I play the flute.is it possible to play this song good on a sax by October?

@hikingbird42 Its easy to play the intro. No problem by October.If you look further back in my comments you will see I have provided the notes for alto sax.

@klasse2bub Its not too bad to play. Glad to hear you got a sax. Try to practise each day a little particularly your major scales. Best of Luck.

this was really good, if you were still a student in high school.

Thats a fair comment. This was recorded a while ago and hopefully I have improved somewhat. I am a late starter admittedly however music has helped me through some difficult times and I would recommend studying an instrument to anyone of any age.

@Mexicanwhiteboy101 OK on alto the intro goes as follows -

Octave key in C# B F# D C# B F# D A G D B A G D G F# D B G then climb back up F# G A B C# D E F# then repeat . Give it a go you'll soon get it. You can use a lead in note of D to the first C# if you wish.

nice job, cool room!

Love it! Very good, especially for a beginning musician! I've been playing saxophone since 8th grade, I began on piano in 3rd grade, then flute in 6th, and officially made the transition to sax as my primary instrument in 10th grade. I love it and I love playing jazz and improv.

Im actually working on learning this song to play at one of my band's upcoming gigs. I may post a video of my progress, granted I just started learning it, ha.

Oh ye and I just need to play the begining over and over again,not the hole song

[joshua2460]

sounds good and all but you rushed some notes at the beginning but for 16 months you sound good im 16 and ive been playing since i was eight but great job

Ok, heres what I have to say. It's really square, there's no style whatsoever, I would work on style which makes hearing it more enjoyable. I'm not sure what 'style' the song is so I can't tell you what kind of style you need, by the way it sounds it is a blues chart. I am a junior in High-School and my director kicks me anytime I play square. Hope this helps you in anyway, It's not meant to be rude or cruel, just the truth and It's meant to help you.
