Beginner Jazz Improvisation Lesson 11A-Tenor Sax

Description

This is a beginner improviser series for tenor sax. In this series of lessons I will take you from the very beginning and teach you how to improvise.

In this lesson 11A, I will teach you about the Db major scale, the Eb dorian scale, the Ab mixolydian scale and the chords that these work over. I also teach you the Bb blues scale and the Db Major Blues scale and show you how to use those over a variety of grooves. I teach you how to use each of these scales to come up with material to play over the Aebersold play alongs. I spend a lot of time talking about hearing the resolution points within each scale and chord and what to listen for when improvising. My goal with these series of lessons is too teach you all the basic chords and scales in every key and get you improvising in a fluent way over some common jazz standards. I demonstrate all the material on my tenor saxophone. (31 Minute Video & PDF)
