Key of C. Bb for Bb sax.

Thanks Johnny. Part where is sax solo is somehow too hard for me to play. Can i improvise my own solo on that section? And what notes should i use so it will go with backing track. Will it work if i just play again few bars from beginning over solo section?

[john]

yes you can play your own solo. start with the C major pentatonic scale. it will work over the whole solo.

[Simon]

Thanks, i’ll try it and see what will come out:)

[john]

you can also practice it with my “improvisation” lessons where I have the backing track which I believe is in Bb or C
check it out…the link is on the homepage near the bottom

Johnny do you play solo section as written or you improvise in video?

[john]

yup exact same notes, I add a few more trills and shakes but those are the notes.

[Simon]

Ok thanks Johnny. Will try to figure out solo using written notes.
