    I get messages all the time from people saying they're starting to understand the bebop style and linear improvisation, but really want to learn how to get that "modern" and "out" sound. Do you just play random stuff and hope for the best?? (...no)
    In this video I'll show you how to sound "out" WITHOUT actually playing outside of the changes! You can take simple things you already know and apply my simple 3-step process to them to create really cool-sounding lines.

    If only my old time saxophone instructor back in 1955 taught me this technique. It is with me now. Keep up the terrific work passing it on.

    I'm a guitar player, and I fully endorse this lesson enthusiastically. If you want to play jazz, you should listen to it. Even better, listen and try to understand the structures.
    Thank you very much for a most instructive lesson. SUBBED

  • @99jdave99
    @99jdave99 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    good stuff, a fun exercise too! My "typical" method that I use to "go out" is playing atypical arpeggiated 7th chords built on stuff a major second or third away (usually thinking in dominant or major 7ths). Stuff like an Emaj7th, Ab7, or Dmaj7 on a C7 chord; a bit cumbersome though, so I'll definitely be thinking of your method down the line too, thanks :)

    • @DavePollack
      @DavePollack  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Much appreciated! I’ve done a bunch of videos on actually going outside of the chords and creating harmonic tension, but I wanted to do one using no outside notes at all. You can then combine this with harmonic devices to create REALLY out stuff!

    hi dave i have a question that's kind of unrelated to the video but anyway: i'm just starting out on the saxophone but at the moment, i'm spending most of my week in an apartment, where the saxophone is too loud to be played. Do you have any suggestions about this issue? I can actually play the instrument only 3 days a week and spend the other 4 just practicing fingerings without the neck on.

    • @lukasalihein
      @lukasalihein ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's worth finding a place you can play - even if there's a small commute involved. Actually, a small commute can help you focus too, so it's really worth figuring out what your options are outside of just your apartment.
