I’ve been working on the saxophone intro for Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.
I’ve been working it out by ear and am in need of assistance. If anyone is familiar with this song already I’d love for you to share any corrections to the tabs below.
Here’s where I’m at.
Harmonica C
Key D
Mode Dorian
Below is what I’ve tabbed out by ear. As I started to work on rhythm, tone, and dynamics some notes do not sound like the correct intervals. I feel as if I’ve taken as far as I can on my own.
