My student Paul in NY asked how to play this one, so here it is.
Starts on F#, that note repeats a few times. (Notes for tenor sax below video)
You bend the A.
Though there is a ten hour video on youtube, I wouldn’t recommend playing it for that long!
Correction: at 1:47, it says D E, but I’m playing E D. It should be E D. There is an annotation with this correction already on the youtube version, but that might not be visible here.
Also, the last note on alto should be a B, not an E.
Notes for tenor saxophone:
B
B B B B A B B
B B B A B B
D B A G
E E F# G E

juan says
i love this but you should make sheet music bro so we can be able to print it out it will help us better, not saying your video is bad its great its really helpful but for most of us printing it out would be much easier bt if you could make something to print it out i will appreciate it thank you bro..
Neal says
It’s good to not rely on sheet music that much. I learned this by ear, didn’t write down the music.
Matt says
Nice video, but just to let you know that after the A-F# bit you have put D-E when what you play and the music is is E-D
Neal says
Thanks, I play E D like it should be, but mixed them up on the diagram. Had added an annotation in the video, but I don’t think it’s displaying here. So I just added a note about that.
Nikki says

I play Bari, started on alto, I have been playing alto 5years now, Bari 3, I always love seeing people tryin to learn to play I’m only a sophomore in high school but i love watching people make experiences, and having fun, this song sounds/looks like a good “starter” song, I hope many of you who play have good fun with he sax
Louise Malone says
Sorry to burst your bubble Neal, but the original song that you can hear in the background (he’s playing along to is in (concert) Eb minor, it’s ‘run away – SunStroke Project & Olia Tira’ the Moldavan eurovision entry 2010. If you notice at the start of the video the guy’s mouthpiece is so far off the cork the sax is a semitone flat. Anyone wanting to play this on Alto should start on G (in the key of C minor)
You probably should’ve known this, having your own website and all!
NealB says
I still hear a concert A as the first note, F# on alto. Seems like you’re saying he fingers a G but is a half step flat, wouldn’t that make it an F#?

Oscar Brenes says
Hey after the last b are you sure it is D because I can’t make it should I use the D up or down?
NealB says
Listen for what sounds right to you. Notes in different octaves are not close to each other, just focus a little and listen and you should be able to figure it out.
I did make a couple of mistakes with this video the first time, might remake, but I did note all the corrections on this page.
Nathan Lorca says
VERY VERY GOOD
