“Tears In Heaven”

Eric Clapton”s music is in A major. That puts the Tenor Sax in B major. 5 sharps Easy to play. B, C#, D#. E, F#, G#, A#, B. Try it. You’ll like it.

Good blowing Pete. Maybe Johnny will offer “For the Good Times” Kris Kristofferson

William

I have the sheet music in A minor, no sharps or flats, similar to the key of C major. The backing track is downloaded in the key of G Minor , two flats like Bb
William

I have to be two semi tones above the backing tracks since I blow tenor sax
William

Still working on Mrs Robinson. If the backing track is G minor, two flats would the sheet music be A minor,
William

I if the sheet music keg signature is one sharp, similar to key of G what is the key of backing track? F?
