Description

In this lesson I reveal what is an amazing tip for fast jazz articulation. I am excited about this lesson because What I talk about in it is something that I recently discovered that I did while articulating fast jazz phrases. I talk in depth about what is called “Ghost Tonguing” and how it helps me to tongue and articulate fast jazz passages.  (Video & Audio)

    Hi there Steve, I downloaded this video some time ago when I was working on my basic articulation. I found the Basic Jazz Articulation lessons really helpful at that time but its taken me a long time to really integrate those skills. Now that my basic articulation is improving I noticed that my bebop lines were sounding really clunky. This was the missing link! It’s a very powerful technique with loads of applications and it’s starting to help my lines sound better all over again. I find it difficult to do – when I think about it, everything else goes haywire but when I don’t think about it I forget to do it! Basic bebop themes are starting to sound right now – still not there but sounding more fluent. Like you, I noticed that I was already doing it without realizing on some tunes I know really well. I couldn’t find anything on ghost tonguing at all on the web, then this came up and I realized I already had it. It was too soon before for me to appreciate but now I realize what a great lesson this is. Thanks a lot for all your lessons and continuing inspiration – you’re a genius man!

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!

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

Steve really changed my way of practicing: I got a whole lot of new ideas for my playing the tenor.  His lessons are really helpful, give a lot stuff to practice and give clear answers to complicated stuff.  Steve has a lot of humor and I wish I had laughed so much in my former days with the horn.  All topics, from Blues to Approach note are dealt with clearness that wet ones appetite to play and practice that great ideas.

I want to say something about Steve Neff’s series of lessons, Beginner Jazz Improvisation. For a couple of years I tried many beginner lessons and my problem was that there was a gap between lessons that were fairly simple and ones that I was not quite ready for and my progress stalled out. That problem was solved with the series Beginner Jazz Improvisation. He guides you step by step along the way and builds a foundation for learning jazz and blues. He leaves no question about what to practice … Read more

Your lessons on playing the blues is so clear . I have been through many books on blues playing and not one of them explains as clear as your lessons . Most of them say “Play the same blues scale over all three chords of a 12 bar blues ” Its very misleading .     Thanks

For anyone living in remote areas away from live jazz sax teachers, Neff is the way to go. In fact this is a great resource for anyone seriously interested in mastering the sax. I’ve never been disappointed in a lesson.

Thank you for all the educational information you provide.  I am a classically trained musician.  Professionally, I am a 4th and 5th grade band teacher.  I have played piano and sax for many years, but now I am starting to gig out more. I have always improvised by ear in the past. I have gotten by with my strong sense of pitch, rhythm and melodic contour. However, I want to go deeper. I want to play with a greater variety of melodic and rhythmic ideas to pull from.  I have studied to gain a … Read more

Steve- I joined your site this month and have downloaded 4 lessons and also purchased your new book and video on diatonic patterns. I just want to say I am very pleased with your approach and teaching techniques. I am getting back into playing after laying off for some time. The information you offer on your site is of great value and I am enjoying being a member. Thank you for what you are doing for the saxophone community.
