Scott these lessons are so great ...Thanks again. From a guitar player not a sax player but I love saxophone since I was kid. You have lots of great info and demos and the more I review your lessons the more I learn. thanks again You Rock
Thanks for this video Scott, well played and well taught. Your teaching style of breaking it down in to bite size pieces is very confidence inspiring and clear.
Great lesson for a great lick I use Cannonball a lot for my own simple, transposing exercises... even if I never quite sound the way I hope! Your break down really helped me start to work with the grace notes and scoops.
First time viewer, you earned a thumbs up and subscription. I am looking forward to checking out your old videos and your new content going forward. Good luck with the channel.
I gotta start learning some Cannonball solos. I got a book of transcriptions but his stuff seems slightly more daunting than Charlie Parker because he does so much push and pull with rhythm.
Hey Bailey! Did you try it? It feels super awkward to me to use the fork F# in this lick. I use my alternate fingerings effortlessly in most settings, but for me, it just didn't work. Coming from the D to the grace note F right into the F# produced an unwanted E most of the time (because the F is sooooo short), and then going into the G feels strange too. But, if it works for you - use it!!
I play a Barkley Brazil Kustom Pop 7, but mouthpieces all come down to what works for you. The best thing you can do is try a bunch of them and see what sounds best, and is easiest to play on for you.
sorry to ask, but how do you do to add that shine pitch to this alto sax, I have been looking for this sound for so long and traying my best I got here! World! this is so amazing!
@@ScottPaddock yes I think I am, shiny pitch is that modification you have performed to the audio recorder I you did any. I mean any audio modifications let's say reverb or delay as an example
Cool video and nice sound on the alto, but you should end the video by using the lick over a blues backing track so we can hear it in a real situation. That way the lick comes alive and we really hear its potential and get excited about it.
I just tried it again, and I hit the E almost every time I do it, and it just doesn't feel good. Also, I wanted to give an example of how the embellishments didn't work in every key. If it sounds good for you, then go for! :-)
@@ScottPaddock I'm obsessed with instrument mechanics; and *that* particular move was high on my list of technique issues, so I was intimately familiar with it. I am in no way a professional, but I did enjoy tackling that move for another situation, so I thought I'd chime in. I didn't intend to hijack your thread invasively. 😊
Sure, I'll try that, should work just fine with me. Thanks for posting.
Cannonball, my all time favorite alto player, thanks!
👍👍👍
Nice lick Scott. The numbers really helped me because I'm playing soprano. I like how you broke it into segments and played it over and over.
👍👍👍
Thanks for using the numbers Scott, they make it so much easier to transpose.

Cannonball has some challenging phrasing! He is always fun to check out.
Scott this was great could you do more of these the lakes are fantastic and also the exclamation it helps a huge amount
Hey Michael! Thanks, and yes, I will definitely do more of these. I'll try to do a couple a month.
Thank you Scott! Greatly appreciated 👍
You are a fantastic teacher! I wish I had half of your knowledge. But at 78, I still have time to learn.....Thank you.
Thanks Willy!

That's sooo cool! Thanks Scott! I'll definitely get to work on learning this!
Thanks! Have fun with it!
Nice Scott 🎶🎷 one of my favorite licks of Cannonball Adderley 🎶🎶🎷😎
Mine too! I love his style and music.
very very good, nice job scott Ksaxman
Thank you for sharing Scott🎶🎶🎶🎷✌🏽😎
A comment from the amazing Leo Wright - fantastic!
EXCELLENT... thanks for showing the notation and examples.
👍👍👍
One of my favourite players too
Love me some Cannonball!!

His rhythms are WAY WAY tougher than Charlie Parker, that's how he gets that more soulful sound.
Great video, thx Scott! Gotta love Cannonball!
Thanks!!! Agreed.
Woooowww amazing information
Thanks!
Scot thanks for showing Grace notes and inflections with the phrase for comparison...
👍
Great lick Scott.Thanks
👍👍👍
Dang I need this you know some music theory. Nice lesson. Cannonball in Seattle sent me on a mission, learn to play ? Been in the closet for years.
You can also just use the F# alternate fingering for an easier time doing the grace notes in the key of D7.

It's awesome Scott by the way which mouthpiece is good for play to saxophone plz give me answer Scott

I'm not sure what you are talking about with a "shine pitch" - Are you just talking about my sound in general, or something specific I am doing?
@@ScottPaddock yes I think I am, shiny pitch is that modification you have performed to the audio recorder I you did any. I mean any audio modifications let's say reverb or delay as an example
@@danivc9878 I record everything flat with no modifications at all, and just add about 30% small room digital reverb to give it a live feel.
hello from uruguay !!! Which is or cud be the best tone for tenor sax ?
P.mauriat 67RX influence alto sax.
ROMÂNIA LOVE maestro perfect... SUCCES MAESTRE. 👍👍💗💗💗
Cool video and nice sound on the alto, but you should end the video by using the lick over a blues backing track so we can hear it in a real situation. That way the lick comes alive and we really hear its potential and get excited about it.
Thanks!! You can hear Cannonball play it in Freddie Freeloader :-) lol. But I get what you are saying, I'll try that in future videos.
I don't understand what the numbers mean.
They are the numbered note that they are in the scale. For example if you are playing a C scale, C would be 1, D would be 2, E would be 3, etc.
@@ScottPaddock thank you for replying!!!
Could use alt f# no?
Of course you can!
Not in this case, because you are coming from the D and the F grace note is so short you don't have time to get to the F# key.
@@ScottPaddock I can do it. I take your point, if muscle memory won't support it, but I like MM challenges (I use my third finger to hit that F#) 😊
I just tried it again, and I hit the E almost every time I do it, and it just doesn't feel good. Also, I wanted to give an example of how the embellishments didn't work in every key. If it sounds good for you, then go for! :-)

To advance for me 😬
