Your videos are absolutely THE BEST!! You don't mess around with short confusing videos to lure us in. I just can't say enough about you and the info you give. Priceless!
Thank you for another outstanding masterclass and for giving some visibility and recognition to one of my favorite BOSS tenor players from my hometown in central Ohio, where he often played at a club called the Anchor Inn with B3 legend Hank Marr (probably on the cut you played) He was an incredibly gracious human being as well and encouraged younglings to occasionally sit in. You captured his sound and blues (some would shout dirty dirty dirty) phrasing. You should catch his solo on a medley of The entertainer and I'm Old Fashioned with another Columbus OH jazz legend , Trombone hero Gary Carney.
Thx for turning me on to this great player, born in the state of WV in which I currently reside! Maputo by Marcus as done by Dave/Bob is one of my faves.
Your channel is one of the best in the world for sax players! I’ve always wondered why you’ve never done anything on Kirk Whalum’s famous solo, one of the most listened to ever. Would love to hear your take on it! Hope you’re in good terms with him
Great tutorial! Now I know why I never sounded "Bluesy" even when I improvised using the blues scale. Transcribing blues solos will never be the same moving forward! Thanks!
I loved this video! I'm a jazz loving guitar player and sax loving listener. My favourite is Jessy J, whom I discovered by accident, whilst looking for Jessie J!😅
Omg, I just realised the audio is in stereo. At the beginning, I was listening with only one earplug and was like, "I can't hear the melody"😂. Thx for this video ☺️
This helps so much. Only yesterday I was looking for info and some help on the solo for “lily was here”. It will still probably take me 10+ years to learn it and be able to play it but this really helps. Thanks Jamie
Wow. That's all I can say. What an incredible tip - such a simple and effective technique that obviously even the masters use. For me I was however confused with the whole b5-b3-2-1 thing only because I was already thinking in natural minors with flatted 5th so talking the notes as they translate from major really threw me for a few minutes. Bottom line for me (probably just me) it would have been much clearer saying it's the first 4 notes of any blues scale going backwards. That's it. I would have immediately understood that but that's just me because I don't think of the altered notes from major - instead my fingers have just memorized the notes in the blues scales and I don't think about how they're altered. For years I've practiced blues scales starting on the tonic. I know it's dumb but I did. This simple thing of just starting on the 4th note of the blues scale and playing down is crazy simple and crazy cool.
Hi, I was wondering, do you have an email or anywhere that I would be able to send you a video of the saxophone I bought? When I press c one of the bottom notes shakes and Id just like to check if that’s meant to happen, I’m fairly certain it’s not, or if I need to return it? Would be very helpful, thanks :)
Rusty Bryant is one of the greatest for gutsy bluesy soul funk. Not famous enough by far. You can't help grinning when your hear his licks. Fire eater used to be the first song on our set list to get the groove going.
"This video is brought to you by BUDGET TITLES R US" - priceless. Seriously, though, that lesson was priceless. I mean, we're talking 'more precious than your mom's Tupperware collection' kind of priceless. And as for this lick? It reigns supreme, even over THE LICK. That’s right, it’s the king of all licks-crowned, sceptered, and probably has a Netflix special in the works.

@@jeromeking6001 thanks!
Although I am “A Yank”, I still prefer the British pronunciation of “Saxophonist”. Gives it a little class Jaime! 😎🎷
Jamie, just listening to you repeat the soloists… in my dreams. Well done.
Thank you

What an awesome nugget of brilliance. Thank you!
You are welcome!

I have. It’s (erroneously) in my 80 sax solos compilation.
Wow Jamie! Love this. Just tried it out...and Wow. Thank you so much. Appreciate all of your content. Been a game changer for me!
That's great! 🙏
Loving this video. Saxophone sensei *bows*. I have the Bettersax Alto sax. I absolutely love it :)
Thanks so much! Awesome
Great tutorial! Now I know why I never sounded "Bluesy" even when I improvised using the blues scale. Transcribing blues solos will never be the same moving forward!
Thanks!
You are welcome
Brilliant lesson and examples, thanks Jamie

