Thanks Bob!

As a clarinet, this helps a lot too!

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

That's great Aidan!

[@sockthesock410]

This is helpful for someone working their roots in jazz, it is also worth noting for those same people that this specific excersize puts the scale in thirds, and when a new jazz imrpov player learns how to solo with triplets instead of sixteenths, it can be hard to break out of to play faster. Just wanted to add some input!

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

I feel like you explained the same thing twice? The second part of the video was about verbatim to the first. A little confused

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

I think that may be because the RUclips Short videos auto repeat, a bit like on instagram, so I think it just did that.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

@@OnlineSaxAcademy how did I not notice that haha

[@nataullmann5908]

You could make your videos running in a slower way, because we would help together, especially in the third execution of the pentatonic scale

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Nata, yes this is something I’m thinking about. These videos are known as ‘RUclips shorts’ and RUclips like them to be around 30 seconds (max 1 minute). Check my longer form content on the channel for slower and more detailed explanations of concepts.

[@je6874]

What’s a ‘chromatic passing note’?

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

It’s a note that isn’t in the scale of the key your playing in, usually 1 semitone above or below

[@Mondaz3]

Can somebody explain to me why a g is different on a saxophone than a guitar

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Sure, a lot of woodwind and brass instruments are transposed, for alto sax what we call G sounds like a concert Bb

[@Mondaz3]

@@OnlineSaxAcademy thanks I hate it

[@thomasschneider1785]

How can you tell what key your in with the cords showing

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

If you know what the notes are that make up each individual chord that will help you a lot to work out what overall key you may be in at a particular point in the song. But it often depends on the context and style of song (is it pop/jazz/blues ect) sorry there isn’t really a simple answer to this.

[@James-yy2wl]

Why does your alto look so big lmao. Small man or giant sax?

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Haha, I think it’s the lens on the camera that gives that effect.
