Wonderful lesson Joel, and well explained and demonstrated. One question: On the practice sheet, '4 shapes...', you include, 1, 3, #5, 1, etc. Would you also include b7? And would you also agree a good way to practice them is to take them through the keys, chromatic, whole steps, minor thirds, and around the cycle?
Thanks! Yes, that would be a great next step! However, at that point there’ll be 12 unique shapes to learn rather that just 4! Happy practicing! Best wishes. Joel. 👍🏼😊
This was a great feature, but I have been a Sax School member for a couple years now I find it really frustrating to find the links to the backing tracks and PDFS from YT as mentioned above...Each time I click on. link from the web page I am forced to sign in again on a new tab,
Hi. I clicked on the link to get the free backing track and PDF for this lesson from the Locker, and then gave my email to get access. Thank you for free access to some of the great resources on the site, but I haven't been able to find the backing track and PDF mentioned in this lesson, "The Easiest Shape in Jazz for better sax solos." I clicked on the link provided below the TH-cam video, but it didn't take me to the backing track and PDF, just a page about the courses offered by the sax school. Can you please direct me to it, or is it available only through the free 14-day trial for the sax school. Thanks.
I just looked carefully through each category of the Locker - technique lessons, solo transcriptions, improvising lessons and even gear guides - and didn't see your lesson. I even tried logging out and logging back in and looked again. And I tried a search for "triads" and for "solos" from within the Locker, neither of which yielded the desired pdf or backing track. Anyway, thank you for the lesson. Someone tried to explain augmented triads to me before and I wasn't able to follow their explanation, but your lesson was clear and easy to grasp and included how to apply them. @@JoelPurnell
The terminology can often sound intimidating, but these shapes are actually really easy to play and apply on the sax. Just give it a go at your own speed and explore the sound! 👍🏼
Hi. A 13th describes the interval from the root of a chord. So if you keep going up a major scale A (1) B (2) C# (3) etc.. until you get to 13 then that is the 13th. In the key of A major that note is F#. Therefore a b13 must be F. Hope that helps!

Hello Joel, which mouthpiece and ligature are you playing in this video? Well done - thank you very much.

Yes, it's there now. Thanks for your help! @@JoelPurnell

I cant help but be totally lost on this, not the teacher- just the material sounds so complicated

Flat 13..... OK am I the only one lost now?

Try stacking to the 13 degree. It’s really important. Learn it.
If I don't go wrong, you can count it a 5th over the octave? Anybody can confirm?
this is a Bb triad !not a C triad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
