Here is some advice which wasn’t appreciated, but I think can help. Had a conversation about where to get ideas for jazz solos.

If you want to play jazz solo ideas, you should listen to music and see what you like.

Without listening, it just doesn’t work as well.

You could look at transcriptions, but especially when a beginning sax player tries some of these lines, they won’t sound like they did originally. They might even sound drastically different and probably not in a good way.

Think about the difference between Coltrane playing a solo and a saxophone player trying to play the same solo after playing saxophone for two years.

The paper won’t have all of the ‘music’ and that’s assuming that it’s read perfectly.

Transcriptions help the people who write them the most.

I’m looking for some sheet music

Neal Battaglia
for what?

Roxas
just some jazz solos that I could get ideas from

Neal Battaglia
how long have you been playing?

Roxas
2 years and a half

Neal Battaglia
Do you listen to some jazz and know whose ideas you like?

Roxas
No

Neal Battaglia
Then do that

Roxas
Ok what should I do after?

Neal Battaglia
The best thing would be to listen and then figure out how to play ideas by ear
but listen first to figure out what you want to learn

Roxas
Ok thanks
