So brilliant. I play guitarly (poorly) and can only wish that my teacher had tried this 50 years ago. I just followed right now on guitar and it is such an eye opener. I'm going to find more short guitar licks like this. I think also maybe what could help (help me, anyway) is to challenge oneself to repeat back a snippet of melody from a vocal songs. At least for me building that vocabulary, marrying what's in the head with what's in the fingers, seems useful (now that you have me thinking of it). I just stumbled onto this from RUclips, seeing as I'm not a saxophonist - glad I did. Awesome tip - it could really change someone's relationship to their instrument and to playing with others.
I'm using what is known as' legato tonguing' or 'smooth tonguing' which is very gently touching the reed without stopping it vibrating. I use only the right side of my tongue on the left tip of the reed. It can tickle at first but gives a nice gentle articulation. Maybe I should do a video on it 🙂
I am trying to understand what you are trying to teach. I see the same notes, but you are playing them differently. I'm a beginner, and I just don't see what you want me to do.
The notes you see on screen is the G Pentatonic Scale.. What you need to do is copy the phrases that I play using those notes. If you download the tracks and answer sheets you may understand what the exercise is better. Let me know if you need more help 🙂
Sorry , but I disagree! This video is for those who may believe that they don’t have a good ear but I have been using this technique for years with great success. The level 1 tracks start with just 4 notes. The demo in the video is the level 2 exercises. Too many students wrongly believe they do not have a good ear. The ear can definitely be trained.

If you haven't go a good ear forget it! Sorry a lot of bull here.
