Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo, the sax line. The background and sax line of the song actually comes from a song called “Hermetico” by ‘Balkan Beat Box’. In that song, the sax plays more. Pretty cool beat and the sax line is catchy. This lesson will be the piece that’s in Jason Derulo’s song. Ori Kaplan plays the alto sax for the line in the song.

Jazmine asked about this song, so I went ahead and learned the sax line by ear.

Note:

At 1:18 in the video the visual indicates there being six notes, but you can hear nine being played. The last three are the same three notes that you’ll see right after that. Those three notes are not repeated.

The ‘solutions’ to the music (the notes for this lesson) are listed below the video. They’re not listed all at once though. They’re listed one at a time. You can scroll down to see one and then if you want to check the next one, you’ll need to scroll down farther. In this way, it’s a slight bit of a hassle to check the next note and I would encourage you to not look unless completely necessary.

Use the fingering chart if you need to.

Try it out! And let me know how it goes and what you think of the format.
