Hi Joel…just wanted to say thanks to you for your brilliant 9:04 tip re ‘keeping reeds in a spirit’….I put 4 good reeds into vodka about 9 months ago and am amazed that they are all still fresh to play with no deterioration…didn’t doubt you for a second 🙂…but it really does work! I have had to buy no new reeds in that time…but apart from saving money it’s great to always have good and reliable reeds to hand…thanks again!!
@@JoelPurnell Yes. It seems though if you can get together the patterns for tone and semitone separation it would cover lot of pairs. It seems quite a mental challenge though just to do alternating arps with inversions. Or is that just me?
If you practice the shapes and inversions of each across your full range so they’re locked in, then just almost imagine they are 2 chords that you can swap between at will, then it’s much more manageable to comprehend. Hearing a clear rhythm to apply them to is key, as always. 👍🏼
A is the next overtone up from middle D and is where a D will naturally ‘split’ to if there’s an issue. This is quite possibly the result of a leak on one of your pads, so I’d suggest seeking out an instrument technician first to check it’s not a problem with your horn. If there is no problem with the sax, it will most likely either be because you’re not voicing / pitching the D with your throat correctly, or you’re biting down on the mouthpiece too hard. Hope that helps! Best wishes. Joel.

No problem! 👍🏼
Great lesson! I imagine I will continue to use the C/D combo that I have been using but I’m excited to try out your other suggestions!
Thanks! 👍🏼
Great video Joel. The last one using augmented can also be thought of as two aug Triad pairs a semitone apart.
Thanks! Yes it can, or a 5th apart. Hope you’re well. Joel. 👍🏼

Wooo great sound I like all of them 😅
Thanks! Yes, they definitely all have their own unique vibe. Best wishes. Joel. 👍🏼
Is there a complete series on sax school and does it incorporate from beginner or is this intermediate. Sounds great
It’s in the pipeline, but I touch on them in my Explore Jazz course on the Miles tune ‘Eighty One’. Best wishes. Joel. 👍🏼
can you make a saxophone cover for tadow
Yoo, can someone please help. When I play D with the octave key, often it sounds like A. I don't understand whyy. /Alto sax
