Thanks for the videos, Jeff. I am a bass player and find your videos very helpful. I love that your topics are musically broad and not just centered on the sax, this broadens your subscriber base, imo. Keep up the good work.
Im really liking your ideas and your sound on the sax!! You give someone, who comes from the classical side of the sax a very good and transparent explanation of jazz and therefore your videos are a great entrance to the world of jazz. Looking forward to those every day videos! :) Greetings from Germany
Hey man, awesome to hear these vids are coming every day, I'm super excited! If I could make a suggestion: can you go really in depth into how to use the tritons sub as a soloist? Like when to use it and how to use it effectively? Thanks! Your vids rock!
thank you so much!!!! Many people who play jazz are used to talk about this like a top secret or clasified information but you explein it clear and easylier.
Jeff, I really enjoy studying all your videos . I learn so much, that I never took the time to do right. Now I,m really enjoying "shedding " your instruction. Thanks man !!
I think the Lick-Lessons are nice because it gives specific examples for practice. :D nice videos btw - always stuffed with information and a good explanation.
Nice one Jeff. Guitar player here. This lick is very useful. I had fun placing it into what I might normally do and then changing it up and mutating it. Good ear opener.
+JSchneidsMusic I like your videos, man. Not only very good for sax players, it is useful for musicians in general, and I do not hesitate on suggesting it to friends. Congratulations! Keep it up!
Jeff, I'm a classical player... have always wanted to get that "jazz sound". Discovered your tone stuff and have been watching your embouchure...have been working on eliminating the covered lip but I've never been able to figure out how you jazz cats create that unique doit sound. So I've been watching and listening to the 5th note of your figure at 1:08. Can you maybe do a video about just that... how to articulate a doit rather than a clean, straight articulated note? I know where in my phrases I want to articulate to get that sound but I can't, for the life of me, make it happen. Thanks for any suggestions, and thanks for your great videos.
Wow! Awesome explanation, giving chord tones of the arpeggio + which degree to start on and what chord it fits nicely over... super! I feel like I have something I can really work on. Jeff, would you mind adding to this by mentioning what arpeggio would fit nicely over a dominant 7th? Then, I'd have a cool II, V, I exercise to work on. Thanks, Jeff.
+jaykay1053 Thanks for the comment! You can try the line starting on the 6 or 13 of a V7 chord: C7 would be A Bb D F A. A slight variation that works is F# G Bb D F#, but that does change the intervals of the original line.
Teaching more about theory would be so awesome. I'm in music school but all the theory courses are mostly classically focused. Trying to find some great outside resources for learning about jazz harmony
Great Video Jeff.Quick question: Concert C(Ionian)-7,1,3,5,7 or B,C,E,G,B Then you state D-7,same numbers,7,1,3,5,7 or E,F,A,C,E If the D-7(Dorian) key is used wouldn't the same numbers(7,1,3,5,7) be C,D,F,A,C? Apologies for not understanding but why then did you change to 9,b3rd,5,b7th,9?
Why do use an example that with the alto (that you are playing) is in key of C# which requires 7 sharps, probably the hardest scale to learn? Although the lick may be “easy”, putting it in 7 sharps makes it intimidating!
Hmmm, that D-7 chord is identical the major F using the original inversion you used on the first chord...confusing. So a cmaj7 + Fmaj7 is the same exact thing, just different inversions.
The way i see it it's the same, but depending on the chord you are playing in, it makes different kinds of tension, wich makes a rich diversity of sounds on each kind of chord
because Dmin is the relative minor of f major. so he's playing the notes you would play of the chord was Fmaj7. but it's just the relative minor chord so it works there too. don't think of it as starting on the 9th of the minor chord, but the major 7th of the relative major. so in terms of Fmaj7 (or Dmin, same key), he uses E (maj7) F (root) A (3rd) c (5th) E (root). make sense? I can try to explain better if it doesn't make sense
Nice videos good stuff.... only advise would be to play more.... talk less. Would be useful to hear a simple rhythm section behind you... to show how the "licks" can be used in the real world situation with a band.
I am so glad that you will be posting more videos. These tips have tweaked every detail of my playing as a trumpet player. Your awesome man!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

+Didit ZP hahaha, whatever works!
How does he do that little shake thing when he plays high C#? At 2:59 Does anyone know what that embellishment is called and/or how to do it?
Wow! Awesome explanation, giving chord tones of the arpeggio + which degree to start on and what chord it fits nicely over... super! I feel like I have something I can really work on.

