Description

This is a pretty cool solo on how to use  what I call the double blues scales over a dominant tonality.  I go into detail on how use two blues scale over a dominant chord. For example, if you are playing over A7, I show you how to use the F# blues scale going up and the A blues scale coming down.  I also show you which notes to band and how to resolve the lines.  I have written out a PDF in each of the 12 keys with the blues scales on them.  Your job is to learn the lines, master the scales and develop some great blues licks of your own.  I demonstrate everything on my tenor sax.(Audio & Video)

    I just watched your Dominant Double Blues lesson – it is very clear, and easy to understand. It’s such a simple concept, and yet it sounds so good when applied. Thank you very much. This is the first lesson of yours I’ve tried. I will definitely be back for more!
    best regards,

    I absolutely love this lesson. I only had a chance to shed this for a couple of hours before I had to play at church yesterday and it has improved my playing already.

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

It is so refreshing to have a great player, who can provide lessons and examples in a manner which is understandable to most any enthusiastic saxophonist who is ready to improve. not just the, do this, do that, memorize this, memorize that… while all that is absolutely necessary, you go on to give reasons and examples to explain and validate why you have to do all of these things, the benefits, if you will… that is the key for me, you tell, explain, demonstrate, explain some more, you give perso… Read more

Thanks so much for putting all this great learning material out there. I don’t often have the time to take a lesson with a teacher, so the ability to download lessons is really invaluable. My playing has improved enormously (I think :)) – and the lessons are so varied there’s always something to be inspired by. Incredible value too!

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 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

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………..
