This is lesson 2A in the beginner improvisation series for alto sax.\u00a0 In this series of lessons I will take you from the very beginning and teach you how to improvise on the alto saxophone.\u00a0 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. \u00a0 I teach you how to use these to immediately start improvising with music.\u00a0 I also\u00a0 show you how to practice these scales and chords as well as how to improvise with\u00a0 them using some Jamey Aebersold play alongs.\u00a0 I also show you the D blues scale and talk about how to use it against F major and D minor.\u00a0 I spend a lot of time talking about hearing the resolution points within each scale and chord and what to listen for when improvising.\u00a0 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.
