I love Jaime when you try to sound bad, you can't because your used to sounding so good😂. Your internal sense of harmony still comes through, even when your intentionally trying to sound bad. I hope one day I can internalize a smidgen of your flavor. Gosh you sound epic.
Jamie, I thank you so much for that exercise. I realized that there's a full version of it in the "Improvisation mastery essentials" that I bought some time ago, so I practiced it again. And, oh boy, I don't know how long it's going to stick with me but it made a ton of difference. Still with the same 5 notes !
@GetYourSaxTogether Another insightful lesson Mr Anderson ! The “center of gravity” and “every note is *not equal” are important concepts indeed! I am looking forward to rejoining your amazing Inner Circle after I finish my conducting tour. Thank you again for your artistry and inspiration. Dr D
I improvise all the time. I can’t stop. You could put sheet music to “Mary Had a Little Lamb” in front of me and I’d take off on it. I’ve been puzzled that many teachers emphasize the pentatonic scales when teaching improvisation, because I never think of the pentatonic scale. I always hear the chord changes and follow them. Maybe because I’ve played enough guitar and piano, I know chord structure and chord progressions in the American songbook. From this video, I now get the idea why teachers use pentatonic scales to introduce improvisation. Staying in a pentatonic scale lands you automatically on notes that just fit into the I-IV-V chords that normally go together without having to adjust to the chord changes. Much like playing a harmonica.
i play tenor sax, but i can not improvise even if it would save my life. Even am unable to play a simple song after 7 months of lessons. guess that i am just too stupid to play the sax.
Very Good Jamie !! I understand the idea of using the root as the anchor and going up and down the scale , but the problem I am having is the rhythm. Are you improvising the rhythm on the spot or in otherwords can you play the exact same rhythm if asked to repeat it ? If so the you could practice the rhythm until you get the feel of the music. Please explain Thank you
Jamie --I did not know about the improvising course but I review the content and I think this is what I need. I will purchase your course today. Thanks

I'd say Jamie is certainly the best sax teacher I've seen on the internet.
Would love to see him performing
When are you coming to Sydney?
Thanks so much! That would be awesome
