I don't usually start threads (so be nice lol) but was wondering if there are any Alto sax players around.
Looking for the notes for - Feel so close, Calvin Harris - can't find them online and am not good enough to work it out 
So... may be someone in the lovely Fab community can help me out 
Merci x

"Do you want the exact notes, or just the key it's in, so you can play around the scale (which will probably lead you to the correct notes anyway  ) ?"
Am not musical at all lol and a beginner, been teaching myself for the last year, to read music and play. Exact notes would be great. You're losing me if you mention keys lol |

"Search for a midi version and then pop it into a sequencer, solo the sax track and you have the score. Or PM me (and tell me what key you want it in) and I'll have a go."
Merci, I will try that and pm you if am struggling. Which am sure I will.
I speak 4 languages, taught myself bits of Japanese... But with Music... It is a all different part of my brain.

The key is just (generally, there are exceptions) the note the song starts in, C major in the case of that song. The chances are the sax is then just playing a pentatonic scale (it's pop music, so unlikely to be anything more exotic than that).
Find the notes for the C major pentatonic scale and play them in any old order you like and it should sound fine
You can even throw some Blues scale notes in and it'll sound fine.
Then refine it to get the correct notes. Being able to slow it down but retain the key is always useful...tons of software to do that. |

Ok am with you now. Will look online for softwares too. Never thought about that.
Being French and learning all the music terms in English is an additional challenge but great fun. Merci |

Lol no, just happy listening to him and some great others
Am 44 and realistic lol no teachers in Edinburgh so have to learn alone, with CDs and online! And am happy messing about with my fave tunes. But hoping to get to some more complex jazz tunes in a bit |

Gilad is a friend of mine...he's brilliant but bonkers! He's the most insane sax player I've ever heard...there isn't anyone in the world that can touch him, in my opinion.
Go and see him live, as that's where he shines. |

It's an eye opener Max, technology there is about 15 years in advance of us. They were already on HDTV when I first visited in 1987, the taxi driver was able to open/ close and lock all the passenger doors from his seat using hydraulics. All taxis had live TV in the headlining. |
