Here are some chords you can play as arpeggios (chord notes separately) on sax. The note that stays the same is the root- the root defines the name of the chord. The fifth doesn’t change for all of them. The third and seventh define the sound of the chord.
- Major Root, 3rd, 5th
- Major 7th Root, 3rd, 5th, major 7th
- Dominant 7th Root, 3rd, 5th, minor 7th
- Minor Root, minor 3rd, 5th
- Minor 7th Root, minor 3rd, 5th, minor 7th
- Diminished Root, 3rd, 5th,
- Diminished 7th Root, minor 3rd, diminished 5th, minor 7
- Augmented Root, 3rd, augmented 5th
- Augmented 7th Root, 3rd, augmented 5th, major 7
