Thank you for your lovely feedback. Please let me know if you have any areas you would like me to focus on. I really appreciate hearing that these exercises are useful.

Thank you for your feedback. If you have any ideas for more videos that could help, please let me know.

Cheers 👍🏼

If you check out the previous upload. It is for Alto Sax 👍🏼

@@Si-musical-journey oh shot...i didn't realize I already watched that video lol...thanks for reminding me

Thank you David for letting me know that you find it useful and enjoyable. It makes me want to continue creating content and also give me valuable feedback to know what is working. Much appreciated, Simon

Thankyou 👍🏼

Thankyou so much 🙏

Thank you so much for playing it. I'm so happy that my music is helping you.

Thanks so much. Head to my patreon page for free download of pdf and backing track if you would like them. Link is in the description.

Thanks so much. It's fun to make and I really like to hear that you are enjoying it.

You can download from my patreon page. The link is on my home page or in the description of the video. It is a small cost of 3 usd. Please let me know if I can answer any more questions.

Yes, really correct repetition is good. I need to balance RUclips videos with keeping a challenge but also being reasonable. When I teach or work on something difficult, I slow down and work on accuracy first as a foundation, then repetition while slowly increasing speed after that. 👍

Yes it is, I like to make the last phrase more difficult to give a higher challenge. It can be useful to freeze the video and slowly repeat each phrase , to develop the muscle memory to enable faster playing. I hope you are finding these videos helpful. Please let me know if you have any constructive feedback to help me understand how to keep improving these resources. Another idea is to slow the video down with the RUclips controls. This can allow more solid repetition.

@@Si-musical-journey Good idea to slow down clip. It sure takes a lot of patience and repetition. You have many lessons for me at my current level, beginner-intermediate. Thanks again.

Thank you, I will try to do another 7 phrase challenge soon. They are fun to make.

Thankyou.

@@Si-musical-journey You are most welcome!

I'm very happy that it is useful for you.

Thankyou so much for your kind words.

Thankyou so much for your kind comment.

Wonderful. Thank you for using this and letting me know it is useful. 😊. It makes me want to create more.

Thank you, I am very happy to know it is helping.

The tearjerking sounds of a wind blown stick expressing my soul 🙌 (is that too deep?)

Hi, I'm so happy you are finding these exercises helpful. I add the backing track at the end of each video so it can be used to just play/improvise. You can use the notes/rhythms from the exercises and try changing parts of them. I have started putting the A4 pdf's and backing tracks on "Patreon" for downloading to make this easier. Please let me know if you have any more questions? ( Or ideas that I could create material to try to answer any question you have)

Hi, That is a great question :-) Now for the answer:-0, When I teaching my students in a lesson, this is much easier as we can have a musical conversation with our instruments, normally jamming over a backing track and taking turns to play. ( I will try to make some video's providing material/exercises that can help with this) There are so many ways to do this, which is what makes it interesting. One way is to break out elements from the question, you can match parts of what they do within of the framework of the chord changes as you move through the chord progression; 1) If they play a 2 bar phrase then you could reply with a 2 bar phrase. (4 bar phrase, reply with a 4 bar phrase) 2) if they play fast with lots of notes then you could either come back at them with a challenge and lots of notes or contrast with less notes. 3)If they play a particular rhythm then you could play the rhythm back to them, but with different notes. 4) If they play high then you could play high in reply. (or low and low), or do the opposite of what they do to create contrast. The way I'm thinking at the moment is that you take elements of what they do and send it back to them so that then they can react and go back and forth between you in the same way people have a conversation. It can be nice when there is a common thread linking both players together. Does that help? or can you provide more questions? Kind regards Simon

@@Si-musical-journey Thank you so much for your amazing explanation!!!

Thank you. I love hearing from comments that it is useful, I use these materials with my students and it is fun to create new material to help. 🙏

Thank you, this is different to how I normally create my material. It gives a different flavour, especially to the other instruments, though it took a while to transcribe my playing. It's as close as I can get without being too complicated.

Thank you for your kind comments, please let me know if you have any ideas about other material I can post to help.

Thankyou so much for your feedback, I am so happy to help with these resources

Thank you for your good feedback. My brain is working on this issue 😁. I am working towards creating a Web site to host these resources.

Thank you for your nice feedback.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Do you have any ideas for more material that I can create that would be useful for you? I'm always searching for inspiration 😁

That you so much

Thank you :-) I will work my way around more keys for the pentatonic phrases in the future, it is a nice open scale shape to use.

Thank you for your feedback. I will do more phrases in 12 key's, it just takes a while to put together inbetween my teaching my students. I'm torn between which to to next. Another 12 keys or Blues phrases. 😁

Thank you. Please let me know if you have any ideas of material I could create to help you.
