Would appreciate some advice from you gents regarding any fingering tips you might suggest. The piece is for tenor, 4/4 time, metronome setting = 150, key of G minor. There is an eighth-note (quaver) riff as follows: upper register B natural – B flat – A natural – F natural, repeated several times, obviously quickly. Fingering B natural-to- B flat (chromatic) on the sax is always a pain; the book says use the side key, but it seems slow and awkward. I’ve tried the L1+R1, and it sounds weak. I also tried activating the bis key by putting my middle finger down, and the intonation is much better, but then I have a cross-fingering issue when it’s time to play the F natural. Any ideas?
