Hi Tim, I have corrected the range to be playable for saxophone. I do step chromatic because, however, I faster memorize patterns if I exercise in that way. After that I vary intervalls as Dick Grooves practice templates ;-)
My saxophone hero is Sonny Rollins, I also like Dexter Gordon and Jerry Bergonzi very much and Seamus Blake, Wayne Shorter and many others also. I just figured out some Coltrane patterns to lock to his structures, especially "Giant Steps" period, the permutation stuff ;-) Keep swingin' Peter Am Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:10:41 -0500 schrieb Tim McNamara <[email protected]>: > > On Oct 21, 2009, at 4:13 AM, Peter Berlau wrote: > > > I have done writing done some patterns of my favorite sax players > > and like to transpose this patterns to any key. > > > > I found a solution but I am not sure if this is a elegant method, > > also maybe it is more useful to make use of the enharmonics to make > > the sheet more readable.
