstone Pizza about to pop off

In the passage about "diatonic triads," you refer to the part of the solo that, by that time, is off the upper part of the screen, so the listener has no notion of the specific notes to which you refer.

It is disconcerting to hear you talk over the solo. If you want to comment, stop the solo and comment. I am not familiar with some of your jargon, which I'd like you to explain, such as your talk about chords and notes placed over them. I would appreciate it if you would go slower and explain more fully.

Killer solo, very hip, bouncing all the time!

that is some killer tone...going to practice long tones right now :-D

Hopefully this helps I can practice for about 30 minutes before my mouth feels like it's on fire

"You know all those minor thirds and major thirds...It's like a Ouija Board man. "

You really do learn something every day.

Good Idea, but the half of all is missing. You have to hear to what the Lines are related- the harmony/chords! And the piano may played f.e. this Bbm-Sound… Music is more hearing/feeling, less calculating. Calculating-Stuff is nice for Authistics, Asberger‘s or AI‘s :-)

…..,and the livin’ is easy! Thanks Nick!

Impressive

Thank you!!!
