How do you play the alto sax solo to bad to the bone?

Answer 1

Went to a bar the other day that let people up on stage who brought their instruments. We played Bad to the Bone with me on my alto. I only played the repetative series of five notes so I'm not sure if that's what you're wanting but it's worth a shot. You should know what part of the song I'm talking about after you play the notes together. The notes are(all of them without the octive and are natural): E A E G E Hope that's what you're wanting. =]

Answer 2

I am about 90% sure this is right the main riff is b flat, b flat, e, b flat, d, b flat. If that doesn't sound right then go a half step or a whole step up and down on each of the notes. Have fun

Answer 3

There are a lot of ways you can learn to play low b flat:

1. If you are a beginning player, its not going to come easy, try choking up on your mouth piece.

2. You might be playing on to hard a read, experiment with different hardnesses.

3. sometimes your just not putting enough air through the horn, and make sure to relax and let it flow.

4. instead of low b flat.. try low c.. or the lowest note you can play, and play long tones, and gradually slur down.

5. you might have a leak, if you can play well all down to one note, you may want to get help

6. most importantly, don't give up!

Answer 4

There are two main ways to play it. One is the 1-1 way which is the first pearl (the one used to play a normal B) and the 4th pearl ( the first on the bottom set of three). The other way is to play an A (first 2 pearls) and the last of the bottom set of side keys.
