Description

In this new lesson series on the altissimo range, we will be attacking the altissimo register of the saxophone one note at a time.  In this first lesson, I have written out 76 lines involving the altissimo note F# that can be used over 6 blues scales, 7 major chords, 7 minor chords and 7 dominant chords.   These are great sounding lines that are pulled from many different concepts including blues scales, major and minor scales, bebop scales and approach note patterns.  They were created to give you real world lines that you can use in your solos over these keys while also building technique in that range of the horn.

The lesson includes a PDF with the 76 great sounding melodic and technical lines involving the altissimo F# note written out for you to practice. I teach you how to best practice these lines as a stepping stone to greater technical facility in the altissimo register.

I demonstrate the concepts in this lesson on the tenor saxophone to chords played on the piano but the lines can be played on the alto saxophone as well. (PDF of 76 great sounding melodic and technical lines with altissimo F# in them in assorted keys, 45 Minute Video Lesson)

I can see from your instructional videos that you are a fantastic teacher – one that can truly relate to all ages – humble yet very positive in approach – never coming across as superior and yet so totally capable of demonstrating the principles and techniques that you seek to impart to the students. I have gained so much confidence in my playing from “pouring over” time and again these invaluable lessons. Invaluable not only in musical content, but also in human interaction content. I am absolu… Read more

Hi Steve, I can’t express just how much I appreciate your teaching. My playing has improved so much over the past year since I have been studying and practicing with your lessons. It is possible to teach an old dog new tricks, these lessons are proof! Thanks, Michael Byington

Two years later I began a search for a sax teacher and happened to come across Steve Neff when I was searching YouTube for sax teachers.  I went to neffmusic.com and was very impressed with the lessons Steve Neff was offering.  The concept of selecting lessons was an approach that I thought was unique and purchased a few lessons.  I liked the lessons so much that I signed-up for a 6 month package. I was very happy with all the lessons I selected.  I also purchased Steve’s book Mastering the B… Read more

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for being you, your playing, your website and your desire to help others. I’m a professional musician in the US Army and I’ve visited your website almost every day since discovering it a couple of months ago. Your lessons are profound and easy to use. I’ve purchased most of your PDF books and now am starting to delve more into the video and audio lessons.  Thank you for being a great resource!

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………..

Love your lessons!  I have been using your lesson packages for many months now, and am learning a lot.  It is so perfect for me with a very busy adult schedule and difficulty in taking jazz/improv music lessons from reputable instructors who live and hour or more away from me.
