Scott: Just wanted to thank you for your great videos. In addition to being a top-notch musician, you're also clearly a top-notch teacher. While I'm handing out compliments, let me also say that I love the way you get straight to the point at the start of each video, explain what you're going to teach, teach it, then demonstrate it.
Wow man.. your are a monster player. How long have you been playing? Finally I know what those little notes are for. I see them on a chart for Swinging Shepard Blues. I am trying to learn that on my flute. Do you play flute? I have a suggestion for a lesson.. 'how to learn tunes'. I used to always learn tunes by listening but lately I've been working with charts. Donna Swartz suggests not doing that. I think she is right. If you learn it by listening and just use the chart as a guide and to clarify the subtle tones I think that will make the tune easier to play. I've become a slave to the chart. I saw Jazzmia Horn at a jazz fest last week. What a hoot. She and the saxman were trading licks. They were both singing and copying each other. Mahalo Bra
Thanks!! A long time :-) I play flute very very poorly! haha. How to learn tunes is defiinitely on the list of tutorials. There are a couple different approaches depending on your level of playing. Stay tuned for the video!
I'm tuned in and subscribed. When I do play my tenor in public I find that playing the melody in and out on sax to be a challenge, so I use the flute for that and do my improvising in the middle on sax. I'm pretty sure that if I continue to practice patterns I will gain the ability to play a melody well. I've been messing with the flute since Jethro Tull was a new band but it wasn't until I started playing scales... for hours a day for about six months that i started sounding good. Gotta do that with my tenor now. I've added to the challenge by getting a new setup.. a Conn 10m with a Link NY *7 Thank you Scott.
There's a thumbs up for your thumbs up.. hee hee Speaking of flute.. have you ever heard of Orlando Valle aka Maraca? I am always inspired by his playing.
Two completely different things. Grace notes are explained in this video. Slurring is when you play between 2 (or more notes) without using your tongue. So no separation. Just changing the fingerings from note to note.

Thanks!! I try to keep it really simple and really easy to understand and use.
I love your teaching style. Even though I don't play a horn, I find your lessons useful for other instruments as well.
Always clear and easy to understand. Thanks Sir!
Beautiful information
I learned something today about grace notes. Thanks.
Thank you for allowing me to improve my knowledge
Thank you again Scott for a really interesting lesson

What about descending grace notes?
Scott does being in brackets mean anything??
Thank you so much in the 6th grade going to 7th will be the best in the band
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Very clear ,Scott need to embellish,more often
Thanks! Grace notes, scoops, and turns can make a huge difference in the way a melody sounds!
@@ScottPaddock
A very famous player advised me: Take the theme, embellish it, make it your own. Works well!
Hey what's the difference between grace notes and slurring
Two completely different things. Grace notes are explained in this video. Slurring is when you play between 2 (or more notes) without using your tongue. So no separation. Just changing the fingerings from note to note.
@@ScottPaddock thank you very much I'm so excited you replied my message ❣🤗🤗. I really love your content has helped me a lot to get better
The opening phrase sounds like a Tom and Jerry song
I am watching sax vids on RUclips, have saxophone tabs on my phone, practicing articulations with my mouth, and I'm a pianist😒
Haha!! FYI - all of this stuff works on the piano too, except the scoop part.
Scott Paddock Ok. Gotcha
Omg ahaha I thought this was a catholic video on the types of grace like actual grace and sacramental grace.
😁😁😁
Is there a marine biologist:-Seinfeld
Can you teach us slowly. I understand you play grace fast but play slowly
