Thanks! I had not noticed the ‘thanks’ button but it is so perfect for me. I can watch the video. I can take the lesson and not feel guilty about getting something valuable (to me) for nothing. Also, since I’m paying for it, I’m not as glib in my assessment of the lesson but will take it to my horn and work it out. Exactly what I was looking for this morning: inspiration and something to work on. Space….the final frontier….

Hi Jay. I started Playing Sax when I was around 18, and now I am 82, boy time did fly. I just want to say that, I still have a Fine memory for songs from way back in the early 1900 through the 40's and early 50's. I Still Play every day for a few Hours, and I am Still doing Gig like the Mt. Washington Hotel Main Dining Room in New Hampshire. I do find myself Playing a lot of times for People that are in their 30's and up. So you are never too old to Play the Saxophone. I have a Yanagisawa 880 Stencil made for "Martin" Ser. #00104XXX, that i have had since it was new. I love looking at your Videos on U Tube, and think you are doing a great job Teaching in this way. I will keep watching.

There is a saying: Learning music is like learning a new language. So true. However, unlike when we learned our native language, we often get stuck learning only how to read music. We barely learn how to write it (composition or arranging.) Most of the time, at least in school, we never learn how to speak it. That's where improvising comes in. :) I hope that analogy makes sense. It blows students' minds out of the water when I tell them that.

I'm digging the straight forward, honest explanations. This lesson, in particular, harks to something I've experienced as a piano player, guitar player and vocalist. Too many notes can ruin good music. From personal experience, what we play should support the music, not drown it, confuse it or distract from it. This lesson contains probably the best advice I've ever seen for playing good, enjoyable music. Nice one Jay!

This is a great video, explaining a simple but ultimately core concept to great music...rhythm...Extremely fast playing by SOME fast players, has been a pet peeve of mine...they are all over the place but there is no ''soul'' in their playing, no ''feel'' for what they are doing. They focus on speed to the exclusion of other more important ''musical'' elements. they know millions of scales, modes note combinations that ''work'' in some way and go together but you'd end up feeling dead inside instead of inspired. Good example of inspiring music, BB King,..3 notes in the right place in the song and relative to each other could literally bring tears to your eyes. It is all in the rhythm, something i didn't consciously think about until this video. Either the person ''has it'' and 'can ''connect'' with the soul of the song rhythmically, or they dont.

Hey, I’ve been playing guitar for many years, I’m also a drummer and a signer, but a beginner saxophonist, you wanted me to comment to give you feedback on the lesson here it is! It actually helped me so much, i knew the importance of rhythm before but it just clarified it all for me on sax, simplifying by choosing only select few notes forces you to be creative with them, especially in a rhythmic way, obviously I am still beginner, but that doesn’t mean I can’t sound good haha, and I enjoyed myself while doing it too so thank you. I don’t usually comment, but this time it was worthy of it

He had me playing another instrument during the course ( college class), the violin, and i would have preferred to have played th sax; maybe he thought I wasn't ready with the sax yet.q I am going to put space an rhythm into this. I keep watching you and am learning quite a bit. I will try to keep up. I am a much much older beginner. Dan Berendt.
