Hi Johnny,
I’m still working on Altissimo lesson 2 (which will keep me going for another month
as i need to nail some of those low notes a lot more steadilly).
In the meantime, started lesson 1 of the Major scale improvisation _ WOW
only spent 20 mins on it as i can’t drop my other practicing
Did your up and down the scale with the backing track, then just improvised
along with it.
I need to spend quite a bit of time with this, to get in syc with
the backing track.
wow – just shows how slow i am,
todays the 1st day when i managed
to play the D major scale on my
sax in time to the backing track.
playing 1/4 notes & 1/8 notes!
hopefully a couple more days & i
can start lesson 2!
Just read lesson 2 & watched the videos i found everything simple
clear and well described Johnny! But i’m glad you did the 2nd
video, particularly the bits where you play the sax! as my rythmn isn’t spot on with the sax – if its the guitar its the complete opposite.
I’m glad i watched it now, as i’m still working lesson 1, but the two
are very closely related! Lesson 2 is a very similar workout i do daily
with the chromatic scales from mid Bb up to high F and high F down to mid Bb chromatic scales wise
That’s it for lesson 2 and the modes. I encourage everyone to know it really well and start improvising with only nthe modes. TYhere is more of course with the scales but modes are 50% of it.
