- If you find my video's informative, useful and slightly amusing and you'd like to buy me a coffee, you can here - www.buymeacoff... and me and my family will be very grateful for your kindness. This helps me make more video's as this channel is not monetised through RUclips yet. We are on the way though.
In this video we take a dive into understanding Blues scales. We look at how to use them to sound awesome in your solo in a very straightforward yet effective way.
We look at the recipe for one so that you can build one in any key. We discover how they are similar to minor pentatonic scales and if that is something you're not sure about have a look here: • Pentatonic scales expl...
Blues scales are a type of minor scale and have the same notes as the chord tones of a Dorian minor and if that's not familiar then take a look here: • Dorian minor scales fo...
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Wonderful videos Sir!
Many thanks! 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷
Thank you so much Lyndon. Your videos have helped so much. Coffee on the way!
Kenneth thank you so much 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
I'd love a video on how you produce your wonderful vibrato. Thank you
Hi there and thank you so much for your support and your suggestion. Actually I have recently relaunched my RUclips channel with (hopefully) well made videos in a dedicated home studio, but many years ago I made a tutorial on vibrato which was just made on an iPad. The filming quality and editing is poor but the information is hopefully useful and you could do me a real favour by watching it and letting me know if you find it helpful and also if you think I should remake it. I’d be very grateful for your feedback and the video is here: Vibrato on the sax

@@rolandritter3614 thank you so much Roland that means a great deal to me and thank you so much for your support 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Wow, this nice.
Please how do I get the backing track?.
Thank you! The backing track comes from an app called Session Band Jazz 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Thanks
Thank you so much Christopher!
Thank you very much..❤❤❤
You’re welcome 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎😎
Would you mind explaining which track you are now using & how to find it using that jazz session band app you suggested Lynden? Just downloaded it today thanks to you! 👏👏👌👌😁👍
Hi Jilly, I made a quick tutorial just for you 🤝🤝 ruclips.net/video/8-ufpd7CygU/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I am not a lady Lyndon, but a man. Helge is a norwegian male name. Helga is the name for a lady. Keep up the god work. :)
I realised my stupid mistake yesterday and was contemplating re-uploading the whole video. I have just edited it here on RUclips, took about 35 minutes to do and will take a while to upload again. I'm so sorry Helge please forgive my ignorance and thank you so much again, it meant such a lot to us as self employed musicians to find a new way of creating income. Thanks again, you are my first coffee buyer!
Take a look now, it’s been edited and I cut out a section. I’m sure I probably pronounced your name incorrectly though 🙄
@@lyndenbladesYour pronunciation is absolutely fine. The French have greater difficulty with my name. :)
@@aesculapification That’s a relief to hear!!
Hi Lynden. What’s your take on the Major Blues against the Minor Blues? Also would like to ask about tonguing! I feel if I tongue every single note the sound becomes a little disconnected ! If I just move my emboucher pressure it sounds better. Maybe you could do a video on that 🤔 maybe. Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Gary, thanks for your message.
I love both major and minor blues. I really love Stolen Moments, check out Earnie watts playing with Lee Ritnour.
Definitely wouldn’t tongue every note, a mix of tonging and slurring is best. Does this help? 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
I will listen to stolen moments for sure.
Yes that does help, mixing the two I guess is what I’m doing I think. Thanks for your input.🙏🙏🙏😊
@@garyjeneson1519 Stolen moments is stunning 😍 and you’re most welcome 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Thanks again 🙏
🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
So helpful Thanks not sure how to buy you a coffee in US dollars...
Hi Gregory, thank you and I’m so happy that this is useful for you. If you’d like to buy me a coffee just follow this link and I’m pretty sure all currencies are OK 👍

the combinations are perfect can you advise me of the backing track i have to play is it Dm?
Yes that’s right, D-7 for alto sax 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎
Teşekkürler.
Thank you so much!
Great video! Very helpful. Just a question: over which chords would you suggest using D blues scale? e.g Dm song?
Thank you! Yes, you can use a blues scale in D over a D-7 chord (that would be F-7 concert)
After having a think about your question a bit more, if you had a song such as Mustang Sally, you could use this scale to make a solo and it would sound awesome. You'd need to be in the right key, of course but you could make a fantastic solo over the whole tune. Another example is the tune Summertime, you can follow the chords or you could use a blues scale over the whole thing. Also, Autumn Leaves another song where this one type of scale will fit over the whole thing. You won't get the different sound dimensions that following the chord structure offers you to do, but it will still sound good if you're able to throw the scale around and make some interesting phrases. Hope this helps!
Yes, that's great. Thanks!@@lyndenblades
@@MrGmantza excellent 👍 happy to help 😎😎🎷🎷

Lynden Blades
It’s actually session Band Soul Jazz Funk Volume three, on a 70’s Funk feel and D-7 for alto sax. Does this help?
Danke Dir Thank You
Gruß aus München
@@p.h.w.moeller9319 you’re welcome 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Hi Lynden. Is the backing track played in Dm7?
Yes that’s right, D-7 for alto sax or Concert F-7 😎😎🤝🤝🎷🎷
@@lyndenblades Can this pattern be applied over concert F7?
@@tioliak yes, I’d say so. Try it and let me know 🤝🤝
What setting on Session Band 3 for Tenor Sax? Thanks Lynden
Craig I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking here, but it’s Soul Jazz Funk volume 3, it’s on the 70’s Funk feel and it’s set to Dm7(9) for alto which is Gm7(9) for tenor sax. Does this help?
Yes thank you
@@craig9140 awesome 🤩
Wonderful videos Sir!
Glad you like them! 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎
Thanks!
