Which minor scale should I play on the saxophone?
In this video, we begin by ensuring a complete understanding of what a minor scale is, explaining the ‘recipe’ for building one.
Using D minor (D-7) as our key example, we break down what D-7 means as a chord symbol. We then dive into the different types of minor scales, including the Dorian, Aeolian, Minor Pentatonic, Blues, and Harmonic Minor scales.
For each scale, I explain its construction and provide you with some beautiful licks or phrases that you can play, suitable for both alto and tenor sax.
