Beginner Jazz Improvisation Lesson 2B-Alto Sax

Description

This is a beginner improviser series of video lessons for the alto saxophone.  In this series of video lessons, I will take you from the very beginning and teach you how to improvise on the alto sax. In lesson 2B,  I continue where I left off in lesson 2A.  I teach you the F major scale, the G dorian scale, the C mixolydian scale and the chords that these work over.  I show you how to practice the scales and chords as well as how to practice them with some Aebersold play alongs.  I also show you the D blues scale and talk about how to use it against F major and D minor.  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 using the alto saxophone.
