Fantastic ! I have a bachelors degree in saxophone music performance and in all of college I never understood this as well as I do after watching this video 😮 just amazing !🎷
You are a RUclipsr that gets BETTER with age! 58 is nothing!!! You are in your prime as far as being able to teach us this stuff! It amazes me how you are one of the few (out of dozens and dozens...and dozens!) that I've been able to find that explains concepts so they are digestible, in layman's terms. You have that gift and we are grateful you do!
This video is 1000% worthy of rewatching over and over to get the concepts ingrained. Thanks for explaining to such depths and how everything relates to each other. 🎉
Well Lynden I used to hate scales but following your videos I have to say I am finding them an invaluable addition. I have a good tone and style of playing but my improvisation is improving and my ear to transcribe a piece of music is far easier after playing up and down scales
Yet again a great explanation. I was only thinking yesterday while walking the dog why are there so many Minor Scales! I did not know that you could draw from any of them in any situation on minor chords. Unless your taught this you would not know. Makes more sense now. Thanks 🙏 😊
Hello Lyden. Honestly, your students have a amazing chance to learn with you. I knew this but the time for me to think dorian until melodic minor on 251 took me a so long time. And everything you teach is done with simplicity and smile. Congrats ❤
Lynden, I always get a jolt of excitement when I see another of your videos. This one is, as always a cracker. Like others, you have transformed my experience of scales. I bought you another coffee to offer my sincere appreciation. I have two questions: You write the chord in the top C scale as C major7 (c d e f g a b) can you tell me why C major 7, when I thought natural notes in C would be C major? Secondly, I can see how these lovely scales fit into a single chord backing track. But if I were to play to a backing track in the key of say, d minor, which had different chords in the same key, can I just play the chord tones in a d minor (or blues or Harmonic etc) scale, or do I need to know the other chords in that track and play the chord tones that correspond to the chord which is being played? Thanks again.
Vic thank you for this and for the coffees, I really appreciate that. If you email me lynden@saxandhoney.com it’s a bit easier to answer you there 🤝😎🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden, I really love your tone on the tenor and I've noticed something lovely that you do that I'd like to try to emulate but can't figure out. As you play up the scales e.g. at 13:19, you do a little wiggle on the D which sounds great. Is that lipped, or is your right hand doing something on the keys (it's hidden behind the notes so I can't see). I'd love to know how to do that, and how you choose which note to put it on.
Another gem from you Lynden explained simply. Can you tell me where your speaker is placed in the room is it in another room? Reason i ask i have to have headphones on to catch exactly what i sound like. My speaker is next to me and i get a load of feed back, is this the reason for the echo? can you help please.
Another great video Lynden. Bookmarked! In fact I have bookmarked loads of your videos. More than everyone else's put together! You make it sound absolutely loooovely 😊
Thank you so much ! So Nice ! One question : do you use the phrygien mode ? ( which seems to be also a minor mode for D- ?) if yes, when do you use it . Thanks.
Hi Lynden, not sure if you got to the bottom of my last message where I asked you a couple of questions. No pressure, apologies if you are busy and were getting around to it: You write the chord in the top C scale as C major7 (c d e f g a b) can you tell me why C major 7, when I thought natural notes in C would be C major? Secondly, I can see how these lovely scales fit into a single chord backing track.

Hi Vic, I did receive your message and replied asking you to send me an email because it’s easy to go through this with you on email than here, lynden@saxandhoney.com 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Great video Lynden.Just one thing I am a bit confused about.Adding Bb to the scale from the F major scale.How does this make it a relative minor scale ?
@@lyndenblades I understand the theory behind relative minors .F being the major and Dminor being the relative minor.So you are taking the Bb out of the Major key.This is where I get confused.
Thanks
Wow thank you so much, your support is greatly appreciated 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

Hi Peter, just drop me an email please as I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking and it’s tricky to answer here lynden@saxandhoney.com ⭐️🤝😎😎🎷🎷
You have lovely tone on your tenor. May I ask, what model sax do you play?
Thank you! I have an old Selmer for most of my videos but I also use a Goldington sax and get the same kind of sound. Thank you for saying that 🎷🎷🤝🤝😎😎
Another great video Lynden. Bookmarked! In fact I have bookmarked loads of your videos. More than everyone else's put together!

Hiya, the 6th mode of any major scale gives you the relative minor, does that help?
