So I learned this intro from your video, went away and practiced and practiced till I not only knew it off my heart, but could play it reasonably well at full speed.
Then I went to find the sheet music so I could also play the melody of the verses which was the point I realised, you've got an alto. I've got a tenor. I've learned it in the wrong bloody key! 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@saxschool]

Great!

[@vincentvega9863]

@@saxschool Not really.
Then again, the version for tenor requires altissimo which is far beyond my level so I'll just keep playing the alto version on my tenor for a while 😂
