    I am inspired! I have a granddaughter that is playing trumpet in middle school band class. I was telling her this past weekend about pentatonic scale and chord tones. This was all new to her . I told her would like to come to her home about twice a w 11:46 eek so she and I could practice together and she said I have a friend who plays saxophone, so she is very receptive to my offer. This has given me the very thing to start our practice sessions with. Thanks for the video. (Bringing Lynden to Rual Texas).😊

    Thank you Lynden for another great tutorial. Your phrasing is really nice even when you were going up and down the scales with the dynamic changes and tonguing. It will be great if you can do a video on this, thanks again.

    You are an amazing teacher! Shame it’s late, as so want to go and play my sax right now. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow as have been feeling a little flat about my playing the last couple of days. Do you have any advice as to what is the best thing to get to tune your sax to? Thanks.

      I’m lucky to have a piano here so I tune my sax to that, and you could get a concert C note from RUclips if you search for it and adjust your sax. Does that help?

    Hi Lynden. I am a newcomer - both as a subscriber and a member. I am 78, living in Norway, started playing sax 4-5 years ago. I am very much inspired by this video and also by the video about improvising over Greensleeves. But I have a couple of questions regarding both of them: I believe that both the apps and the backing track in the Greensleves video are in Concert Key. So how do I relate to them with my Tenor in Bb? When written C, I play D - When written Am, I play Bm? Or?? And I wish there was a link to contact you, but I do not see it, therefore writing as a comment here. Hoping for an answer very soon. Thank you. Cheers. Hans Joergen Rasmussen.

      They all have different genres and pre loaded tracks, plus there are different musicians on each one and that offers you hundreds of new licks by great sax players. Download them all, they’re just fantastic 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

      I’m working on a big project for a membership website. The challenge is I work full time teaching private lessons and I’m fully booked, I’m running this channel too and making the time is difficult. I do offer a membership plan on my “buy me a coffee” which offers some cool stuff for a monthly subscription though and I’d be very grateful if you would like to join 🤝🤝👍👍🎷🎷

    hey lynden i like your vids, but what about approaching playing 'quotes' when improvising, i can quote 3--4 different sniperts of tunes that i can remember because i have played them over and over, you have a good way of explaining things but other people i watched is far too technical i get lost, keep up good work

    The hard part is to sound consonant, that is to play mostly chord tones on the downbeat. Maybe 80 % . Less than 50% sounds like you are "out", dissonant.
