Great Michael, as for the part in the song you need to be more precise so I can look at it…
what saxophone part are you playing (EB, Bb) whcih page, bar etc
I don’t know what you mean by ther 2nd scale in the song…maybe count the bars.

I’m going to play this on Tenor Saxophone, on the first page of the sheet music, measures number 38-39. On this part of the song it’s in C# major and shows C#, A#, and 2-C# notes (1 of the C# notes is an 8th and the other is a quarter) When I watch you play these last 2 C# notes, I was wondering if you had played those last 2 C# notes as accidentals on video/C Naturals instead of C# like the sheet music shows here–it sounds really nice that way you played it.

It’s just a little trick I do …when playing A# just wiggle the notes with your left hand.
