Only ever read sheet music in my whole life, Just passed Trinity college exam Distiction on Clarinet and merit Grade 4 Alto, just starting the Blues with my tutor. Its confusing but you give some really good tips and im doing the Blues on my Tenor Sax and its got a good sound.
Just re-visited your Blues lesson, because one wants to progress. Funny how I always end up listening to your advise first before visiting other channels.🙂
Thank you so much “Mister get your SAX together” . What a THRILL. What an extreme helpful TUTORIAL. Now putting all your advices and recommendations into practice. Best wishes from Pamplona / Spain.
Each of your lessons is not just “A Gift”.... a trove of gifts is more descriptive... and your logical organization of your collection of lessons allows easy revisit of material that has vaporized from my brain. Thx for another superb lesson, the material of which any sax player should know.
I have already made a comment on here but i'd just like to add that I love the licks and the way you have adapted them to the different styles of music. Have learned alot from this, thankyou.
One blues that I was rehearsing with fellow musicians today was Mr PC, and despite its simplicity, it is rather quite unique. You have a new subscriber here, and what do you think about Mr PC? It would be great to hear your views and what to consider when playing tenor with blues. I decided to listen A LOT to Noble "Thin Man" Watts to hear what he does to blues.
@@GetYourSaxTogether after binging on some more of your videos, I’ve discovered a whole more on blues. I’ve a few gigs this week and your videos are certainly helping me get mentally and dextrously prepared for them. Thank you once again and looking forward to applying some of your ideas in future. Take care and stay safe. 😊
Aw, thanks Niki. You've already got much of this stuff first hand of course. Here's to the end of the lockdown and getting you back in the studio! J:-) xxx
Hey Jamie!!, I find this lesson to be your best one!!, I have been searching through the Internet for this kind of specific high quality blues advice, this is the holy grial of blues teaching in half an hour, this was already a masterclass thanks!!!
Hi Jamie. Hope you enjoyed the coffees I bought for you! Your lessons are worth many more coffees. Thanks for your superb teaching. I am working on your handout with the 5 different licks. Taking the key of 'F' I note that you use the Fm blues scale (which is in the key of Ab) and the FMaj blues scale. Why would you not use the Dm blues scale which is the natural minor of "F"? I always have difficulty in selecting whether to use the maj or minor version. Help please.
Hello Jamie, my uncle Greg from Greg's Bass Shed sent me the link to your channel as I play saxophone and I have so far found it really useful! I have recently been doing some jazz/blues and improvisation stuff so I have found your improv section particularly helpful and I really enjoy it! Thank you very much!
Duke Ellingtons and Johnny Hodges version of Basin Street Blues on the album Back to Back is a Favorite. In fact the whole album is worth checking out, jazz blues at it´s best! Good content, keep it up!
Hello from France, Dear Jamie, this video is a huge lesson for me ! This will be my program for the next holidays, I’ll have to work a lot ! Thank you for the explanations (even if for me, they are sometimes auite compliment because I’m French... but I have a sufficient level of solfège to follow, though!) Best regards, from Alsace, eastern France Marie-Hélène
Haha I just started jamming on a blues track and I remembered you said to play about with the major and minor 3rd. I was too lazy to open the video again and check if I was doing it right but guessed it probably had something to do with playing the changes. I opened your video again to check and I had stolen your opening lick 😂
Excellent Jamie, I asked many times other prof to show how to play same licks in different music style without any success, now it s done, thanks!. I was wondering if it was possible to play these 5 licks within bossa nova style, salsa or other styles..I guess yes. I m really happy to have found your channel. Right now, I m taking lessons with a prof but be sure after that, I will subscribe in your masterclass. Good luck !
