    Very underrated method! Edgar Byars showed me this while I was at Frost. You have inspired me to work on this more often again! It really does help with memorizing chord changes, as well. It is like a super vitamin (credit to Patrick Bartley for that analogy) - something with multiple benefits!

    I'm a new jazz tenor saxophonist at my local community college.
    In high school, I never really practiced much.
    But strangely now I've been bitten by the bug. And I want to learn how to get good at this.
    It's like a never ending nagging challenge. Classical music doesn't train you for this.
    Thanks a bunch for these tutorials!

    Ciao Steve, il tuo video didattico è il migliore che c’è, il metodo è tra i più blasonati ma tu sei stato bravissimo a renderlo semplice ed efficace! 1 abbraccione

    Hi Steve… this seems very basic, but it is EXACTLY what I need!! Information like this is so helpful as I try to learn (and learn how to learn) jazz language. Thanks for this!

      Much appreciated Parker - works on a variety of tunes and is strongly recommended. Finding and adapting language that works is key 😎

    Great video, but when I tried to access your website my antivirus program blocked it, saying it was infected with some kind of HTML virus or malware...:(

    • @SaxophoneSteveKortyka
      @SaxophoneSteveKortyka  2 месяца назад

      Hey - so sorry about this! I am a mac user and wasnt able to recreate it on any of the browsers I use- is it possible that your PC might have a virus? Sometimes these things clear up in a few days so please check back or try another browser in the near future. I hate when these issues happen!

      @@SaxophoneSteveKortyka Thanks. No, my computer is clean. It's a pc, not a mac. But I know that sometimes these antivirus programs are overly sensitive. I'll try again in a couple of days...

      By the way, what it said it was infected with is called "HTML:ClearFake-C [Trj]", whatever that is...
