Hi everyone,
What it is is this, lets say i just played an A and my next note is going to be a C, i play the A followed by a B, followed by another A, then a G#.... so i am crushing the A, B, A, G# all into one beat then going up to the C.
The pattern seems to be "the note" up two semitones, back to "the note" and down a semitone, seems to work with all other notes as well, is there a recognised name for this? and what other combinations can be used?
Heard quite a few sax players use this patern, perticuarly tenor players, i even use it myself but find if i overdo it it tends to water the whole solo down somewhat.