Well there is enough there to keep me going for a while ... I love playing the blues ... and like you say it works well over blues and soul & pop guitar bands great stuff. I will be practicing later. ... great stuff as always. And I will definitely checking out the master class. Just need a quiet hour on bank holiday Monday. Thanks as always : Martin
Hi Beverley. Jazz is a bit of bigger topic and I'm still reeling from editing that blues one tbh! lol I'm definitely gonna doing a bit more jazz stuff this year though. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)
Jazz is definitely a deep rabbit hole with a lot more theory. The blues with its serious limitations on form move quickly to phrasing as the primary focus whereas jazz you have more options for the next note. And then there’s jazz songs in a blues form, and that’s really instructive as to how you move from blues to jazz, but learning to work your way through a 12 bar blues in any key at any tempo is part of what you’d consider the larger academic jazz pedagogy
Great lesson Jamie! How come there’s only 4.500 subscribers to your channel? Awesome material, great PDFs and backtracks! Thanks for your excellent job! Looking forward for your next video!
Thanks Eduardo! The subs are gradually building up and I've only been going for a year and a half so these things take time I guess. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)
What in Tarnation! brilliantly explained! Side note: About a mile, just a bit, under two kilometers, from where I live, in New Orleans, is a place called Congo Square, it is the spot where it is believed, that the "Mississippi Delta" Blues was birthed.( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Square) However, I believe, Jamey traces its real origin, earlier to West Africa, which makes sense; to me. Never knew. You learn something new everyday! This video is a gem! I will repeatedly watch this; good job, so well done!!!! 🎶 yup, I agree with Mr. Beckett's poetry, below this comment, "best saxophone channel on TH-cam by a country mile" (that's ~ two kilometers! Hm, doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? well....by quite a bit! Darn tootin'! [that is ~Heavens to Betsy! as ya'll might say ], I dunno, it's great though! ). Anyway, thank you brother from another mother!
Jamie these videos are just amazing. Loved this one with all the background - great for understanding even if I'm miles off playing it! The demo at the end with the licks was just extraordinary - such a different sound and yet with exactly the same notes! Thanks so much for all your time working at these
Another awesome vid. Wife is playing carpenters and I just heard a solo I’ve never heard before sounds like an alto on “rainy days and Mondays “ very short just incase you ever fancy it or run out of ideas for new tutorials lol. Keep tootin brother. BattleKAT
I am watching the video every day again, practicing the solos from the different approaches, can you tell from your experience which keys are most used when playing the blues? We need to learn it in all 12.keys, but it is useful to know which keys to prioritize
Hi Nestor - If you're playing in a guitar led blues band they play in E, A and D a lot, so that's F#, B and E for tenor, or C#, F# and B for alto. Yeh, I know! Otherwise, learn D, G, C F first. J:-)
''''''thank you for wonderful lessons!!!!! Perfect! when I would a free lesson? I'm live in Brazil. And i m not have a great song in my sax tenor ; Who i can play a lessons?
Very good, how do I sign up for music lessons? I've watched you for a while and seem to comprehend your teaching style. I love your enthusiasm and love for music; it's very inspirational and encouraging You are truly a gift from God.
What are you recommendations for purchasing a hard rubber jazz mouthpiece and which one do you recommend getting for soprano saxophone and what tip opening?
Hey Jamie, cool video that inspired me for a topic in my book. The book is called 'Music Theory+' and is a very new, and might I say, revolutionary take on existing music theory; can I approach you in about 3 months when my book is finished and I want to get some feedback from people like you? Anyway, thank you very much! Hans J.C. Bakker
Hi Jamie, so please clarify, are the scales interchangeable between the minor key and relavite major. I'm referring to the pdf attached. for example, can tge d blues scale be used for a d major tune and f major, which is the delative of d minor, and hence can it be used for all 3 keys, or am I all mixed up😂😅
What’s a good price range for a fairly corroded looking 1968 Selmer Director alto sax at a pawnshop? It’s in a gray plastic case and seems to have most of the pieces
My Sherlock skills are telling me you’re a guitarist getting rid of an old sax you found?! 🤣 Actually, I don’t know how much tbh. It might be better to get it fully serviced then sell it privately.
