One question.... Why don't you try to learn the entire song :D

@leathoforganicplasti

I learned what was needed to accompany a sax player. I posted my take on the intro because I thought other beginners (like myself) might get something from it.

dud u do any tabs for this the pdf is the those who can read music jus looks like clingon to me lol it you did ill give u my email fanks

[thomascray]

A few drinks before writing that? :)

[thomascray]

Sorry, no tabs. Just the simple PDF and the video. It's a pretty simple piece - I bet you can pick it up using your ear and watching the video.

[ttkratzke]

Is that pdf from a book, and if so, what book?

[leathoforganicplasti]

@thomascray Don't get me wrong it's awsome that you have posted this. Actually i've learned this from you so i guess thanks are in order. I didn't knew about this song till hearing you :-s but i love it. Hope i'l be able to make the rest of the arrangement for the guitar. I don't have anyone who plays a sax so... ya:( too bad i guess :)

[JMBELK]

Cool...!!!

[CisforClarinet]

Hmm I liked this! Great job dude! Thanks for posting :D

And for all those people who say this sounds like blues, that's only because the work song is based off of the F Blues scale. Very fun to improv over on sax:)
