Description

This is lesson 5 in a series of lessons on my New Ultimate II-V-I Primer book. To get the most out of these lessons you will need to purchase the book also.

These lessons compliment the book in that you can hear all of the examples and variations played as you watch the video. I walk you step by step through the process of how to practice this material for the best results. Below are the highlights of the book: I have been working hard on the new Ultimate II-V-I Primer for the last 3-4 months.

The purpose of this book is to give beginner to intermediate jazz improvisers a complete and thorough method to learn many of the note possibilities in a II-V-I progression in a systematic and organized way. I have written this book so that it starts with the simplest of exercises and progresses to more advanced exercises as you work through the book. I have changed the focus of this book from just playing patterns to creating melodies and really improvising with those patterns and approaches. Here are some of the changes and additions to the book: 1. I have included 40 play alongs with the book that you can practice to in all 12 keys. They are at 3 different tempos 85,110 and 140. 2. Each chapter has many insights, tips and advice written between the lines of music so you can learn more as you work on the book. 3.  I have added 10 approach note patterns to every chapter. By adding these approaches to the basic patterns you can connect them and create far more interesting lines and melodies. 4.  I have added examples in every chapter on using the materials to create melodic lines and give you advice and tips on how to practice this. 5. The book is written in all 12 keys!! Unfortunately, I did not think ahead about how many pages this book would be because of that……It is 750 pages. (might not want to print all of them on your printer…..)

This series of lessons walks you step by step through the beginning lessons in the book. I give detailed advice and tips on how to best practice the material so that you learn it thoroughly. This lesson deals with the Lesson 4 chapter of the book. I teach you how to practice the material in all 12 keys with the playalong. I demonstrate all the examples on the tenor saxophone. (38 Minute Video Lesson)

Thank You Steve. I think that I will be busy for years. Thank You for your great contribution to jazz music. Your books, more than teaching “how to play jazz”, actually teach “how to speak jazz”. I wish I found your methods years ago.  

Jean-Eric

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.

Lenore
Thank you so much for the great job you are doing to help further our jazz studies. Though I make my living as a repairer of musical instruments I am a student of jazz and have been fortunate enough to be involved with a big band and a combo for the last several years. As my children began to leave “the nest” I had decided to dedicate the next half of my life to a more serious study of the sax but I didn’t know exactly how I would go about doing this until a friend of mine turned me onto your si… Read more

By the way, BIG COMPLIMENTS to you, Steve! Not only are you a great player, you are also a great teacher! I, too, am a woodwinds player/teacher. I have new inspiration to play and teach because of you. The concepts and “thinking” is similar to what I already learned in College, but hearing you explain and PLAY the concepts REALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! Also, your written patterns are more interesting than other books I have seen! Keep up the good work. I will be recommending your sit… Read more
I will be recommending your site to others!
I’ve been downloading your lessons for 4 months now (20 lesson) and I have noticed tremendous growth in my playing thus far! I’m so happy that I stumbled upon your site!
Bob
I would like to say that in the last year my sax playing has progressed loads from your lessons. I have had a sax for about 20 years and dabbled with lessons from a few teachers and have learnt very little from them. As you have said in your lessons many teachers tell you to use the blues scale and leave it there, not even showing you the resolution points!!. I am now believing I can in time become a good improviser.
Thanks again,
Shane

I can see from your instructional videos that you are a fantastic teacher – one that can truly relate to all ages – humble yet very positive in approach – never coming across as superior and yet so totally capable of demonstrating the principles and techniques that you seek to impart to the students. I have gained so much confidence in my playing from “pouring over” time and again these invaluable lessons. Invaluable not only in musical content, but also in human interaction content. I am absolu… Read more

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.