@@GetYourSaxTogether Nope, I really AM thinking of taking up sax. It looks like such fun! As with my guitars, I like old instruments. That 74 Fender maple neck was my first guitar, and came from a pawn shop. For me, the whole vibe is just cooler with an old vintage instument than a new one. I was advised to find a Selmer student model on eBay, but I have friends at pawn shops as well. I would much rather own a top quality old horn from a pawnbroker or eBay than a shiny new low quality horn with no mojo. :)
@@fenderstratguy right, cool. You’ll pay a LOT for a second hand Selmer and they are very desirable but you can get Conn’s for less and they are awesome.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I will probably get as good a deal as anyone on here because I’ve brought a lot of customers into my local pawnshop. I just like helping people find good used guitars. Naturally they give me super prices.
Please clarify: You say you can use the Cm blues scale and the Am blues scale, except start on the C. But these scales do not share the same notes. What am I missing? And when you say, the notes of major scale are same as minor blues scale but DOWN a minor third. Your example shows Am blues scale and C major blues scale. Isn't that going UP a minor third? (I'm told I'm quite smart, but not here, obviously.)
Can you share some tine stamps (0:00) for those comments please? Thanks. The a MINOR blues scale has the same notes as the C MAJOR blues scale, and the relative minor is always a minor third DOWN from the major. Hope I didn’t say a “typo” on the lesson?! Thanks.
@@GetYourSaxTogether At 13:22 you say, "the major version of the blues scale is the same notes as the minor blues scale but down a minor third." The corresponding graphic shows the C Major blues scale above the A Minor blues scale. But it looks like C is up a minor third from A, not down. So that confused me. I was led to believe that minor blues scales are related. The Cm blues scale is related to the Am blues scale. Based on the 6th interval. So, once i know the relative I can also play that scale. In the example above, Am is the 6th interval from C. So on a C blues I can use the Am blues, starting on the C. What confuses me is both of these blues scales have very different notes.
@@pierrerabot7438 yeh, sorry, that was a mistake. I should have said the you go down a minor third from the major blues scale to get the minor, and vice verse. Well spotted, and thanks for pointing that out. 👍🏻
@@pierrerabot7438 Well, if the song is in C minor you can only really use the C minor blues scale. If the song is in C major you could use an A minor blues scale starting on C, OR, you could throw in a C minor blues scale as well if you use it sparingly.

@@GetYourSaxTogether I will probably get as good a deal as anyone on here because I’ve brought a lot of customers into my local pawnshop. I just like helping people find good used guitars. Naturally they give me super prices.
Great! What number of your mouthpiece?
9 or so.
Please clarify: You say you can use the Cm blues scale and the Am blues scale, except start on the C. But these scales do not share the same notes. What am I missing? And when you say, the notes of major scale are same as minor blues scale but DOWN a minor third. Your example shows Am blues scale and C major blues scale. Isn't that going UP a minor third? (I'm told I'm quite smart, but not here, obviously.)
Can you share some tine stamps (0:00) for those comments please? Thanks. The a MINOR blues scale has the same notes as the C MAJOR blues scale, and the relative minor is always a minor third DOWN from the major. Hope I didn’t say a “typo” on the lesson?! Thanks.
@@GetYourSaxTogether At 13:22 you say, "the major version of the blues scale is the same notes as the minor blues scale but down a minor third." The corresponding graphic shows the C Major blues scale above the A Minor blues scale. But it looks like C is up a minor third from A, not down. So that confused me.
I was led to believe that minor blues scales are related. The Cm blues scale is related to the Am blues scale. Based on the 6th interval. So, once i know the relative I can also play that scale. In the example above, Am is the 6th interval from C. So on a C blues I can use the Am blues, starting on the C. What confuses me is both of these blues scales have very different notes.
@@pierrerabot7438 yeh, sorry, that was a mistake. I should have said the you go down a minor third from the major blues scale to get the minor, and vice verse. Well spotted, and thanks for pointing that out. 👍🏻
@@GetYourSaxTogether So I'm playing a Cm blues scale, I can also play an Am blues scale, but start on the C of that scale. C D Eb E G A
@@pierrerabot7438 Well, if the song is in C minor you can only really use the C minor blues scale. If the song is in C major you could use an A minor blues scale starting on C, OR, you could throw in a C minor blues scale as well if you use it sparingly.
