Saxophone is almost as important to reggae as the ganga plantation is to the Jamaican economy. This is a transcription of Bob Marley's first number one hit (on the island, that is). I would doubt that the reputable reggae saxophone artist "Dean Frasier" is performing on this one, but nonetheless, it is a classic that isn't extremely hard to play.

If you're out to please the masses, it doesn't get much catchier than this riff. For a complete interpolation of this destined to be a classic track, check out this link:

The 1980's found its ultimate New Years Eve party song when this his was released. Notice the nomenclature with "s" instructing the player to use side keys to play the high notes and "o" reminding him/her to use the octave key. Don't get too rowdy with this one!
The horn parts for this song are in the "more adifficult" category, so it might not be worth tackling this one unless you feel above par. Finally, a classic Stax line for everyone out there - Have Fun!
Here's another rock song with a classic synth riff that works well for most woodwind and brass instruments. This one is written in concert pitch, so the proper translation is necessary if you want to play along with the original recording.
If you want to please the ladies.... or the men - depending on your preference, this song mixes soul with
romance like no other. Learn it slow as it's a slow song, so no need to rush!
If you want to play some very cool sounding saxophone lines, then this is most definitely the song to work thru. I didn't transcribe the solo, but just improvise in the key listed on the chart and you'll be good to go.
I entered the world of computing during the advent of Windows XP. At that point, I felt computers had the power to live up to their own expectations. In other words you could record audio, edit photos, scan and edit documents, word process, and run balance sheets. Computers could be used to watch DVD movies, listen to music, view photos, and correspond with others. The piecemeal availability software to perform all those functions seemed like a hassle - why couldn't XP include all that functionality into their operating system? Well, that's the topic for another time. One software item that always seemed elusive to me was a quality FREE photo editing application. Yes, there's Picasa..... and Arcsoft comes free all too often, but I wanted to create photos with ease and quality, similar to the service that Instagram provides, but without the need for an online connection. After much searching, I found it with Fotor! The problem with Fotor is that nag screens appear every time you open the software. There's lots good, such as amazing preset effects, collage design, and batch effects editing. But in my opinion, the nag screens and upsells made the application much less desirable. Nonetheless, I found a solution to the problem. "Lock" the folders that contain the script for the nag screens, and the requests for upgrades will go away. I used iObit's "Protected Folder" application to perform the locks in these folders: C:\Program Files\Fotor\Adv\ C:\Program Files\Fotor\FotorTip\ C:\Program Files\Fotor\Notification\ I did notice a second copy of "FotorTip" in: C:\Program Files\Fotor\Resource\FotorTip\ This has not caused any problems as of yet, but it might in the future, as similar folders seemed to be hosting the nag screens thus far. Yes, I realize this instructional has limited information. You need to Google "Fotor" and download the application on your own. It's your job to find a hack version of iObit's "Protected Folder". But now you know how to stop the nag screens, so it's your job to go ahead and figure out the rest on your own.
Back in the late 1970's, American consumers were asked to decide what soft drink they preferred (Pepsi or Coke) in a blind taste test. It was easy to tell the difference, so the truth of the matter was, most participants just wanted a free glass of soda.
A few years back, I posted an article about the effectiveness of amp modelers and vst simulators, but I never presented the reader with an audio comparison, so here it is. Look below on the left for example tracks and directly below for the quiz!
