      Hi Johnny,
      I’m practicing this cool song but I’m finding some difficulties on getting that cool effect at verse 32/33 of your sheet for alto (min 2:19 of your youtube video). Is it just a glissando or you add some other techniques?
      Cheers,
      Matteo

        I ghost a chromatic scale going down from those notes A, D, A, D, A#
        So playing a proper chromtaic scale which includes all the notes, will probably sound too stiff. By ghosting I mean that I don’t actually include every single note. That;s how you get that effect…it’s much smoother that way. Let your fingers fall naturally over the notes between the 2 written notes (A, D)
