Scott you have a gift to teach. I have looked at countless online tutorials over the last few years. I have found no one that comes close to being as easy to understand as you. I have subscribed and look forward to following you. By the way I love your compact sound. I would be interested to know the setup.
Thanks Ronnie! From what I have found, a lot of teachers want to show the students how much information they know so they drown them in things that aren't important to the subject. I personally like to break it down into the most simple steps that make the information very easily digestible! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Absolutely the same feelings! Thank you very much Scott!
I’ve been looking at improvisation videos for a least a year and getting very confused. This one of yours sums it up in one easy to understand session. Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, most people try to make it really difficult. I try to make it really easy :-)
Excellent to see the relationship between a scale and a chord for improvisation. Thanks Scott
👍
Scott is a gifted teacher, I have learned so much.
brilliantly clear! You definitely have a gift for teaching.
Thanks Gustavo!
I've been playing for 50 years but never studied theory. Scott is so easy to understand, as he builds on the basics and de-mystifies a lot that I've asked other players about, but no one ever either took the time or could easily explain it like Scott does.
Can't wait to join his Sax School!
Thank You, Scott.
Who’s here and doesn’t even play the Sax but the knowledge carries over to other instruments 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I am really happy that i have found you on you tube after watching so many online tutorials, you are always straight to the point and do not go into bothering people with the stuff that is not related to the subject, you are amazing, definitely great teaching gift and wonderful skills and style when playing, keep doing what you are doing, you are great at it
You couldn’t have explained it better! I always wondered what those 7’s mean. But now I know because of you! Thanks!
Thanks! I'm uploading a video right now about soloing over the Blues Progression which uses some of these concepts. Check it out.
Wow phenomenal lesson. This is my first time seeing you. I was searching for a teacher and I saw you with that hat on. I said to myself, this guy looks like he can play. Oh boy, was I ever right. You are an awesome teacher as well. I subscribed and hit the thumbs up button. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Finally!!! I'm struggling with improvisation for so long. THANK YOU so much for this great and easy approach.
This cleared up a lot! I've memorized Ionian, Mixolydian and Dorian scales, but you really helped me see how work the chords. Good stuff explained in layman's terms!
been playin' sax for three years, mainly going along with the music score with orchestra, got my basics on track but then my teacher says, I should explore into Saxophone, then I found you, awesome video, subscribed and notifications ON, your teaching very much reminds me of my first instructor, I've learn a lot from your videos, even though some are revisions, but they're great ! Thank you very much !
Thanks, Mr Paddock. Very interesting and useful information.
This is classic, you so good in teaching. The flow is excellent. great job
Finally...the language...the breakdown...the explanation...literally crying tears of joy...haven't watched the whole videos but i assure you imma try this when i open my sax case...will keep you posted...keep making vids and i did subscribe...thanks...very much...very helpful...
Thanks Alan! Glad I helped you crack the code :-)
This is the first time I've understood how to read those. Thanks!
Scott you are so clear and you give your lessons in "a laymen sort of way, when i watch & listen to other tutorials on here i switch off after 2 minutes but listen to the end of yours, so precise and easy to follow.
Thanks Peter! You should check out my new sax school that I am launching in October. Here's the website link for some info on it: www.scottpaddocksaxschool.com
Awesome video, thanks for the help! I put off theory on guitar and saxophone for the best part of 20 years. Now with these great youtube videos that you can pause, rewatch and rewind it's totally changed the game for me and made the concept understandable and achievable. Thank you!
That's exactly what I needed after months memorizing each chord. So clear and enlightening! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
brilliant, right to the point and no show off or useless talks. I wish all teachers were like you
Thanks!! Yeah, I've noticed that with a lot of videos also... lots of rambling and stories without getting right to the point.
Thank you, Scott, that was most helpful!
Ive been playing sax for 5 years with only sheet music when i finally got a chance to play in my dads band so i needed to learn to improvise, and this was the perfect video! Great teacher
👍👍👍
Mine english to understand some people is not so good .. but you pronounce you teach clear. And wat you had done about chords ,symbols of chords and and improvate on scales ect. That i had mis ..that no one on internet had do do this so clear...thanks many thanks..tomorow i gonna do this wat you had teach ......And God blessed you..
You're a good teacher.
Thanks Chris!
I'm learning to improvise on Trumpet and have clean sound, and i really enjoy your lessons and tips man, usually i skip videos a lot because everyone are telling there life story in the first half an hour of the video and in the last 5 minutes they gave shallow advises and it's not even useful... I really appreciate your efforts, Thank you!
Thanks! I like to remain a mystery. haha. Yeah, I've noticed that being a big thing too with tutorial videos. There are a lot of tangents and backstories without ever getting to the point. I try to avoid that.
