How To Improvise Using Any Scale

In this SHORT, I'm going to teach you how to turn ANY SCALE into improvisation with a quick step-by-step breakdown. This is just the starting point, but if you've ever wondered how improvisers turn scales into solos, here is a quick look behind the curtains. If you'd like to dive deeper into this topic, I've done several full-length YouTube videos, and I have an entire course dedicated to beginner improv in my Sax School.

The Scott Paddock Sax School is OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!

It's time to take the guesswork out of what to practice, how to practice & what to practice next. The Scott Paddock Sax School is laser focused on helping you become a better sax player by guiding you along a direct path, structured to help you hear immediate results.

The Sax School is an online subscription based membership made up of courses that are set up in the exact same way that I teach private lessons.

KNOWING your Major Scales is a BIG HELPING FACTOR!
I remember when I Made It to College! The only scales I knew were C Maj and Bb Maj! It was kinda embarrassing but Now I KNOW & CAN PLAY ALL MY SCALES! Thank God 🙏 🎷 😇

I don't understand how this guy has the perfect tone. It's the best tone I have ever heard on any instrument.

[AECEntertainment]

I must remember that hes talking about the keys of the instrument. When he played the g major scale, the concert pitch was Bb

[stephenritz]

Hi - love your channel. Do you find it's easier (especially for rank beginner's like me) to stay in the pentatonic, or should I practice with the entire scale? Thanks.

How do you make the higher notes sound more stereotypical saxophone-like rather than more Clarinet like?

[costarico]

Whats the black thing you use on the F/ key?

[AustinStriker-vp]

What I do is I play random notes and go up and down octaves and my band teacher says they all sound amazing

[ewhresamsonmajohnmajohn]

This is good. But if you can write out the note it will help for beginners like me. G( D R M
