Beginning Easy Sax Improvisation

The Dominant 7 Scale

A Powerful, Yet Easy Way to Improvise

In this video

  • Introduce the Dominant 7 Scale
  • How it compares to the Major Scale
  • How it compares to the Pentatonic Scale
  • Your 1st step; practicing with the backing track

Follow along with your Tequila sheet music…

Check out the dominant scales below: G for the Bb saxes and D for the Eb saxes

Your next lesson:

You’ll learn about creating short themes (riffs) from the scale.
I’ll demonstrate a few of these short riffs, then end with a very cool embellishment called the minor 3rd trill. I use this trill all the time and it’s a must for rock and blues-based music!

You’ll get an email with the link to this upcoming lesson soon.
