Description

In this lesson I  show you 10 A section Rhythm Changes solos that I’ve written out. These solos are are a collection of great lines that I have collected from the likes of Bob Berg, Hank Mobley, John Coltrane,  Johnny Griffin and others. this lesson originated from  having students work on Rhythm Changes and I would give them a line to memorize for the week. i found that by memorizing a great line the students could get a better feel and idea of how a solo on rhythm Changes should flow and  move. A PDF of all 10 lines is included in the lesson and I demonstrate all the lines on my tenor sax. Enjoy! (Audio Lesson)

    Mansax – July 16, 2009

    This is a fantastic lesson that addresses many different aspects of playing over Rhythm Changes. By selecting and demonstrating the solo ideas of the masters, Steve’s lesson not only gives me a repertoire of phrases to play, but by shedding these lines my ears start to hear the changes and my fingers learn to move in 4ths. Since Rhythm Changes are something we all have to come to terms with, this lesson is an indispensable addition to my daily practice. Well done and thanks Steve!

    Stephen – April 15, 2011

    I couldn’t agree with Mansax more, this lesson has given me more enjoyment than anything I have previously worked on. The 10 phrases Steve has given to work on are all different but connected with the same style. I love playing them and feel that some of the effort has embedded itself into my playing. I have been working on these for a month and now have them all memorized, (I have detailed how I did this in my forum progress). Steve has commented he will be adding several more lessons on this subject shortly, I can’t wait!

    Kindest Regards Stephen (selmerc*)

I’ve been downloading your lessons for 4 months now (20 lesson) and I have noticed tremendous growth in my playing thus far! I’m so happy that I stumbled upon your site!
Bob
I’ve been a member of Steve’s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I don’t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I’ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a ‘replay’ of the last lesson would h… Read more

First, I’m really excited about your materials! This site is a vast resource for any aspiring (and maybe already inspired) jazz musicians. I’m not a sax player, I play mandolin and fiddle, but have been learning jazz and playing weekly with a quintet for the past 6 months and have been struggling with all of the issues you get into in your lessons. I bought several books and lessons and plan to continue with some others as soon as I organize my practice routine. Thanks again for a great site … Read more

Your lessons on playing the blues is so clear . I have been through many books on blues playing and not one of them explains as clear as your lessons . Most of them say “Play the same blues scale over all three chords of a 12 bar blues ” Its very misleading .     Thanks
Martin
Thank you for the wealth of helpful lessons you’ve provided over the years.  I truly feel as though it has improved my playing more than the 4 years I spent at Berklee… and that’s not a slight on the school as I loved my experience there.

Steve, just a note to say thanks.

I’ve been playing a long time, but your material, laid out in such a thoughtful way, helps me to understand concepts in a new and deeper way.

You are a true gift to the jazz community.

60 lessons and going strong,

I can’t say enough about my membership at Neff Music. Steve has taken the mystery out of playing the saxophone well and improvising both jazz and rock music. Like most struggling players I have a load of all sorts of books on my shelf just gathering dust. Books that I didn’t understand or know how to put to use…or just have the time to go threw them. Steve’s lessons really simplify things and he puts it in a way that I can understand. They inspire me to keep pushing and having him as my guide or… Read more

Just to say thanks for your advice and lessons.  I’ve just read your amazing story.  I really appreciate what you do in regards to teaching.  I have bought a couple of your lessons and frankly they’re undersold.   I’ve learned much more with these two lessons than with 2 years of sax teachers.   Thanks so much………..
Mike

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.  I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more bite sized way.
