Dear Sir. I'm Manjula from Sri Lanka. I refer your all alto saxophone lessons. You're great teacher for me. Your lessons are very helpful to me improve my saxophone playing. I'm a beginner for Alto Saxophone. I wish you all the best.I bless you in my way. LORD BUDDHA BLESS YOU. Thanking you. Manjula Ratnayake. (Your student)
Hi Manjula, it's great to meet you! and wonderful to know you consider yourself a student of mine. :) I'm very glad my lessons are helpful to you. If there are any specific things you need help on please let me know in a comment and i will see if i can add a lesson to the list of videos i intend to make for this channel. Best wishes! Paul
Hi Paul love the video series on Funky licks ...as a fellow alto sax player ,can I ask do you plat a Beechler mouthpiece Which one and what tip opening .
Dirk Jäger Hey thanks so much for pointing that out mate. I must have copied something over and missed that correction. Well spotted, and thanks for the feedback. Yes its definately in E for Tenor sax. :)
Hi Jerome, thanks for the comment. :) Really glad you like the lick. For the melodic minor scales i practiced them in the same way i have my major scales, a lot of different patterns and also building up sped switching between keys to get my recall of each scale quicker. Also worth mentioning in case i didn't mention it in the video, when i refer to the melodic minor i mean the "Jazz melodic minor" as apposed to the classical. The classical is the same as the Jazz on the way up but the classical uses a "natural minor" or aeolian minor scale to descend. That makes it one step simpler. I'll have some videos going up over the next few months on how to develop fluency on scales for improvising etc so that might be some extra insight too. All the best, thanks for watching AND for subscribing! :D
+kenneth ward Hi Kenneth. I thought you might like this one! :D yes im using the octave key whenever im above middle C#. The false fingering bits, in my jam at the end (flapping between two sounds of the same note) is a technique ill do i video on sometime. Give it a try with playing A and add the 3 fingers on the right hand (leace the G key open) and back off again.
Paul Haywood okay, will do my friend. And yes, i loved that groove brother. Man I've been using your techniques with my church band and they are impressed with my upgrade and sounds. Thanks a lot my friend. Your videos are not in vain. They work. Hahahaha, you the best

Hi Paul Great Stuff!! Would have expected concert D- would be an E- for the tenor?!? Please explain if it's A- as mentioned on your slide....;-)

Great lick, trying to figure out what you do to use the melodic minor so well. 🤷
