HOW TO IMPROVISE OVER CHORDS

Very informative! Thanks, sir!

how do i get to know the chords of a song

show us how to play melody plus scale solo. I know how to play the Melody but i find it hard when improvising. Where to add the scales. Or the techniques in adding adlibs.. pre and post adlibs in chords and melody

Thank you so much

Scott is a gifted teacher, I have learned so much.

Great class, Scott! Subscribed. I have 2 questions: 1. which mode do you play over a SUS chord? 2. How do you the chords when the measure is split with 2 chords? I'm assuming you only play two notes from each chord (assuming 4/4 timing).

Thank you, Scott, that was most helpful!

Thanks alot!!! You are amazing and your explanation is perfect ♡

Thank, I play by ear and sight.

Extremely helpful.

How can I have lesson from you?

So clear. Thanks!!

I’ve always tried to play by ear but when I realized that I need to play the changes I realized I knew the tune but not the changes, thus back to the sheet music.

You have the Quintessential sound of the Alto Sax.

amazing teacher. I have learnt much. Thankyou.

I love the way he says finally, "that's it" like you're totally there

Thank you for this, it helps a lot!

This video was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

This is how you improvise? Waiting 6 months for it to sink in and nothing but panic. THIS, I get!!! Click! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

See, I always assumed that when you switch to a minor chord, you have to play in the natural minor scale of that chord.

Wonderful lesson!

So how did you know to play the G mixolidian over the G7 chord? This is where I'm confused with improvising

Who’s here and doesn’t even play the Sax but the knowledge carries over to other instruments 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thanks, Mr Paddock. Very interesting and useful information.

How do I identify a 4major in a scale?

thanks Scott, I did hit the subcribe button after watching this video

hey man this really really helped me out understand this concept much better and now I feel like unlocked something powerful. thank you very much!

Is it and if so when is it allowed to use the whole scale for that chord instead of the just main 4 notes

well done very easy to follow

Scott, thanks for explaining this , much appreciated. When you are going up and down the scale are you playing each not as quavers? I've tried copying how you play and all I seem to get is a high pitched squeal. Can you slow down your playing and explain how you're playing the notes. Thanks Gene

👌👌great very easier to understand

Scott, you make this so easy to understand. Question: if I'm jamming with a piano and using the piano sheet music with the chord notations above the treble clef, don't I need to transpose that chord notation. For example, if the piano sheet says C7, I'm not playing a C7 because I'm playing alto sax which is an E Flat instrument, so I'd have to transpose that C7 chord and scale? Am I right on that?

Hola scatt como estas??? Me gustaría que pusieras los substítulos en español. Gracias

So I've gotta know, as you are soloing, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about how the chord is built or do you memorize each chord/scale and it's just there in your tool box to pull from? I don't believe I could think my way through. I'd have to have it in my hands already. If that's the case, I've got a lot of memorization to do! lol

Hola Scott, soy de argentina, realmente muy bueno, easy to understand, great, ready to play!!!

Grazie Scott🍻🎷🎼🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥

Exelente parabéns 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks so much for sharing your broad knowledge ! One advice : must we learn by heart the different notes of each chord at first ? Thank you, Serge !

pro sax player-----

Bravo pour ton cours bien décortiquer

ty u

Thanks!

I'm beginner, but this is very helpful, I will watch this video over and over so I"ll understand it.

This is the first time I've understood how to read those. Thanks!

I've been playing for 50 years but never studied theory. Scott is so easy to understand, as he builds on the basics and de-mystifies a lot that I've asked other players about, but no one ever either took the time or could easily explain it like Scott does.
Can't wait to join his Sax School!
Thank You, Scott.

Scott you have a gift to teach. I have looked at countless online tutorials over the last few years. I have found no one that comes close to being as easy to understand as you. I have subscribed and look forward to following you. By the way I love your compact sound. I would be interested to know the setup.
