Hi Johnny,
Now in the month of June I’m looking at starting to break down your 7 licks at the end of the book and in breaking down the Brown Sugar Sax solo (like I was for my practice today); you mean that we can actually take this solo and recycle it?!? That’s a real eye opener for me because talk about thinking “out of the box!”. If we can do that with a solo with Brown Sugar, then we can do the same thing with other solos too, right? Or, at the very least, there are licks and riffs we can use out of different Saxophone solos and use them when playing with a band; given the key the band is playing in? Is this what you were trying to get across when you talk about recycling our music? That’s really powerful stuff you’re talking about because virtually everyone recognizes solos like Brown Sugar and they love to hear it. The thought of being able to pull it out and use solos like that in different situations REALLY appeals to me. I hope someday to be good enough to play with a band…what band would not want to have a Saxophone player who has the ability to play solos like that; given the key the band is playing in? WOW 🙂
