Description

This is a new lesson series that I’m working on to review all the elements of the “Mastering the Dominant Bebop Scale Lesson Series” within a standard Blues progression. The goal of this series is to give a student a comprehensive way to review all that they have learned from my “Mastering the Dominant Bebop Scale” book and lesson series. We will be playing all the bebop scales to a simple 12 bar blues form that travels through all 12 keys. In future lessons we will also be using multiple bebop links as well as various resolution links to navigate through the blues progression in a cool way.

Using the blues in all 12 keys is a great way to master and review the elements of the bebop scale but also to master the form of the blues in all 12 keys. Review is so important to learning and retaining a concept that I thought it was important to give a follow up series for that purpose. This series is not for beginner players or those new to the bebop scale but for those who have worked through my book and already mastered many of the elements. This is a terrific way to further your mastery of the bebop scale concept as well as improving your technique and facility on your instrument.

In lesson 1, we are focusing on just playing the bebop scales to the blues progression by starting on the different chord tones. I show you how to vary your lines rhythmically and also how to make the exercises more simple or harder just by slowing down or speeding up your lines. As a side benefit, when you are done with this series, you will definitely have your standard blues progression down! The lesson comes with a play-along blues progression that travels through all 12 keys one chorus at a time. I have also provided a PDF of the progression to look at for Bb,Eb and C instruments if you need to. I demonstrate the different concepts with the play-along with my alto saxophone. (32 Minute Video Lesson, Blues in 12 keys play along, PDF of blues changes for C,Eb and Bb Instruments)

    Dear Steve,

    I signed up for the gold coupon discount lesson series, and watched my first two today: Bebop Scales on the Blues and “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise”. I enjoyed both of them, and had a two hour blowing session learning “Softly…”. I know these lessons are going to be a big jump opportunity for me, especially if I practice!

    I am retired, and my passion is playing my tenor. I live in the country, so playing opportunities are slim, but I’m working on it.

    Thanks for the wonderful website and the great lessons.

Hi Steve, I have been shedding your materials for quite a while now and I love them! They are extremely well organized and presented and there are tons of ’em! I really appreciate your methodical approach and find myself referring students to your resources often.  Thanks so much!

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.  I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more bite sized way.

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

Thank you for the wealth of helpful lessons you’ve provided over the years.  I truly feel as though it has improved my playing more than the 4 years I spent at Berklee… and that’s not a slight on the school as I loved my experience there.

I’ve been a member of Steve’s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I don’t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I’ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a ‘replay’ of the last lesson would h… Read more

Your material is great! I got your New Altissimo Lesson 6 months ago and I have learned more from that than in all my 44 years of playing! I appreciate your down to earth teaching method and I really appreciate the heart that you teach with. I have been a subscriber to your lessons for the past 6 months and I have learned a great deal. Over that period of time I have had some questions and you have never failed to respond. Thanks! I have already recommended your lessons to a number of players in… Read more

Mr. Neff,  I want to thank you for sharing your God-given talents through your on-line lessons.  My husband, Michael, is blind, but he is a great sax player and he has been enjoying your lessons for quite some time now.  It’s not unusual for me to hear “Hey, babe, listen to THIS!” – and he will cut loose on his sax, just thrilled at what he learned during his session with you.  His excitement warms my heart!  You have no idea how much you have poured into my husband.  You have opened musical … Read more
