I low key use this same system!!! The number system helps me with working with different vocalists who changes the key drastically from the original!!!
Very clear and useful, thanks. I thought you'd also talk about how to practice and make the licks stick and last as part of your vocabulary. I admit that this is what I find hardest. I play professionally for years, have transcribed my share of licks, analyzed them and played them in all keys, even practiced using them in solos, but most just won't stick with me even though I'd like them to.
This is awesome, thanks for explaining so clearly! I think for saxophone, memorisation is everything, because you want to use your facial muscles for embouchure, not for opening your eyes. Regardless, real-time processing of sheet music can be a distraction. So yes, really helpful😃
Thanks a lot Jeff. I try this kind if approach but there are so many traps and informaion hidden behind triads pairs ,tritone substitution and backdoors... Hope you'll continue to give us videos like this once!
Wow ! That one was real good teaching ! I'm learning a lot with you Jeff, and you make it so captivating so we can understand on our own, for real ! That's amazing ! (((
Licks are just a powerful and catchy way to end something, although they are also often used in the beginning or middle of lines. Also a 2 5 1 happens a lot in jazz and is easy to improvise/play licks on.

Thank you Jeff
Very well explained and a no-nonsense approach to adding licks to the tool belt! Thank you Jeff for your generosity!!
Finally , all that knowledge is not really too difficult and impossible to internalize and integrate. Thanx to you Jeff ! :>)))

Way cool, very clear, colour our life ~ thanking you ever so much, Jeff! Delicious. 🙂
Best solo tutorial!
This is DEEP. Great lesson.
Thank you so much, wonderful
Very clear method. Thanks
And the opening riff is essentially the Licc minus one note.
love it! would you happen to have any academic sources that use your terms "micro" and "macro" to talk about scale degrees and mode degrees?
Great master
You are a genius
Hey! What software are you using to show the keyboard?

Question: Why does it seem that all licks are based on the end of a musical phrase? It's always on a ii V I. Correct me if I'm mistaken. Thanks!
i was about to ask this too.. how do we know its a 2/5/1?

I kind of understand. But have to see chords written. Maybe it will be clearer when I get PDF. Thank you for the lesson.
Great video, question I want to buy your book collection of licks, by any chance did you have the book in bass clef? I am a bass player.
Yes, bass clef is included.
What software are you using on your iPad?
'Licks for days' were much better than these licks :)
