one bar opening riffs

My appologies Jeff! you were right with the 2nd email you sent me… I overlooked it.
Those that have the Killer Blues can see that the blues riffs given at the end of the ebook are written in C for tenor and in G for alto so the alto parts are already transposed it G.

Jeff, the above transposition you attached is in D. remember the riff in C starts the first 3 notes 5, 6, 1 which are G, A C
so to transpose that in G it would be D, E, G
since your current example starts with A, B D it means it’s in D
this is a good transposition lesson for anyone wanting to understand it.

@Johnny – glad you cleared that up with the killer blues. When i read your initial comment i thought you were at cross purposes and talking about something else in terms of the alto.

Sorry Johnny, I was confused by the key signatures. I expected to see a single F# for the key of G.

Ah well! It was still a good exercise as you mentioned.

Perhaps you can edit my post to state it correctly.

Hi Guys

I’ve updated the file so the riff’s are in the Key of G for Eb Sax.