You have excellent tone!
Thank you

Cool 😎
Thanks for all of that. I'm not a sax player, but work with them a lot, and all those tips are transferable.
You're welcome 👍
Exelent Lesson. Thank you very much, Jamie!
Thanks!
Great video! This lick is so simple and so efficient !
Thanks so much
Very timely - starting to solo over Blue Monk. ( PS, Jay Metcalf’s Better Sax Tenor sounds good ! )
Cool. Thanks, yeh!
Outstanding music education! Thank you!
Thank you. You're welcome
you are the best saxophone teacher on youtube. Thanks Jamie!
Thank you!
Funkissimo! Great examples! (As a native Chicagoan I can say you got "Wabash" right this time!)
🙏
Awesome tutorial as always!
Thank you
Omg, I just realised the audio is in stereo. At the beginning, I was listening with only one earplug and was like, "I can't hear the melody"😂. Thx for this video ☺️
You are welcome
Ha ha ha, I did the same thing & couldn’t work out how I couldn’t hear the notes!!😅😂😅
This helps so much.
Only yesterday I was looking for info and some help on the solo for “lily was here”. It will still probably take me 10+ years to learn it and be able to play it but this really helps. Thanks Jamie
Great! Glad it helps
Your lessons knock me out...😅

Yup. Nice cells.
Great lesson useful tips bro thanks for posting...
You're very welcome!
Nice blusie class!! (Did you notice that you wrote “concusion” instead of “conclusion”? 😅
Oops!😬
As usual…. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
You're very welcome 🙏

Gary - it’s the first 4 notes of any minor blues scale going backwards. 😉
Subscribed 🎷
Awesome, thank you!
Great video as usual what sax make are you playing.
I mix up my Selmer Mk VI and Better Tenor.
Please pray for me to get better on my saxophone and scales
Keep working at it
Another great video Jamie. Not your usual Mark VI I see...
Thanks. Well spotted!
Can you do a video of Blues solos on an Alto?
That’s what this was!
Is that the same for the Mayor-Blues-Scales for example C-Major: C D Eb E G A (C) ? And if so, would we take the first 4 Notes backward E Eb D C?
In a major blues scale, you would play it exactly the same way: Eb D C A. Even though you’re in the key of C.
Doesn’t really work like that, no. See the other reply someone made, they’re right.
Great vid. Thanks Jamie. Is that a new horn??
You're welcome. It's the Better Tenor
Are you using the octave key
Em. Ever? Yes. For all notes above middle C# like everyone else.
PS the dot you missed at 13:47 ….. I kept trying to wipe it from my screen. (I don’t have closure issues, honest!) 😂😂😂
HaHa, I did the same.😁
🤣
Don't forget the famous Maceo solo on Soul Power 74!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍
Hi, I was wondering, do you have an email or anywhere that I would be able to send you a video of the saxophone I bought? When I press c one of the bottom notes shakes and Id just like to check if that’s meant to happen, I’m fairly certain it’s not, or if I need to return it? Would be very helpful, thanks :)
I’m not a sax tech I’m afraid 😦
Rusty Bryant is one of the greatest for gutsy bluesy soul funk. Not famous enough by far. You can't help grinning when your hear his licks.
Fire eater used to be the first song on our set list to get the groove going.
Awesome
Hello. What mouthpiece is that?
Hi, my complete setup is linked in the description 👍
"This video is brought to you by BUDGET TITLES R US" - priceless. Seriously, though, that lesson was priceless. I mean, we're talking 'more precious than your mom's Tupperware collection' kind of priceless. And as for this lick? It reigns supreme, even over THE LICK. That’s right, it’s the king of all licks-crowned, sceptered, and probably has a Netflix special in the works.
🙏🏻
this particular letter answered some vital questions that I wondered about for so long. Again- THANKS 😊😊
@ anytime 🙏🏻
What is the sax you are playing please Jamie?
Oh it’s the better sax one!! You answered in the vid 😂 . Please get your mitts on the Bari when it comes out….
what mouthpiece is that?
Yeh, the Better Tenor
reminiscent of part of the pink panther theme
True!
20:45 Concusion! 😄
Ha. Yeh!
👍🏾✅️💯🔥🎷
🙏
Hi Jamie, I like your videos and teaching style, but come on, this is beyond us mere mortals, well me anyway 😂😂
You got this
Oops, Jamie gave us concusion at the end ;-)
Ha!
What happened to your Selmer? And maybe a different mouthpiece? Have you gone from the dark side….😅
Still have them!
Excellent! Thank you!
You're welcome
Brilliant video, thanks for pulling this all together.🙂
Thanks
Amazing! Thank you for this AWESOME lesson!
Thanks so much
