I've only been playing alto sax for about 5 months. Always bangin' away at long notes, major scales then tunes in every one of my daily practice sessions.
Today I thought I'd leave the beaten path and try something else for a change.
So, I thought I'd try to learn a blues scale....
Wow.. it was really fun with a capital F-U-N to just play around this scale

I nearly put my sunglasses on

LOL.
Can only recommend this to any beginners like me, who haven't tried this yet.

I always thought of them as kewl. But, suit yourself. Enjoy your new shiny blues scale (and dirty it up in the process).

Get some Aebersold Blues books with playalong CD's. Easy to play stuff but sounds really good. A great way to shed them blues. I think its called "All Blues" and also "Minor Blues in all keys". Great stuff.