amazing teacher. I have learnt much. Thankyou.
I'm just beginning to play over chords and this video is right on time. I'm slowly starting to associate the chord symbols to the notes and scale. I feel that soon I'll be able to express ideas a bit more freely. Thanks for the video and keep them coming.
Glad it's helping you out! I describe improv to my students as painting. When you learn your blues scale you are painting with 1 color. As you add each scale into the mix you are adding more colors to your final product. The more colors you have at your disposal the more expressive you can be.
Scott, this is a great lesson. Clearly communicated and easy to follow along to! Thanks!
Wonderful lesson!
Thank you for this, it helps a lot!
So clear. Thanks!!
Very useful content, approachable and well tought
Very informative! Thanks, sir!
This video was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Excellent job making soloing into such a simple concept!!!
👍
You're a best teacher ever! I'm a starter to play jazz music and your vdo is easier to understand
Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Thanks! Good luck with your jazz studies :-)
Brilliant Scott. I'm a chromatic harmonica player and just starting down the jazz road. Your simple, clear route is excellent and cuts out a lot of the fog.
Rock on!
You're such a good teacher thank you so much this is the first jazz improvisation lesson that i actually understood
👍👍
Scott,
A) Your teaching skills are magnificent. These are by far the best videos I have found on TH-cam. Most of what I do is self taught, and this is a huge help with my studies.
B) You make that P. Mauriat sound absolutely incredible. Listening to you influenced me, in which I just purchased the 66 tenor, which is coming this week. They are solid horns!
I may send you a DM your way on IG in regards to Skype lessons. I have learned so much in the short amount of time I have watched your videos.
Thanks so much for all your knowledge!
From one Baltimore player to another.
Thanks a lot! You are going to love that 66 tenor. I've got one of those too. Great horn!!!
Free lesson unlocked! 😂
Hi Scott . Thanks for simplifying improvisation over chords. It seems it is essential that one should master chord spelling .
Yeah! Knowing your chords and scales is super important!
December 1 2019. I am a trumpet player.. And I love how you teach...
One of the best tutorials on improvising over changes. Thanks Scott!
Thanks Rick!
That was very interesting tutorial-I will definitely be following your class as I am a beginner looking that kind of tutorial.
Thank👍👍👍
Hey Scott really enjoying your lessons on improvising. This is my next big challenge as a developing trumpet player and I am finding your approach very informative and easy to understand. Thanks.
Sophomore in college now and this video just made something click. Thanks for your in depth lessons and thoughtful explanations.
Awesome!! Good luck in school.
Thanks alot!!! You are amazing and your explanation is perfect ♡
I'm beginner, but this is very helpful, I will watch this video over and over so I"ll understand it.
Yea, that's a good starting point. Also, Aebersold Vol. 42 - Blues in All Keys would be a great companion for this one. Thanks!
Extremely helpful.
Makes this much more understandable than the book I've been trying to learn from. Really helpful! 👍🏻
👍👍
Thanks a lot Jef, this is exactly the video I was expecting. 1 month ago, you promised to do it, done it!!! Once again thanks for your very helpful advices, you are definitely a great teacher. Please keep sharing with us your priceless experience. See you soon for the next tuto we look forward. Cheers.
It took about a month to figure out how to teach it in a video :-). Glad you enjoyed it! Should have my next one up around Sunday.,
Sorry, I called you Jef...Scott.;-) If I can suggest another very useful tuto, it might be "how to organize1h session" applying all your videos and basis rules...think to this because this what I m trying to do everydays, not so obvious...
Watch you up next Sunday! cheers!
Well explained, Scott! Thanks for the tutorial!
👍👍👍
This is awesome. !!
Cool really GREAT lesson...Thanks for more insights sharing your talents you have brought to light through your hard work...i thank God for you...Great job Scott...
My pleasure!
thanks Scott, I did hit the subcribe button after watching this video
Thank you for this tutorial, great way to practice simply and effectively.
👍👍
agree with r. Scott, you are very good teacher, and I like your answer to r. Once I started my lessons with a teacher who not only wanted to show me how wise she was, but also how fast she could play... hopeless. In a fact I knew all this stuff you are talking about, but I couldn't figure it out how to practice it, how to couple my theory with evrery day practicing. Now I have some goals for the rest of the summer. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Glad you're liking the videos. 😊😊😊
Best video on this subject. You actually spoke in english for us beginners to understand
Thanks!
Thanks Scott. I feel like I can actually do this now. Your a great teacher!!

hi great Scott! thanks very helpful introduction for my trumpet game.

It’s all starting to make sense - another brilliant video. Would be useful to have the Bb equivalent notes listed also, but thats probably being greedy.Many thanks.
You have the Quintessential sound of the Alto Sax.

Thanks Vito! If you're trying to learn jazz, you should check out my new sax school www.scottpaddocksaxschool.com - I've got step by step courses that will help you out.
Nice explanation Scott. Well done.

I like your sound and energy. I go to the major pentatonic when I teach rather than mix mode. But it all goes to the same place K
Thanks!