David Randal And musician ;)
No, he meant Woody Allen... just take a look at him! :-)
You are amazing
Thank you so much :)
Jeff hi!! Do more blues licks please. maybe blues-be bop. Thanks.
Thanks, Denis! Will do :)

Hey Jeff, Love your videos!!!! Can you do a video with two fast moving be bop lick going thru a ii v i changes...thanks in advance!!!!
+Wildmayer Marcelin Hey, thanks!!! Do you mean 2 lick within 1 ii v i?
Hi Jeff, I clicked on the link it is gone now. Do you still have it? Thanks
super awesome
really would like some funk licks to purchase please:)
Great Video Jeff.Quick question:
Concert C(Ionian)-7,1,3,5,7 or B,C,E,G,B
Then you state D-7,same numbers,7,1,3,5,7 or E,F,A,C,E
If the D-7(Dorian) key is used wouldn't the same numbers(7,1,3,5,7) be C,D,F,A,C?
Apologies for not understanding but why then did you change to 9,b3rd,5,b7th,9?
Thank you. Very Helpful. It could be more helpful if you show the note at the bottom of the video. Thank you for your work
Thanks, Olivier! You can check out the written notes here if you like: bit.ly/1X6oROK
Just ordered "Bebop#1" , hope it will help this amateur trumpet player , Thanks!
Thanks for your order, Louis! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Guide is broken i guess? Cannot be downloaded
The Charlie Parker of saxophone instructions, Jeff is.
Haah thanks!
+Jeff Schneider
- with admiration, gratitude and respect!
Very handy...
The link its Broken!
Do you play on a C melody sax?
how do you build the line for a dominant 7th
+marcst1231 Great question. You could think of it as 13 b7 9 11 13 or for C7: A Bb D F A
Jeff,canyou please write it on sax notes,sothat I can practice it...Thank you so much.God Bless...
Jeff can we also think about it in the form of the relative major? As in if you think of Fmaj7 instead of Dmin7 you get E F A C E
Very nice! I do however have the need to confess that I play your licks on my guitar.
All jokes aside, thank you very much!!
that's awesome! glad you're busting this stuff out on your guitar.
Why do use an example that with the alto (that you are playing) is in key of C# which requires 7 sharps, probably the hardest scale to learn? Although the lick may be “easy”, putting it in 7 sharps makes it intimidating!

he ended the opening lick with the licccccccccc
I don't see the logic in this approach ?
On CMaj you start on the 7th and on Dmin you start on th 9th ?
+Mikael Andersson Good to know that I'm not alone !
Because E is the 9 of Dmin and that was the starting note of the lick.
But B is the 7 of Cmaj
Noah Pettibon Duh !
because Dmin is the relative minor of f major. so he's playing the notes you would play of the chord was Fmaj7. but it's just the relative minor chord so it works there too. don't think of it as starting on the 9th of the minor chord, but the major 7th of the relative major. so in terms of Fmaj7 (or Dmin, same key), he uses E (maj7) F (root) A (3rd) c (5th) E (root). make sense? I can try to explain better if it doesn't make sense
feels like song "i can't get started"
+Denis Ivanov YES! I was thinking that, too, Denis. Thanks for the comment!
Also the beginning of "getting sentimental over you"...
On a daily!
Yey , remember me when you'll be famous :)

Hey guys, Jeff Shneider here
Nice videos good stuff.... only advise would be to play more.... talk less. Would be useful to hear a simple rhythm section behind you... to show how the "licks" can be used in the real world situation with a band.
+Joseph Miller Thanks for the feedback, Joe.
