      good luck, thats a guitar centered song, in my opinion the sax would be competing,, and the sax needs to be the center

        @brother no, saying the sax is competing is like saying the vocals are competing. we’re not playing the guitar part, we’re playing the melody (vocalist) part. the guitar supports the melody, it does not compete.


        @Robert
        great choice. it’s hard to give advice to somebody I never heard play before. my suggestion is to work on it for a while till you feel you’ve got a pretty good handle on it then upload a video or audio recording of it and we’ll take it from there.

            Hello brother cavefish: Have you seen Johny Ferreira playing Johny-Be-Goode?
            I’ve listened to this probably 100 times this month I can’t get it out of my head.

              actually i saw it after i made my comment , Johnny is very innovative, when it comes to the sax, i am more of a traditionalist , i really dont ask for much ,,,but simplicity , concerning the sax,,, i am an old fart lol

                I will be 60 years old next month I like smooth blues as well as jump blues 6 months ago I knew absolutely nothing about about the saxophone I thought you could blow in one end and music would come out the other. I stuck with it no teacher but practiced every night now can play a few songs like Amazing Grace really good. Now for Johny Be Goode I don’t know if the world’s ready for me or not haha.
