Role of Saxophone in Rock Music

Hi, I'm Scott Smith here with Expert Village. Right now we're going to talk about a section of the orchestra that I have left out. That would be horns that would be woodwinds and brass section. Among all the horns that are available to us the saxophone reigns supreme with regards to rock n' roll. So here's one of the sounds that I can use. That's an alto sax. Combined with other horns we get a more full sound. Oops. Combining that with a full band and a full orchestra or anything that you really want...you have to remember one thing. That everything that we do today, every single note and every pattern that we've ever played or are going to play has been done before in one form or another. This is the connection between classical music and what we play today. Whether we're playing rock n' roll, jazz, Latin it all stems from the classic music that was played back in the 14, 15, 16, 1700's and the 1800's. We own them all of our thanks and I thank you too, for listening.
