How to Play a C Minor 7th Chord on the Saxophone

MIYANNA NIELSEN: Okay, we're going to start with C because it's the easiest starting point. Once again, we have C major scale, click review. Major 7th chord.

One thing that's very interesting to do with these is once you get up to the higher 7th to go up to just a whole step above that, and that will bring you to the octave above the root. So, extend this a little bit above and below the immediate octaves.
