Love this, Dave! What a great roadmap and process for all levels of players. You always make it so clear and logical -- hard to do when this is pretty complicated stuff. Thank you!

[@DavePollack]

So glad you like it!! You're so welcome.

[@nicolasmichael2157]

Thank you Dave. Fantastic material and fantastic explanation as always!!!

[@DavePollack]

You're so welcome Nico!!

[@Simon.the.Likeable]

Which other sax guy on CZcams could smile like that while absolutely killing it? Thanks Dave!

[@DavePollack]

🤘

[@beachcraftonline9391]

I love this series, very helpful to double check what I think I already know and push the limits of my knowledge

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it.

[@GregGandenberger]

Rhythm changes would be a great!

[@DavePollack]

That will DEFINITELY be one in this series!

[@Thoughtsinmykitchen]

Love this new series. Thank you so much Dave.

[@DavePollack]

You’re so welcome!

[@ginohernandez5143]

Great stuff here Dave. Keep em coming!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks, and will do!

[@alanhirayama4592]

This is so great, Dave! I think the most valuable activity from this is to literally transcribe what you are playing. My area of improvement is definitely aural, so being able to internalize your excellent examples will definitely help me. Level 3 is gonna be a B*T*H! LOL Thank you for sharing!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you dig it and will get a lot out of it. Have fun with it!

[@maxipoo259]

Great video!! But any tips for changing to double time lines?

[@albertogilgarcia]

Awesome, dude!!
Great way to upgrade progressively! Thank you so much for this inspirations

[@DavePollack]

You're very welcome!!

[@henrychess3]

Can you upload a version where there's only the music playing for all three levels? I'm a non musician and I just want to listen to the music 😂

[@DavePollack]

If you email me I can email you the mp3s! info [at] davepollack [dot] com

[@robstevens9590]

Again, another helpful step-by-step session! Thanks Dave! I've been playing this tune for a couple years, but most of my improv has been embellishing the melody and playing appropriate scales. I'm just beginning to really learn to play the chord changes.

[@DavePollack]

Thanks again Rob! Between this videos and some of the ones in my improvisation playlist, you should be well on your way with it!

[@denice5118]

Interesting but i didn't understand anything about key centers. Explanation would welcome.

[@DavePollack]

It just means the key you're currently in. So if you have a 2-5-1 in G major, you're in the key (center) of G major for all 3 chords. This is just a way of simplifying the sounds instead of worrying about attacking each individual chord.
