      Johnny,

      Please could you transcribe part of Aint no Sunshine where there is a run up to an altissimo note right after the bridge? I can follow the rest of it, I just can’t work this bit out.

      Are there any good lessons for practicing fast runs?

      Thanks.

        Hi Mikjay, I’ve transcribed the entire song and it’s available as a download…you can find it on the saxophone music section here:

        For improving your speed, you can take a scale and a chord arpeggio, starting slow and building up speed. Where many can go wrong is to cheat and keep getting faster while still making mistakes along the way. A metronome can help with this by keeping you honest and I did a metronome lesson on this which you can find in the “technique” section of the lessons.

        Also include chromatic scales for this!
