Hi all

Made this lesson recently. When I first learned this, several years ago, it really opened up a whole
world of possible new skills and ways of thinking about music and playing the sax. I Hope it does the same for you!

More lessons on my Youtube channel and my website: www.HelloSaxophone.com

Very cool; thanks James! This will take me some repetition for sure but I think it will help me! I really appreciate all of you accomplished musicians here on SOTW who post helpful things for the rest of us. Thanks again!

Great lesson, and it was nice to put it up on YouTube and post it for everyone here to use. I wish someone had come along and taught this stuff to me that when I was learning to play by ear! I had to figure this out on my own, and I learned more with chords/arpeggios and chromatic approaches than songs. This would have been a lot faster!

Yes! When I figured this out I was also amazed why this is not theory lesson one with all teachers. It's such an essential skill and once you know it, it makes everything soooo much easier

Since some requested it I also posted a lesson with the intervals downwards:
