Crazy how no one taught me this in X amounts of classical and (some) jazz tuition! Been gigging for 6 months now and thought that there had to be some reason other than learnt licks that other players sounded smoother. Thought to search RUclips for Grace notes and this was one of the videos I found. Fantastic resource thank you!
Awesome Nigel! I was trying to look for the transcription to this solo in the sax school locker but it is not available. Any idea when it will be available for download? Thanks for the great videos!! 🎷
The writing as grace notes is musically much clearer than having 32th or whatever. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Peter, I agree!

Great lesson, I can't wait to see the masterclass with Mike Burton. Thank you.
Me too!
The music is not my style, but great tips on grace notes. I usually just put them where I think and now I know why I put them there.
Thanks for watching Geoff. We can learn loads even from styles we aren’t necessarily into.
Hi Nigel, there is a great sax solo of Wilton Felder on the track with Bobby Womack ( No matter how high I get ) some great vocals too.
Ugh this is amazing! I’m a Dj I love R&B music and music in general, im intimidated by the sax. But would love to learn
That was fantastic Nigel, but could you do some easy lessons in Sax School on grace notes please.
Hey Zabelle, actually there are a few of easier lessons with grace notes. Try the “Smooth Operator” lesson.
@@McGillMusicSaxSchool thanks Nigel, I will take a look in Sax School
Still sounding great and excellent instructor you got it man...
Cheers Steve! Thanks for watching.
Hi NIgel, writing it as grace notes is more readable than using semiquavers.
Cheers Berthold.

Glad you enjoyed the video - the chart is now in the Locker. Enjoy!
Nigel, in certain situations could a 'scoop' up or down be used in place of a grace note ?
Could do, depends on the style of the piece and the note. Great question!
Are Grace Notes played by tonguing and/or by slurring with finger ?
Great question Gary. I usually tongue the grace note and slur to the target note.
I should use side C more.
It’s very useful Paul!
@@McGillMusicSaxSchool I used it on my “Man Who Sold the World” video. But not in the habit of using it on scales.
