Hi Everyone, I haven't been on the forum for a long time but feel I need to ask for some support on this topic.
I am 54 yrs old and have owned an alto sax for about two years left to me by a dear friend and great sax player.
I read music to a point having played trumpet at school etc & I have played guitar and keyboards in bands for a good few years.
I have two problems
1. I want to play sax in a newly formed band for fun but I can only play by ear as I find it really hard to get my head around the dots !!
2. Having got on really well with the Alto by ear (fumbling I think is more like it!) the band are very bluesy and think it may be worth converting to a Tenor. How difficult would that be and has all my learning and patience by my good lady wife been a waste of time? ANY HELP would be Grrrreat .
Many Thanks G. ;}
