Great idea! Creating your own lick requires a different skill than imitating from a recording or sight reading one. Writing is kind of like reverse sight reading. It will improve your understanding, your sight reading and improvisation skills. Another great Paddock teaching innovation!!
Agreed. I have been entering lines in MuseScore for a couple of years. I don’t transpose them on paper, only in my head. Also, I do variations away from the written line to strengthen the mental approach.
the most encouraging point from this vid is that you point the starting point for beginners with this method and transpose the method to pro level. It gives an idea how to evolve it throughout the learning efforts. Thanks a lot!
I’ve used the book “Saxophone Technique” by Danny Wilensky. In one of chapters he provides 42 template exercises. He writes that if you apply this to all major, minor, diminished, whole tone and blues there are over 2000 combinations!!! Thanks for your video here. Enjoyed it
Moving through all the keys is what I think increases musicianship most effectively. I do this same diatonic pattern in all twelve keys on major, harmonic and “jazz minor.” This covers all the prevalent and relevant harmonies used. The reason the Ferling Etudes and Rubank Selected Studies move through all major and minor keys is the same reason Bach wrote the Well-Tempered Clavier, way back then. Great videos, Scott!
Been working on Oliver Nelson's book, Patterns for Improvisation for years. More recently been playing out of Greg Fishman's book, Hip Licks for Saxophone. Nice progression from elementary to more advanced. Good warm-up before getting into more finger-busting, mind bending material - much of which I develop myself while sitting at the keyboard. Always learning.

That sounds like enough to practice for a lifetime (or 2) 😂🤣

Great dig. Nice work sir
Thanks, Scott, once again! I'm just about to (finally!) join your sax school! Yay!
Looking forward to having you onboard!
What a super idea, Scott! And so simple. I am going to try this for sure. Thanks!🎷🎵🎶😎
👍👍

Hey Vincent! Sounds like you've got a solid routine.
@@ScottPaddock Thanks. I just need 10,000 hours of solid practice now. ;-) Great videos, by the way.
Hi Scott, my favorite technique is of course your chop shop series and I use "sax scales chords & solos" by Woody Herman.
Glen
Awesome!
I enjoy your videos, Scott. What is the brand of your harness? I have a Protec that works well with my tenor but not my alto. Thanks in advance.
Hey Matt, thanks! I built my harness from 2 others. So it's not something you can buy in a store.
@@ScottPaddock Well done. I may have to look into that further.
Thank you
Very good pattern ideas 👍
👍👍👍
I like the Rubank Advanced Method.. two volumes, all keys with relative minors
Rubank is a staple in the music world.
The best place to learn lick
I like this Scott, going to work on this exercise! 👍 Thanks!
Sir i want to know tongue technique
How do you do to get that sweet melodic sound almost like a mix of a trumpet in the sax. My sound is shitty
Hey Matt, I've done a few tutorials on tone. Check them out! It's all about how you put your air through the sax.
Amazing sir.. when you play I feel amazing sound. Please your horn name and mouth piece and Reed please
Thank you! Everything is listed in the video description
Thank you Scott.. I have not played for 1 month due to Covid19.. How can I be back to my potential because I think I lost so much level..
Start practicing again and it will come back in no time! If you want some structure, check out my Sax School
@@ScottPaddock thank you sir Scott.. Ill invest on your sax school..

Wow! It's harder than it looks! LOL
In the beginning, yes! but the more you do it the easier it will get and the more you will understand how patterns go together.
Could ypu speak a bit slowly Scot? Pls.
That is me speaking slowly! 😂🤣😅 but I'll try and slow it down a little more. That has always been a problem for me.
