Description

There is nothing cooler than having your approach notes mastered!  Back about 10 years ago, I had decided that I really needed to get my act together and start practicing again.  I decided to pick one main focus and to practice like crazy.  The area of jazz improvisation I picked was Approach Note patterns.   I wrote out every conceivable approach note pattern I could think of in the key  of C and started practicing.  Soon I found myself totally freed up and liberated from playing my old cliche lines and patterns.  I was playing new lines and ideas and my technique was better than ever……..

Out of that experience came my “Approach Note Velocity” books.  As I started giving online video lessons, I started receiving requests to do some lessons on this approach note concept.   This is a new series that I’m starting to teach how to work through the “Approach Note Velocity” material.  In this series I will take you step by step through the process in each lesson.   I have found that many students enjoy how the approach note concept sounds but when it comes to applying it to their playing it can be difficult.  This  will be a step by step lesson series where I walk you through the process of how to learn and integrate these concept into your own playing.  In order to get the most out of this series you will need the “Approach Note Velocity” books, Jamey Aebersold Vol. 24 “Major and Minor”and  Jamey Aebersold Vol. 21 “Getting it Together”.

In this series, I have 13 30-45 minute long lessons teaching you how to best work with the approach note concept.  The series is ongoing but these 13 lessons will give you a great start with tips on how to work on the materials in the books.

In order to get the most out of these lessons you should  already have a good grasp of your scales and chord tones in all keys and have my “Approach Note Velocity Volume 1 & 2 books.  If you master the material within these lessons and books, you will find a freedom and dexterity throughout all 12 keys that you never had before.  (13 30-45 Minute Video Lessons)

Testimonials

I bought Steve’s dominant bebop book and took a couple of online lesson from him. I really appreciated Steve’s careful listening of what I wanted to get done in a lesson and his clear, concise ideas on next steps to improve my playing and musical interpretation.  His mastering  the Dominant Bebop Scale has lots of exercises to use a scale that addresses the largest percentage of chords I come across in pop/blues music. The dominant V7.  Needless say it has improved my playing.  I teach and a… Read more

Hi Steve,

First, I want to thank you for all of your great lessons. They are like a “For Dummies” version of all the books on my shelf. The lessons break things down into manageable pieces, and give me the confidence that I’m practicing the right pieces. I’m starting to make progress.   Thank You,   Kim

I have NEVER seen material like yours.  Amazing!!

I’ve been having ‘ online’  lessons with Steve for a few months now. Being a teacher myself I had had some reservations with the idea at first and the practicalities of it .  Let me just say that my playing has taken a huge leaps forward while studying with Steve and continues to do so.Steve studied with some renowned player/teachers such as Bergonzi and Garzone– this in itself is invaluable but Steve teaches from his own books, which cover a a vast amount of  jazz language.

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.

I’m an experienced player in the pop/soul/funk areas of music and, previously, classical.  Over the decades I’ve been playing, I’ve always felt that I could do what I needed in those styles of music.  However, recently I began to feel limited by my use of the same old licks. When I discovered Steve Neff’s website, and heard the audio examples based on the exercises in his books, I realized they were what I needed.  I purchased all of them and have been working on them since.  It’s very hard work… Read more

Hey Steve, My name is Jason Freese and I play keyboards and sax in the band Green Day.  I grew up taking sax lessons from Eric Marienthal when I was a kid and got out of it for a long time. I ran into you on youtube while searching for sax stuff. I bought a whole bunch of your lessons and have been loving it! Thanks! Here is my wikipedia so you can see the albums I’ve played on….Thanks again. It’s sparked my interest in practicing again.   Jason

Steve,

I have played for many years and have enjoyed going “back to the basics” in some of your lessons!  You have such a gift for explaining concepts.  As I have gotten older, some of the basic things have gotten muddled because I just play, not knowing why.  As I refresh myself with “why”, it increases my confidence and expands my playing.  Thank you so much for using your gift!  You are a blessing!

I just started looking at my lessons and I have to say, dude you are awesome.  I ABSOLUTELY will learn from you!  I started the tenor about 1 ½ yrs ago and have since picked up an alto, and more recently a soprano.  I spend most of the time on the tenor, followed by soprano, and have only gotten to the alto a few times.  I think I’ll be sticking with tenor.  I’m having a great time and hope one day to play well enough to get regular gigs.  I’ve been playing keys for about 35 years (… Read more
