Greetings,
This is a guitar version of the sax solo in Cool Change. I went to some free, user submitted sax solo
websites, then transcribed it from B-flat to the key of A, how the recording sound.
This is my version of
that Sax Solo that is after the break that goes:
C A
Sometimes I’m romantic and sometimes I don’t care,
C E
I know this might sound selfish but let me breath the air.
The sax actually starts the first note of the solo on the lyric “let (me breath…"
which makes this note like
four whole notes, too long for me, but I come in for the last whole note. Also since
I’m trying to sound
like a Sax, I’m applying tremolo on any note a quarter or longer, and sliding a lot,
I’ve included the ones
that facilitate my fingering. It’s not exact, but I think it sounds pretty good, and
I hope you enjoy!
I’d love to hear from anybody who’s gotten it closer. ps, my first submission to UG, Don
